A Deficit of $225, 600 That Must

Great Order Will
Raise Deficit.

John A. Hinsey, former president Of
the board of control of the endowment
rank, Knights OF Pythias, sppesred be-
fore the supreme lodge Thursday and
admitted the report submitted Tuesday
to be truo showing a deficit OF 1925 600
which must be made good if the insur
aucc features of the order is to continue
This report shows that the affairs of tho
endowment rank under Hiuseys man
agemept drifted into practical insol-
vency. The former president of the
board OF control declared he had done
his best to keep the treasury in sound
condition but that death claims had
mounted up, Investments had turned
out failures and it had been frequently
necessary to overdtaw the ranks accou /. t
at the bank. The report, which was
compiled by the present board of con-
troll. excepting Hiusey, does not charge
the latter and Others with misusiug the
funds, but states that they were mis-
used. Hinsey occupied the floor dur
ing the entire forenoon session of the
investigating committee.
To reporters Hinsey said:
am prepared to defend my sd
minis.ration against any aud oil c)mers.
My coudu,t Of the Office WAS perfectly
open and above board The invest
ments were good aud legitim ste aud all
will turn out all right.
John A. Hinsny was ordered We'd
nesiay night by the supreme lodge OF
the Knights of PytLias to appear be-
fore that body and shoE cause why he
should not be expelled. This folloEs
as direct result of the alleged irregu-
lsritie3 which the new management oil
the endowment rauk has found in the
books under his twelve years admins
! tration as president of the board OF con-
troll. The supreme lodge of the
Kniahts OF Pythias adopted by a vote
of $50 to the report of the supreme
! chancellor, with all its criticisms of Mr.
Hinseys management. and ordered il

condition OF tho endowment rank.

In addition to this a resolution is be

so that moro funds will be provided
to meet death claims and enough in

create a surplus in the future.

consider plan to assess all Knights OF

benefit Of tho rank. Tne lower assess.

WILLING TO BALANCE ACCOUNTS.
Russia Will Vacate Raised Tariff if
u 8. Will Do the Same.

Another important change has oc-
cured between tee Russian government
and the United States relative to the
tariff. The Russian minister Of finance
NJ. DsWitte, has proposed that Russia
will vacste all the additiousl duties
levided on American goods since tho i'm
United States will vacate it's action on
the sugar differenti,l To this Score
tsry Gage has replied that the offor Of
the Russian government cannot be ac,
.cepted rs the question of tho sugar
difie.catial is now in the hands of the
court. thus preoluding action by the
executive branch.
The proposition Of the Russian min
lister Of finance was the result of
Secretary Hays note of about two
weeks ago. In that note Mr.. Hay
pointed out that the action taken as to
petroleum was not new, nor was it
meant to have any connection with the
previous action of the government on
sugar. This appears to have recon
ciled Russian Off ,isls in their view
that the petroleum order was only an
other step in the policy previously
taken respecting sugar.
NJ. DeWitte's response is not long,
but 1t is quite to the point. 1t makes
no further issue as to the petroleum
order. The chief attention is given to
sugar and the specific order is mado to
vaoate Immediately the increased du
ties which Russia has levied, If tho
United States will vscate its action on
sugar This would amount to re-
establishing tho status quo which ex-
listed before the United States took its
initial action relative to Russia.
The Russian proposition was COM
municated to Secretary Gage, who re-
spondei promptly that as the sugar
question is now before the courts it ia
not possible for him to avail himself OF
the Russian suggestions. Thus the
matter stands.
Tho reductions which would have re-
suited under NJ. DsWitte's tender are
those affecting cast iron wares, manu-
faotures of iron and steel, boiler work
tools for artists, factories and work.
shops, gas aud water meters, motors
aud dynamos, sewing machines, port
able engines, not including throshing
machines, fire engines, aud other ma.
obinery of iron and steel; also white
resin, galipot, brewers pitch and
bicycles.

Navy Recruits.

Recruits for Uacle Sans navy are
arriving almost daily at the Port Roayal
Training ststion. Some forty men and
boys from the upper section of South
Ca1olina who had bsen enlisted as
Landsmen and apprentices by recruit
ing party which left Beaufort for
Columcis. s. c., week ago have been
assigned to duty aboard the training
ship Topeka. Many of the apprentices
are mere boys in their teens who have
been resigned by their parents or guar.
dians TO the government until they
arrive at twenty. one years of age. Most
OF these men and boys hall from the
Pieumont section of South Carolina
and have never before seen salt water
and consequently their observations are
often very ammusing to their more ex-
peTienced ship mates. One incident
that caused deal of amusement was
related to your correspondent by an eye
witness. A number of landsmen were
instructed to get into a small center
which lay along the port side of the
Topeka, they complied in an awkward
manner and when botswsin's mate
took his seat In the stern of the croft
and gave the command. up oars each
of the eight landsmen seized a metal
oar lock in his hand and hurled it in
the bottom OF the boat with such force
IS to almost spring the cutten boards.
The lads are being well treated, how.
ever, by their superior officers on ship
board and will soon learn the ropes in
spite of their sWksrdness which is not
surprising when the fact that they have
never seen the ocean is taken into con-
sideration.
