make study of the plans adopted by

notifications, the report was adopted
as it came from the committee, there
being few changes of Importance in
the laws which have heretofore gov
erned the order.
In the afternoon the session was held
in the old Catholic church building,
now known as Catholic hail. AS the
business Of the organization had been

an address full of interest and was
followed by E. G. Mulroney, w. L..
Murphy, p. J. Regain, NJ. Fl. Cannon,

thorough discussion, to adopt the ILL
nos plan Of insurance, which insures
the members of the order in various
amounts and which is given at NOM

of the morning session was the initia-
ton of % Missoula ladies Into the

which meritcd well deserved applause
from the delegates present.
