Following automobile ride about the city and taking tion photograph in front of the F. R. A. building, the Wisconsin state council of the Fraternal Reserve association held a business session this forenoon and took recess at 12:15 o'clock until 8:30 o'clock tomorrow morning, when the coneluding business session will be held.

There were thirty-five automobiles used tor the motorcar ride and about tifteen miles of city streets were covered, the most interesting portions of the municipality being traversed. At the new West Algoma street bridge the draw was raised to permit the visitors to get some iden of how the bridge is operated for the passage of boate. George A. Buckstaff led the procession with his automobile and set a pace that was just about right to permit of good views being obtained along both sides of route. Upon the return of the automobiles to F.

R. A. building, from where the start was made, all the delegates and many of the local members of the F. R. A.

were grouped and photographed. It wue 10:35 o'clock when the council was called to order by President Foster for its business session, but he stated that in view the fact that the automobile ride bad been thrown in a8 a special entertainment feature he did not tuink an apology was necessary for the delay of thirty-five minutes in starting the session. Roll call disclosed the presence all the state officers and delegates from about eighty-one councils. The report of the committee on order of business was presented and accepted and a partial report of the committee on per diem and mileage was also adopted. The committee stated that it would be prepared to submit a complete report as NOON as the matter of per diem was settled.

ALLOWED FOUR DAYS. This had reference to the committee's recommendation that each state councillor and ench state council officer be allowed four days per diem, that the state secretary and treasurer and state council judges be allowed one extra day each for work of auditing the accounts and that the members of the committee resolutions be allowed one extra day each for the work of compiling and preparing resolutions in advance of the meeting. The per diem of the officers and regularly accredited delegates attending the meeting is $3 a day and they are allowed six cents a mile one way for milenge. Following action on the committee's report, the committee 011 resolutions presented a number of resolutions, some of which it recommended and others which it reported without recommendation of any sort. One of these, which was rejected by a strong negative vote, provided that the retiring president the state council should by virtue of his office be member of the supreme council at the expiration of his term of office for a term of two years.

There was considerable discussion over this and the debate was spirited. It was the majority opinion, however, that it would not be wise to adopt a resolution of this character, although It was conceded 'that in the case of the present head of the state council there would be no danger but that he would be a most capable and efficient member of the supreme council. Without opposition, a resolution was adopted authorizing and directing the president of the state council to appoint a committee to formulate a degree, which degree will bei recommended to the supreme council for its consideration and adoption or rejection, and to revise the entire ritual. President Foster appointed as the members of this committee: A. J.

Caldwell of Oconto, A. C. Radke of La Crosse, Mrs. Gertrude Letbert of Antigo and A. B.

Wanty of Wausau. ENGINEERS ARE BARRED. A resolution providing that the state council should recommend to the supreme counell an amendment which should make railway engineers and railway firemen eligible to insurance membership in the association was defeated and there was but little discussion over it, After some donate, there was adopted a resolution, offered by Mrs. Mary B. Hoffmati of South Milwaukee, providing that there shall be added to the bylaws of the state council a section providing that every application for membership in the order must be issued to the local council the city or town in which the applicant has legal residence.

If there be local counell in such city or town the application must be made to the nearest local council in the state. In cities where there are two or more councils the applicant may determine the one to which his application shall be presented. This resolution was introduced and adopted to settle a question of jurisdiction relating to applications for membership In the order. Action taken on three other resolutions that were presented is detailed another column of this NO PLANS MADE FOR PHILIPP. Republican County Committee WIll Hold Meeting In About a Week to Deelde.

Walter J. Callies, chairman of the Winnebago county Republican committee, states that no arrangements have as yet been made for the visit of E. L. Phillipp, Republican candidate for governor, to this city August 8. Mr.

