A great deal of important business is
session of the Grand Consistory, the
election of new Grand Officers being, of
course, a feature of moment.
The reading of the proceedings of the
last meeting was dispensed with, but
each member of the body was furnished
with a printed copy.
The petition of seventeen candidates
for degrees and those of nine for ad-
mission by affiliation were presented
and referred to committee, which
subsequently reported favorably upon
each.
The Grand Master, Charles l.. J. w.
Pierce, delivered his address, in which
he reviewed the events of the year.
Then followed the reading of the re-
ports of. George w. Hobe, Grand Regis
trar, and S. w. Levy, Grand Treas
urer, which with the reports from sub
ordinate bodies were referred to COM
mittees to be reported on at the session
tomorrow.
In the printed proceedings is the fol-
lowing recommendations: We believe
that the Grand Consistory should re-
move from it's roll every evidence OF
reScinded charters, and therefore rec
ommend that the numbers Of chartered
bodies be revised and remembered in
accordance with their rank of seniority
and that changes be made.
In accordance with this recommended
ton the San Francisco Lodge of Perfec-
ton was numbered No. l, that of Oak
land No =, that of Los Angeles No. =,
that of Sacramento No. t, and that OF
MarySville No. >. The lodge of Marys-
vile, Pacific was on the old roll as No.
>, and when it came to the reading or
the announcement that it had been
changed to No. ; there was a strenuous
objection from Marysville district, and
after some discussion the matter was
referred to the Committee on GrieV-
anceS.
After the disposition of the matter
the grand body was called off until to-
morrow morning, when the reports OF
committees will be received.
In the afternoon the election of Off
GERS will be held.

LEAGUE is AFTER THEM.
Taxpayers at Last Take Up the Fee
Grabbing Outrage

The Taxpayers league will look into
the methods of the Topeka justices
courts At the meeting last night the
following committee was appointed to
make an investigation of the criminal
prosecutions before justices: DR.. W.
c. Hamilton, B. F. Golden, and NJ.
Heery.
A Burkhard read the article recently
published in the Journal showing how
the county is compelled to pay for the
airing of quarrels and how useless lit
igations are started by officers more
anxious for fees than justice. At his
suggestion the committee was named.
Mr. Heery said today to a Journal re-
porter that the committee will make a
thorough examination into some of the
recent cases before justices, and an ex-
haustive report will be prepared and
submitted at meeting of the league.
An effort will then be made to devise
some methods of correcting the abuses.

Will Leave Chicago.

Chicago, June 16.-As a result of the
signing of the butterine bill, the manu-
facture of butterine in Illinois will prac-
tically cease July 1. Four firms are en-
gagged in the business in Chicago. and
thirty million pounds of the imitation
butter is turned out every year, on
which internal revenue tax of 2
cents a pound, or $500, 900 is paid.
Armour & Co. and Swift & Co.. both of
which firms have plants in Kansas City,
will probably remove their machinery
to that city, while G. E. Hammond &
Co. and Braun & Fits are expected to
move to Hammond, Ind. The closing
of the establishments here will throw
several hundred me out of employ
ment It is estimated that the opera
ton of the new law will put 50, 900, 900
yearly into the pockets of the farmers.

TO MAP OUT PLANS.
Delegates From Santa Fe De-
partmentS to Arrange
For Celebration.

