K. OF P. ANNUAL
GRAND LODGE.
Will Assemble in Trenton To.
morrow Amendment to
be Considered.

Trenton, Feb. 14:-Tomorrow the
thirty-seventh annual convention Of
the New Jersey Grand Lodge. knights
of Pythias, will convene In Masonic
temple. The session will close Thurs
day afternoon. The grand lodge will
consider al amendment to the grand
lodge constitution, altering the man
ner of electing grand lodge officers.
Under the present system grand lodge
offices are voted for annually by 1.-THE
past ~chancellors Of the subordinate
lodges, and tho candidate for each
Office receiving the majority of all
votes cost is declared elected.
There is usually no contest, for any
Of the Offices except that Of grand
outer guard, to which several candi-
dates aspire every year. 1t is, there.
fore. seldom thas q candidate receives
a majority which necessitates the
holding of a new election by the
grand lodge. The above system has
been found unsatisfactory in many
ways, therefore the proposed amend
ment, which provides that the candi.
dates receiving the largest number of
| votes in the subordinate lodges shall
he declared elected. Under the pres
emf system it often happens that the
| decision of the past claucellors in the
! subordinate lodges Is reversed by the
| grand lodge representatives.

NAP AvERTS PERIL
OF FLOOD FROM PATERSON

The dar ger of a disastrous flood which
threatened Paterson and tie Passaic VAL
ley was averted yesterday by the sudden
cold. Some Of the streets of Paterson
were already flooded Sunday night, and
the river continued to rise until 8 O'Clock
Yesterday morning. Up to that time ii
had Iisen greatly. Considerable damage
was done to the lower floors of mills, but
this was caused by the choking up of
sewers by snow and excessive rainfall.
Many of the manufacturers had ordered
valuable stock removed from the lower to
the upper floor, but later in the day,
when it was apparent that all danger was
over, the usual order of business was re-
sumed.

NEW YORK. July 19.--Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Krotel was informed
today that man pretending to repre-.
sent Town Topics had tried to black
mail Giovanni Morosini banker.
Morosini, according to the story, was
asked to subscribe $2500 for certain
publication, with the alternative Of be-
ing written up in Town Topics.
Morosini used his boot on the man
at the top staircase. Thereafter it
is said there appeared in Town Topics
paragraphs not complimentary to one
Of Morosini's daughters.
A subpoena was served on Morosini
today and he telephoned to Krotel that
he would be at the district attorneys
office tomorrow. 1t is said there is in
existence letter in which demand
for money was made. and an effort
is now being made to secure the letter.
which is said to be signed by a well
known writer on social topics.
Leading Families involved
From various sources it was learned
that many society leaders, including the
following persons were subscribers to
Fads and Fancies," the Town Topics
book not yet published. Chauncey M.
Depew. $25OO; ]. ]. Astor. $500; Perry
Belmont $500; Clarence H. Maclxay.
s2500
From a superficial examination OF
the books of Town Topics 1t was not
discovered that anybody had paid more
that s25OO, except Mrs. Coils P. Hun
tington who paid $4,000.
The records showed, however. that a
number OF persons had made additional
'stibscriptsons after putting cp their firstE
$500. An attempt has been made BY
Krotel to. have a talk with former
Judge Gary OF the steel trust. His
name was mentioned by Ahle, the So
licitor, in connection with Broker Post.
and it is alleged that Post and Ahle
said he had obtained the $500 subscrip-
tion to "Fads and Fancies' accredited
to Gary by threatening to have story
published in Town Topics.
Presiding Justice Joseph H. Deuel. Of
Speclai sessions now says ne mas no
objection to the district attorney exam
lining the books of Town Topics to find
out what his connection with the con-
Germ is. Deuel's statement is taken to
mean that there will soon be complete
exposure of facts and figures relating
to the publication and distribution OF
'Fads and Fancies'' and revelation
OF the disposition made of the mys-
terious $4,000 profit on the books.

his patient will lose the sight of al

NEW YORK, July ia row be-
tween Col w. c. Greene and the oppos-
ing faction in the Greene Consolidated
Gold Mining company continues. AL
though Greene has gone to Mexico,
there is nothing to prevent the other
side from making as many adverse re-
ports on the property as it chooses.
E.. B. Tustin, who secured the Glover
report, which declared that only $500
worth of gold had ever been taken from
the mine, published two more equally
pessimistic reports today. They were
signed by two mining engineers. James
Lindsay and w. e. Mitchell
Lindsay and Mitchell say the cost of
operating the maximum output of 200
yards of gravel from the mines is about
1854 per day, and that their examina-
'tion showed that only eight cents could
be obtained from each cubic yard. This
would mean a net loss of $S48 a day.
They also declare that not more than
$1,000 has been mined to date. They rec
commended that the property be shut
down at once and material be sold for
what 1t will bring.
Greene has estimated the output of
the mines up to date at about 100000
Nearly that much has already been
paid In dividends. $4,000 having been
paid Saturday.

Chairman Morton gave out a state
ment In which he said;
THE reason for Mr.. Jordan's re-

sactions Of the society which am in
vestigating."
The following was given out from Mr..
Mortons office tonight:
IN. H. stranahan declines to serve
as a member OF the board of directors

ment to the society's charter providing

shares Of $40 each instead of 1000 shares
of 500 each; that no person except a
policy holder shall be director; that
only one share shall be held by any
single person, who must be a policy
holder; that at an annual election
seven policy holders who have not pre-
viously served shall be chosen, and
that trustees be directed and empow-
cred to offer for sale at $1,000 a share
the 5000 sharese contemplated by the
amended charter to the 5000 largest
policy holders.
In the event of any such offer not
being accepted, they shall continue to
