vance guard OF delegates to the national
convention OF the Knights of Columbus be-
gan arriving on today's trains and was re-
celved by various committees. The conven-
tion will continue throughout the week.
Headquarters for the registration of ma
tional delegates and members Of the order,
Of whom about 1900 are expected, were
opened tonight in the Knights OF Columbus
building
Tomorrow will be given UP to receptions

Gil will reconvene to complete business
taken up at the earlier sitting. On Friday
the fourth degree of the order will be ex-
emplihed. the chairs being occupied by some
of the most prominent district masters OF

At the national council the chief items OF
business will be the selection of next years

Chicago and jamestown, Va, are the ap-
plicants. and the election of four national
directors. Joseph c. Pelletier OF Boston and
William s. McNamary of Boston, and

taken at the Los Angeles session ~ year

on insurance matters. The four incorpor-
ators are Daniel Colwell. the present ma
tional secretary; William NJ. Geary, DIR.
Matthew c. OConnor and Cornelius T. Drls-
coll, all OF this city. The action OF the ma

| ing equal representation TO members OF a
fraternsl organization The election of ma
| tional officers does not come up until next
year. Joseph Scott OF Los Angeles. with

the California body TO rest its case on this
plea Mr.. Scott will make on the floor oi
the convention.
