lodge of Indiana to confer the grand
lodge and past officers' degrees.
Charles W. Fairbanks delivered the ad
dress of welcome on behalf of Indiana,
which was responded to by Grand 6lre
John B. Coekrum.
In his report concerning the condition
of the order, Mr. Coekrum said to the
grand lodge:
'I congratulate you uposth excellent
condition ef s the order throughout the
world. We meet under the best condi
tions In this, the eighty-seventh annual
meeting of the sovereign body. We have
a larger membership than ever oeiore,
our tinanolal strength is greater, and In
most branches We find unexampled seal
and energy being applied dally to the en
nobling work of our great organlxatlon
for the uplift of mankind and the ex
tension of our benevolent and fraternal
purposes."

1910 were 117,(04.771, and the Invested funds
of grand and subordinate bodies were 17,.
743X1. an Increase of S4.Ua.302.
The most Important matter to come be
fore the session was a. recommendation
by the grand sire to make the office of
commander cf the Patriarch Militant an
appointive officer for two years during
the terms of the grand sire, Instead of an
elective office for four years as at
present A great deal of bitterness was
engendered over this matter and It was
finally referred to a committee headed
by ea-Oovernor W. H. Pockery of Mis
souri, which reported In favor of giving
the grand sir the appointment of the
head of the Patriarch Militant branch of
the order, which was adopted by the sov
ereign grand lodge.
General A. R. Stocker, mayor of
Mtamlsburg, O., was appointed to be
commander of the Patriarchs Militant for
the ensuing year. The grand sire an
nounced that General Stocker would suc
ceed General Raney within ten days. The
term for wbloh General Raney was
elected does not expire until January L
IW. .
The grand aire reported decisions on
forty-nine Questions which had come to
him during the last year and every one
of these decisions were upheld by the
Judiciary . eoramlttee of. the sovereign
grand lodge, which la a very unusual oc
currence. Grand Blre Coekrum bold that It Is not
lawful for officers or past officers of
grand or subordinate lodge to use their
offlolal titles m Indorstng or promoting
any Insuranee or other business. H held
that It 1 not lawful for a lodge to lend
any part of it rule tltat could be used
In degree work to male members of a
Rebekah lodge. According to hi decis
ion, Syrian and Assyrians are Caucas
ians and are entitled to membership In
the order, but Arabian are not so en
titled, aa they are a swarthy race.
The grand aire held that It I unlawful
for officer or past officer of grand or
subordinate lodges to use their official
titles In endorsing or promoting any kind
of business. He also reported that there
was nothing In the Imperial Order of
Muscovites, which Is largetjy composed of
Odd Fellows, which should meet the dis
approval of the sovereign grand loge.
Hopes of the women belonging to the
Rebekah of obtaining the consent of the
sovereign grand lodge at thla se anion for
the creation of a Rebekah national as
sembly, were disappointed when the
grand lodge declared against the propo
sition by a vol of 138 to 69. The com
mittee appointed at the Atlanta session of
the sovereign grand lodge last year to In
vestigate and report on the proposal to
establish a Rebekah national assembly Is
understood to have been favorable to the
proposition. '
Hotel keeper licensed to sell Intoxicat
ing liquors were barred from admission
to the Odd yellows order. This was the
decision of the sovereign grand lodge of
Odd Fellow, which adopted an amend
ment to the constitution to thla effect
by a vote of 18s to 11.
After hearing the report of the special
committee on the establishment of a

grand lodge decided to allow the grand
Jurisdictions to build and equip such In
