AUSTIN, Tex, l7-Governor

sion of the legislature this morning.
The hour set for convcning N 10
o'clock, August II, ten hours after
the legislature adjourned sine die.
The governor submitted but one
subject, to provide funds for the
maintenance Of state institutions.
Failure Of the legislature TO agree
on the appropriation bill for educa-
tiona institutions necessitated the
call. Although he submitted but one
schedule. the governor included IN

Assistant Attorney General Keel
ing participated in the conference
between the governor and the heads
of the University and the A. and Nj.
college today.
Although number Of legislators
departed for their homes last night
and early today. it is thought there
will be a quorum in both branches.
With but few exceptions the re-
presentatives spent the greater
part of yesterday in preparing to de-
part. Books and records were pre-
pared for mailing and the railroad
offices were flooded with reserva-
ton requests. The house itself had
even made preparations to depart
thinking the report undoubtedly
would be adopted.
A resolution authorizing the chief
clerk and the sergeant at arms TO re-
main over several days and clean up
odds and ends was adopted Postoffice
KEYS anu desk keys were returned.
Then when the vote was taken at
1870 o'clock last night sudden
stiffness prevailed in the house. But
il lasted only a minute and oppon-
ents Of the conference report began
cheering.
After the legislature adjourned the
governor talked 20 legislators and
newspapermar in his office. IL was
annarcr.- the chief executive was not
p,cased with the situation and dread
ed calling another session. However
upon beiLa pressed he told those
present hat they had better not go
home rs they would have to come
back snon.

ODD FELLOWS TO OBSERVE 102D
 ANNIVERSARY
Appropriate Ceremonies To Be Held This Evening
 By Bisbee Lodge

Celebration or tine 102nd anniyer- sary or the foundation, in the United States. of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows will be eSheid this even ing by the local lodge Of l. c. O. F. at their home on Subway street. On April 26 the order attained the ven erable age of 102 years and through. out the country. during the current week. the order has been celebrating it's birthday.
 The order was originally instituted in Baltimore, Maryland, on April 2t. 1919. It secured charter from the English order of Majesty Unity. Among the founders ;n this country were Thomas Wildey Richard Chea- tham and John Ridley. The order continued for few years as branch of Majesty Unity but soon took on an Independent character and has been known as the Independ ent Order of Odd Fellows since that time. It is interesting to note that the Odd Fellows order was the first. following hostilities between the states, in 1865, to resume relations.
 Property owned by the order is valued. at the present time, at about eighty millions of dollars The order operates sixty-seven homes for or phans and aged and infirm members of the order. Ground has been brok- en n Stafford, Graham country. for a' home in the state Of Arizona. It distributes, annually, about $7,000,000 m relief to its members. Member ship in the order totals approximate ly 2.300,000. Lodges are to be found in the continental and territorial pos sessions Of the United States, in Can ada. Cuba, Germany, Denmark, Switz erland, Australia and New Zealand.
 The Odd Fellows claim the dis tinction of being the first fraternal order to be established in Bisbee. 1 Th's occurred in July of 1SSS Nji,- liam Hughes still a resident of the city. was the first noble grand, and J. G. Pritchard. long a well known citizen of the community and now residing in Southern California, was the first secretary. The new build | ingi of the l. O. O. F. was erected in l 1918 and constitutes one of the at | tractive structures of the city.
