The letter of Louis T. La Beaume the
deposed national secretary and treasurer.
was read before the meeting of Post B last
Saturday night, and while no definite ac-
ton was taken in the matter. the sympa-
thies of the post seem TO be unanimously
with Mr.. La Beaume. The letter sets forth
the true conditions as the writer says they
exist. He denies that there was ever any
shortage in his accounts, and says this
was proven by the second expert account
ant hired to look over the books. Mr.. La
Beaume concludes his letter a follows: II
have been illegally suspended while sick in
bed at home; no amount was charged as
short; no demand was made on me; ac-
count was submitted to me. / was suS-
pended without notice TO me; without hear
ing without any evidence, and was not
given the chance that the law allows in a
police court TO a Vagrant criminal | have
no hesitation in assuring the members at
large that 1 shall disprove the slanderous,
false and cowardly statement of my ac-
cusers."
j. P. O'Meara, who is just entering upon
his first term president of Post B, has
already proved his efficiency for the posi-
ton, and that he is none other than a par
Humanitarian is conceded. All of the meet
ings with him in the chair are conducted
in a dignified and orderly manner without
the least show of favor or partiality to
any. Mr.. O Meara succeeded H. H. Eek
house, who was candidate for reelection,
and the race between the two candidates
was the hottest, but the most friendly, that
the local post has ever experienced. Both
OF the candidates were exceedingly popular
a ~ he fNHr ata1 h.
last ballot was cast ii was anybodys cleo
ton. Because of the esteem in which the
candidates for the presidency were held by
their brothers il was difficult to make a
choice between the two. Mr.. OMeara for
the last year, has been connected with the
Mooney Mueller Wholesale Drug Company,
having charge of the cigar department.
Previous TO that time he was connected
with Patten Bros.
The center of interest for all members of
the 7. p. A of the State for this week is
at Lafayette, where will be held the an
nual state convention. Indianapolis will
send the largest delegation that it has ever
sent to any similar meeting. and through
the persevering efforts of Pete Trone the
delegation will this year be accompanied
by the Indianapolis Military Band. Trone
is chairman of the transportation commit
tee, and Ia this capacity has also worked
uncea singly for the band and last Satur-
day night was finally empowered to make
arrangements for ii to go along Pete is
enthusiastic on this proposition and says
that If Post doesn't make a cleaning at
Lafayette IL won't be any fault of the band.
The local post is entitled TO fifty-one del
egates on the floor of the convention, and
Ii is believed now that there will be nearly
one hundred TO go from this city alone.
The impression seems to be out among
some OF the members that the wives and
sisters were not to be taken this trip.
This Is erroneous, said one of the mem
bers last night. There will be many of
the wives and sisters accompany us to the
state convention, and we want many TO
go along as can. The dance Friday night
will be one of the big functions and we
want TO show the boys from out in the
state what queens we have in Indianapo-
lis All delegates going TO the convention
are asked to meet at the clubhouse at Il
O'Clock sharp Friday and march TO the
Union station in body. The train will
leave at 1870.