Within a week plans for the big Santa
F'e anniversary celebration during the
Fall Festival will be in systematic
shape.
Mr.. c. w. Kouns, the Santa F'e mem
ber of the Committee of Fifteen, start
ed the BAH rolling this morning after
the meeting of the subcommittee with
General Manager Frey, told elsewhere,
and not later than next Saturday dele
gates from every department in the
Santa Fe general offices and the Santa
F'e shops in this city will meet with
Mr.. Kouns to let him know what the
respective departments can and are
willing to do towards making the ami
versary celebration a splendid success.
Here is the manner in which the work
is to be taken up:
The employees of the respective de-
partments of both offices and shops,
and in cases where the departments
are large the employees of the sub-di-
visions of the respective departments
will meet together, discuss what they
can and will do as a division or depart
ment. and elect delegate to meet with
Mr.. Kouns and lay their plans before
him. These meetings of the employees
will be held at once, probably tomor-
row.
delegates from the offices will meet
with Mr.. KOuns separately, as the
character of the display in the celebra-
tiOn by the two departments of the rail-
road work will be different.
In addition to starting the work
among the employees in Topeka, the en-
ployes of the different division points
throughout the state will also be nOti-
fed this week that they are at liberty
to formulate plans for the celebration,
and that the company will be willing
to give all the assistance necessary to
carry out such plans 1t will not be
made obligatory on the employees at
any point to prepare displays for the
big Santa Fe procession, but the COM
pany will transport all displays to To
peka and it is believed that with few
exceptions all division points will be
represented in the parade.
After the conference between the del
egateS from the different departments
and Mr.. Kouns, the plans proposed will
mittee of Fifteen. Mr.. Frey will then
issue a formal circular stating that he
is aware of the action the different de-
partmants intend to take in reference
to the celebration, and that the COM
pany will afford them all the assist
ance possible. The company means to
allow the employees to take such action
as they see fit.
The employees of the Santa Fe shops
have already been notified that they
are at liberty to prepare whatever dis
plays they desire 10. The shop en-
DlOVeS at all other points will be given
the same privilege, and the mechanical
display made in the Santa F'e process
sion will probably outrival anything of
the kind ever attempted in the world;
no other railroad ever celebrated an
anniversary.
Meetings of delegates will be held as
often as is deemed necessary. As soon
as the plans are fully decided on no
time will be lost in commencing the
active work.

OBJECTED TO BRYAN.
Millionaire ROuss Would Not
Attend the Dedication of
His Own Gift.

New York, June 16.-Charles Broad
way RoUss, who has presented to the
University of Virginia, a CharlOttes-
vile, handsome building, superbly
equipped for scientific research, was not
present at the dedicatory exercises,
which took place yesterday.
The reason is that William Jennings
Bryan was invited to address the liter
ary societies of the university on
Thomas Jefferson" To allow Mr..
Bryan to become the champion of the
founder of Democracy appears to Mr.
Rouss monstrous, unpatriotic and Grim
inal. These are his own words
The dedication of the laboratory was to
be coincident with the annual exercises
of the university, and the faculty natur-
ally invited Mr. Rouss to be present.
Professor ]. b Greene offered his hos
pitalty to the rich merchant for the
occa sion, and it was in his letter of de-
to inveigh against Mr.. Bryan, whose
presence as a speaker was sufficient to
keep him away.
''While it would give me great pleas
ure,' he writes, Ito enter into the en-
jOyment of the proceedings, 1 would not
be able to listen with any satisfaction
to an address delivered by Mr. Bryan
upon Thomas Jefferson. He and his CO.
cOnspira tors succeeded at Chicago in
stranding the time-hOnored Democratic
party organization and now they want
TO steal It's great IOunOeF.
mo, he and his conglomerate political
fusion will not be permitted by my
presence and silent acquieScence, hum
bic citizen though I be, to become the
champion of Thomas Jefferson Let US
at least prevent this monstrous usurpa-
ton and robbery, Thomas Jefferson is
a bout all that true and loyal Democrats
have left of the great party. Let US at
least hold on to him until we can right
ourselves. To permit a heterogeneous
combination of anarchists and party
wreckers to use Thomas Jefferson as
shield for their disloyalty to the public
veal would be unpatriotic and criminal
in the highest degree"
Mr.. Rouss was born in Winchester,
Va, and Monticello is to hom shrine.
He draws a somber picture of the
events, which, he believes, would have
followed Mr.. Bryan's election. Mr..
ROuss ends his letter to Prof. Greene
thus:
Entertaining heartfelt pride in your
great university for its glorious past, as
well as sincere interest in it's future
welfare.
