LOOP. GRANDLODGE
JACOB PEPPERMAN EXPLAINS rM- PoRTANCE OF GATHERING.
Committee Has Been Named to Raise Funds for the Gathering Which win Bring
 1000 Delegates.

Jacob Pepperman, one of the leading odd Fellows of Alabama. and for many years one of the oficers of the Grand Lodge, yesterday gave out statement emphasizing the importance to the city of the approaching session of the Grand Lodge in Montgomery.
 Mir. Pepperman's statement explains the conditions of the coming of the Grand Lodge and the work which will be done by a committee already named. Mir. Pepperman said:
 "In compliance to an invitation from the Commercial Club of Montgomery, the Grand Lodge I. o. o. F., of Ala nual session in the Masonic Temple of our city May 12, 13 and IA.
 T firmly believe that during that session of the Grand Lodge about 1000 Odd Fellows and Sister Rebekahs' will be in our city from various portions of Alabama.
 The Grand Lodge I. O. o. F. has not met in Montgomery since the year 1893. Then, the order in Alabama had seventy subordinate lodges and 3.07l members. Today the order in Alabama has 525 subordinate lodges and over 22.000 members.
 Montgomery is the home of the Grand Master and 1t is the desire of the local odd Fellows to entertain the VlSlllnR OQQ EGllOWB anu ctotCN Aso- bekahas, but are confronted with the perplexing problem of not having with in their reach the necessary means for that purpose.
 T do not mean to convey the idea that the Odd Fellows lodges of Mont. Romery have no money. By no means verily believe there is as much. fl not more, ready cash in the treasuriet | of odd Fellows subordinate lodges oi Alabama than Is in the lodges of kin | dred orders.
 "The official report of the subordin- ! ate lodges to the Grand Lodge of 1s0i | shows that then ss0,7o7 in cash was fl the treasuries of the subordinate lodges besides s110,s26.0s in investments othel than lodge regalia. This certainly. il not a bad showing of an organization | that has not connected with 1t iif' insurance feature. 4.. | However. the laws of Odd Fellow
 ship, unlike laws. of kindred orders. d | not allow lodges to use their money fol purpose other than those specihcall, named by the law, viz: To relieve dis
 widows, educate orphans and fo benevolence and charity.
 "Therefore. in view of the restrict ions named, the committees of the loca Odd Fellows' Lodges have decided t | raise the necessary means required U
 entertain the visitors through volun
 tary contribution and for that purpos
 have appointed a committee composet
 of Messrs. J. W. Smith, ". J. Maxwell
 and W. J. Proctor. who will call on ou l citizens with a view of soliciting con
 tributions, which trust will be cheer
 fully and literally given.
 "Of the $15.oo0 which will be paid t' i the visiting odd Fellows. etc, by tn Grand Lodge, fully S1o,Ooo will be spen l in our city, and of this amount ever'
 merchant will receive his share

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, March s. A largely attended meeting of the local lodge of the Order of Railway Conductors, was held this morning in their hall in the Gilman building. Considerable business was transacted during the course of the meeting but no information was given out at it's close. snr
 It is generally believed that the meeting of the conductors was held for the purpose of entering some pro test to the officials of the Southern Railway, regarding the ten per cent cut in the wages or salaries of the employees of that system. It ts said that the conductors are as dissatisled over this cut as are the engineers and the employees of the shops. r
 The engineers have made a- formal protest to the officials of the company and the difference will be arbitrated during the coming week. There is nc doubt but that the other employees of the system will be governed by the settlement reached by the engineers.
 Revival Meeting Opened.
 The first sermon of a revival meet ing was preached at the Alabama Street Presbyterian Church tonight The revival will be continued for sev- eral weeks and 1t is expected that much good will result.
 The sermon tonight was delivered by Rev. Root of Rochester, N. Y, Monday night Rev. A. A Little will preach and on Tuesday night Rev. S H. Bennett.
 Rev. J. D. Flemmings of Memphis Tenn, the we'll known evangelist will arrive on Wednesday and will take charge of the meeting. The public is most cordially invited to attend all oi the meetings.

Stockholders Of the Union Pacific
will be asked at the annual meeting
on October 13 to authorize a first lien
and refunding mortgage dated June 1,
1908, securing 5000, 900 900 bonds. of
which $l00. O00, 900 are to be reserved
for the refunding Of the first mortgage
railroad and land grant 4 per cent
bonds. OF the bonds to be secured by
this mortgage, $50, O00. 900 were recent
iy offered for sale by Kuhn, Loeb &
Co, New York. On May S, 1908, the
stockholders Of the Union Pacific au-
thorized the issue Of $780, O0, 900 bonds.
When negotiations we're started with
bankers for the sale of these bonds 1t
was found that II the mortgage was
changed so hal besides being a first
lien on 1.178 miles of main line 1t
would be refunding and the lien ex-
tended to lines covered by the first
mortgage, dated July /, 1897, but ju-
nior to the first mortgage, a better
price could be secured for the bonds.
The bonds were therefore sold under
this new arrangement and the stock
holders are nov asked to authorize a
mortgage securing them in such a way
as to fulfill the terms under which
they were sold.

BANKERS TO FORM
STATE ORGANIZATION,


Due largely to the efforts of Mr.. H.
Van Duzen of the Rock Springs Ma
tonal bank, the bankers OF Wyoming
will meet in Cheyenne within the next
few weeks in order to organize a
state association Of bankers, the need
of which haa been felt by progressive
banking men in the state for a long
time, say the Cheyenne Tribune.
Practically all of the states in the
union have bankers associations. and
the rapid development in wealth and
in the number Of banks In the state
has made it desirable that some form
Of organization be established as ear.
ly as possible. The annual convention
of the National Bankers association
will be held in Denver on the 26th Of
this month, and 1t is the expectation
to have the Wyoming meeting in
Cheyenne before that date, the time
and place of the Cheyenne meeting
not having been definitely fixed. AS
soon as the time is decided the Chey-
enne banking men will take charge
of the arrangements for a meetins
place and for appropriate entertain
ment for the visiting bankers.
