With hundreds Of odd Fellows and
Rebekahs already gathered for the
grand lodge sessions an more to ar
rive this evening an tomorrow, PEN
dleton is today fully in the grasp OF
the three-link brigade which has Tor
its motto the noble sentiments,
Friendship, Love and Truth.
The main body of the delegates
from western Oregon arrived by the
regular trains and special from
Portland this morning. The special
was scheduled to reach here at Z
o'clock and preparations had been
made by the local committee to meet
and welcome the visitors at that hour.
The arrival of the train 35 minutes
ahead OF schedule slightly upset the
arrangements. Yet, nevertheless, the
delegates were all duly provided for
and listed in a very short time.
Thus far the accommodations list
ed by the committee has proven more
than sufficient as there were rooms
still untaken at local hotels the mid
die of the forenoon. 1t Is likely how
ever that all such rooms will be COB
bled up when further representatives
arrive tonight.
Thus far the chief difficulty expec-
fenced has arisen over the made
quacy Of the meeting halls. The Re-
bekahs found Masonic hall too small
for their purposes when their open
ing meeting was held this forenoon.
The grand encampment which con-
vened in the Eagles-Woodmen hall
Jared better along that line.
The only meetings held today have
been those of the Rebekah assembly
and the grand encampment, the reg
ular session OF the grand lodge not
beginning until tomorrow. The grand
encampment closed its session this
afternoon and nothing is scheduled for
this evening aside from the band con-
cert on the strets. The Rebekahs
meet this evening in the Eagles-Wood-
men hall where Pauline Rebekah
Lodge No. 13 will exemplify the Re-
bekah degrees. The Rebekahs will
also be in session tomorrow and
Thursday The rebekahs will parade
at l o'clock tomorrow afternoon in
conjunction with the odd Fellows
and also participate in the reception
at the Oregon theater tomorrow eve-
ming.
The grand lodge l. o. o. F. is to
convene tomorrow morning at 9 a.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1912-05-21

IN. The forenoon will be devoted to
business. At l o'clock the parade will
occur following which will occur the
grand decoration or chivalry, after
which will come a business session.
There wilt be a band concert on the
street in the evening. followed BY
the general reception at the theater.
The grand lodge will close Thursday
evening, a third band concert being
the last number on the program for
their. entertainment.

The man was dead the instant of

BRYAN ENDORSES
CAMPAIGN REFORM
Gives Roosevelt Credit for Being
First to Urge Government to
Pay Expenses

That ex-President Roosevelt is the
original advocate of the idea that the
government should pay the expenses
of the presidential campaign and bar
private contributions to such funds is
stated in a letter which the East Ore
gonian has received from w. ]. Bry-
an. great leader of the democratic
party.
Following the publication by this
paper of an interview with Judge
VIII r. King to the effect he would
try to get the democratic national
convention to adopt a plank calling
for this reform, copy of the inter-
view was sent Mr.. Bryan with the ex-
planation that Judge King believed
the Nebraskan had at one time sug-
gested the plan in a speech. The fol-
lowing is Mr.. Bryan's reply:
Lincoln, Neb., May 16.
Mr.. Z B. Aldrich, Editor East Ore
gonian, Pendleton, Oregon.
My Dear Sir:-Your favor at hand.
The suggestion made by Judge King
was first advanced, so far as l know,
in one of Roosevelt's messages. 1t is
one of the few original reforms to his
credit. 1 at once endorsed it in the
Commoner and 1 think a law was
passed in Colorado putting the idea
into effect. 1 am in favor of it but
it did not seem to take with our dem
ocrats in congress. Possibly they had
not had time to think it over They
may be for it now. The idea is al
right and will. 1 think, some day be
adopted. Very truly yours.

Boston, Mass. May 21.-Reveren6
Clarence Virgil T. Richeson, pastor
of the fashionable Emanuel Baptist
church, was executed in the electric
chair at Charleston prison at 1910
o'clock this morning for the murder
of his nineteen year old sweetheart
Avis Linnel, whom he killed after he
had ruined her, in order to marry
Miss Violet Edmands, heiress to one
million dollars.
At o'clock this afternoon. the
murderer's body had not been claim
ed by his relatives and unless they
take charge of it tomorrow, it will be
buried by the state authorities.
When the officials and witnesses of
the execution entered the death
chamber. after walking through the
prison yard in a pelting rain, they
heard the strains of songs. 1t was
Richeson and his spiritual advisers,
Mr. Johnson and Chaplain Stebbens.
Distinctly audible as they closed were
the words: For l know whate'er
befall me, Jesus doeth all things well"
AS Richeson settled himself slowly
in the chair, and threw back his head
and closed his eyes. the ministers
turned to Hebrews and read:
For He is able also to save them
to the uttermost that comes unto God
by Him, seeing that He ever liveth
to make intercession for them.''
Hands of Men Tremble.
Four prison guards picked up the
straps from the chair and adjusted
them. There was a quiver in every
mans hand and even the electrician
twice placed the strap before he could
adjust it satisfactorily.
Throughout the entire time the for
mer clergyman was talking bravely.
earnestly. with full, steady voice, as
he gave answer to questions pro-
pounded to him by Mr.. Johnson.
Would you like to confess Christ
before these witnesses as YOUR Sa-
vior?" asked Rev Mr.. Johnson
"I do confess Christ as my Sa
vior," was the answer. firmly.
