NEW CITIZENS BARRED
FROM OAKLAND LODGE
Alameda EIks Have Jurisdiction
in the Annexed Territory

OAKLAND, Dec. 29.--Although Fruit
vale, Melrose, Elmhurst and Fitchburg
have become part of the municipality
of Oakland, residents of that part OF
the city can not join the Oakland
lodge of Elks. Long before the annex
alton election was held the Alameda
herd was given jurisdiction of that part
of the county, and the annexation of
the territory does not affect the fra
ternal orders situation.
This condition became known when
members of Oakland lodge began a can
vass for new Elks in the annexed dis
trict. Many businessmen in the new
territory signed applications, but all
were disappointed.
To solve the problem the Elks here
found that they would have to appeal
to Grand Exalted Ruler Sammis at Le-
mars. Iowa. Accordingly Exalted Ruler
Clarence Reed is preparing a state-
ment of the facts, which is to be sent
at once to the national head of the
order. The Oakland Elks hope to get
another; distribution of territorial juris-
diction.
