WOMAN SUFFRAGlSTS.
Proposition TO Increase the Business
Committee Defeated.

Proposition to IncreaEc the business
Committee Defeated.
The National Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton had spirited debate yesterday, at
Des Moines. Iowa. on a proposition to add
the chairmen of standing committees to the
business committee Of the associati ton.
which would thus be enlarged to fourteen
members.
Mrs. McCulloch of Illinois, Mrs. Addison
of Kansas, Mrs Atwater of Montana, Mrs.
Nelson Of Minnesota and Mrs. Devee of In
diana advocated the proposed change. In
order to give all the branches of suffrage
work better representation on the manag-
ing committee The plan was opposed by
Susan b. Anthony. Rachel Foster Avery of
Pennsylvania, Carrie s. Chapman Gait of
New York Anna Howard Shaw of Penn
sylvanis, Mrs. Bradford of Colorado. Henry
3. Blackwell OF Massachusetts and others,
on the ground that enlargement would
make a cumbersome committee and would
interfere with the efficiency of the work.
The proposition was defeated by 30 to 10.
1t was decided to insist that the national
organization shall control state campaigns
in which that association gives aid. Ma
tional workers say that women in the new
states do not know how to run a cam
paign as well as the workers who have been
through such struggles in other states.
Miss Anthony said she would never take
hard-earned money contributed for this pur-
pose into state campaigns unless she could
control them.

INDIANAPOLIS LODGE WON.
An Important Decision Affecting the
knights of Pythins.

hn1sntS Oh
Koerner Lodge, No. 8. Of the Knights Of
Pythias Of Indianapolis. has won a victory
over the Grand Lodge Of the order in the
supreme court of the state. The decision
of the Marion superior court was reversed.
The Grand Lodge had secured a decision in
the lower court approving Its action in
taking from Koerner Lodge its charter and
depriving 1t of its property. Koerner Lodge
had adopted a resolution to secede from the
Grand Lodge because of certain action talk
en- by the Supreme Lodge requiring that ali
rituals and all work Of the order be in
English. This was taken as a personal
affront by number of German lodges over
the country, Koerner Lodge among them.
Although the resolution was passed at a
subsequent meeting of the lodge, eleven OF
the members protested against the lodge
seeding and formal protests We're placed
upon the records.
The claim of the Grand Lodge was that
the action of the members of the lodge
teEded toward dissolution. Judge Jordan.
who wrote the opinion In the case, said
las We have seen, the laws of the order
forbid voluntary dissolution or surrender
of lodges charter in the event there are
niEe members willing to continue the or
ganizGtion. The policy or purpose of this
rule manifestly is to prevent a dissolution
of subordinate lodge unless II be effected
as near as practicable by unanimity upon
the part Of its members. If there are nine
or more loyal ones who are willing to sus-
tain their organization as a lodge and con-
tinue its existence and operations in obedi-
ence to the rules, regulations and laws of
the order, then a voluntary dissolution of
the lodge as such cannot result even
though 1t will be the will and desire of a
large majority of Its members, except by
the permission Of the Grand Lodge or its
chancellor"
