CATHOLIC KNIGHTS
Twelfth Biennial Meeting at Kansas
CitU

|
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 9.-The su
preme;council of the Catholic knights o.
| America, the largest and most infiuen
tial of the Roman Catholic fraternities,
convened in twelfth biennial session In
this city today with two delegates pre-
sent from each state and Canada.
AT the formal opening in Lyceum
hall this morning the visitors were
welcomed by Mayor Jones, to whose
address suitable response was made by
Edward Feeny, of New York city, pre-
sident of the organization. Following
the formal opening the delegates at
tended high mass at St. Patrick e
church.
The present convention of the Ca
tholic Knights promises to be an ex-
ceedingly important one, especially as
regards 1.-The uniform rank, inasmuch
as it is expected to witness some radi-
cal changes in the affairs of this branch
of the order, first OF which will prob
ably be to displace the supreme coun-
Gil of the subordinate lodge in control
of the Offices of the uniformed division.
The proposition is agitated by the In
diana delegation and is understood to
have the indorsement OF many in
fuential memb bers.
The trouble in the uniformed ranks
dates back several years when the
supreme council declared General
Lee. J. Kadeski out of Office and ap-
pointed John w. Nordhaus, of Indiana,
commander-in- -chfef of the uniform
rank. General Kadeski opposed this
action legally and by protests to the
supreme council, but it is said that
orders were issued to the various COM
panies to ignore General Kadeski.
The uniform rank as body has re-
spected the administration of General
Nord haus, but at the same time there
has been manifested much sympathy
for General Kadeski. It has never
been known publicly how General
Kadeski incurred the displeasure of
the supreme council, and there are al
legations of envy on the part of his
stronger sdherents. The present gath
ering will be asked to take up the mat
ter and it is felt that upon the result of
its investigations will depend the fu-
5ure welfare of the uniform rank.

SCHOOL BOARD CONTROVERSY
DR.. Races Petition Comes Up for a
Hedrinu.H

/ iISot
At 2 O'Clock this afternoon the petit
tion of DR.. Charles T. Race, formerly
president of the school board, for 8
writ of msndamus to compel Messrs
Martin, Shelton and Foster, other
members of the board, to recognize him
as the lawful president of the board
instead of DR.. Turner, came up for a
hearing.
The public is familiar with the de-
tails and features of the controversy
among members of the board, which
arose after election of DR.. Turner as
president of the board and c. r. More
| head as q member
| The sensational withdrawal of
Morehead, Pew and Race from the
room in which board meetings are
held and the subsequent fling of a
petition for writ of mandamus are
| incidents that are still fresh in the
minds of the public. They explained
| that DR.. Turner was holding his Of
| fetal position illegally and that they
considered it their duty not to recog-
nize him as president of the board.
After DR.. Race had appealed to the
courts an effort at compromise was
made. 1t was proposed that DR..
Turner and @. r. MOrehead withdraw
and Captain Beall be elected to sue
ceed Judge Blacker instead of Mr.
MOrehesd. The compromise PROPOSE
tion, however, fell through for when
the time arrived for it to be carried
out. Morehesd, Race, and Pew failed
to attend the meeting.
After resOrting TO an appeal to the
courts the Morehead faction discover
ed that they had bitten off more than
they could chew and that the law was
clearly with the other side This drove
them frantic and Messrs. Race and
Morehead have been experiencing deep
grief, refusing to be comforted, during
the past ten days
When the case came up for hear
ing at o'clock there we're present
nam and Turner, and about twenty-five
lawyers and other spectators. DR.. Race
WAS not present.
Attorneys Beall and Kemp and Judge
Buckler represented the Race side of
the controversy, and Turney and Bur-
ges, DR.. Turner.
1t was 2:3O O'Clock before the attor-
neys were ready TO open the contest:
three or four of them had to read over
the answer of DR.. Turner before it was
presented to the court. Finally Cap
tain Beall arose, when each side an
pounced itself ready, and read the
original petition OF DR.. Race as already
published.
When he began to read lawyers and

orator, manifesting q deep interest in
the proceedings. G. r. Morehead took
seat well back beyond the railing and
viewed the scene before him as if he
had no particular interest in the out
come.
When Captain Beall had finished
reading Attorney Burgess came forward
sndNread his exceptions to the Race
petition and when he had completed
them the court announced that it
would first hear argument on the ex-
ceptions and then take up the answer
of defendants.
Accordingly Senator Turney pro-
ceeded with his argument in support of
the exceptions and at 8 o'clock he had
just begun to speak.

EX-CONFEDERATES
Meet Tomorrow At Charleston,

CHARLESTON, s. c., May 9.-OveI
Is, 900 visitors are estimated to have ar
rived here today for the annual reunion
OF the United Confederate Veterans,
which begins tomorrow.
Commander John B. Gordon and Ad.
jutant General George Norman are
the central figures at headquarters,
while q large slice of the reception
cake is being reserved for General Joe
Wheeler and other prominent figures
who are to take part in the proceed
ings of the next few days.
While the annual parade and other
spectacular and social features of the
encampment will naturally be the
centers of attraction for the mass of
the visitors, the veterans themselves
will be kept busy in the transaction of
q large amount of important business.
Among the matters to be taken up by
the executive department is the ques-
tion of furnishing state aid to the dis
abled and feeble veterans. The care
of the graves of the dead Confederate
soldiers will also be taken up. and it is
probable that some response will be
made to the sentiments expressed by
President Mckinley during his visit
to Atlanta, when he said he thought
the national government should under
take to establish national cemetery
for the Confederate dead.
Impartial history will be another
subject discussed by the veterans. The
movement to build a monument to JEFF
ferson Davis will be renewed and plans
arranged to accomplish the object in
view. Another matter to be discussed
is a plan for a mutual aid and benevo-
lent society for the relief of widows
and orphans of confederate soldiers.
The features OF the opening cere-
tomorrow will be the annual
address of General John B. Gordon,
and the orstion OF General Wheeler.

Do not always mean the same. A person is
said to be TIGHT when his tongue is very
loose and he can't walk on a cline which
describes the nearest distance between two

TAUT means that tightness of the horizontal
wires in a Page Fence which lasts the whole
lifetime of the fence, and does not allow it to

used for a corral. They use it to make sheep
