BUFFALO, N. Y, June 9.-Today
being Odd Fellows memorial day,
the Odd Fellows of this city and

marching to the various cemeter-

deceased members of the order. In
former years the day was marked
by a grand parade of the members
of the various local lodges, but
this year no such parade was held
owing to the fact that the Odd Eel

The internal troubles of the

which occupied the time. of the
local courts for years, cropped out
again this morning when Thomas
F. CoCnlan began an action to
have the corporation dissolved and
a receiver appointed for the prop

Conlan alleges that he purchased
the interest of Martin Bergman

Charles P. Oudin and wife, who
own the other half Of the stock,
have refused to allow him to be
elected as a trustee and that the
company has been without trustees
for three years.
He claims that the company has
suffered great financial reverses as
a result of the management of

was burned down through his care
