Royal Arcanum Receiver
Is Asked in Court
Boston, Mass., Aug. 29.—Arthur
F. Cummins and James F. TTpstone,
both of Nassua. N. H., to-day filed a
hill In equity in the United States
district court here asking the ap
pointment of a receiver for the Royal
Arcanum, a fraternal Insurance or
der, on the alleged ground that its
funds had been impaired by doubtful
investments and .the loss of a large
number of members. The bill charges
that the order has become hopelessly
insolvent and that Its resources are
* insufficient to meet its obligations.
This is the second receivership
proceeding brought against the Royal
Arcanum in recent months.
CHANGE O.U.A M. NAME
TO AMERICAN MEN
[Continued From First Page.]
total membership at this time is
84,189.
To Elect To-morrow
At to-morrow's sessions the offi
cers for the ensuing year will be
chosen, and a selection will be made
of the city in which the next ses
sions of the national council will 'bo
held. Providence, R. 1., is likely to
be selected as the place of the sev
enty-second session, according to the
representatives who are here, but
Concord, N. H., will make a strong
bid for the convention.
Pleased With Name
More than two hundred delegates
are accredited members of the na
tional council of the Order of United
American Mechanics. Practically all
of the delegates who will attend the
sessions which are to continue
throughout to-day and to-morrow
are now In the city.
Great interest has centered around
the selection of a new title by which
will be known in the fu
ture, and delegates agree that the
name, "American Men" Is one ad
mirably suited to the organization.
The committee appointed to ad
vise the ritual has completed its
work. The report has been present
ed to the representatives of the
many state and local organizations
who are in attendance here, and
final action upon this important mat
ter wasjconcluded at this morning's
session. - '
In a measure, the committee on
revision have had their work laid
out for them. Last year a vote was
taken in tho subordinate lodges, ask
ing an expression of the order re
garding 'several contemplated
changes then under consideration.
While the national council exercises
supreme authority in all matters per
taining to the order, pfllcers of tho
law-making body desired the ex
pression of the membership as a
whole before making any sweeping
changes.
The proposition to revise the ri
tual and to change the title of tho
ordpr received a majority m ote. The
membership was by no means anx
ious to assume a new title, however.
This proposition carried by a narrow
margin.
Taking the action of the subordi
nate bodies as a basis for their
action, both of the proposed changes
were mads.
Many persons who have been
prominently identified with the or
der for many years felt that if has
accomplished much and could ad
vance to new heights under the old
title. Others claimed the name,
"mechanics" was misleading.
* The order had its inception m
Philadelphia seventy-two years ago.
The founder was JAither Chapin.
Chapin was actuated by high mo
tives in the organization of the so
ciety, and for e. time no one hut a
craftsmen, were admitted. Patriot-
The founder was a carpenter, and
saw the need of a closer bond be
tween the workmen of Philadelphia
and foreign laborers who wefe com
ing to this country. Labor trouble
had nothing whatever to do with the
foundation of the society.
Tho society grew rapidly, and nf-
Ser some years others, who were not
sraftsmen, were admitted. Patriot
ism has always made a strong appeal
to members and men In every walk
of life were enrolled as loyal support
ers:
The growth of the order was rapid
until the time of the Civil War, when
the entire membership of many
lodges was wiped out. As the order
is in no sense a society for labor
ing exclusively, many feel that a new
name will be appropriate.
The principles, honesty, industry
and sobriety have drawn many
prominent men into the circles of the
O. U. A. M„ and this fact was used
as ip argument by those who object
ed to a change of name. At least,
•two presidents of the United States,
Ulysses S. Grant a.nd William Mc-
Klnley, were members of the Me
chanics.
Second Meeting Here
This is the second time in the his
tory of Harrisburg that the supreme
council has met here. Harrisburg
entertained the order in 1907.
This afternoon delegates and their
wives visited Hershey, where spe
cial privileges were accorded them In
their tour of the famous chocolate
town. They will motor through the
parks of Harrisburg and will visit
notable places here. Later this even
ing H. O. Holstein, national secre
tary, will be host at a dinner to bo
given the visitors at the Fort Hunter
Hotel.

