Detroit, Aug. 23.—In ft scene of
wild confusion, bordering on a riot,
during which one man fainted, and
which was finally ended by extin-
guishing the lights in the convention
theatre, the Los Angeles delegation
to the national convention of the
Loyal Order of Moose yesterday dis-
puted the session and prevented the
nomination of officers.
The Los Angeles delegates de-
manded that the constitution be
amended to allow the nomination
and election of officers at the clos-1
ing sessions to enable the delegates
to become better acquainted with
the candidates. An effort to pro-
cure the amendment may be made
later in the week. The excitement
lasted fully an hour.
During the pandemonium, James
F. Lennon, dictator of the Philadel-
phia lodge, and twice candidate for
supreme dictator, stood on his seat
and nominated himself for the office.
In order to avoid a violation of the
rules an adjournment was taken.
It was rumored tonight that Mr.
Anderson will not allow his'name to
be presented as a candidate. Little
business of importance was trans-
acted today. The supreme secre-
tary's report showed a membership
increase from 81,000 to 22,i,000
during the last year, with 414 addi-
tional lodges. About 14,000 dele-
gates are now here.
"It was the refinement and ele-|cnce of special interests In shaping
vated sentiment of an outraged and
indignant citizenship that arose in
oalrn and deliberate wrath and ex-
terminated the brute—a brute infin-
itely more dangerous to the peace,
the happiness, the life of the com-
munity than anything the heart or
the brain of man can conceive.
"Crimes of this sort are not the
result of sudden and uncontrollable
passions of the moment, but delib-
erately planned and executed, and
instances are known even where
the methods of escape were arrang-
ed In advance.
"A jury, eo the papers say, is now
investigating the matter, with the
view of bringing indictments against
those who shot to death the devil,
and the burners of his foul carcass.
No indictments ought to be found,
and there will be none.
"To return indictments in such a
case as this might might not be per-
jury before the written law, but it
would be the basest work of per-
jury before the hearts and consci-
ences of any jury that would make
such returns.
"The written law is all right, and
ought to be and will be respected,
but in a case like that at Platter, it
simply ridding the earth of
the party policy.
occupied most of the morning and In
the afternoon the resolutions com-
mittee began its work. The busi-
ness will probably be finished to-
morrow and will be concluded by the
deciding of next year's meeting
place.

Several persons who live near the
