sociation In order to protect the office
OF president by giving him power TO
control 1t and TO hold the officers un-
der him In some form OF subjection.
If this were not done, he said. chaos
would prevail and the power for good
of the organization would be lost
Explanations on the part of the
two officers were forthcoming In the
heated debate, which were to the ef.
, feet that the trouble. after all, arose
through a misunderstanding OF each
other. and that both were willing TO
make amends, II 1t were deemed ne
cessary. Both Mr.. Gooding and Mr.
Walker advised the convention that
! they did not care to serve the asso-
citation IL IL would bring about dis
cord. and that they thought the ap-
pie of discord had been thrown into
the convention inadvertently and was
! not of enough moment TO qulbble over
The amendments were nnally adopt
ed with some notifications. one of
them being that the selection OF the
secretary should be by the executive
! committee, consisting of seven per
sons, rather than five. This was
considered a victory for Walker. but
the greatest victory for him was in
the adoption of a resolution to the ef-
feet that the executive committee
should select Mr. Walker as the sec
retary Immediately after the ad-
journment of the convention the com
mittee met and selected Mr.. Walker
as treasurer.

and pleasure arranged by the enter
tainment committee. Thereafter par
ties. dancing. boxing contests and
many other forms of amusement were
the order of the evening and. so great
was the joy, the small hours dawned
before all had retired. Many of the
delegates left the city Saturday even

their homes and the urgent necessity
for them 90 get back TO their 1ocks

OF all the club rooms of the town to
the visitors, and the rendition of APP
propriate programs The Weber and
the Elks' club rooms were crowded
to overlooking during the entire even

in both places.

committee until Saturday night. OF

ing the oyercharges refunded
The convention has cost something
IN the nelghborhood of $4,000. and 1t
is estimated that fully 100000 were
spent in the city by the visitors. So
