LOSE GROUND
FIRST REAL STRUGGLE AT TO
LEDO IS OVER.
Insurgent Delegations Are Not Seated
and War Is Less Warm.
Toledo, 0., June 21. ((Special cor
respondence to the Observer.) Vic
tory perched upon the banners of the
administration forces in the convention
pf the Modern Woodmen of America,
when a vote was taken Thursday
morning in a stormy session in Mem-
orial hall.
Wrangle upon the question of adop
tion of the report of the committee on
credentials ended in a vote of accept
ance, 233 to 125. The report of the
credentials committee, adopted by an
overwhelming majority, bars from the
convention the contested insurgent
delegates.
Consequent upon the adoption of
the report, adjournment was taken un
til Thursday evening, when a night
session for the transaction of import
ant business will be held. ' Adjourn
ment was necessary by the approach
of the hour for the Rainbow parade
Thursday afternoon. A shower of
rain began to fall at 1 o'clock, it was
announced would have no effect upon
the plans for the big procession, which
was scheduled to form at 2 p. m.
The, vote upon the adoption of the
credentials committee was the first
real disclosure of the relative strength
of the contesting forces in the tri
ennial gathering, which after four
days has, by this vote, reached the'
first steps of permanent organiza
tion. The session Thursday morn?ng be
gan under conditions similar to those
of Wednesday's stormy meeting.
Extra police were stationed at the
dcors and no one but delegates bear
ing credentials was admitted. Dis
order was narrowly averted, the short
and ugly word being passed between
contesting delegates from Iowa early
in the session.
Of the 436 delegates constituting
full representation in the head camp,
S58 who came to the convention un
contested or against whose credentials
contests were withdrawn before the
credentials committee, were permitted
to, vote in the temporary organization
for delegates to be seated in the per
manent organization Thursday.
Contestedl delegates numbering 78
were not permitted to vote. Of the
Illinois delegation- 58, against many
of whom objections were wltmlrawn
a: the credentials committee hearing
were permitted to vote. They were
.called individually and voted "no"
solidly. Fifteen of the Iiinois dele
gation were not permitted places in
the temporary organization and their
eligibility will have to be determined
by the credentials committee, with
those of several delegates from Iowa,
Minnesota and Nebraska.
Of the Iowa delegation, 1!) were
permitted to vote on personal call
and the remainder still are subject to
ruling of the credentials committee.
"No Nebraska delegates were permit
ted to vote because of contests, and
the 23 delegates from Minnesota, solid
administration adherents, were denied
participation in the formation of the
permanent organization in like man
ner for like reasons. Eligibility of
the 78 delegates still contested, of
which about 50 are insurgents, will
have to bo determined in notion on the
'credentials committee's further report
on the floor of the convention.
Plans of the insurgent loaders to
introduce a resolution demanding a
probe of the financial management of
the order was frustrated by the de
feat of their side in the vote upon the
committee report. This resolution,
as drawn, recited that since the last
triennial period general expenses have
been in excess of receipts each ytar
us follows: 1011, $2('.8.071 1 1912 $.r87
017; 1913, $55,385. During the last
three yenrs, it was asserted that dis
bursements of the order have been
$5,009,933; receipts ?3,9i8.000; that

which President Hall made his formal
address.
The principal feature of the morn
ing session consisted in two lectures
by Dr. A. E. Rocky of Portland. His;
first was a clinical lecture on "Sar
coma of the Left Parotid Gland," and
was accompaniedl by an operation on
a patient for the removal of a tumor.
His second lecture on "Intestinal Sta
sis" was a review of four years' per
sonal operation and the use of liquid
purafine and proved absorbingly in
teresting to the medical men. ,
Clinical lectures on "Paranoia" by
Supt. W. D. McNary and "General
Paresis," by Dr. A. E: Tamiesie, both
of the state hospital with materia!
furnished by that institution, are to
be features of the afternoon session.'

tion demanded tho employment of ac

Rain Catches In Bermuda.
Notable among the landscape fea
tures of Bermuda is tbe "rain catch."
There is no other good water. All

ish So the people cither use their
whitewashed roofs as a means to en ten
rain water or they build n big open
"catch" on the hillside, with a covered
eisteru at Its foot. Into which the rain
thus collected runs and Is stored. The
soil Is scraped away from n large sur
face of the white coral rock that un
derlies all the island. This surface Is
cemented and whitewashed, and a low
wall built on three sides wltb tbe
reservoir or tank at the bottom.
