An APPLICATION WILL BE MADE AT
n the meeting of the Board of Pardons III June

convicted At No =, March session, 1880, OF con-
spiracy,
The Propagation, a Philadelphia pa
per published in the interest of the A.
o. U. W., says:
We copy the above for the purpose OF
calling our membership to the necessi-
ty for some immediate and definite ac-
tion looking to the defeat of what
seems to be well laid plan of two
consumate scoundrels to secure their
deliberate attemptt to swindle the Gener-
al Custer Lodge of Allegheny out of
$4,000.
These men have shown themselves
to be not only liars but perjurers.
They have violated every principle OF
honor and manhood, and in our judg-
ment, had they been sent to the State
prison for five years instead of the
Workhouse (the one for II and the
other for months), it would have
been more in keeping with their just
deserts.
In view of all the circumstances
the coolness and audacity-to say
nothing of the meanness and coward
ice Of these worthless, it seems to be
the bounden duty of every Lodge oi
the A. 0. u w. in the State of Penn
sylvania, to file with the proper au-
thorities a solemn protest, under the
seal Of the Lodge, against releasing
either of them until they have served
the full term for which they were SEN
fenced. Nothing less than this ought
or will satisfy the membership of our
organization.
Satisfied as we are that a plain
statement of facts laid before the
Board of Pardons, and backed up by
our Lodges, will be sufficient to de-
feat the seemingly laid well plans ofthese
distinguished gentlemen, we earnestly
urge upon all our Lodges to follow the
example of Pennsylvania Lodge, No
1874, at its last meeting. They di-
rected the Recorder to enter in due
form the solemn protest Of the Lodge
against their release or any mitigation
OF the very light sentence already i'm
posed.
These men are not like Kemble ant
Petroff They can never be of any use
to the members of the Board of Par
dons, and it is therefore reasonable tC
suppose protest from the 10000
members in the State of Pennsylvania
will in this case amount to something

COMMUNICATES sERENADED-GREAT CROWDS
ARRIVING.
CHICAGO, ILL, August 16.-Several CON-
manderies were serenaded at their camps
last night by the Apollo Club. Tonight
the entire list OF Communicates, numbering
$50, will be here. The weather is RATHER
cool for camping, but it is pleasant and dry.
A steady stream OF strangers, sir knights
and their ladies, and other men, women,
and children, poured into the city all night,
and are arriving by thousands this morn
ing. Already the city is more crowded
than during the National Republican Con-
yention. The great difference in the crowd
is the large percentage Of ladies, many OF
the knights having not only brought their
wives, but whole families. Hotels which
thought they were putting their powers 10
the limit to accommodate a thousand are
trying to lodge and feed double that num-
Der. Single cots will have TO do double
duty, and square yard OF carpet Is at Il
premium. To-day is to be devoted entirely
10 the reception OF visiting knights.
AND STILL THEY COME.
Communicates Of Knights Templar con-
tinue TO arrive in such rapid succession
that it IS impossible 10 keep the track OF
them. So large has been the tide OF visitors
setting towards the city that the trains have
had TO be divided to accommodate the rush.
and In this way much delay has been occa-
stoned. The local communicates are kept
busy escorting the visiting communicates
10 their assigned homes. The sound or mu'
sic and tue tap OF the drum is beard in
every direction, to which the various bodies
OF uniformed knights are marching and
taking possession Of the city. The streets
are almost impossible with spectators, and
Chicago is at the feet OF
AMI INVADING LEGION OF TEMPLARs.
The influx OF thieves, pickpockels, and
burglars is very large, and they began ope-
ratiOns last night by capturing some regalia
from the tents Of the California delegation.
The police have been instructed to arrest
all known bad characters, or even suspicious
ones, and lock them up during the con-
claye, they being numerically unequal 10
the task OF watching them in addition TO
their other duties. General Torrance,
Brieadier General commanding the First
Brigade OF Illinois National Guard, has
issued an order detailing 425 men to be
stationed at the camp Camp DE Mollel.
PRESS REPRESENTATIVES, OF HAND.
Over one hundred newspaper men
have arrived. representing leading papers
throughout the country.
The weather is delightfully."- bright and
cool, and there is every prospect Of its con-
tinuing pleasant throughout the remainder
OF The week devoted 10 the concIave.

1t Is now said that 36s Communicates will

ton, corn, spring wheat, and tobacco crops

ture to-day:
COttOn.-The returns 10 the Department
since August lst show an increase in the
condition Of cotton since those returned in
July. The average condition for the whole
country is l02. The following are the re-
ports by States: 40 counties in North Caro-
lima average 1906; 20 counties in South
Carolina average 9S; 81 counties In Georgia
average 9S; II counties In Florida average
SO % counties in Alabama average 90; 81
counties IN Mississippi average 90; Is coun-
ties IN Louisiana average 30; 10 counties in
Texas average no; 81 counties in Arkansas
average 1OG; % counties in Tennessee ave-
rage 107. Timely rains are reported in all
sections; rather too much In the States
bordering on Mississippi river, and the
Texas stand is good and some ten days
earlier than last year. Worms, rot, and
rust are mentioned in every State, but no
material damage is yet done.
Corn.-The general average OF the corn
crop shows soBe decline since month, and
is for August Isl % against 100 on July 1T.

AUGUST L, 1919. lUtlt - dtI VI y pei
cent. OF 1,243 counties reporting the crop
on August 1st 80 report full average, ASS
report above, and 400 report below. New
England, the Middle and Atlantic States, as
far south as North Carolina. each show a
very high average. South Carolina, Geor-
gia, and Alabama show the effect Of
drought. The whole Mississippi Valley
shows an increase over last years, except
Illinois and Indiana, where there was too
much rain early IN the season, followed by
severe drought in June and July.
Spring Whedt.-The returns OF August
lst show the condition OF spring wheat at
So against 81 last year. The weather during
July was acknowledgements so than during

trbuted to rust and chinch-bugs. In Ne
braska and Kansas the early months were
very dry, and the rains which came were
too late TO restore The loss. California and
Oregon report the highest condition since
several years.
Iobdcco.-The general average OF the
whole country Is Sc, and was In 1879 at the
same time II, and in 1873, 81. There has
been no change reported for month ex.
cept decline in Maryland and Kentucky,
owing to drought. and an increase in Vir-
ginia-owing to favorable weatber-of I
