Ten THOUSAND
TEnPLARS MARCH
San Francisco Witnesses q
Fine Demonstration of the
Plumed Fraternity

SAN FRANCISCO, Calsa Sept. e.
Ten thousand sir knights marched for
miles through the gaily decorated city
streets today, inspired by the music
of forty bands. The orders OF forna-
ton included twelve of these grand
divisions. The parade started in the
heart Of the city, wound in and out of
the down town banking district, thence
for twelve blocks up theI main thor
oughfare of Market STREET.-THE Van Ness
avenue, where grand Stands were
erected. From one of these Most Emil
nent Grand Master Stoddard, with the
chief officers and members of the
grand encampment, reviewed the pa
rade. From another stand close by
Gov. George E. Pardee, Mayor
Schmidt, the grand master, officers of
the grand lodge F. and A. M, the M.
E. high priest and officers of the grand
chapter of r. A. M, grand council r. and
S. NJ, also saw the procession pass In
review.
The parade moved at 1 O'clock. 1t
was headed by a squadron of mounted
police, Sir Knight George w. Whitman,
chief of police, commanding comnan-
der of the parade Eminent Sir G. l..
Field, grand captain general OF Call
fornia, and his chief of staff, e. Sir
George D. Clark. In this section were
two carriages, the first carrying Most
Eminent Sir Henry Bates Stoddard,
grand master of the grand encampment
of KNIGHTS Templar of the United
States: the: Earl of Eustbn, grand
master of the great priory OF England
and Wales. The latter was the center
towards which all eyes were focused,
the throngs seeming to be eager to
catch a glimpse of the noble gentle
man who represented King Edward
of England.
In the second carriage of the first
division rode r. E. Sir George MAYHEM
Moulton, deputy grand master of the
grand encampment, and VIE. Charles
F. Matter. K. c. T.. grand vice chan
cellor of the great priory.
Other officers of the grand encamp-
ment followed in carriages and after
them followed the main divisions and
the long line of marchers,
The parade was one of the finest ever
seen in San Francisco. 3 It occupied
nearly three hours in passing a given
point. The advance along the line of
march of the more largely represented
eastern communicates was signalized
by continuous cheers and when the
band heading the Kentucky contingent
struck up Dixie the enthusiasm of
the spectators was unbounded.
New York, Pennsylvania and lille
nois made especially fine shoWings,
though SO many Communicates exceIled

parison is impossible. AS was to have
been expected, the knights who reside

DEFER ACTION IN
ROAD FUND MIDDLE
County BoardP ostpones Open.
ing Bids for Repairs Until
Mayor Is Present

That road and bridge fund muddle puz-
zled the county commissioners at their
meeting yesterday to such an extent
that they eventually agreed that it
would be best for all concerned, particu-
subject for the present and take sides
with neither County Attorney Kane nor
County Auditor Krahmer
Messrs. Gray. Nash. Pottgieser, Wright
and Powers all had their say in nice and
quiet way, deploring the mix in which af-
fairs are at present, and 1t did seem for
a few minutes as though the commits
sioners found themselves in a fix where
1t would be necessary to take a position
one way or the other. There was the
opinion of the county attorney that 1t
was necessary that the money be turned
over to the township officers. and on the
other hand the action of Auditor Krahmer
in refusing to sign the warrants had to be
considered.
Auditors Position Peculiar
1t was the opinion Of Mr.. Nash that
the auditor occupied a peculiar position.
After having asked the attorney general
of The state for an opinion on the ques-
ito. and being turned down he persisted
in his refusal to follow the legal course
pointed out by the county attorney. But
being a candidate for office, he further
stated that he did not conceive that 1t
was the duty of the commissioners to in
terfere True. the roads need repairing,
but the cold weather will soon come and
the dangerous holes will be filed with
ice
AS a candidate for sheriff. Mr.. Gray
was sure that the roads need attention.
for he has been driving over them dur
ing the past week or two and is thorough
" familiar with their defects. But he
did not feel that the commissioners have
any power in the matter.
Commissioners Sidestep
Several of the commissioners fingered
the envelopes containing the bids for road
repairs gingerly, and looked from one 10
another in an apparently vain effort to
find an excuse for delaying action. Con-
siderable damage had been done by the
recent rains, it was true, but no matter
in which way the decision was made enc
mics would be created, a result far from
desirable in view of the nearneSS or the
primary election.
II think Mayor Smith ought to be here
when we open these bids" suggested MIC
Pottgieser. Frightening.
The suggestion was received with great
favor by all but Messrs. Wright ana
Powers. Mr.. Gray was noticeapiy pleased.
and Mr.. Nash expressed his admiration OF
Mr. Pottgieser's foresight. This made a
majority in favor Of delay, and wnen the
Pottgieser suggestion was put INTO d
formal motion it was quickly carried.
In order that the board might be con-
sistent, the bids for plumbing to be done
in the court house were also postponeo
until the mayor is present.

The Cape to Cairo railroad, the in
ception Of the late Cecil Rhodes, has
reached the southern bank Of the Fam
besi River at the Victoria Falls. The
first section Of the project Is now
realized, over 1900 miles Of track hay-
ing been laid down, stretching from
Cape Town to this point. The con-
struction of the single-spa'1 bridge,
which is to carry the track across the
Zambesi gorge at height OF 40
feet. is now being proceeded with, and
the second section Of the railroad will
then be commenced. This section Will
run from the north bank Of the Broken
Hill. in the direction of Lake Tan
canyika. a distance of $50 miles. Be
yond tlat point no definite course has
been decided, though there are several
projected routes under consideration.
According to Cecil Rhodes, this trans
continental railroad was to be 800
miles in length. While the track has
been steadily constructed northward
from Cape Town, the Egyptian end
has been simultaneously proceeded
with. and it is now 400 miles south
of Khartoum. About another 200O
miles Of track has therefore yet to be
laid before through railroad commune
cation is established between. Cape

said Mr.. Carver, that the securities
held as a trust fund, would soon be
released and that In a short time the
various obligations would De paid.

had a conference with Mr.. Reynolds,
but he refused to disclose any infor-
nation as to the securities in his
care"
