Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 26.-The SUI
preme lodge, Knights of Pythias, ad-
journed today's session at o'clock
this evening, after having elected the
following officers: Supreme chancel-
Tor, Thomas c.. Sample Allegheny,
Pa; supreme vice chancellor ogden
II. Fethers, Wisconsin. The other Of
fcers Will be elected tomorrow. The
men elected were on the slate of the
present administration.
Much of the morning session of the
supreme lodge was devoted to the con-
Sederation of the report of John A.
Hinsey, supreme organizer endowment
rank, on the condition of that organ
jZation. Representative Shively moved
that the report be printed. Friends of
the official household objected to this
step and the debate waxed warm.
Representatives Ritchie Riddle and a
number of others supported Mr.. Shive-
ly'5 motion, and it finally prevailed,
after over two hours had been spent
in discussion. Mr.. Hinsey said after
ward that he was willing to have the
report printed.
Vague rumOrs were floating about
among the supreme representatives as
10 the condition of the endowment
rank. This is the insurance branch Of
NiiS oIQGI anu has O0,0f9 members, car
rylng insurance amounting to $y9. 261,
500. The statement of the board of con-
troll shows the resources to be $685.
1882. 1t is charged that $91, 1876 is
entangled in the affairs of a defunct
! national bank of Fort Worth Tex, and
Inothing but a judgment against bonds
men represent this money; also that
the 1926, 1878 invested in a hotel prop
erty at Chicago, which is now in the
hands of a receiver, is nothing more
than fifth lien on the property
These rumors are as yet very vague
and indefinite. This was the meaning
of the resolution introduced in the SUI
preme lodge by Dr.. Suthpen of Ohio.
The committee appointed to investi-
gate charges made against the su-
preme officers have been in session
two days, but it is not yet ready to
report.
The citizens finance committee has
not been able to figure up the expense
of the meetings here yet, but members
estimate that it will be about $4,000
OF which sum 1920 was donated by
tie grand lodge of Indiana The bal
SHce Will be raised by popular sub
Scrlpton, and what is left over will
be given to the grand lodge.
The question of reducing the per
diem of the supreme representatives to
Is ard allowing them mileage at 8
cents came up again, and, by an al
most unanimous vote, it was decided
% put the figures back to the original
80 day and cents a mile.
