the promised simplicity shouldn't be
taken too literally.

The beginning of the lodge of Odd
fellows in Seward came when two
Oddfellows, Howard L. Long and C.
E. Mullin, met on the beach of Resur
rection bay, May 19, 1915. A talk
followed and a second meeting took
place with three present, Messrs.
Alderman, Long and Mullin.
Decided to find how many Oddfel
lows in and around Seward. Fourteen
found, some of whom were up-to-date,
some several years and one who had
been 30 years an Oddfellow. Most of
them were coming and going but that
year a notice was put in the Gateway
and a meeting wca held in Pioneer
hall. Nine were present and the fol
lowing five “fought it through:" H.
L. Long, C. E. Mullin, W. W. Aider
man, C. H. Shutz and John Noon.
Club organized with lots of F. L. T.
combined. Long was made president
and Mullin secretary. Then came the
occurrence that all remember—the
death of a brother. P. S. Hunt, the
D. D. G. M. for Alaska, at Valdez,
was on the job and sending letters of
encouragement on every mail, and
Oddfellows sprang up like taxes in
Seward. Dr. 0. J. Keating came to
Seward and put hi3 shoulder to the
wheel. Brothers Sloan, Sauers, Sex
ton, Mefferd, Harvey, Vest, Cook, Par
sen, Russell, Qually, Johnson, Han
son, Pritchett, Thomas, Dark, Ham
bright, Williams, Montgomery, Lynch,
Mclvor, Nunemaker and several trav
eling brothers fit Led in.

had a membership of two and three
quarter million.
Total revenues for 1914 was $18,
848,205.01.
142,011 Brothers and 8.250 widowed
families were relieved at a cost of
$4,022,577.07.
Total invested funds of the order at
the close of 1914 were $68,284,512.59.

NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF
CHARITIES & CORRECTION
MEETS AT INDIANAPOLIS
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
INDIANAPOLIS, May 10. —A na
tional bureau for th<Trehabilitation of
America's mental defections will be
one of the big things planned by the
nation's experts on crime and poverty,
at the National Conference of Chari
ties & Correction, which opened here
today.
The promoters of the plan have in
mind the establishment of a big farm,
or a number of them in various parts
of the country, with institutional
buildings and homes for the “farm
ers,” where the potential criminals
may be studied individually and made
over into useful citizens.
In one division of the Conference,
under Miss Julia C. Lathnop of the
Federal Children’s Bureau, the fam
ous Gary plan of public school organ
ization will be shown to represent
ideas social workers have long ad
vocated. Social work agencies will be
represented as buttressing public
school organization in respect to the
health of children, recreation, school
centers and steering the child into
work.
Insurance will be advocated as a
preventive of dependency by Dr. lee
K. Frankel, of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance company, New York. Dr.
I. M. Rubinow of the American Medi
cal Association, will speak on health
insurance. The chief of the industrial
hygiene department of the Ohio State
Board of Health, Dr. E. R. Hayhurts,
will describe sanitary’ and hygienic
measures for improving the condition
of labor. Two physicians, Dr. D. C.
Peyton, of Jeffersonville reformatory
and Dr. S. E. Smith, of the Richmond
hospital for the insane, will describe
the hearing of disease upon crime, in
sanity and poverty
Employers will be shown to be mor
al reformers in their altitude toward
the use of alcohol by their employees,
in a report to be made by Dr. Alex
ander Fleisher, of the Metropolitan
Life Insurance company.
