EXCURSION ON THE BAY.
Visiting Odd Fellows Enjoy Trip to
Navy Yard at Mare Island.

One of the pleasantest features OF
the encampment of the Odd Fellows
and one that will perhaps linger long
est in the memories of those fortunate
enough to enjoy it was the bay excur-
sion yesterday on the big ferry-boat
Berkeley. Ats o'clock a m. the boat
pulled out bearing at least 500 per-
sons looking forward to a day of en-
joyment. At o'clock last evening as
happy a group of excursiOnists as
ever stepped from steamers deck to
shore was landed.
Not an accident or unpleasant incl
dent marred the pleasure of the day.
The weather was nearly perfect. In
the early morning a haze hung over
the bay and shore. but about the time
the party started out the sun dispelled
this. AS the boat pulled out from her
slip the band aboard playing patriot
ic airs the last trace of fog disap-
peared.
The boat first headed for the Gold
EN- Gate and from it's decks the excur-
sionists had a splendid view of the
water front and residences on the hill
sides. Passing Angel and Alcatraz
islands and the frowning forts at
Black Point and the Presidio, the
guests looked out through the Golden
Gate and saw before them the broad
expanse of the Pacific, calm and

fighting apparatus.
A stop of three hours was made at
Mare Island and the members of the
party were taken through the work.
shops. Many of them are from the
interior and found the visit to the
navy yard a liberal education. While
the party was inspecting the shops
the band which accompanied 1T gave
a concert of patriotic airs.
Every possible courtesy was shown
the visitors. Admiral McCalla enter
tanned the members of the Sovereign
Grand Lodge at lunch. 1t was with
regret that the visitors again boarded
the Berkeley to return to this city.
The homeward trip was without in
cident. The sun shone brightly from
a cloudless sky and there was just
sufficient breeze blowing to make it
comfortable aboard the boat The
party passed close enough to Goat ISL
and to get a good view of the naval
training station there. A visit was
also made to the Union Iron Works.
The affair was managed by joint
committee of Odd Fellows and Re-
bekahs made UP as follows: Cap

Imprisoned in a hammock. Leroy
Smith, an eight-month-old baby, was
probably fatally burned yesterday
when the tent Of it's father. J. j.
Smith, located at Twelfth and Harri-
son streets, caught fire. There were
three other children under the canvas
at the time. but they escaped with
slight burns. The mother of the un-
fortunate baby was badly burned
about the face and hands when she
rushed to the rescue of her infant.
She was absent from the tent when
the fire started. She returned TO find
the canvas shelter in flames and
heard the shrieks Of her children from
within. Mrs. Smith rushed into the
burning tent and dragged out the four
elder children.
The baby was wrapped in ham
mock. When the frantic mother
reached the little one the hammock
was burning. Little Leroy was taken
to the Central Emergency Hospital.

