K. OF c. CONVENTION
Officers Elected Yesterday Con- vention to Be Held in Louisville, Ky

Officers Elected Yesterday--Next Con-
 vention to Be Held in Louisville, Ky.
 The second days session of the Ma tional council of the Knights of Colum- bus was devoted to a consideration of the report of the committee on laws which contained many important pro posed changes in the constitution of the order. The most important change reported favoralbly upon by the com nittee was a resolution to increase the amount of insurance which a member may take Under the present law each member is limited to S1 ,000. but under the terms of the change adopted by the delegates yesterday morning this sum was increased to $2,000 and $3, 1000. This change in the laws was quite gen. orally commended. as the f1ourisIhing condition of the order is evidence that it's system of insurance is good one. hence larger insurance for members will mean greater success to the order
 A recommendation was made that the annual council Of the order be held biennially, after 1905, instead of an- nually, as at present After some dis cussion the recommendation was re jeeted by the delegates.
 Other matters reported by the law committee were submitted finally to the board of directors for disposition.
 It was proposed that the next con- vention be held in 1905. This was also rejected.
 The delegates from New York recon. mended that the present plan of repre- sentation, one delegate for every 2.O00 members be changed to read one dele. gate for every 40O0 members. The measure was rejected, The election of officers resulted as ] follows:
 Supreme knight Edward T.. Hearn of South Birmingham. Mass. Deputy supreme knight-Patrick l.
