PYTHIANS IN SESSION.
Supreme Lodge Commences Its Con-
clave in San FrnncixcO-The
Opening Proceedings.

San Francisco, Aug. 13.-The bicn-
MEL convention of the knights Of
pythias was formally opened Tues
day in the Palace hotel. Nearly $50
delegates were seated when Supreme
Chancellor Ogden Ii. Fethers raped
for order. There were few vacant
seats, and these will be filled before
the second days session opens. The
absent supreme representatives have
all telegraphed that they will be here
as soon as the delayed specials are
able to move. After the session was
called to order Supreme Representa-
tive Walker c. Graves, of California,
assembled the rostrum, and in behalf
of Chairman Charles l.. Patton, of
the executive committee, delivered
welcoming speech to the assembled
knights. Gov. Henry L. Gage sent
his regrets at not being able to at
tend in person to receive the visitors
to California, and sent a message of
welcome, which was read by Myron
Wolfe. Supreme Chancellor Fethers
responded.
At the afternoon session reports
were read. Supreme Chancellor
Fethers, in his annual report, said
that on December 81, 1901, the order
had 540,13S members.
The report of r. V. L. White, SUI
preme keeper of records and seal,
shows that the total number of subor-
dinate lodges December 81, 1901, was
1000, the net gain during the year be-
ing 142 lodges.
The report of Maj. Gen. James R.
Carnahan, commander of the uniform
rank, set forth that there are S5s COM
panies in good standing, organized
into 80 regiments and "a brigades.
There are in addition 25 separate COM
panies, and warrants have been issued
for 20 more.
The report of the endowment rank
will show reduction of the indebted
ness from 100000 to $25O,o0O. The
contested claims have been cut from
IS to ten. The receipts of the rank
now aggregate $2,7oo,0oO per year.

THE ELKS.

Warmly Welcumcti-EIcct
New Officers

Salt Lake, Utah, Aug. 13.-Utah and
Salt Lake City extended royal well
come to the hosts OF visiting eks at
the Mormon tabernacle Tuesday. Fac
ing many representatives from every
section of the country, Judge o. W..
Powers, of Salt Lake, babe them well
come to the city and all it contained,
while Gov. Heber NJ. Wells laid before
them as their own the state of Utah
and the riches thereof The meeting,
which followed an immense military
and civic parade, marked the formal
opening of the annual reunion of the
grand lodge of elks and was attended
by elks in such numbers that even the
capacity of the great hall of worship
was taxed to the utmost. Elks were
present from practically every state

forming, according to Grand Exalted
Ruler Pickett. one of the best and
most representative gatherings of the
fraternity he had ever seen.
The meeting of the grand lodge was
held in Assembly hall in the afternoon,
and after the annual report of Grand
Exalted Ruler Pickett had been de-
livered and other reports presented,
the election of grand officers for the
ensuing years was taken up. This re-
suited as follows:
Grand Exalted Ruler-George A. Cronk.
Omaha
Grand Leading K.ight-W B. vrock,
Lexington, Ky.
Grand Loyal Knight-Judge A. H Pick
ems, Denver
Grand Lecturing Knight-Joseph E.
Henning. Anderson. Ind.
Grand Secretary-George Reynolds, Sag
inaw Mich.
Grand Treasurer-E. S. orris. Mead
vile, Pa.
Grand Tyler-Charles Kaufman. Ho-
boken, N. j.
Grand Trustee. D. o'shea, Boston.
Grand Exalted Ruler Pickett took
strong grounds against the growing
practice of holding street carnivals
and fairs. These enterprises, he
held, were more productive of harm
than good to the order, and he rec
commended that they be either regu-
lated or even altogether prohibited.
The report of the secretary showed
the order to be in an exceedingly
prosperous condition. An increase
in membership of about 10000 during
the past year was shown, bringing
the total up to about $4,000. The
number of elk lodges in the United
States was reported at sos, an in
crease of SIS during the year. This
without an effort to increase either
the membership or number of
lodges. The treasurer's report
showed the organization to be very
prosperous financially. An adjourned
session of the grand lodge was held
in the evening, at which a number of
minor reports were heard and other
routine business disposed of.

RIVER TO BE ABANDONED.
The Government Will Likely Give VI

Sioux City, Ia, Aug. 11.-Beaten in
its efforts to control the treacherous
stream the United States is about to
abandon the Missouri river to it's fate
and give it up as 4 means of transpor.
tation. Railroads have grabbed the

ing sandbars, pulling snags and try.
ing to hold the restless river in fixed
channel is not justified by the volume
of business and will surrender. Capt.
II. NJ. Chittenden, chief of United
States engineers for the Missouri river,
who replaced the Missouri river COM
mission, believes the career Of the Mis-
souri, as means of transportation is
at an end. The abandonment of the
Missouri is foreshadowed in his am
nual report. The millions spent in
an effort to make the Missouri per-
manent canal for commerce have been
washed away like the fertile acres
along the treacherous stream. 1t is
of no use and the government evident
ly wants to give it up. That the Mis-
souri, river cannot be kept open for
traffic without snagging was recog-
nized by congress. For the upper Mis-
souri, river an estimate of $4,000
year was made in 1890. Since that time
$376,144 has been spent to keep the
upper channel clear.

