 The first business session of the grand lodge will be held tomorrow morning.
 The election of new grand exalted ruler has developed into a spirited but good natured contest. Arthur C. More land of New York, whose friends say he had good chance Of being elected as the compromise candidate because of the looked-for deadlock between John F.

PRIEST DENoUNcES
 A MOVING PICTURE. Shocked at Story of the Nun" as Told by the Film.

Huntington. L. l., July 10.-When the Very Rev. Dean John c. York rector of St. Patrick's Roman Catholic church and dean of Nassau-Sun0lk, arose at motion picture show here and denounced the film which had just been shown, the audience gasped It's surprise.
 I consider it my duty to protest against that series of pictures, said Err York. Both as man and priest, l voice here publicly my protest against the display of pictures that are unrep- resentative. untrue and essentially im- moral in their teachings. Such pie. lures are a menace to the morals ol the community"
 "The Story of the Nun was the subject of the film. to which F'r. York took exception. It showed a young girl who had been forced against her will to take the veil. Later, garbed as a nun, she was shown in room with an elderly priest, whose attentions threw her into such a frenzy that sha cast the crucifix to the floor. smashing it. The priest called the mother su- perior and the young girl nun was walls were being cemented about her when rescuers saved her.
 The picture was too much for Fr York. who happened to be in the show because he had gone there to see the manager about leasing the building for an entertainment After making his protest he hastily left the place.
 John RinaS. manager of the snow disclaimed all responsibility for the pictures by saying that they had been passed by the national board of cen- sorship and that he did not even know what the pictures would be until they were thrown upon the screen.

 Tens of thousands of electric bulbs also brighten the chief streets leading from Main street.

 The sambling of the Shriners is marked by no end of novelty For ex- ample. Lulu temple of P1iIa deIphia came to town with bells on." It had with it a papier maehe replica of the Liberty Bell of 1776 with it's world famed crack and all, and tiny bells iingled merrily at the bottoms of the trousers of the Shriners.

 ATWOoD'S FLIGHT, He and Hamilton Will Make Another Try at Baltimore.

Baltimore, July 10.-Being unable to resume their aeroplane flight to Wash ington this evening, because of un- favorable weather conditions. Harry N. Atwood said that he and his com panion, Charles K. Hamilton, would try to get away at a. m. tomorrow. He added that they would stop at Col lege Park Md. where the army avia- ton school of instruction is situated.
 Atwood announced his decision about 7.30 this evening after two futile at tempts had been made to fly from the field where the machine descended this morninf after a remarkable and nerve racking aerial journey. This journey began at Atlantic City, N. J., few minutes after a. m. and ended at 9.23 o'clock half mile from the Pennsy1- vania railroad station at Steamers Run, approximately 14S miles from the starting point.
 The flight had to be discontinued on account of the intense heat and high humidity. which made it almost if not quite impossible for aeroplanes to at tain a sufficient altitude. The same atmospheric conditions prevailed this evening and forced the postponement until the morning.
