SUPREME FOREST
MEETS In MEMPHIS
Nebraska Supreme Court Rules
in Favor Of Mrs. Man.
chester in Contest.
ONE MATTER PENDING
(From a STAFF Correspondent

(From a STAFF Correspondent
Lincoln, Feb. 24.-(Special. 1.-The
Nebraska supreme court today denied
to the executive council OF the ST.
preme Forest, Woodmen Circle, the
right to apply for an injunction 10
prevent Mrs. Emma B. Manchester,
supreme guardian, from calling a
meeting of the order in Memphis,
Tenn, March p.
The denial was made on the oral
application OF 7. J. Mahoney Of Oma-
ha. attorney for the majority Of the
committee.
The majority, according to the
story, had asked the supreme guard
ian to call meeting Of the council
March %. They wanted 1t in,Omaha,
where records would be convenient
and witnesses and employees would be
available to take up impeachment
charges against Mrs. Manchester.
They declare that Mrs. Manchester
is proceeding to call the meeting in
memphis, Where the cost OF transports
ing the records and witnesses would
be excessive, and the bulk of the rec
ords would be burdensome and un-
wieldly, with the chance Of losing i'm
portant documents.
The fight is only a continuation Of
the clash between Mrs. Manchester,
who has been head Of the order, and
the seven majority members Of the
council, which numbers thirteen.
At the present time there is out
standing an injunction by the supreme
court to prevent the majority council
from interfering with Mrs. Manches-
ter in her supervision Of field workers
for the order.
On the ground that impeachment
proceedings constituted a violation of
the order, Mrs. Manchester filed a
motion early this week in the supreme
court asking that the council be cited
for contempt Of court. The hearing
on the motion has been held, but the
court has not announced its decision.

tatoes were from Idaho and valued

The cashier of a moving picture
show accepted three of them for a
ticket. A street car conductor de-
clined them as fare, but the CONVEX.
sation attracted the attention Of a
passenger, who offered to buy the
whole supply at the rate OF two
for a nickel.
A taxicab chauffeur accepted six
for a ride of two blocks. IF the
company won't accept them, I'll
pay the fare and take them home
myself" he explained. At a five
and ten-cent store, the reporter
bought two diamonds" and pic
