IEET IN KANSAS CITY

Members of the Maccabee lodge and
several other organizations which have
raised their rates during the past few
months are planning to form a Fra
ternal Protective association in Kan
Eas and Missouri for the express pur-
pose of fighting the proposed increase
in the premiums. A meeting to per-
feet the association will probably be
held in Kansas City, Kas., about De
cember 1.
The reason for its organization is
found in the fact that the national
officers of the Maccabees have issued
a ukase forbidding the discussion of
the increased rates in the regular
meetings of the order without special
permit. under pain of expulsion and
loss of all privileges and benefits.
Quite a number of the members, es-
pecially those advanced in age are de-
termined, however, to make a fight
of some kind. In New York it has
taken the form of law suits, and the
Kansas people are willing to await the
outcome of those cases. Yet at the
same time they intend to be in readi-

AKERsoN OUT OF 1T.
Missouri FuIIback May Play No More
This Season.

Columbia, Mo-, Nov. 5.-The Tigers
finished up their practice last night
for the Washington game in st. Louis
today. There is mora or less gloom
here owing to the fact that Akerson is
in the hospital and will not accom-
pany the team to st. Louis Akerson
has a case of water on the knee, and
he may not be able to get in any game
during the remainder of the season.
In the meantime Clemens, a new man
who has not been in any of the pre-
vious games, is to take Akerson's
place. He is the best punter in the
squad and was selected more for this
reason, perhaps, than for his superior
ability as a fullback. Lee Gentry is
also being played as fullback. The
rest of the men are in good condition.
Forster, the big ST. Louis boy, has
been shifted temporarily to tackle.
Tillman and Bryant will play the half
back positions.
