Tho delegates discussed the matter un-
tn a late hour at their hotels last night
and the frldnds of the rival candifliles'
were at it again bright and early this
morning. The convention was formal-
ly opened with an address of welcome
by Mayor Samuel llassctt after which
the doors wetc closed and the regular
business of the convention was begun
George W. Randall, grand (hle
ranger. delivered the first of the for-
mal reports, reviewing the work of the
grand court during the past two years.
and summarising his olilclal acts and
decisions. lie said in part: "While
our Order may with pride boast of a
large membership in this Jurisdiction.
it is safe to say that our work has
hardly begun. Out of 100 000 males
eligible to membership only one- fifth
of that numbet are on its rolls. Let
this be an lntcntlw to ivory brothel
of our order to go to work with re
nowed interest."
After referring to the harmonious
relations which have existed among
the members of the present executive
council. Mr. Rundull touched on the.
membership and llnanclal condition,
saying that the report of the grand
secretary and grdnd' treasurer showed
that substantial gains had been made.
There are at present 146 courts in this
jurisdiction with a membership of 18.—

years. The total amount of funds in

Eleven courts baVe been instituted
since the last meeting of the grand
coitrt. Only one court has been lost,
and that through amalgamation. As
a.whole the courts are in a remark-
ably good numerical and financial cou-
ditlon.
The number of preclusions f0i fail-
me to pay dues is still very large and
is u standing menace to our order. i
do not wish to be understood an ink-
ing'a pessimcstlc view of the matter.

character would materially assist in

' The grand chief ranger continued
his address by a, strong plea. for an
increase in onsets“ salaries. He re-
mmtbended that the grand secretary‘s
salary be raised from $950 to 81.200 a
