RED MEN SEE
THE PIE MANSION
Great Council Met There
to Consider Purchase of
Property as Home

The Great Council of Delaware, I'M
proved order OF Red Men. is meeting
in special session at Newark this af-
ternoon. The object OF the session is
To consider the purchase Of the Pie
mansion there as a permanent home
for aged and INDECENT Red Men.
Edward V. Baker, OF selbyviile, great
sachem, is persiding and a large num-
Der Of Red Men are attending. Early
in the afternoon the mansion was open
ed for inspection and the Red Men
were delighted with the property.
Their option on it's purchase at 81. .OO1
holds good until May 10. The Great
Council has sufficient funds in haud
to make the purchase and only awaits
the sanction Of the Great Council mem
bers before closing the deal II was
said to-day that the building would
likely be purchased.
The masion is elegantly situated on
the road leading from the F., B. and
w. station 10 Newark The house,
which contains twenty-five rooms, is
surrounded by seventeen acres Of land,
much of which is In shade.
The house is built of the best ma
terial and contains a heating and
lighting plant. 1t is understood that
a number Of the State tribes have
volunteered to furnish rooms in the
mansion as memorials to their de-
ceased members SO that even the fur
nishing OF tho property would be prac-
tically free Of charge as far as the
state Council treasury would be con-
cerned. II is tho opinion of the officers
OF the order that the members will
contribute more freely 20 an establish
cd home than to one that is merely
contemplated. An officer Of the Great
Council expressed the opinion that in
the purchase Of the property the Grand
Council would perform duty that
will long be remembered. They be-
lieve that the good judgment Of The
council will prevail, to-day and it will
be decided 20 purchase the place.
