Exactly why Alfred T. Brisbin, OF the
United States cruiser Tacoma killed

cation, and after some deliberation
an agreement was reached by which
the Tri-State comes into the national
agreement subject to the Endorsement
of the National Association, which
meets in New York today, and for
which meeting delegates left immed-

ence with the National committee.
The admission of the Tri-State

that Trenton, N. j., will be represent
ed in the organization. 1t. was gen
orally agreed that if the former out
laws were given the protection of the
big body, Trenton and Wilmington
