The experiments recently made at

as effective as sunlight on the growth

subject for serious consideration by all

The results or the experiments are
astonishing inasmuch as they show
cOnclusiyely the great increase OF
growth attained by supplemcnting

REPORT OF GRAND SIRE WRIGHT
Only Part Of tho Sovereign Grand
Lodge Organization Which Shows
In Membership, Is the Militant
Branch-RadicaI Measures May be
Taken to Improve Its Condition.

Philadelphia. Sept. 1S.-Disagreeable
opening today of the eighty-frst an
nual convention Of the sovereign grand
lodge Of the Independent Order of Oda
Fellows. A fine rain falling made the
atmosphere warm and humid. The
initial exercises were held In Lulu
temple, which was entirely inadequata
to accommodate the crowds. Every
jurisdiction of the order in the United
States was represented at the con-
clave. The report of Grand Sire Wright
shows the total subordinate lodge
membership to be 1,217,145; encamp-
ment membership, 177,S39; Rebekah
membership. 474,059; number of SUI
bordinate lodges, 14,S15: expenditures
for relief. $4,634,000; total revenue,
$13,639, 900: resources, $37645,000. Con-
tinuing the report, he states: The
militant branch alone in our organiZa-
tion fails to show any substantial pro-
gress. There has been a loss In menu
bership during the year of little over
300. This condition of affairs, in my
judgment, demands immediate atten-
tion and perhaps radical measures.
According to Grand Sire Wright,
among the especially important mat
ters to be considered during the con-
clave is the subject of the patriarchs
militant branch. The test of eligibili-
ty to that branch is membership in the
encampment branch, which has about
10000 members. about twelve per cent
Of whom are in the partriarchs mill
tant. The proposition Is to make mem-
bership in the subordinate lodges the
basis of admission to the militant. II
the change be made the militant would
become tho strongest uniformed fra
ternal organization in the world. The
grand lodge will consider the question
of extending the order to Porto Rico.
San Domingo and Scotland.

DOOR CLOSED TO swlNDLER.
Romaine Daurisnae, Ex-conict, Must
Return to France.

New York, Sept. 18.-Romaine Daur-
ignac, brother Of Nine. Therese Hum
bert, now serving a sentence in France
on swindling charges in connection
with the Crawford estate, was order
ed deported yesterday by the board Of
inquiry of the immigration depart
ment after a hearing on Ellis islam!
Daurignac arrived in New York Sat-
urday on French line steamer and in
an interview said that he came to this
country partly for purpose of observa-
ton and travel.
The law under which Daurignac was
ordered sent back to France yesterday
forbids the entry into the United
States of a man who has served a
sentence in prison for other than a
political offense. Daurignac was con-
victed in France of irregular practices
in connection with certain insurance
deals. He claimed, however, that his
offense was of a political nature.
II was charged" he said, with be-
ing an accessory to the forming of an
unlawful corporation and was tried and
was sentenced to two years and a half
for that offense. My conviction was
litical enemies. My grandfather and
his father before him were both French
senator's and it was thru his enemies
that was convicted. ! had no idea
that my serving term in French
prison would bar me from landing in
your country
Daurignac was taken from the
steamship La Touraine yesterday on
the barge which took the steerage pas
sengers to Ellis island. At Ellis is
land, in answer to questions he gave
his pedigree and made no attempt to
conceal the fact that he was an ex-
convict.
When after brief hearing the chair
man curtly remarked, "Ordered deport-
ed" he simply shrugged his should
ers.
"Ah, that is what I expected" he
said.
He was taken to the detention pen
and probably will be sent back on the
La Touraine when she sails Thursday.

Special to Times Republican.
Vail. Sept 18.-The members Of the
Brotherhood Of American Yeoman and
their families held their annual picnic
at the country home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Clark White, Friday, when a good siz-
ed crowd was present. A fine picnic
dinner was spread on tables under the
shade trees Of the front yard, and this
was followed by many minor games
and sports, in which boys and girls,
men and women, took part. A ball
game was played also, which was rath-
er one-sided. 1t was while this was
being played that Miss HERNIA Hulce
sustained a broken collar bone. While
running after ball she fell on her arm
and shoulder.
Charles McGill also had two ribs
cracked, in the forenoon, by having a
horse step on him, but did not suffer
much. While playing ball he was
struck in the same side by ball,
which made him unconscious for a
time, and he had to be carried to the
house. A physician was called and
pronounced two brikeu ribs.