TO SUCCEED GRAY.
President Appoints Chief Justice
Holmes, of Massachusetts, to
Supreme Bench.

Oyster Bay, Aug, 12.-President
Roosevelt late Monday afternoon an
nounced that he had appointed Hon.
Oliver Wendell Holmes chief justice
OF the supreme court of Massachu-
setts, to be an associate justice of
the supreme court of the United
States, vice Mr.. Justice Gray, re-
signed.
Judge Holmes, whom the president
has selected as Mr.. Justice Gray's
successor, is one of the most dis
tinguished lawyers and jurists OF
Massachusetts. His career on the
bench, particularly as chief justice
of the Massachusetts supreme court,
has attracted wide attention. Like
Justice Gray, he is native of Mas
sachusetts.
The resignation of Justice Gray
was due to i'll health. Several
months ago he suffered stroke of
apoplexy, which some time later was
followed by another. He has not APP
peared on the bench since he was
stricken the first time. His advanced
age-74 years-told against his re-
covery with serious force. Realiz-
ing that he probably never would be
able again to assume the place which
he so long had filled with distin-
guished ability and honor, he de-
cided short time ago to tender his
resignation to the president. With
the exception of Mr.. Justice Harlan,
he served on the bench of the Unit
ed States supreme court longer than
any of his present colleagues. He
was appointed an associate Justice
by President Arthur on December 10,
1881, his service extending, there
fore, through a period of nearly 21
years.
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes is a
son of the author, Oliver Wendell
Holmes, and has been justice of the
Massachusetts supreme court since
1882 He was born in Boston in 1S41,
and was educated at the public schools
and Harvard college and Harvard law
school. Immediately after his gradu-
alton from Harvard he enlisted in the
Twelfth Massachusetts, regiment, and
was wounded at Antietam and again
at Fredericksburg, where he was mus
tered out as brevet lieutenant colonel.
He took. up the law after the war
and edited the twelfth edition of
"Kent's Commentaries" and for three
years was editor of the American Law
Review. He was for time one of the
law faculty at Harvard. He served as
associate justice of the supreme court
until 1899, when he was made chief JUS
tice.
Beverly, Mass, Aug. 12.-Chief JUS
tice Oliver Wendell Holmes was in
formed of his appointment to the
United States supreme bench at his
summer home in Beverly Farms. Mon
day night. He was asked if he would
accept, and he replied: ooh, yes;
shall, no doubt, accept it." Further
than that he did not care to talk.

bug. The torch was applied to five
buildings during the day, and though
the actual fire loss will not exceed
$4,000, with an insurance of about
$4,000, the flames at one time threat
ened to sweep large section of the
city. The police arrested Edward
Flanagan, 20 years Of age, residing at
800 First avenue, and charged him with
being the incendiary. They claim to
have direct evidence against him.
Shortly after his arrest the mutter-
ings of the crowd made it necessary,
as a precautionary measure, to remove
the prisoner to the county Jail for
safe keeping. Since then Flanagan
has refused to say word.

STREETER is OUSTED.
Under Order of Court Deputies De-
molish Capitol of "District Of
Lake Michigan"

Chicago, Aug. 13.-With the ruins of
the tent which he had styled the cap
itol of the 'District of Lake Michigan"
lying on the ground beside him, and a
force of deputy sheritfs making more
complete the scene of destruction,
Capt. George Wellington Streeter
Tuesday afternoon declared that he
would not leave the district which he
calls his own. "I'm here, and I'm go
ing to stay here" said Capt. streeter,
after Deputy Sheriff Spears and five
deputies acting under him had torn
down the tent which marked the abid-
ing place of the autccrat of Streeter-
vile. The demolition of the Streeter
buildings was done in obedience to a
writ of restitution issued some days
ago by Judge Chytraus in the litiga-
tion involving the Healy and Strceter
claims to the portion of the district Of
Lake Michigan along Chestnut street
between Lincoln Park boulevard and
Lake Shore drive.
The litigation which preceded the is
suance of the writ has been watched
with interest by those familiar with
the history of the north shore tract.
Streeter contended in the court that
his right to possession of the tract was
superior to that of the landowners
who claimed il as accretions TO their
holdings. In the hearing of the case,
which was had before Master in Chan
Gerry Browning, evidence was SUBJ
mitted by Streeter to show that he had
acquired title to the land by what he
terms "discovery." The jurisdiction
of the court was disputed by Capt.
Streeter and in the ruling made by
Judge Chytraus some days ago the
court expressly declared that the jur-
isdiction was complete over the prop
erty. The property in question has
been the bone of contention in more
than one contest both legal and forci-
