OF all present and resolution was
passed empowering the president to APP

George e. Hamilton was selected chair

were the resultant responses, and when
the required sum was assured the prob

his signature to the Declaration of In

labored a prominent member until
its suppression in 1913. When the
clouds of the American revolution be-
