BY John w. Blackwell

WASHINGTON, d. C.. August a.
What will go down as the liveliest
and most controversial session in the
history of EIkdom will be held in
Baltimore, Maryland, August 2I to
2S, when the 1. B. p. o. e. of w.
meets for its annual conclave.
Indications are that delegates to
the Convention will attempt once
and for all to settle, by one means Oh
other, the long smouldering resent
ment over the administration Of the
Order. The contention seems to be,
observers point out, over the manner
in which the affairs Of the order have
been managed in recent years under
an almost self-appointed leadership.
The rising tide Of dissatisfaction
was made evident some months ago
when members of the organization
received copy of the organization
Bylaws and Constitution, showing,
among other things, that the book
not only contained the set Of regula-
tions adopted at Cleveland last year,
but also multitude Of vitally inn
portant amendments which neither
delegates nor lay members knew
anything about.
The inference drawn i'm Capital
circles was that ]. Finley Wilson.
Grand Exalted Ruler, and his friend
ly board of strategy had sat down
and had drawn set Of rules primar-
lily intended to stem any open revolt
at the forthcoming session, and to
hamstring the activities Of Attorney
A. H. Collins, of Alexandria, Va,
president of the Virginia Elks' As
sociation
Collins. it is known, has for some
time shown great disappointment
and displeasure over the general
state Of things and has bitterly crit
icized the administration, as a re-
suit of which he was tried and
convicted by the Grand Lodge and
fined $50 with the alternative of
apologizing to the Grand Lodge.
Although Collins is known to have
violated no law or rules Of the
order throughout the country so as
to bring about some solution in the
interest of Elkdoni, he was not only
fined but later suspended for what
officers of the Grand Lodge said was
an attempt on his part to "create
sedition and revolt within the Or
der" Collins not only refused to
pay the fine but also to apologize
and was backed in his stand by q
great majority of Virginia lodges,
all of which are now leading the
fight for revamping of the Grand
Lodge.
Significant is the fact, some have
pointed out, that altho the IBP0E|
of w has been operating in practi-
cally all the stats of the Union and
some of the American possessions,

TACTICS OF ]. FINLEY WILSON

az WeH as canada, tor over quar- :
ter of century, in the recent con.
troversy in Virginia is was disclosa
that the Grand Lodge was not lie
eaily qualified to operate in that
State. From this it must be as
sumed that it is not legally qualified
to operate in any other State.
Another question that has for
some time irked the rank and file
OF Elks is that, altho every member
Is enioined to pay Grand Lodge
tax, there is actually no Grand
Lodge in existance, that is, materi-
ally speaking, as there are no build
ings and no grounds to maintain.
In fact, the only Offices maintained
by the Grand Lodge is small space
in the Office Of William Hueston,
grand commissioner of education,
who also edits the organizations
organ "The Eagle" and Wilson's own
home. He charges S35 monthly for
the lodges use of room in his
house. For this he received over
$5, 900.
As things look now, most Of the
convention time will be consumed in
political matters" matters con
cerning the internal policies of the
Grand Lodge, and in explanations to
the assembled delegates as to why
the Constitution and BY laws have
been altered of s'loaded" to suit the
convenience of the Grand Lodge
officers.
Wilson's crucial test will come
when from 18 to 20 Virginia lodges,
all of which are supporting Collins,
will demand new restatemcnt of
their constitutional perorgatives.
They will make last minute stand
in behalf Of Collins and no doubt
will ask point blank of the Grand
Exalted Ruler s'how come" the book
of rules has been altered, and for
what
It was also shown during the vir-
ginia controversy that there are sew
eral other states contemplating
some action in the matter OF what
they will call 'highhanded'' Grand
Lodge policies and in the manner
conventions have been managed in
the past.
o9en resentment was shown at
both The Brooklyn and Clev.. and
conventions ever the steam roller
tactics Of the Grand Exalted Ruler
and his iri.srds in the cabinet. This
feeling, coupled with long list OF
grievances, is said to indicate the
beginning of the end fer the present
personnel of the Grand Lodge, and
possibly a rebirth Of fast declining
Elkdom. The paid membership at
present is said to be about from 12
to 15 thousands, just about frac-
ton Of what it is claimed to be by
Grand Lodge records.

HYDE PARK, n. Y, June 21.--
(UP)-President Roosevelt last
night signed SO bills passed in the
closing hours of congress but We
toed seven others, including two
which would have increased the
nations tax burden.
The bulk of the approved mea-
sures were minor claim bills, au-
thorizations of various kinds, and
amendments to existing laws. The
vetoes embraced increased pen
sions for certain classifiCations of
veterans and exemptions of two
proposed bridge bond issues from
all taxation.
MIR. Roosevelt spent most of
Monday acting on the bills he in
herited when congress went home
last week. There still remain doz-
ems more awaiting Ok. or disap-

INVESTIGATION
FAILS TO SHOW
CRASH'S CAUSE
Flight Officers Come Here
From Atlanta to Make
Inquiry

No cause was assigned for the
wreck of the army training plane
at the Hendersonvilla Asheville
airport at Fletcher last Sunday in
which Lieut.. S. V. Stephenson, OF
Chanute Field, and DR.. David M
Buck, of Asheville, plummeted to
their deaths after the completion
of an official investigation Mon
day by: Major John B. Patrick,
commander of the air corps de-
tachment at Gambler Field, At
lanta, and Colonel w. P. Hayes
Fourth Corps Area air comman-
der.
Their investigation of the &C
cident was informal, and the only
definite conclusion was that moth
ing was disclosed to show that
the crash was caused by any de-
feet in the plane. Major Patrick,
who made the statement, said that
the condition of the wreckage was
such that little could be learned
from an examination of it.
Saying that he AMI Col. Hayes
had been unable to determine the
cause of the crash because the
ship was practically demolished
Major Patrick ventured the opln.
ion that Lieut.. Stephenson could
have lost control of the plane
when it fell off on one wing dur
ing a bank and turn. Such ma
neuver would cause a ship to lose
flying speed and go into a spin,
he said.
The plane crashed with terrific
force. The engine was buried IN
the soft dirt of the field, a short
distance southwest of the hangar
the wheels were cracked, the two
cockpits were crumpled, and the
wings were partially crushed.
Witnesses at the field said the
plane apparently went into a SPIN
at around 1000 feet, and that
Lieut.. Stephenson righted it fol
an instant, and that it then re-
sumed the spin.
The body of Lieut.. Stephenson
was sent from Asheville at
o'clock this afternoon to Dallas
Tex, and will arrive there at 1885
O'Clock tomorrow night. 1t was
accompanied by an army air OF
ficer from Chanute Field who 1leW

be held there.
Funeral services for DR.. BucF
were held at 3 o'clock this after
noon at the residence of his par
ents in Bald Mountain. ;.
The wreckage of the ship was
dragged from the scene of TIT
crash to the air field proper yes
terday and after being broken W
most of it was loaded on an arm!
truck and taken to Atlanta. Col
HAYES and Major Patrick return
cd to Atlanta by automobile.
"The ship was what we call !

as the BT9C. We haven't had an!
