The Committee on Returns and Reports, of which Robert Lee Page was chairman paid the following tribute to Great Sachem Pelham:--"Under his guidance and administration the Order has prospered and grown in strength. His advice and decisions have been fair and impartial and his conduct such as to meet with the approbation of the entire membership. His administration is one that will ever be remembered, and we feel that we cannot give him the praise he so richly deserves. We could with greater ease add beauty to the lily or fragrance to the rose than we could adequately express our appreciation of Bro. Pelham." The following resolution was adopted:--That the Horse's Head on an Indian Shield as recommended by the Great Council of the United States be adopted as the totem of this Great Council, and that this Great Council reserve unto itself the right to control the manufacture and disposal of the said Totem or jewel. The Committee on Charters recommended that charters be granted to the following new Tribes, which was agreed to:--Kabo, No. 78, Petra; Eyota, No. 87, Ball's Landing; Swift Foot, No. 88, Campbellsburg; Tallalu, No. 89, Callaway; War Eagle, No. 90, Bedford; Idaho, No. 91, Four Mile; Tallapoosa, No. 92, Milton; Mingo, No. 93, Newport; Sago, No. 94, Germantown; Wissahickon, No. 95, Lockport; Iona Council, No. 6, D. of P., Pittsburg. Great Prophet Ellerkamp offered the following suggestions, which were adopted:-- That memorial page or pages be printed in each great sun's record containing the names of all brothers deceased during the previous great sun. That at the opening of each Great Council every representative be handed a copy of the last record and a copy of the manual. That the Asst. Great Chief of Records prepare a page or pages containing all new laws and resolutions enacted and also all unfinished business. It was ordered that the Great Chief of Records prepare and have printed a suitable form upon which Deputy Great Sachems shall hereafter make their reports. That matter of deferred business, consisting of the report of the special Committee on Widow's and Orphan's Home Fund was taken up, and on motion of Past Sachem H. C. Yunker, of No. 7 was laid on the table. An amendment to the laws was offered to lay over one great sun providing a penalty for electioneering. Another to take the same course was offered providing for holding the Great Sun Council in Hot Moon instead of Flower Moon. The Finance Committee recommended the payment of mileage to 78 Representatives, Great Chiefs and members of Committees, amounting to $753.53, being an average of $9.66 per member. Past Great Incohonee Thomas K. Donalley proceeded to raise the Great Chiefs elect, appointing as Great Tocakon Past Great Sachem Willie Walker.
