ODD FELLOWS PLAN
To MAKE THIS CITY
LODGE HEADQUARTERS
Old Fight to Transfer Grand Lodge
Offices Will Be Resumed at
Session in May
1900 DELEGATES ARE COMING
Argument Will Be Put Forth That
Harrisburg Is More Accessible
Than Philadelphia

AS the time draws near for the
ninety-first annual session of the grand
lodge of the Independent Order of
Odd Fellows, to be held here the week
of May H. intimations that there will
be a renewal of agitation to transfer
the grand lodge offices from Phila-
delphia to Harrisburg are again rife
in odd Fellows circles.
1t is said to-day that there will prob
ably be strong effort to bring the
offices to this city. and that If the
movement gathers the strength that
1t appears to be gaining. the Harris
burg Chamber of Commerce will be
asked to cooperate in s, uring a site
for the erection of building.
Such an attempt was made some
years ago, but was not successful. 1t
has grown out of the alleged difficult
ties of the management of the offices
in Philadelphia on the grounds of ex-
pense, and also the al -Vment is ad-
vanced that the offices should be To-
Gated in a city more accessible to all
parts of the State, thus economizing
! time and money of officers who have
to do business with the order. Also
it is advanced that there are more
past grands within q radius of fifty
miles of Harrisburg than in any other
section OF the State, and as these men
nave JURISDICTION Oh lIle various SCHOOLS
and homes of the Odd Fellows, that ii
would be Il great deal more convenient
for the management of affairs to have
the grand lodge Offices located in Har-
risburg.

According to some members of the
order, particularly the Philadelphia
contingent the Interpretation of the
c. Institution requires the permanent
residence OF he offices in Philadel-

is capable of q different Interpretation,

"a move to uftlaend- the eseeeHstisatian 30
as to permit of the removal of the
offices will precede the direct attack
toward getting the headquarters here.

result, Harrisburg is planning to make
