ernoon, materially hindered the bust
ness Of the first executive session Of
the grand lodge of Eagles, which was
called to order for the first time. Be
cause Of the heat the meeting was
merely a formal one, for the appoint
ment OF committees and other routine
business.
Up to noon today about eighty dele
gates had registered at the local aerie.
Included in these are eight Of the
most important Of the state officers.
When the opening business meeting
was called to order Monday afternoon
the delegates were welcomed by
Worthy President D. s. Good and
Mayor o. L. Ingledue. District Deputy
Grand President Fred C. Naeve. Of
Davenport, responded on the behalf Of
the delegates.
President M. J. Dyer. Of Clinton, then
appointed committees on credentials,
resolutions and grievances and appeals,
and the meeting was adjourned.
Social Meeting Last Night.
The delegates and the members Of
the local aerie were entertained at a
smoker in the lodge rooms Of the aerie
last night. About 200 attended. A
number of short talks were made, but
the entire affair was very informal.
Music dur1ng the evening was fur
nished by the Eagles quartet and the
Des Moines quartet, which came with
the Des Moines delegates.
This Afternoons Session.
This afternoons session was also
credentials committee and short talks
and discussion on various phases in
cluded under the general head of the
good Of the order.
Because there was no business meet
ing, as had been planned Monday fore
noon, and because yesterday after
moons meeting was hindered and cut
short because Of the heat, it was given
out at the meeting Of trustees this
morning that the election of officers
and the selection OF the next meeting
place would not be taken up until at
an extra business meeting, to be held
Wednesday forenoon. A business meet
ing at this time was not originally
planned, but has been made necessary
by the turn affairs have taken.
Davenport Slated for Next Meeting.
1t was the talk around headquarters
this morning that Davenport would in
all probability, secure the 1909 meet
ing, altho Waterloo and Clinton are
both working for 1t. Davenport has
the largest delegation present, and it
is exerting every effort to secure votes
to take the grand lodge to that city
next year.