Callies announces that all the positions on the Republican ticket are filled, so far as this county is concerned, and things are rounding into shape for the campaign. A Republican county committee meeting will be called in about a week, and at that time it will be decided what arrangements to make for Mr. visit here. When the average man asks for Justice and gets it. he is apt to recognize that he asked too much.

THE DAILY NORTHWESTERN, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 30, 1914. OF HINDS THOUGHT TO BE HELD SUSPECT GIVING NAME OF JAMES J. COLLINS UNDER ARREST AT CHICAGO AND WILL BE BROUGHT HERE. OFFICERS GO TO THAT CITY. District Attorney D.

E. McDonald and Sheriff Zweifel Will Secure the Man and Have Him Identified, if Possible-la Believed to Be Waldo Grace, Former Minnesota Conviet-Details. District Attorney D. C. McDonald and Sheriff Edwin R.

Zwelfel are in Chicago today after a man held by the Chicago authorities on suspicion that is the fugitive wanted in this city for the murder of Frederick Hinds, night baggage man at the "800" depot, who was shot to death his post of duty on the night of at June 10. The man is said to have been using the alias James Collins. It belleved his real Waldo Grace, although that has not been established. And further, It is understood that the Collins alias is only one of several the man has assumed. The Oshkosh police department ceived a message from Chicago yesterday advising them of the detention Collins, and asking that word be sent immediately of the local department's wishes in the matter.

Chief Dowling had gone to Milwaukee to secure a girl, Ella Mueller, who had left her home and had been taken into custody at the state metropolis. District Attorney McDonald and Sheriff Zweifel were also in Milwaukee, these two officials having gone to attend the big Moose gathering there. Assistant Chief Gabbert Immediately got into telephone communication with Milwaukee, and as an upshot It was arranged that the district attorney and the sheriff should proceed to Chicago today to bring the suspect to this city. HAS TIME, It is said that Collins, now in custody, had, served time at the Stillwater prison, Minnesota, for holding up A agent. His forte 18 said to he railroad stations robberies.

Chicago advices indicate that the man under in that city was a released from Stillwater 4, after which he is supposed gone to Green Bay to order visit a sister. He left Green Bay, according to a "Soo" railroad detective, on June 9, telling his relative that he was going Chicago, It 18 believed that he came to Oshkosh. That the day before murder at the "800" station. "The Chicago authorities said that Collins dented all connection with the Oshkosh affair, and that he waived tradition proceedings, to which he is entitled under the laws between states. It 18 said, although without offeint verification.

that Emil Villnow, the ticket agent who saw the man who shot Hinds, the baggage man, identifled 8 picture Collins as being the likeness of Hinds' murderer. Should Villnow be able to identify the man as the real murderer, there will probably be but little diffculty in verttying the statement. There were a number of persons in and about the railroad station who saw the man before the shooting and who saw him run away afterward. CRIME WAS COLD-BLOODED. The killing of Hinds was a most cold-, blooded murder.

On the night of June 10, while Emil Villnow was about to sell tickets to passengers for the 11:52 o'clock train, he was held up at the point of a revolver. While the lone desperado kept him covered with the weapon, he robbed money drawer of $52. AR he was about to leave the ticket office, the door of which was open. Frederick Hinds appsared. The baggaggeman, not suspecting what was going on, had come to the office for the evening mail.

He was just about to step in as the bandit stepped out. Without warning and without cause, the robber fired point blank at Hinds, the bullet passing through his heart. The wounded man reeled and walked out to the platform. and was shot again, the second bullet passing through his body and penetrating the lungs. He lived only a few seconds.

Several suspects were apprehended but Villnow was unable to identify any one of them and it remains to be seen whether he will be able to identify this man. The bandit wore no mask, but he needed a shave and his hat shaded his face, to some extent acting as A disguise.

Plan Meets With Opposition of Places Seeking Next Convention and, After Spirited Debate, Matter IN Postponed Two Years--Tributes of Respect Offered the Supreme, Officers-Proceedings. (INDEX OF F. R.

