WOODMFN NEAR
RIOT IN TOLEDO
Police Called when Insurgents and
Regulars Shout for Hours
REFUSE AN OFFER TO ADJOURN
Head Consul Talbot Announces
Credentials Committees Re
port Not Ready-Meet-
Ing In Confusion

Toledo, June 1s.-The first ac'
tual skirmish and a near-riot be-
tween administration and insurgent
factions OF the Modern Woodmen OF
America that provoked a call for po-
lice and threatened to disrupt the
convention took place.
Though confusion prevailed for
more than two hours and delegates
spectators and convention hall fur
nishings all we're roughly handled,
no one was seriously hurt and the
encounter ended with both sides &C.
cupying original positions.
The trouble started when Head
Consul Talbot announced that be-
cause the credentials committee was
not ready to report on delegates to
be seated the convention could not
proceed and adjourned until Thurs
day morning. Talbot put the ques-
ton with the result that an unroar-
ious response OF Noes" defeated
the endeavor. After explaining that
the convention could not transact
business until delegates eligible to
participate were designated by the
credentials committee, Talbot de-
clared the meeting adjourned.
Immediately chairs. tables, speak
ers' stand and the piano were occu-
pied by shouting professors. Several
encounters between regulars and
insurgents took place.
When the delegates refused to
leave the hall and both administra-
ton and insurgent leaders were de-
termined to speak in the face OF
continuous turmoil, a band entered
the contest of din and disorder,
playing This is the Life" and ex-
ira police responded to the call sent
in by regulars. From 9:O5 to IL q.
m. the band played the same tune,
while regular and insurgent leaders
shouted.
At II o'clock the band was
quelled and Past Head Consul W. A.
Northcott Of Springfield, ILL.,, urged
insurgents to leave the hall and re-
assured them that they would get a
Square deaI'' in the convention.
The convention then adjourned
and the committee on credentials
resumed its sessions.
Completion of the competitive
,batallions among the forty-ffve teams
of the Army of Foresters, Modern
Woodmen of America, was announc-
ed by General John H. Mitchell. To-
Iedo battalion No. I carried away
the honors in the battalion drill.
Camp No. 6 of Rock Island, H.,
won the senior prize Of $3.50 for
the best drilled team Of Is men. In
the pony class, restricted to nine
men, Camp No. 443 Of Appleton
won the purse of SITS. The Rock
Island camp scored s9-42 per cent,
which breaks all records for mill
tary branches of a fraternal organ
ization.

The increase in the numbers con
