FINDS NO GROUNDS FOR SUPPORTING CLAIMS OF PRE-
TENDERS. HIGHEST COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA BASES
OPINION ON FACT THAT 18TH B. NJ c. HAVING BEEN
POSTPONED NO VALID MEETING WAS HELD MARKS
CLOSE OF TWO YEARS OF LEGAL PROCEDURE.

After more than two years of con-
slant and tedious siftings through the
turidical machinery of the State of
Pennsylvania, the pretended claims of
confederates to the offices, funds, and
property of the subcommittee of
Management of the Grand United Or
der of Odd Fellows were relegated to
the depths Of oblivion by the decision
Of the seyen judges Of the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania la for the Eastern
District, which decision was handed
down February 2S. 1921.
With the incidents leading up to the
postponement of the Eighteenth B. NJ.
c., of the conspiracy of Davis and his
accomplices (Houston, Howard, john
son. Mitchell Warner. Noel, and
others), and of the subsequent litiga-
tion begun in January, 1919, the MEM
bership of the Order and the public
generally are already familiar.
This final dicision of the court of
last resort is as follows:

Respondents.
The jury in the case brought in a
verdict for the relators.
The respondents, Morris, grand mas
ter. and his fellow officers, through
their counsel, filed a motion for a
new trial. The matter was heard be-
fore the three judges of the Court of
Common Pleas No. of Philadelphia
and on July 10. 1920, the court filed
its order saying:
we are of the opinion the verdict
in this case was against the evidence
and that a new trial should be grant
ed, but since we have this day grant
ed Judgment non obstante Yeredicto
for respondents. we are required to
dispose of the motion for new trial.
and for that reason the motion for
new trial is overruled."
The Noel adherents took an appeal
to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
which has just handed down an opin-
ion written by Mr., Justice Walling,
saying:

UNLESS Argentina shipments increase,
American producers may look for an ex-
cellent demand for wheat, Carney said.
European acreage is below prewar nor
malcy. and advices show French and
Roumanian growers are apprehensive as
the result of dry weather.