A. CONVENTION. Page 3-Contest to be Sharp. Page 10. Oshkosh Order Benefit to State.

Page I I 4-Delegates See City, Page 10-Will Attend Two Conventions. One of the notable features of this morning's business session of the biennial convention of the Wisconsin state council of the Fraternal Reserve association was the introduction, debate and final postponement of action on a resolution which provided that Oshkosh should be the permanent meeting place of the state council. in the preamble to the resolution it was stated that it was believed its adoption was advisable because "the P. R. A.

has built for the use of the supreme officers and every member of the order a magnificent home, which is particularly adapted to the uses of the 50- city and to accommodate the biennal sessions of the Wisconsin state because "it is a real Inspiration to each delegate to a state council meeting to visit our supreme council headquarters and thus be helped to realize the success that has been attained and see this visible and profitable postion of our reserve fund investments." Another reason cited was: "Oshkosh is the real center of the membership territory of our order and state council meetings can be held here with less expense than at any other point in the jurisdiction." A motion to the resolution was rot seconded adopt, motion was immediately offered to lay it on the table for two years. An amendment to this amendment, to lay it on the table until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning was lost and the original motion to lay it on the table for two vears was carried, with the understanding that in the meantime the local councils throughout the state would be given an opportunity of voicing their wishes and going on record in the matter. DEBATE IS ANIMATED. rathero, was the an proposed extremely resolution animated both deby those in favor of and against it. Opposition was led by the delegates from La Crosse, which Is after the 1916 convention, and by the delegates from Eau Claire, which maintains it is entitled to the convention two years hence because it gave this year's convention to Oshkosh after having been awarded it by the state council in convention at Wausau two years ago.

When Supreme President E. R. Hicks was called upon to say something about the question at issue he simply stated: "Play fair, whatever you do. That is what the Fraternal Reserve association always should do, be fair." a By a standing vote and with a great "hurrah" the following resolution was adopted: "Whereas, the members present at this meeting have had the good fortune to be present at the very interesting and impressive exercises SO carefully planned by our supreme ofSeers and so. perfectly conducted and presided over by our supreme president, Emmet R.

Hicks, we deem it fitting and proper to offer this testimonial of our respect and gratitude to them and to him who is enshrined in the affections of every member of this order and who desire at this time to assure him that we will never acknowledge that he has a peer in our entire jurisdiction, not to take in as much territory as We might and would lige to in ability, integrity or' loyalty to his friends, to the F. R. A. to his lofty ideals, and we rejoice with him and with each supreme officer and the faithful office force in having been able to see the realization of our home. I Long may he and they live and prosper, say we all." HICKS IS AFFECTED.

Supreme President Hicks was deeply affected by this testimonial, but while be expressed his appreciation, he disclaimed a large part of the credit bestowed upon him. He declared that this should be attributed more to the other supreme officers who had planned and executed the building projects and who were at all times instrumental in carrying plans for the advancement and prosperity of the order. The following testimonial offered by the committee on resolutions was also adopted by a rising vote and with "hurrahs" of approbation and pleasure; "We, your present committee on resolutions, esteem it a very high privilege 'to have the honor to voice the sentiments of this state council, as best we can, in trying to give expression to our appreciation of the most successful achievement of our supreme officers in erecting A home for our beloved order, which reflects in enduring and visible materials the beautiful principles taught to members of the F. R. which first found birth in the minds of the founders of the F.

R. A. and the authors our ritual, being finally interpreted by the young but most successful brother member (Henry Auler), who, as architect, was inspired to assist in giving to us a building that is a model of beauty, utility and permarency."

C. FAHRNEY OF CHICAGO WILL PROVIDE FUNDS FOR SECOND OPEN AIR CONCERT TO BE HELD AT PARK. Likes Music Himself and Has Guests Who Are Fond of Such Entertainment and He Authorizes Employment of Band at His Expense for the Benefit of His Friends of Chicago and Oshkosh. Oshkosh people will enjoy another concert by the Arion band at MenomInee park next Tuesday evening through the generosity of E. C.

