SUPREME FOREST
'MEETS IN MEMPHIS
Nebraska Supreme Court Rules
' in Favor of "Mrs. Man-
Chester in Contest.
ONE MATTES PENDING
(From Staff CorrsspdndsnL)
Lincoln, Feb. 24. (Special.) The
Nebraska supreme court today denied
to the executive council of the Su
prerae Forest, Woodmen Circle, the
right to apply for an injunction to
prevent Mrs. Emma B. Manchester,
supreme guardian, from calling
meeting of the order in Memphis,
Tenn., March 22.
The denial was made on the oral
application of T. J. Mahoney of Oma
ha, attorney for the majority of the
committee.
The majority, according to the
story, had asked the supreme guard
ian to call a meeting ot tne council
March 22. They wanted it uvUmaha,
where records would be convenient
and witnesses and employes would be
available to take up impeachment
charges against Mrs. Manchester.
They declare that Mrs. Manchester
is proceeding to call the meeting in
Memphis, where the cost ot transport
ing the records and witnesses would
be excessive, and the bulk of the rec
' ords would be burdensome and un
wieldly, with the chance of losing im
oortant documents.
The right it only a continuation of
the clash between Mrs. Manchester.
who has been head of the order, and
the seven majority members of the
council, which numbers thirteen.
At the oresent time there is out
standing in injunction by the supreme
court to prevent the majority council
from interfering with Mrs. Manches
ter m her supervision ot held workers
for the order.
On the ground that Impeachment
proceedings constituted t violation of
the order, Mrs. Manchester filed t
motion early this week in the supreme
court asking that the council be cited
for contempt of court. The hearing
on ine motion nas oeen neiu, dui uc
court has not announced its decision.
