3 F- .VI TT" l . J J- 4- Plans and Politics Keep Aeries' Inmates in a Constant Flutter ; ) ) r r CONVENTION OPENS TODAY . (Continued from Flint Page.) Tor one of the cities that la after the con fentlon for 1910 or MIL The lowering- clouds shaded tha buny worker, from the hot raya of the sun and ave them a cool day for the fight which wa. waged all day In the lobby of the Paaton hotel. Visiting delegations were tabbed as soon aa they arrived and sub jected to the buttonholing process. But politics was not the only thing thst waa doing around the hotel. The crowd larly resolved Itself Into an Informal re ception committee with the Omaha Eagles aa the prime movers and the visitors were given a hearty welcome untlnged by any flavor of partisanship. . "Hello. Bill,". "Hello, Jack." were the eaa words most used at the informal re ception. Delegates from Ban Francisco re newed acquaintanceship with members from New York begun at sumo previous conveiiy "Uon of the order. Bell Principal Flgrare. Past Grand Worthy President Theodore A- Bell of San Francisco was the principal figure In the lobby during the morning. Mr. Bell, whose reputation is national in democratic politics, reached Omaha late Sunday night and was early mixing with the leaders of the order, most of whom he called by their first names. Mr. Bell nat urally was much Interested In the move ment for state autonomy which will be one C the most Important propositions to come Vefore the convention. "I expect to see a change in the direction af state autonomy aj this session of the convention," , he said, but anything like tull autonomy win not be adopted this fear or next year. In my opinion. "The order is growing and as It Increases fcl else tt will gradually work Into some uch a system, but the time is not yet ripe tor the adoption of the plan. I am not enough of a prophet to predict when the shange will come, but it wilt not be at the present session." Mr. Bell was early working at his hobby r Doosting ror the order in general. Ea peclally emphatic was he when combatting die Idea which he says prevails at some points that the Eagles Is an order with tow Ideals. Omaha Will Be Frond. "After Omaha has finished entertaining this convention," he declared, "It will be proud of the fact It had the gathering here. Any city may deem It a privilege to entertain the Eagles. When I was occupy ing the president's office I made' it a par ticular point to de all I could to overcome the prejudice that haa grown up against the order at some places due to Ignorance of Its true purpose. 'If I have money and by spending It freely build up an aristocratic society for wealthy men, of course. I could have peo ple. lowing and .scraping, before the order. But because we have here an organization for people who work for wages, many of them getting barely enough to support their families and because in the order there are . some bartenders and saloon keepers, about I or 4 per cent of the whole membership, some people are Inclined to get out the hammers and knock. "I have been at the head of this order and In this position have traveled over the entire country and have come In contact with the rank and file of the order and I know Its spirit and the temperament of Its members, and I want to say It Is one of the grandest orders In existence. It Is not, as some seem to believe, a society formed for ribald pleasure. It pays doctor bills and sick benefits and It gives to the stricken ' widow money for funeral bene fits. It takes care of members when they need to be taken care of. It la organised for the rank and file who need its help, and I want to say it Is today doing the noblest work of any fraternal society of lit kind." Jadlclary Committee at Work. The Judiciary committee Is hard at work on the report on new legislation and will be ready to report to the convention In a day" or two. . It la now pretty definitely known that anything like state autonomy will not be adopted or even considered very seriously by the convention. Those In a position to know say It would be outvoted 10 to L However, It Is understood the committee will have a plan looking to a state organ lsatlon largely for social purposes and this It Is believed will go through. The plan Is to allow meetings of the state organisation at such times aa the aeries may. desire. A form of organization will be kept up, but the present method of local aerie repre sentation will be maintained. The Judiciary committee Is also wrestling with two other problems which are made Important by the rapid growth of the order. The , business of the fraternity has grown so large that It Is found necessary to adopt new business methods In order to put it on a more substantial business basts. Heretofore local lodges have kept their accounts as they pleased. The committee will present a plan of uniform bookkeep ing. The committee will also report a plan for the classification of lodges according to their ability to pay sick benefits. Each Inripe heretofore haa paid whatever It please, Plant for Next Meeting. The fight for the next convention began to grow warm Monday, though alPthe con testing cities were not represented. St. Louis telegraphed to the headquarters that It would be here Tuesday primed and loaded, to take the convention away with It. Cleveland Is also in the scrap hard and Scranton, St. Paul and Spokane are out for the honor. The arrival of ISO delegates from aerie No. 5 of San Francisco with golden badges announcing they were going to take the convention to the coast city In 1911 in jected considerable ginger Into the situa tion. The Friscoltes Immediately opened up headquarters at 1408 Howard street and began shaking hands before their big spe cial train came to a dead stop at the depot. As the 1911 convention