LAKEWOOD, May 0, l906-Every
council in the State, with but one excep-
tion, was represented at the meeting of
the Grand Council of the Royal Area
mum, which held its second days session
| here yesterday. There was no session
| Monday night because its was thought
the warning factions might thereby
measure their strength for the great con-
| test scheduled for to-day when officers
will be elected.
Grand Regent Rodgers called atten-
ton to the fact that many Royal Area
mum brothers were in dire distress be-
cause of the earthquakes in California,
and motion was quickly offered and
adopted by rising unanimous vote
that the sum of 81 900 be transmitted to
| the supreme regent to be added to the
fund being raised for the San Francisco
Arcanians.
The following telegram was received
from supreme regent 81. g. Higgins
"Grand Council, New Jersey--Twen-
ty-eight grand councils heretofore meeting
| pledge allegiance to the order and send
fraternai greetings to New Jersey. May
your session prove harmonious and pave
1 the way for the accomplishment of
| greater victories in the future"
A score of resolutions from various
| subordinate councils seeking to make
changes in the laws were presented. One
| from Resolute Council, of Elizabeth,
provided that the subordinate councils
use their general fund as they see fit.
Another from the same council seeks to
amend the law so that in the supreme
council only direct Representatives from
| grand councils and the original incorpor-
ators will have voice and vote. A sim
liar resolution, relating to the grand
council was also introduced.
! American Council, of Arlington, pre-
sented a resolution providing that ap-
pointiye officers in the grand council
have no voice or vote.
Hudson County Council. of Hoboken,
| offered a resolution, praying that only
such representatives as are worthy of
/ election be sent to the supreme council,
| and not those who would merit condem-
| nation. Nothing but the rescindinr of
the new rates would save the order, the
resolution contended.
West Shore Council, of Union Hill,
through james Gallagher, presented a
quartet of resolutions, condenning the
Supreme Council for spending money for
the employment of special deputies, in
/ structing the representatives from New
Jersey to vote to have the Supreme
/ Council withdraw from the Fraternal
| Congress, and to abolish the office of
4 Past Junior Supreme Regent. Capital
/ City Council, Of Trenton, introduced a
resolution providing that all members of
/ the order be admitted as visitors to the
4 Grand Council sessions.

! Pennsylvania, who is here as deputy SUI
preme regent, to install the officers,
made lengthy and eloquent address, in
which he upheld the supreme council in
it's action in raising the rates. His re-
marks were greatly enjoyed by the sup
porters of the supreme council. and 9th
