PYTHlANS' BUSINESS HALTS
While a FaultIess Investigation is
Going On.

indianapolis, Aug. 26.-The Rathbone
Sisters this afternoon, after a spirited
| controversy, adopted an insurance fea-
| ture similar to the endowment rank of
the nights of Pythias. The Sisters also
voted to affiliate Kwith the National
| Council of Womens clubs and elected
| Mrs Ida NJ. Weaver of Boise City, Idaho
delegate to attend the meeting at Oma-
IA in October.
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
81, 200 was donated by the grand lodge
of Indiana. The balance of 81, 200 will
be raised by popular subscriptions and
what is left over will be given to the
grand lodge.
1t is practically conceded that the next
meeting will be held at Detroit, though
Louisvills has not given up the fight by
any means. These are the only cities that
will be considered unless the fight be-
comes so strong that some place else,
possibly Buffalo, will be chosen as a
compromise.
The investigating committee appointed
by the supreme lodge Knights of Pythias
held meeting last night behind closed
doors and tried to find out who it was
that made the charges against the pres
eat supreme officers, but they made little
Roadway, as those under suspicion were
able to prove their innocence. The com
mittee did not report today, as was ex-
pected. and asked for more time Two
members Of the committee want to give
the books and vouchers of the supreme
lodge a general overhauling and the other
two are in doubt about the advisability
of doing so, on the score of economy 1t

ton had been held. with a strong indi-
cation that il would be again postponed.
The question Of reducing the per diem
OF the supreme representatives TO s. a
day and allowing them mileage at

unanimous vote it was decided TO put the
figures back 70 the original s. a day and

teen officers and their families and four

to collect the passage money, a thing
readily managed under the easy inspec-
ton OF the Americans.

H. 3. Church left yesterday for Chi

Mr.. McElroy the New York contractor
who was mere Thursday. and Mr.. Hirsch
of Hirsch & Co.. the New York bond syn
dicate.
Hirsch & co. 0nave arranged with Mr.
McElroy to put up the $4,000 deposit re-
| qu!red by the city as g guaranty oil
| liquidated damages. In this agreement IS
stipulation that Mr.. McEhoy's firm shall
have Uhe contract for building the new
line here. This agreement was made be-
tween these two firms before Mr.. McElroy
left New York. bun it was also subject to
approval by the contracting engineer after
visit here.
Mr.. AlcElroy says he has built good pay
ing lines in cities with much less pros
pect and promise than Wichita. The firm
makes contracts the world around, and
IS now building a. complete system of
street railways in town in England. He
was greatly surprised and pleased with
Wichita, and thinks a street car line here
will be a profitable investment Mr. Nc
y
and after looking UP Wichita's industries
and it's territory said he thought the place
would reach 10000 people within the next
ten years. He is not interested in the
Wichita system in any way except that
he wants the contract or putting in the
lines. He agrees to put up the SO, 900 de-
post upon security to get the contract and
put the thing in such shape that the bonds
can he handled
This is the situation. The firm has back
ing 10 the extent of several hundred thou
sand dollars, and is able to CARRY on any
agreement made. Mr.. McDlroy said that
when he commenced work it would not be
more than forty-fve days before the track
would be ready for new cars. He will
be i'm New York Sunday, returning to
Chicago Tuesday with Mr.. Hirsch An
otner week will tell whether the Wichita
street railway is TO he torn off the streets
as ordered by the council, or be replaced
by a new one.
Chairman Reese said yesterday that the
matter seemed now to he in a fair way
for the Church company to get hold of
the money to make the deposit and go on
with the construction Of the lines.
w. Q. Church says he can see no reason
why the matter cannot be put through
now with dispatch.
Before Mr.. McElroy went away he ex-
amined all the specifications for the cars
as ordered from the st. Louis Car COM
pany year ago, and these wiz be taken,
as they are already completed, and any
oss of time in preparing nav plans saved.

She was not prepared and neither was he,

at the Office and asked if his wife had been