city will not be selected until next year all they can do this year Is to mix the potions ,a llttletn advance. In the meantime Callfornlans are all out working tooth and nail for John 8. Parry for grand worthy vice president. The big gold bagdes almost as large as streamers were very much In evidence around the Paxton lobby and showed the coast dele gates were getting In their work. More spice was added to the scrap for the 1911 convention by the arrival of fif teen delegates from Buffalo, who announced without waiting to be asked that they were here to whoop it up for the New York city for the big meet two years hence. To prove It they displayed bright red badges with the picture of a great American bison at the top and "Buffalo," 1911," printed in large black letters cov ering the rest of the ribbon. "Seattle had It last year and Omaha this year. It's time It came east," said Ernest W, Mclntyre, past worthy president, who is in the van of the fight for Buffalo. "Besides, It's cool In Buffalo and when the delegates have nothing else to do they can look at the big falls." The Buffalo delegates are offering a candidate tor trustee in the person of C. E. McDonald, present grand worthy conduc tor. Over 200 Eagles were on the special train containing the New York delegates. The arrival of the train added visibly to the supply of Grady boosters and some of the delegates . predicted that when the show down came Grady would be elected by ac clamation without opposition. The chances of the silver-tongued orator of Tammany halt were considered to be the best of any of the trio of candidates. Among the New Yorkers were Oliver J. Morse and Ernest W. Mclntyre, both of buffalo and both past worthy presidents of the order. Cincinnati sent a wire that Its train would be In from St. Louis Tuesday after noon at 5:50 o'clock over the Missouri Pa cific and with their arrival the Cllne forces will receive many recruits. The work of providing rooms for the thousands of visitors Is going on at the Fourteenth street entrance of the Audl torim. The . committee In charge has- a large force at work and although the de mands for accommodations were heavy the people In the residence districts have come forward with offers of rooms and It Is believed enough will be had for all. South Insists on Getting in Official Family Dixie Threatens to Secede Unless it Gets Representation Among; Eagles that Rale. "The south wants representation and will Insist upon It or some of the south might consider seceding." In this language Edward R. Fuller of Dixie aerie 3.B of Richmond and deputy grand president for the state of Virginia, lays down the law to the northern delega tions, together with the Information If the north does not want another civil war this time with the secret ranks of the Eagles rt cognition must be given to the Imid beyond the Mason and Dixon line. "We In the south have never been recog nized, though the Eagles are as strong In Dlxlo as In the north. What we want Is some grand office, what office we do not much care "Just so it Is one of the grand offices. As far as next year's convention we are for the east." E. W. Camp of Knoxville, deputy grand president for the state 'Of Tennessee, and P. J. Geoghegan of New Orleans, back up Mr. Fuller In his battle for the south and say there will be a pretty fight if the south Is not given something this year. Louisiana will send 400 delegates to do battle for southern representation and for New Or leans for the convention of 191. Mr. Camp, the deputy president for Ten nessee, said he heard about the 8 o'clock closing law in Nebraska and so brought along a quantity of moonshine whisky to be prepared for any emergency. "Tennessee is a prohibition state, but there is more drinking now than ever be fore," tald Mr. Camp. "If a street car should strike a pedestrian he would not die from Injuries received in the accident, but he would be in danger of drowning in the whisky carried In every pocket." v through here as early as 18T and from then down to fifteen or sixteen years ago. There has been a great change In the theatrical business here In Omaha since those old days." Mr. Leavltt Is one of the three original founders who are at the convention. The others are Jack Thompson and John W. Consldlne, the theatrical man, both of Seattle. The story of how these three with four others got together back In Seattle, Majr 30, 1898, and founded the order which has since grown to over tOO.000 members Is well known to loyal eagles.

Sunderland San Francisco boosters arrived happy In spite of the attempts of the elements to convert them into living welsh rarebits. The first streak of bad luck their spe cial train ran into was In the Mojave desert, where the sun in its balmiest mo ments ordinarily develops heat enough to blister the head of a billy owl. The train ran in behind a wreck and was held up In the hottest part of the desert for six hours while the delegates speculated how long it would take to roast them clear through. The splintered cars were finally cleared up and the train ran on Into Ari zona. Then It began to rain, as It can only on the southwest deserts. Water came down In bucketfula and,' alternately soaked by the rain and blistered by the sun. the dele gates finally reached the promised land of Kansas. Here"they were overtaken by more rain and a. washout atopped the train for a few hours longer. Finally they reached Kansas City, where they were royally entertained by the local Eagles. On the train waa David Cramer, dis trict deputy, and James Duffey. representa tive of the Santa Fe, and Mrs. Duffey. Past Worthy President Charles F. Ken- neauy or the San Francisco aerie had preceded them to get the headquarters for California In shape before the opening of the convention.

