Revision Of the Constitution.
AT the last session of the Sovereign
Council of the Sons of Jonadab it was de-
termined to revise the constitution and gen.
eral laws governing the order. and just as
soon as the work of revision is completed
each council will be given copies of this
work. ~
I'm our report last year we referred to
the fact that this order had no day set apart
in the year to be known as Jonadab day.,
and recommended the adoption of one to
celebrate the founding of the order, and
September ID was fixed upon as 'Jonadab
day. This event was appropriately cele-
brated and was a grand success.
During the year just closed in the his
tory of the Jonadab order death has
claimed some of its most useful and re-
spected members-James E. Hibbs, past
sovereign chief of the order, who died Oc-
tober 3. 1904; Guy Wines, John S. Mans
field. Thomas ]. Bowling of Pioneer Coun-
ell. Henry Yenny, Woolman Gibson of Cen
tennial Council. John H. Cook of Good
VIII Council, A. ]. A. Fountain of Monu-
mental Council, Edward Tattersall and
Harry Cook of Potomac Council.

After this response from the bench Attor-
ney Calvin w. Chase addressed his honor
He spoke in praise of Judge Mullowny's
work assistant district attorney, and he
asked that the members of the bar be given
the same consideration when he filed
that position. He added that the appoint
ment of Judge Mullowny met the universal
approval of the entire community. Attor-
ney John Moss also made brief address.
After these speeches members of the bar,
many of them candidates for the Police
Court judgeship, officials of the court and
others, approached the bench to shake
hands with Judge Mullowny. 1t was pop
ular reception and lasted for about fifteen
minutes. At the end of that time the rou-
tine business of the court was taken up
