Work Of Reception Committee
The arrivals yesterday and last night
were handled as promptly as on Sat
urday night. and each special train
load OF passengers was quickly placed
upon cars which took them direct to
their hotels, where other members of
the committee assisted them in getting
assigned to their rooms without delay.

1t was an entirely local society, Or
ganzed to meet the requirements of
Father McGivney's church in New
Haven as he saw them. At the time of
it's establishment there was no thought
beyond that, no ambitious plans for the
development of an order that would
reach from sea to sea.
That was twenty-three years ago and
there were probably fifty members in
that first little band. Today there are
knights of Columbus in every state of
131, 900 on the muster roll of the society.
From the little seed of inspiration

that Father McGivney planted twenty
three years ago the idea grew and
spread like a trailing vine of beauty,
first beyond New Haven over the little
state of Connecticut, then from Con-
necticut into the neighboring states
and out and beyond their borders with
ever-increasing vigor and luxuriance
until it's tendrils have crept UP to and
beyond all our borders.
The first California council was es-
tablished in October, 1901, with mem
bership Of sixty-five. and now there
are sixteen councils in the state and a
membership of over 200O

The order of the knights of Coum-
bus is the one secret society in the
Roman Catholic church and the one
distinctly American society in the
Roman Catholic church.
The founder of the society was Rev.
Michael ]. McGivney, who was hum
BILE, devout priest in Connecticut town
who sought only to do the work that
lay nearest to his hand.
This society was established at New
Haven February 2, 1882, and on March
49, 1882, it was Incorporated under the
laws of the state of Connecticut and
called the knights of Columbus.

Francisco, Sacramento, Oakland, Santa
Cruz and other Northern California
cities. The first special arrived at 3:15
o'clock, being followed fifteen minutes
later with the second train. Each sec
ton carried nearly four hundred pas
sengers. This completes the California
specials. although it is estimated that
fully 500 persons are coming via the
steamship lines.
Secretary Frank j. Quinn of the
Northern California joint committee,
who is acting for Chairman r. p. Doo-
Ian, is at the Lankershim hotel He
said last night that the Northern Cali

least 5000 persons, citing the fact that
large number had preceded the spe-
cial trains, while at least 500 more were
coming on the steamship.

teen hours on the trip. The train was
originally scheduled to arrive at
o'clock last night, but a telegram re-
ceved by Chairman Scott of the local
executive committee yesterday in
formed him that the special was de-
layed fifteen hours and arrangements
were accordingly changed by the re-
ception committee.
The reception committee members
leave the Salt Lake depot at 8 O'Clock
this morning on a special train, going
to San Bernardino, where they will
meet the official train and escort the
national officers to the city.
On arrival at Los Angeles, the party
will be met by other members of the
reception committee, local knights and

The real work Of the convention, as
such, opens tomorrow, when the dele

are up before the assembly; the cleo
ton of officers and the determining of
the status of the associate members.
There seems almost no opposition
to the reelection of Supreme Knight
Hearn, and he will likely land it again
without quiver for the seventh time.
Some talk of Joseph Scott of this city
for the office has developed, but he
laughs at it as a compliment only.

GERMAN CITIZEN SUDDENLY Elk.
PRED AT AN EARLY HOUR
THIS MORNING.
Samuel n. Erwin, Pioneer Resident
Of Prescott, Passed Away Sudden
ly Yesterday Afternoon.

Joseph Zaunmiller, a we'll known
German resident of Walla Walla, died
suddenly at his residence On Poplar
street at 8 o'clock this morning. AL
though he had been a sufferer from
asthma for several years, he was
Lot very ill and his death was
wholly unexpected. A little before 3
o'clock this morning he complained of
{, severe pain in the region of his
heart and called Mrs. Zaunmiller. She
summoned DR.. c. N. Suttner, but Mr.
Zaunmiller passed away before he ar
rived. He was conscious up to the
last and within five minutes from the
time he experienced the pain he quietly
passed away.
The deceased was born in Germany
and was AZ years of age. He came to
Walla Walla in 1890 and was for a
long time employed in the mailing
department of the Betz brewery. Of
late he has been farming on a small
scale. He leaves a widow and three
sons. He was a member of the Catho-
lie Knights of America and the Walla
Walla Maennerchor.
Arrangements for the funeral have
rot yet been made, but the CathO-
lie Knights will probably have charge.