Of representatives gathered near the
desk that bore the placard New
York These it was learned later
were preparing a dark horse that
turned out to be Buffalo, and the rep
resentatives favoring Washington cast
many distrustful glances their way.
Fully an hour was taken up in max
ing seconding speeches and showing
why other cities should not be entitled
to the next session. One of the repre-
sentatives said that if the delegates
we're to meet in New York the MEM
berS of the order would become lost
in that city's millions.
At 80 the balloting began and soon
it was announced that Washington D.
c., had won by an overwhelming ma
jority. Buffalo, the dark horse of the
contest, stood second on the list fol-
lowed closely by Philadelphia. The
votes for the various cities were as fol-
lows Washington 9S. Buffalo 20, Phila-
delphia Is, New York IL, Cleveland a.
and Montreal IL.
Over thirty reports from the States
were laid on the table to await the
action of the Sovereign Grand Lodge.
This was in the course of routine bust
ness, and occupied only a short time.
The next event of Importance was the
reporting of names by the cantons and
departments, for the decoration of
chivalry. 1t was ordered that the dec
oration of the candidates for the
honor take place in the evening at Me-
chanics' Pavilion. A second list was
submitted of candidates for the grand
decoration of chivalry, which ceremony
will take place tonight at Mechanics
Pavilion.
WILL CONSIDER AMENDMENTS.
the session will be a special order to-
morrow, to consider the addition of an
amendment to the constitution to
change the age of entrance eligibility
TO the order, from 81 to IS years The
constitution at present prescribes the
age of eligibility at 81.
Another amendment that will cause
sensation is in relation to the color line
1t is rumored that there are several
representatives in the Sovereign Grand
Lodge who are in favor of admitting
members of the negro. Asiatic and In
dian race. Should this amendment be
proposed it would preciDitate the big
gest fight in the history of the order
Many of the representatives would vote
against admitting the Japanese whose
eligibility would be guaranteed by the
new amendment, on the ground that
the order was not prepared to admit
members of an alien race.
Many representatives are in favor of
admitting negroes. This will be siren
uously opposed by the Southern dele
gates. The main question. however,
is the admission of Indians and In
dian half-breeds throughout the jur-
isdictions Of Oklahoma and Indian Ter
ritory. The question came up through
the desire of many Odd Fellows who
settled In the Territories and married
Indian squaws to have their sons ad-
mitted to the order. To bring about
this result it will be necessary to
amend the constitution. Many repre-
sentatives will oppose this, as being
the first step toward the admission of
objectionable members of the Indian
race.
On Friday there will be little busi-
ness transacted by the Sovereign
Grand Lodge as that day Is set aside
for the parade. On Saturday will oc-
cur the installation of officers and the
appointment of the remaining officers

This made the Vallejoites nervous
for few moments. but they soon re-
gained their steadiness. They executed
the manual of arms in excellent style
and went through the rest of the drill
well. Their turns were loudly ap

exceptionally well done. In dressing

move too slowly into position and the
experts made a note of this.
Watsonville's men were not far be-

They erred slightly in the center. but
the experts were the only ones who
noticed the technical mistakes. The
distances were not kept quite so well
as Vallejo kept them and in mark

WASHINGTON Is SELECTED.
Sovereign Grand Lodge Will Meet
Next Year at National
Capital.

Second in Importance to the cleo
tion of the grand officers of the In
dependent Order of Odd Fellows is the
deciding of the question as to where
to hold the next session. That ques-
ton came up for decision before yes
terday's meeting and as is usually the
case there was much rivalry between
the representatives of the cities de-
string the honor The struggle for the
selection was long and hard one and
it lasted nearly three hours. After the
votes had been counted it was found
that Washington, D. c., had been the
selection of the majority and the Odd
Fellows will meet in the capital city
the second Monday of next September.
The remainder of the session was taken
up with hearing the reports of the vari-
Gus States and the submitting of candi-
dates for the decoration of chivalry.
These reports were filed for further
consideration, none of them being
acted upon. The decorations were or
dered to be conferred in the evening
at Mechanics Pavilion.
Promptly at o'clock the repre-
sentatives filed into the hall and soon
began the work of the session. The
selection of the next meeting place
was the first business of the day. Rep
resentative Trautman of New York
started the ball rolling by placing in
nomination the city of Montreal.

was Immediately followed by Repre-
sentative Baker of California, who
proposed Sacramento. Representative
Daniel of Georgia proposed New York.
and this nomination raised the first
applause Several seconds to New

each in a short seconding speech at
tempted to portray the advantages of
meeting at the Eastern metropolis.
WASHINGTON NOMINATED.
The nomination that evoked real en-
thusiasm, however, was the mention
of Washington. Scarcely had the ap-
plause died away before several rep
resentatives were on their feet saw
ing the air and demanding to be al
lowed to second the nomination. Upon
recognition from the chair Hughes
of Maryland placed Cleveland in nomi-

many took advantage Of the music to
dance on the spacious floor of the pa
vilion. Nor was the merriment con-
fined to the floor, for in side rooms and
booths there were gathered jolly
parties.
In the green room, which has been
tastefully decorated. were gathered a
large party of young folks and pretty
girls who listened to the musical Sc
lections furnished by Miss Sue John

and quite prominent in local musical
circles. Music and dancing continued
the order of the evening until mid
