seph c. Hendrix raped for order.
Chancellor w. F. Mcdowell of Den
yer University invoked Divine blessing.
After roll-call, Governor Adams of
Colorado welcomed the association to
the State. Governor Adams, himself a
Bank President, made a rather lengthy
address, in which he good-naturecly
criticised many of the methods of mod
ern banking. He advocated a postal
savings banking system and a Govern
ment guarantee for all deposits in na-
tional banks. He predicted an era of
prosperity to follow the season of ur-
certainty produced by the war with
Spain and a great widening of the oper-
ations and influence of American finan-
ciers.

The report of the Executive Council
was read by the Chairman ANah
Trowbridge of New York. After re-
citing the work of the council, Mr..
Trowbridge read letter from the Rail-
road Freight Agents Association, sug-
gesting better methods in the matter OF
drafts accompanying bills of lading and
asking for a joint committee to take
action. The association agreed to the
request.
Upon recommendation of the council,
the association adopted a. resolution
asking that a Government commission
be created to study the. financial ,condl-
tions Of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Pill
ippines, and suggest amendments
thereof, if any are deemed necessary.
The committee was authorized to IN
quire into rates and forms OF surety
| bonds and to suggest a standard form
for warehouse receipts. and bills OF
lading.
Frank w. Tracy, Chairman of the
Committee on Uniform Laws, submit
ted the report of that committee, when
| was in part as follows:
| 1.-THE negotiable instrument law,
which we are endeavoring to have
| passed is very fortunate in having
been tried for sixteen years in Great
Britain and all it's colonies. 1t has been
| indorsed by experts in law in thirty OF
! the States of the Union. Indeed, II
| has been subjected to all the criticism
which the best minds in the legal pro-
fession could bring to bear, and yet mas
| come out unscathed.
/ I'm spite of this we find in every Leg
islature some wise man who wishes to
| offer some amendment. Much oppos1-
ton has been expressed to the law be-
| cause it abelishes days of grace, ana.
astonishing to say, this opposition man
| ifests itself more strongly in the New
| England States than anywhere else
| That long arguments should be made
| against the .abolishing of such rellc Oh
| stage coach days in country covered
with railroads Is a marvel indeed. we
are pleased to say, however, that thls
opposition did not come from either the
| bankers or the lawyers. The task of at
| tenqpting to pass this law in all the
| States is one of herculean proportions,

KNIGHTS OF PYrHIAss
The Supreme Lodge in Biennial
Session at Indianapolis.

| INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 23.-The Su-
prenle Lodge, knights Of Pythias, be-
! gan it's biennial session in the hall of:
| the House Of Representatives at the
| State Capitol this morning. The rooms
/ were beautifully decorated with the
Pythian colors and emblems of the or
! ders, and the galleries We're crowded
| with the wealth and fashion of the
| city.
| Caleb S. Denny, ex-Mayor of Indian
apoHs, Chairman of the Citizens Ex-
ecutive Committee, called the meeting
| to order.
! Mayor Taggart and Governor James
A. Mount welcomed the lodge, and on
behalf Of the Grand Lodge of Indi-
ana Grand Chancellor Union B. Hunt
made an address of welcome. Supreme
Chancellor Colgrove replied in a speech
of about ten minutes duration.
| AT IL o'clock the Supreme Lodge set
| tied down to business, after the CALLER
les had been cleared.
The Supreme Lodge is in poor finan-
cial condition, having less than $4,000
on hand. This fact caused some of the
| members to severely criticise the pres
ent Supreme officers, and some Of the
charges found their way into the public
press, causing a great sensation. !.
| The Supreme Lodge late this after
noon appointed an investigating COM
| mittee to ascertain who furnished the
charges to the papers, and it is the in
tention to expel the offending member,
not only from the Supreme Lodge, but
| from the order, and there are lawsuits
against the papers which presented the
charges.
| The condition of affairs has caused a
| determination on the part of the Su-
preme Lodge to change the manner of
| raising revenues. 1t is the intention to
have passed at the beginning of each
Supreme Lodge meeting an appropria-
ton bill similar to the bills passed by
Congress and the State Legislatures,
and to raise this money tax will be
| levied on each member Of the order.
There is considerable opposition to this
plan and hot fight is anticipated.
The officers of the Supreme Lodge will
be elected Thursday morning. A hard
fight is being made against the incum-
l bents, but it is thought they Will be
reelected except that Charles E. Ship
ley of Richmond, Ind, is leading for the
position Of Vice Chancellor.
There are about $4,000 strangers in
the city, of whom Is 900 are in uniform.
More than 5000 members of subordin-
ate lodges are in attendance.
The Pythian parade this afternoon
was witnessed by 10000 people. About
| 13, 600 members Of the Uniform Rank
and 5000 members of the subordinate
| lodges participated. The parade was
reviewed by the Supreme and Grand
| officers and the officers Of the State and
| city. 1t was the largest secret society
parade ever held in this city.
There is a strong fight between Lou
isvilIe and Detroit for the next session
of the Supreme Lodge.
The annual reports of the Supreme
officers were read this afternoon, after
which the lodge adjourned to witness
| the narade.
