Omaha daily bee., 1909-09-14

anything like state autonomy win not be
adopted or even considered very seriously
by the convention. Those in a position to
know say it would be outvoted 20 to l.
However, It is understood the committee
will have a plan looking to a state organ
~ization largely for social purposes and this
It is believed will go through. The plan Is
to allow meetings Of the state organization
at such times as the aeries may desire. A
form Of organization will be kept up, but
the present method Of local aerie repre-
sentation will be maintained.
The judiciary committee is also wrestling
with two other problems which are made
important by the rapid growth Of the
order. The business Of the fraternity has
grown so large that IL Is found necessary
to adopt new business methods in order to
put il on a more substantial business basis.
Heretofore local lodges have kept their
accounts as they pleased. The committee
will present a plan Of uniform bookkeep-
Ing.
The committee will also report a plan
for the classification of lodges according
to their ability to pay sick benefits. Each
lodge heretofore has paid whatever It
please.
Fight for Next Meeting.
The fight for the next convention began
to grow warm Monday, though alTNthe con-
testing cities were not represented. st.
Louis telegraphed to the headquarters that
It would be here Tuesday primed and
loaded, to take the convention away with
Il. Cleveland Is also in the scrap hard and
Scranton, st. Paul and Spokane are out
for the honor.
The arrival OF $50 delegates from aerie
No. 8 of San Francisco with golden badges
announcing they were going to take the
convention to the coast city I'm 1911 in
jected considerable ginger into the situa-
ton. The Friscoites Immediately opened
up headquarters at 14OS Howard street and
began shaking hands before their big spe-
cial train came to a dead stop at the depot.
As the 1911 convention city will not be
selected until next year all they can do
this year is to mix the potions a little IN
advance.
In the meantime Californians are all out
working tooth and nail for John S. Parry
for grand worthy vice president. The big
gold bagdes almost as large as streamers
were very much in evidence around the
Paxton lobby and showed the coast dele
gates were getting i'm their work.
More spice was added to the scrap for
the 1911 convention by the arrival of fiji
teen delegates from Buffalo, who announced
without waiting to be asked that they
were here to whoop It up for the New
York city for the big meet two years
hence. To prove It they displayed bright
red badges with the picture of a great
American bison at the top and Buffalo,
1911" printed in large black letters COW
ering the rest Of the ribbon.
Seattle had 1t last year and Omaha this
year. It's time it came east" said Ernest
w, Mcintyre. past worthy president, who
is in the van of the fight for Buffalo.
Besides, it's cool in Buffalo and when the
delegates have nothing else to do they can
look at the big falls"
The Buffalo delegates are offering a
candidate for trustee in the person of C. e.
Mcdonald, present grand worthy conduc-
tor.
over 200 Eagles were on the special train
containing the New York delegates. The
arrival OF the train added visibly to the
supply of Grady boosters and some of the
delegates predicted that when the show
down came Grady would be elected by ac-
clamation without opposition. The chances
OF the silver-tongued orator of Tammany
hall were considered to be the best of any
of the trio Of candidates. ~
Among the New Workers were Oliver ].
Morse and Ernest w. Mcintyre, both of
Buffalo and both past worthy presidents OF
the order.
Cincinnati sent a wire that its train
would be in from st. Louis Tuesday after
noon at $50 o'clock over the Missouri Pa
cific and with their arrival the Cline forces
will receive many recruits.
The work of providing rooms for the
thousands Of visitors is going on at the
Fourteenth street entrance OF the Audi
torlm. The mi In charge has, a
large force at work and although the de-
mands for accommodations were heavy
the people in the residence districts have
come forward with offers OF rooms and it
is believed enough will be had for all.
