Especial to 1.-THE Jersey city News."I
NEW BRUNSWICK, May II, 1904.
The annual State Convention of the
Foresters of America was held in Short
ridges Theatre, in this city, yesterday.
The convention was opened at 1920
A. NJ. an address of welcome being de-
liyered by Mayor William S. Meyers.
Among the guests are Supreme Chief
Ranger John Kelly. of Jersey City and
Supreme Secretary McMurtry, of Brook
lyn.
The annual report of Chief Ranger
Edward l. Guthrie, of Jersey City, was
read, showing an increase of membership
during the year of 1904 and of eighteen
new courts. The receipts for the year
amounted to s126, 1902, an increase of
$21 ,672.54.
The Chief Ranger recommended that
all the courts be Incorporated; that the
officers give bonds; that an increase be
made in the per capita tax to carry on
the work of forming State degree team
and the stopping of the practice of send
ing tickets for games of chance through
the mails.
Court Frank of Orange and Court Am
boy of Perth Amboy are hot contestants
for the prize for the largest percentage
of membership present. Court Frank
looks like winner.
The convention in the morning voted
down the proposition to raise the per
capita tax from thirty cents to thirty
seven cents. the additional seven cents
being for an organization fund to be
used in defraying the expense of estab-
fishing new courts. At the afternoon
session it reconsidered the action of the
morning and voted to make an increase
of five cents.
The acting chief ranger received
handsome portrait of himself made in
Rome and sketched with the fingers,
brush not being used. He also received
from the delegates as a token of their
esteem gold watch and chain.
The convention voted to raise the sal
airy of the grand secretary from $500
to 5000. The next convention is to be
held in Englewood.
These officers were elected Grand

ELKS HALL FILLED
Teachers Fair Well Pat
ronized by Prominent
People From All
Parts of the
County.

That the public appreciates the worth
mess of the cause behind the fair now
running at Elks' Hall in aid of the State
Teachers Retirement Fund and the Jer-
sey City Teachers Club, was evidenced
by the large attendance last night-the
second of the fair. 1t was feared by
some that the selection of the same week
as that of the annual police show might
interfere with the attendance at the fair,
but the large crowds that have filed
Elks' Hall the last two nights has dis
PEELED such a fear.
Despite all the artistic attempts hith-
erto put forward in the line of decora-
tions in connection with great fairs that
have been held in the fine hall. it has
never presented a more picturesque as
pectg than can be witnessed any night
this week during the progress of the
Bazaar of Seasons as the fair is term
ed. Such it is in reality. All four of
the seasons are artistically represented
in the decorations of the booths and
| pagodas. Each one is attended by a
beyy of charming women eager to dis
pose of delicacies, fruits. flowers and
useful and fancy wares.
