GERMAN KNIGHTS PROTEST
Feeling Aroused By the Requirement
that All Work Be in English.
Protesting Convention Of German Lodges, En-
bracing q Membership of Twenty-Five
Thousand, Called for June r.

A call has been issuea for O convention of
German lodges of the knights of Pythias
to be held in this city on June l2 to protest
against the action of the Supreme Lodge
which met In Denver last year on the ques-
tion of ritual. At this meeting OF the Su-
preme Lodge q new ritual was adopted.
and upon a vote of fifty to fifty-one. il was
decided that there should be no translation
for the German lodges. as had been the
case in the ritual W hich was superseded.
The German lodges were naturally dis
pleased at this action. and this displeasure
was augmented by the fact that the ques-
ton was not considered until after large
number or the delegates had departed.
Another fact that dlspleased the German
lodges was that the preceding Supreme
Lodge had passed the inhibition against
admitting saloon keepers. which was oon-
sidered to be q discrimination against the
Germans
Koerner Lodge, No. 6, and Schiller Lodge
issued circulars to all the German lodges
In the country. 125 In number. embracing
mem bership OF %. 200. advising q conven-
tion of German lodges TO protest against
the action of the Supreme Lodge. Favor
able replies were received to all these cir
culars. and the call has been issued for the
date named. The Grand Lodge of the
Will be brought to bear upon 1t to induce
II not to suspend the German lodges not
adopting the new ritual in accordance
with the provision that all lodges not
adopting II after 1t should 60 into effect In
February should be suspended.

YANCY AND MRS. SMITH.


Coroner Beck yesterday subjected Writ
Yancy, whose name has been frequently
mentioned since the Smith tragedy OCCUR
red in North Indianapolis. to q rigid ex-
animation. but failed to adduce evidence
of an important nature. Ysncy denies in
toto ali stories rejecting upon himself and
Mrs. Smith, and AYERS that his friendship
for her was of q purely plstonio nature.
Mrs. Smith herself called at the coroner's
Office yesterday. and made an official state
ment which 10 substantially the same as
her original version of the affair. She also de-
MED the rumors Of her intimacy with Yancy.
and testified that, aside from the usual
family squalls incident to domestic life,
her matrimonial existence was the happiest.
She says that, some time ago, her family
was troubled with escaping gas and, one
evening before they bad retired. they were
compelled to open all the doors and win
dows TO purify the atmosphere. Mrs.
Smith had often heard her husband COM
plain Of feeling badly. and was aware of
his Affections.
The testimony Of Mrs. Smith and Writ
Yancy WAS very contradictory rs to the
times they had met and the places Of meet

FORT WAYNE INVESTIGATION.

Talk with Governor Matthews About the
Feebie-Minded Institute.
Governor Matthews was at his OFF, yes
terday. having returned from his visit to
Fort Wayne during the night. When asked
as TO his discoveries at the School for
Feeble minded Children, he said:
Il bad never visited the stitution, and
was interested in seeing what the school
was dong. The charges of mismanage-
mcnt were filed with me Yesterday. for the
first time. though L had before been asking
the most part, of business nature and
yet are not serious. i have concluded
not to make them public until the inves-
tigstion. which will be made some time
next week. will appoint Secretary John
son. and Mr.. Nicholson. and Mr.. Elder, of
the State Board of Charities, to make the
investigation. which will take in the board
of trustees as well as those directly the OBJ
ject of charges. propose that the investl-
CATION shall be thorough. IL will be pub
lie. and every opportunity given those who
prefer the charges to substantiate them. In
case of the charges against several ladies
connected with the school, il may be that
another course will be pursued. In order to
do no injustice. Charges against q woman
ought TO be petty we'll established before
she is subjected 10 suspicions which. no
matter how innocent she might be. would
cling TO her all through her lite. There is
no politics in this thing. as sar as am con-
cerned. but. If there were. l would want it
to involve men and not women"
The Governor did not say so. but it is
evident from the nature of his remarks
that the charges are not of o nature to
damage tho good name OF the institution.
Regarding the selection of q superintend-
ent, he said be had said to the board that
the only thing he would ask OF them 10 that
they appoint a married man. and that his
wife be required 10 live In the institution
with him. He says Is o very dific1ls
matter to get a man for the place tho is
thought TO be well fitted for the duties.
The qualities which the Governor thinks
the board should most insist on are execu-
tive ability. Its then not so much ques-
ton OF experience. Among those who give
attention To the charitable work of States.
it is held that experience in one institu-
tioE is not always benefit to the APP
pointee in another institution. This arises
from the fact that institutions OF this
nature are much like individuals having
environment to which experience in other
institutions will not apply. and the sp-
pointee Is likely to fall into ruts which pro-
duce disorder.

Coroner Beck's attention was called to
the death of colored man named Crock
ter at No. Susquehanna street. yesterday,
but made no investigation into the cause
of the death. as the death return made by
DR.. Wagner showed that death was due to

been sick since Monday, and desired an
autopsy. She afterwards, however. be-
