and to maintain harmony and confidence
throughout the State. Its to be regretted
that despite our efforts to retain them,
SO large number Of our members have
Withdrawn from the order and deprived
their loved ones, as well as themselves,
of fraternal protection such as no other
organization affords.
I'VE do not purpose at THE time dis
cussing either the conditions which caus-
ed so large loss in membership. or the
methods and measures which, in the
opinion Of many, might have prevented it.
The past is gone, our faith is firm, our
confidence in the future of the order new
er so strong, and to its upbuilding to
greater glory we pledge our best efforts" !"
The grand regent then went on to
speak Of the special session held last
summer. the first in the history of the
grand council, and spoke words Of praise
for the work performed by various off
GERS and different auxiliaries of the or
der. Relative to the electing of the vori-
ous committees, instead of appointing
them, the grand regent had the follow
ing to say: 1.-THE duty of the committee
on finance is purely perfunctory and cler-
ical, and of the committee on laws ad-
visory only, and fail to find reasonable
objection to the election of both by the
grand council.
1.-THE committee on state Of the order,
however, is charged with making effec-
tive whatever policy the grand regent
may adopt for the prosecution of the
welfare of the order, and should be COM
posed of members of his own selection,
and upon whom he can rely for the full
est cooperation.
He also suggests that the executive
committee be reduced to six members, in
SlCtt VI lSus ~ uc COlA pOSCQ VI lAO SA~tkA
regent, grand vice-regent, grand orator,
past grand regent, grand secretary and
grand treasurer. He recommends that
the visitation fund be $4,000 as hereto
fore; that 5000 be appropriated to the
committee on state of the order, and
5000 to the hospital bed fund associa-
tion.
In conclusion. the grand regent said
that, while he had been unable to carry
to ful6lment al of the plans he had ex
pected to put in operation at the begin
ming of the year, and his hopes and am
billions were far from realization, he had
earnestly striven to promote harmony
and good feeling throughout the jurisdic-
tien, and believed that his efforts had
met with fair measure OF success.
Great applause followed the reading
of the report and the reading of the re-
ports of the other officers.

NEW BRUNSWICK. May 8, 1906
In the marshes and scrub woods around
Old Bridge the Sheriff and posse hope
to discover the murderers of George
Whiteman, 40 years old, and his father,
10 years old, whose bodies, horribly
slashed with razors and with throats cut
were found yesterday in the barroom of
the little hotel, or road house, which
to Matawan two miles from Old Bridge.
The hotel was $50 yards from the
Whiteman homestead. Yesterday after
noon it was noticed the place was closed.
The door was forced, and leaningagainst
the deor were the bodies of father and
son. Blood was everywhere, and on the
floor were the blades Of several broken
razors.
ben attacked in force. They had made
desperate struggle for life. The hands
been attacked in force. They had made
showing they had seized and broken the
razors welded by their assailants. The
cleanness with which the threats were
cut indicated that they had been over
powered, perhaps while they were held
by their assailants, their threats were cut
as if they had been sheep.
The cause of the crime and the identi-
ty of the perpetrators are mysteries.
Sheriff Church was informed of the trag-.
edy and went at once with posse to the
scene. which is in the marehy, remote
section oft he county in region covered
with scrub oak and clay pits.
Several weeks ago Mrs. Rachel Wright
was murdered at Old Bridge. She was
knocked senseless with a bludgeon and
then her throat was cut. The similarity
Of the crimes has caused the people to
believe that they were committed by the
same men.
An attempt had1bean made to set fire
to the Whiteman. place, but the FIRE had
burned itself out. The murderers had
locked all the shutters and doors except
the front. Then they placed the bodies
against the front door so that when it
was closed the bodies would fan against
it and wedge it shut
Tramps are frequent in the lonely
neighborhood and often menacing and
desperate. 1t is believed that a gang of
these entered the place, and either tried
to obtain free drinks by force or else
tried to empty the cash drawer. The
fight followed with the result the two
men We're killed. That their murderers
escaped without severe injury is doubt
ed.
The barToom was covered with blood.
The tables and chairs in the place were
overturned and covered with blood. and,
apparently the men made a desperate
fight. The younger man was strong and
vigorous, and it 10 believed there must
have been five or six in the attacking
party.