Appreciation of lTosidont ,
President Wilson made the follow

• Permit me to express my reat
appreciation of the work undertaken
by the Pennsvlvania Division of the
United States Boys Working Reserve
of the Employment Service of the
Department of Labor. To give to the
young men of Pennsylvania between
ages of 16 and 21 the privilege
of spending their spare time inpro
ductlve enterprise without interrupt
ing their studies at school, while
their older brothers are battling in
the trenches and on the seas, niust
greatly Increase the means ofprovid
ing for the forces at the front and.
the maintenance.of those whose serv
ices are needed here. It is a high
privilege, no less a patriotic
dut,, to vhelp support the nationby
devoted and intelligent work in this
great crisis. .
"Let me express the hope that the
voung men ot Pennsylvania not now
permanently employed may eagerly
enter the Boys Working Reserve to
fit themselves by training and study
for good citizenship and productive
service. In this way they can show
themselves worthy of patriotic fathers
who have fougfct for democracy in
the past, sustain their patriotic broth
ers who are fighting , for It to-day,
and command the affectionate pride
of the brave mothers who are silently
bearing the burdens at home."

WAR PROFITS TO

To meet the radical movement for

agreed to amendments carrying war

Debate on the publishers' taxes ,
was begun by Senator Shields, of
Tennessee, who supported Senator
McKellar's substitute and argued
that magazines and other periodicals
not newspapers cause the deficit in
carrying second class mail.
"I am satisfied," he said, "that
the dally papers are paying prac
tically all. If not the full amount, for
the service they receive. Rates on
I magazines and other publications
which cause the losses should be
increased."
SMALLER CITIES TO ACT
IN UNISON ON LAWS
[Continued From First Page.]
was taken a motion to convene in
Erie carried unanimously.
With the exception of an address
by James Sweeney, chief of the State
Bureau of Standards, on "Weights
and Measures," the entire morning
session was devoted to a discussion
of laws which had been passed, and
others which arc wanted by the
league but which died in commit
tees.
Discuss Laws
A comprehensive report of all
laws passed and those which did
not go through the last Legislature
was presented by Solicitor James A.
Gardner, of New Castle, chairman of
of the law committee of the league,
and one of the most active third
class city legislation boosters in the
state.
In the report Solicitor Gardner
spoke at length on the repeated at
tempts to insert in the Ramsey
amendments another amendment
which removed the nonpartisan fea
ture of the Clark act. He declared
that he was almost positive this
would not have carried in either
branch and also said every effort
would have \>ecn made to have it
vetoed should it have passed. He
also scored the Beidleman bill, which
would have jtartly restored the for
mer system of electing partisan
couneilmen from each ward in a city.
Mayor Louis Franke, of Johns
town, supported by Mayor Kitts and
other officials who have taken much
interest in the legislation, cham
pioned Mr. Gardner's cay so to have
the league work together. Mayor
Franke first condemned the laxness
which resulted .in the failure to get
needed legislation and declared that
unless each city got back of the move
for betternment the House and Sen
ate would do the same at future
sessions.
Must Organise
Mr. C. Rhone, Williamsport, then
took the floor and told the delegates
to organize and fight for the laws
they want.
"The only way to get them will
be to show the Legislature that wo
as city officials know more about the
need of third class cities than men
from Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and
Scranton," Mr. BJ. one said. He rec
ommended the appointment of a
committee of fifteen, to be composed
as five mayors, five coupcllmen and
five solicitors, each from a different
city In the league, TO De placed In
charge of bills which are presented
at. the 1919 session. He joined Mayor
Kitts and Mayor Franke in their
criticisms of civic and political bod
ies who attempted to influence the
Leg Mature and have partisan
amendments abided to the Clark act.
Questions Nonpartisan Ticket
The discussion on the nonpar
tisan clause in the Clark act brought
a suggestion from James P. Colter,
of Meadville, that city school direc
tors should bo placed under a sim
ilar provision. He also questioned
the advantage of making candidates
for the Supreme and Superior court
bench run on non-partisan tickets.
One of the recent acts of the
Legfislaturo will tequlre an third
class cities to advertise and sell
city bonds to the highest bidder.
Mayor Kitts stated he was opposed
to this measure as city finane de
partments often can sell blocks of
bonds at much higher figures than
when advertised for and sold to
bidders,
Ira W. Stratton, ex-Mayor of
Reading, who presided this morning,
also questioned whether in the future
sinking fund commissioners may
purchase city bond§ and save the
four-mill State tax, at the same time
getting the interest on the bonds for
the sinking fund.
A summary of Solicitor Gardner's
report follow®:
Bills which were passed In the
recent Legislature and which were
favored by the league, to fill coun
cilmanic vacancy by appointment by
remaining members in council; civil
service for police department; civil
service for paid fire departments,
and changing/the time for submitting
city, school and poor tax duplicates
to the city treasurer from June 1 to

Much interest was shown by the
delegates in the problem confront

would not serve. City Solicitor Fox
yesterday called attention to this
fact, which aroused the Interest of
all the delegates.
