City-Reports Heard mt business
Meeting-The Banquet.

One of the largest semi meetings
ever held by the Grand Lodge /. o. o. +.
began yesterday morning at o'clock. The
attendance has far exceeded any previous
meeting, there being over one thousand
members present and also many members
who came just for pleasures sake. One
reason attributed for the increased num-
Der this year was the excursion which was
run to Greensburg yesterday. where the
new home was being dedicated. The dedi-
cation was the chief event of the day, thou
sands from all over the State being there.
When the gavel sounded for order at
o'clock the Grand Lodge hall was crowded
to its capacity and many members stood
near the outer doors. Grand Master Chap
pell introduced Grand Sire n. s. Pinker-
ton, of Worcester, Mass. and he gave a
short talk which was listened to with
great interest. At the conclusion of Mr..
Pinkerton's address Grand Master Chappell
delivered his semi-annual address, review
ing the work of the Grand Lodge. He also
complimented the members on the manner
in which they had carried out the instruc-
lions given at the last meeting concern
ing uniform ritualistic ceremonies. In re-
gard to the report on the new hall he said
he had nothing to report for the present,
but the order was to be congratulated for
having such a fine property without large
debt.
Grand Secretary Leedy followed with
his report showing the number of new
lodges instituted since the last meeting
TO be seven and the total effective lodges
in the State to be 652. The report then
spoke of the Rebekahs. In this branch of
the order Secretary Leedy said there were
many delinquent lodges and he suggested
that a number of charters be taken up.
Grand Treasurer John +. Wallick's report
set forth briefly the items contained in the
grand secretary's report. An invoice of
the supplies was taken and the number of
veteran jewels issued and to whom issued.
The report showed that the ratio of deaths
to membership is one to 1922. The aver
age cost to lodges for relief was SLIT; for
relief and expenses. s.. Al; for expenses only,
$1.63 The report showed the order to be in
a good financial condition. The grand trus-
tees-C. c.. Binkley, Benjamin Franklin
in which they alluded TO the new Grand
Lodge hall, saying they were averse to
disposing of the present property until they
had acquired all the stock Of the hall as
ISOLATION or had entered into negotiations
for new site more suitable to the require
ments.
The report of the Grand Lodge hall asso-
station showed the total expenditures to
have been $5,30934; balance In treasury,
$7254. At noon the session adjourned to
allow the members to go to Greensburg.
boarded the special train to attend the ex-
ercises. In the crowd that went were many
members in uniform and they presented a
pretty sight.

Tired and Dusty.

There was tired and dusty crowd of
men who came back from Greensburg yes
terday evening and filed up the stairs to the
lodge rooms at the Grand Lodge hall. The
only work accomplished at the meeting
was the hearing of reports of the commit
tees on appeals and grievances. The man.
ner In which these reports were hurried
through caused many Of the members to
raise a storm of protest. After the meet
ing little groups of members stood about
the corridors denouncing the action of the
grand officers for the tactics resorted to,
which they allege were for the purpose of
favoring some few lodges or members. The
informal dinner which was scheduled In
honor of the grand sire was postponed on
account of the worn out feeling of most of
the members when they arrived here from
Greensburg. At the session this morning
the Grand Lodge will get down to work in
earnest, for there is considerable work be-
fore 1t. and IL is the opinion of some MEM
bers that it all cannot be accomplished at
this session.

THOMAS HUPP FRANTIC
When the Police Appeared mt His
House-Taken to Station.

Thomas Hupp. of 1886 Barth avenue, Gre
ated a great disturbance in the vicinity of
his home last evening, and caused the BIZ
cycle policemen, Bray and Losh, consider
able trouble when they went to send him
to the police station. When the officers
approached the house he was sitting on
the steps, but as soon as he saw them he
arose and began cursing and threatening
them and his family. He threw a rock at
Losh. knocking his cap of. Another rock
struck Bray on the hand. They finally got
the handouts on him. and both the officers
bore a number OF scratches where he had
kicked them.
At the police station he kept up a con-
slant volley of oaths and threats against
his family, and was, after time, taken
into the dungeon by four patrolmen. 1t
was said at home that he had frequently
become violent, and at such times whipped
various members of the family and threat

the intention to organize town clubs. town