As early at 1878 Mr. Leavitt brought theatrical companies to Omaha which was then little more than a kerosene circuit town as far as legitimate went "I well remember of the old Academy of Music where some of my companies played," said Mr. Leavitt "I used to come r J SOLID GOLD SILVER For the Best Ear of Corn To be Known as the. -ZCVtiii National Corn Trophy To b Aw&rdd at the National Corn Exposition, Omaha, (8)v award December 6 to 18, 1909. WILL THEY SISO HOW DRY I AMI Mayor and City Connellmen May Ride on Water Waons In Parade. Mayor Dahlmao and the twelve members of the city council will. ride in the Eagles' parade Thursday afternoon. If they have to climb on top of the street flushers. The council voted ;, yesterday afternoon to take part In theipaxade. the cost of carriages to be berne by the individual members. It Is understood that most avail able vehicles have already been engaged and Councilman Bridges said that If this was the case he waa Id favor of using he street flushers which have not been over worked. The council men accepted the Eagles' Invitation to occupy seats on the stage at the opening session of the convention this morning. KNIGHTS COLITMBI'S ENTERTAIN Vlsltlngr Eagles Will Be Made Wei. come at Smoker Tonight. Local Knights of Columbus have ar ranged to entertain visiting knights in at tendance upon the Eagles' convention at a smoker following the regular lodge meet ing this evening, the smoker to be given In the lodge rooms In the Board of Trade building. A program ' has been arranged and preparations made for a large attendance. Poor Judson Longs for Wife As Chairman of Entertainment Com mittee He is Swamped with In quiries by the Fair Ones. F. W. Judson Is not singing "Hooray" because his wife has gone to the country. Far from It Instead he Is thinking of wiring for her to hurry back from a Min nesota lake to Omaha. He would, too, if Mrs. Judson were not a hay fever victim. Mr. Judson Is chairman of the reception committee of Eagles' convention week and as such had made highly satisfactory ar rangements so far as the men are con cerned. But Monday he was confronted with the awesome fact that there are oth ersand quite important others. There are several hundred feminine visitors to be taken care of. and while Mr. Judson Is not bashful, yet the thought of a mere man with several hundred women to re ceive Is embarrassing. 'Where ought I to go to find a first-class hairdresser, Mr. Judson?" "Which Is the best manicure shop In town?" "Are we going to wear low-necked gowns to that card party?" "Have you seen Mrs. ?" There Is a local committee of women now taking care of and receiving the feminine visitors, but at first it would be a little terrifying to anyone, would It not? Perhaps It ought to be stated that Mr. Judson would not be singing "hooray" as mentioned, even if he had nothing to do with Eagles and Eaglesses. are here from the Panamerlcan city, boost ing for him. F. J. Lynch of New Westminster, Can ada, traveled 1600 miles In order to get to the convention. He said he had heard so much about the geographical center that he had to see it HERIMO A FOOT BALL PLAYER Vice President and Egaleman from Fort Wayne on Same Team. John W. Eggleman, a delegate from Fort Wayne to the Eagles' aerlc. Is a personal friend of Vice President Herlng of South Bend, Ind., and of Louis Nash of Omaha. He Is a college chum of both, and while he is in the city he is spending a great deal of time In visiting them. Mr. Eggleman and Mr. Herlng are stopping at the Pax ton, and In their spare moments the two Hooslers are hobnobbing in their rooms and In the lobby of the hotel. Mr. Eggleman Is a former Notre Dame foot ball player. He was on the eleven at the Hoosler college, playing center at the same time young Herlng was running the team from the quarterback position. He made a remarkably fine center, for, at that time, he weighed just- 230 pounds. He now tips the scales at 270. Vice President Herlng is enthusiastic about his college chum, and likes to tell his other friends about the days they spent on the gridiron. "I wish you could have seen John In one game we played on Thanksgiving day," said Vice President Herlng at tha Pax ton. "He was pitted against a fellow who weighed about 150 pounds. Of course his opponent waa no match for John, who made things ridiculous Instead of using the same plays against the oenter that he usually employed, he simply stood erect In the scrimmages and brought the flat of his hands down on the back of the center. This force always toppled the other fellow over and John simply walked right through the line and stopped all kinds of plays. That center' was so Ir rltated by the slapping that he nearly went out of the game, the pleadings of his coach being the only thing that kept htm In." John Eggleman Is a brother of Fred W. Eggleman, who Is captain of the Purdue foot ball team for this season. LIXCOI.X CABl.

As well as can be Judged there will be about 000 to WO feminine visitors at the convention. A good many of them are married, but Mrs. Mann Is authority for the statement that there will be daughters and sisters of Eagle, as well as wives; "and a good many bachelor. are here, too," she added. "There Is an occasional romance which develop, from the conventions." There will be considerable doing for the women visitors during the week.

I Half Minute Store Talk In speaking of the general advance In prices of commodities, the Omaha World-Herald of Sept. 6th said among other things In an edi torial that a man has to pay two or three dollars more for a suit of clothes now than he did a short time ago. Generally speaking, that Is correct, but the writer should have qualified, the assertion by adding unless he buys his suit at KIng-Swanson Co." A very noticeable fact, and one that causes considerable comment is, that our prices this fall show no evidence of advancement. Our decision in January to buy fabrics for this fall's clothes was a master stroke both for our patrons and for ourselves.
