debate OF the session of the Ancient Order
OF United WoTkmen was on today.
The question before the supreme lodge
is tho disposition Of the guaranty benefit
fund, which is one of the chief funds OF
the order. This fund, It was proposed
should be used to aid the state grand
lodges, which are weak because of the
small membership. 1t was over this poinl
that the question hung and was at issue.
The debate was brought up in the dis
cussion of the report OF supreme Master
Workman w. M. Narvis, and the avidlty
SHOWN on the convention floor by the dele
gates to handle the matter showed It to
be a question much discussed among the
members.
The Degree OF Honor Superior lodge is
awaiting the action Of the parent lodge or
the question of relation between the two
orders before they proceed further in the
work of the convention. The delegates
have a new constitution, which is to be
! adopted at this time, but the recommends.
ton that the supreme lodge of the Ancient
Order of the United workmen have nc
authority over the other body, save in it,
insurance features may in substance
change the lodge statutes.
A spirited race is on in the Degree OF
Honor for superior lady of honor, Francis

DUNKERS DODGE DRESS ISSUE
Question Indefinitely Postponed Des-
pite Number of Modern Hats
Worn by Women Present.

DIES MONIES, Ia, June 12-Striving to
maintain peace and unity in the Church
of the Brethren. the presiding elders and
members of the standing committee re-
fused yesterday to discuss the a~ll-important
question of radical changes in dress, which
has threatened to jar the foundations of the
church to the extent of causing a serious
split. Brought up in the order of new
business at the meeting of the conference
today, the question was indefinitely post
poned, scoring a distinct triumph for the
dissenting members of the sect.
The goodly sprinkling of merry widow
hats and toques and bonnets. all OF a de-
cidedly gay coloring, failed to spur the
sedate elders to a discussion of the ques-
ton and the matter was held over until the
next annual conference.
It. is predicted by younger Dunkers, and
by some of the older ones, that the passing
over of the hat question today will be fol-
lowed by the gradual disappearance of the
bonnet and the general resort by younger
people of the sect to the conventional
styles of tho non-Dunkers. This trans
formation has banished the regulation
hat, once adopted for the n men.
Instead of bringing up matters which
might cause a split in the church, there
was n BtlCIdl tllOIl NDudy ~ dlilAa
harmony even to the extent OF giving in
to the dissenters on many cherished ques-
tons Of church policy. The proposal to
make advances to the factions which have
severed themselves from the church in the
past was voted upon and an effort will be
made to bring the dissenting brethren back
to the fold. The factions, which are known
as the Older Brethren, the Conservatives
and the Progressives, will be asked to re-
unite with the main body.
Thousands of Dunkers left the grounds
before the meeting adjourned at noon. This
is the last day of the conference and al
though a few questions came up for final
disposition this afternoon, they were not
Of sufficient interest to hold the churchmen
longer away from their homes. In point
of attendance and finance this years con-
: ference has been the most successful in the
history or the church. Last Sunday, the
biggest day, more than 10000 persons were
on the grounds, an unprecedented attend
ance.
The proceeds Of the meeting, which will
be devoted to the general maintenance OF
the church and missionary work, will
reach 100000.