Fahrney. Mr. Fahrney is a Chicago capitalist who spends much of his time near Oshkosh, although he is a resduring the summer, months at farm ident of Chicago, he 18 as loyal to this city as though Oshkosh were his permanent home. The arrangement for the open air concert came about rather unexpectedly this morning as the result of a chat between Mr. Fahrney and one of his Oshkosh friends.

Mention was made of the crowd which 80 evidently appreciated the concert at Menominee park on Tuesday evening of this week, when the remark was made that unless other Oshkosh men or business firms followed the example of the Cook Brown Lime company, this city would probably do without concerts at its leading park during the balance of the summer. "What is the trouble here? said Mr. Fahrney. "Nearly city of any size has band concerts. Sometimes when I have guests on the farm from Chicago they take the automobile and go to Menasha, or Omro, and I think even to Berlin, to hear a band concert." NO MONEY AVAILABLE.

"The business men say they do not feel that they should always be called upon to support the free concerts in the parks," was the reply, "and the city has not made any provision to supply this form of popular, recreation. The Cook Brown Lime company engaged the band to give a concert last Tuesday night, but so far no one else has followed their example. The people thoroughly appreciate these concerts, and perhaps by next year public opinion will induce the city council to appropriate public funds for a series of concerts." The Chicago man remarked that open air concerts were almost a summer necessity. "I g0 to a band concert and enjoy phear he said, "and whenever I've had the opportunity to hear, your Arion band a concert I've gone to hear them. My brother, W.

H. Fahrney, and his wife, who are here on their houseboat, went to the park last Tuesday night and were much pleased with the music. And next week there will be more Chicago people out at my farm, and they too would enjoy hearing your band as much as anyone. "Such concerts are not pleasure but they are a civic attraction. would be glad to show my regard for Oshkosh by giving the people a concert, if the band and the park are free some evening next week." WAS SOON ARRANGED.

The Arion band, fortunately, was free for next Tuesday evening, and the park blotter was clean, SO that in a very short time after the Chicago millionaire commissioned his friend to arrange the matter the band concert was scheduled. Eli Rice will probably be engaged to sing several numbers to the accompaniment of the band. This feature proved good one at this week's concert. A new program will be arranged for the next concert. KEEP LAUNCH OFF ROCKS.

It Requires Strenuous Effort to Save Party at Mouth of River at Neennh-Other. News. (Special to The Northwestern.) Neenah, July -At a meeting of the waterworks board held last evening a communication from John Strange requesting hydrant be placed near the old Governor Doty's 10g cabin on the island, which he owns, was read. It was the opinion of the board that the could not build a main on private property. The matter of the unwillingness of the Bergstrom Paper company to pay the extra fee of $75 for attachment to the sprinkling system in their new mill was also discussed.

It was moved and carried to notify D. W. Bergstrom to appear before the council and to state the reason for his objections. The meeting then adjourned. Working In frantic haste to repair a broken gasoline engine before the wind and high waves should drift a twentysix foot launch, containing a party of young people, upon partly submerged dredge bank in the mouth of the Neenah river and which would have resulted in the wrecking of the craft, was the experience of George E.

Elwers of this city last evening, Trouble with the carburetor stopped the engine just outside of the dangerous pile of rocks at the side of the Neenah channel. The high east wind rapidly drifted the boat towards the reef while Mr. Elwers worked against time in making the necessary repairs. The motor was started just as the launch had begun to ground on the shoal. The absence of an anchor in the boat added to the precariousness of the situation.

There will be a meeting of the police and health committee at the city hall this evening. Several recently applied for saloon licenses will probably discussed and the advisement of grancing the licenses taken Into consideration.

When Miss Edgeworth's heroine "Helen" wished to pay her debts, her principal asset was her traveling chaise.
