ELKS END BIGGEST CONVENTION
IN IS YEARS, POLITICS FIZZLE OUT

,be2 turbulent peiods OF unrest,
that wa sWhat the gand lodge and
the rest of those here wanted TO
know. His report showed that Ne
gro Elkdom had come through by
the skin Of it's teeth for there was
q balance above disbursements OF
only S3,376.40 for the last year.
The figures given by Judge Hen
ry on Wednesday morning showed;
total receipts, general fund: S39,-
941.ol; educational fund; S9,493
official organ (The Eagle) fund
s5,249.37; junior Elss fund: $d62..
OF. and Shrine fund: $78.17, 4 total
Of S55,223.56. Disbursements rated
thus general fund, $3S,667O9; eeu
cationa fund, S7841.94, Official or
gan fund, $5,038.43; junior Elks,
S299 so, a total Of $5i ,847.16. This
left a balance above expenses for
the year, as against the receipts, Of
So, ,376.4O. This sum, however, :
augmented by s12,525.oa brought
over from 1898, which gives a treas
ury If sl5,ao1.43 with which the
grand lodge must be operated untl'
| 1910.
However, under the astute gen
eralship Of J. Finley himself, who
acted as chairman of the New York
entertainments committee, the grand
lodge was able to clear over Sl,nOo
from benefits and dances given nn-
der grand lodge auspices, all Of
which was turned over to the treas
ury. Thus, the grand lodge was not
in the financial red as it was some
years ago, and used this convention
as a turning point in its fight to re.
cuperate its ailing finances.
