Miszpah Lodge Dedicated Hall. The Mizpah lodge of Odd Fellows, last night, dedicated to Odd Fellow- ship the splendid new hall which they have recently erected in the village of Mizpah. The event wasa stellar in the history of that community and was participated in by large crowds of Odd Fellows and members of Re- bekah lodges, estimed at nearly 200 Inivations had been issued to every Odd Fellow lodge in northern Minnesota to participate in the dedi cation of the hall, and “Three- linkers” were present from many lodges, including Bemidji. The Mizpah brass band met the incoming Odd Fellows from the south at the train in the evening and escorted them to the hall, where preparations had been made to royally entertain all who had come to the village. Rev. Amundson, pastor of the Baptist church of Mizpah, was in charge of the dedication ceremonies and he delivered a splendid address of welcome. There was no special response to the welcome, but Rev. Deniston of this city spoke elo- quently on the subject of “Frater- nity that Counts.” Rev. Deniston’s address is spoken of very highly, as containing many good points on fra- ternity. Previous to the speeches, a high- class vocal and instrumental pro- gram was given, at which the Miz- pah orchestra performed very cred- ibly. At the conclusion of the dedica- tion ceremonies and the rendering of the program a splendid banquet was served, under the supervision of the members of the Mizpah lodge of Rebekahs. It was an early how this morning before the dedication services and the banquet had been concluded. IMPORTS WILL B LIMITED Free Trade With the Philip- pines Agreed Upon. OUTCOME OF CONFERENCE Meeting of Mr. Taft and Republican Members of House Ways and Means Committee Results in a Compromise by Which a Certain Amount of Fili- pino Products Will Be Admitted Free of Duty Annually. ‘Washington, Dec. 12.—Free trade with the Philippines was one of the most important matters agreed upon by President-Elect Taft and’ the Re- publican members of the ways and means committee at a conference on tariff revision. While Mr. Taft favors free trade with the insular posses- slons without any restrictions it is understood that in order that there shall be no dissention he has agreed that the amount of sugar and tobac- co which should be allpwed entry free of duty should be restricted. ‘With that end in view it is expeot- ed that the sugar interests have agreed to a compromise by which 300, 000 tons of sugar will be admitted from the Philippines annually free of duty and that all sugar over that amount will pay the present rate of duty, which is 25 per cent less than the duty imposed by the Dingley tar- iff on sugar from other countries.
