convention hall by her attorney, Jer-
eniah O'Leary, and cat calls greeted
her. and as she went to the platform
and tried to seize the gaveI from Ad-
am Brown, past chief companion, who
organized the order twenty-six years
ago, bedIam let loose. Miss Corcoran
tried to read a paper saying the con-
vention was illegal, but Mr.. Brown
would not allow it. and she threw it
into the lap of Mrs. Annie E. Poth,
supreme financial secretary.
When Miss Corcoran found she
could not WELD the gave1 she retired
from the hall and the motion to expeI
