 Temple. FORTIETH SESSION
F0ur Hundred Delegates Here-Lodga Of Sorrow Last Night
 Annual Address.

An unusual demonstration, one that is seldom witnessed in a grand ledge meeting of coloTel Masons, characterized the opening days ses- sion cf the fortieth annual meeting of the Colored Free and Accepted MaSons of Arkansas, which convened at their Temple n this city yester- day for five days session. The demor straticn lasted for ten minutes and was in the nature of applause for Grand Master J. H. Harrison, of Wilmar, Ark., who presided. It was. occasioned by an announcement. by him that the Grand Lodge trustees had taken up the last mortgage on their $6o,o00 Masonic Temple, the cornerstone of which was lad n this city ten years ago.
 The Temple has been completed for several years and has ben paying Investment for the Negro Masons of Arkansas. II is d four story pressed brick structure and stands at Fourth avenue and State street. The dedicatory exercises, which will be attended by four hun dred delegates in attendarce at the grand lodge meeting, will take place this afternon and prom ses to be a memorable event in athe history Of the Arkansas grand lodge.
 A greater part of the days session was taken up with the appointment of committees, receiving reports of grand officers and the annual ad- dress of Grand Master Harrison. The Lodge Of Sorrow Was held last night at St. Johns A. M. E. Church, which was attended by several hundreH and mary local negroes of in Mascn'c circles.

 NATIONAL CAMPAIGN.
Graphic Will Give Out Official But tons In Few Days To Con-
 tributOrs.

County Treasurer c. M. NicAol, of this city, was the first loyal Democrat to send $1 to the Graphic yesterday for the Democratic campa gn fuud. Others followed in rapid succession and it is believed that a1 least $500 will be raised in this city, if not more, for the Wilson Marshall fund.
 Within the next few days this of flee will receive large shipment oi the official Wilson Marshall buttons, one of which will be given to each person contributing to the National Democratic campa gn fund.

Mebane, of Hot Springs, was master of ceremonies. The annual memorial address was delivered by Rev. E. C. Morris, D. D., of Helena, the well known negro educatcr. A solo by Dr. F. P. Lytes, of this city, who is acting as official repor CT for the grand lodge, was also a feature. The delegates marched in a body to the church from the Mason Temple.
 The annual address of Grand Mas ter Harrissn, followed the inroduc- tion of the Grand Master of Tennes- see, who spoke encoufagingly of the grafd lodge, and an invocation by Rev. A. w. Winston.
 The address of Grand Master liar risen was feature of the afternoon sess on and the delegates heard his utterances with great deal of en- thusiasm. He pictured, impressively, the growth of the craft, especially in the past year, and defended the recommendations of the last grand lodge, as well as the laws adopted al .the 1911 session.
 When the speaker exhibited the last Masonic Temple mortgage the delegates began to applaud him and il was some time before the conven- tion came to order again. He ee- taken up' and paid and the records i'll the court house ill this city satis- fled, insofar as the Colored Masonic Temple was concerted. The M. B. A. Department, he said, was $5,000 bet ter off than last year; the depart ment being able to pay every dollar t owed, with some left in the treas ury. An unusual precedent was set when the grand lodge permitted the Grand Master to dispense with the reading of that part of his address, pertaining to the focal ledge through out the state.
 One Of the Grand Master'es recom- mendatlons was that the trustees be empowered to remcrt gage the vacant lots on Fourth avenue, near State street, adjoiIing the Temple property, a'ed borrow sS,00o CT $10,G00 for the purpose of erecting two brick stores on the site. He also recommended that the Grand Lodge arrange to take up all outstanding bends, held by the individual members and lodges throughout the state.
 The arriual reports of Grand Treas uror s. P. Brock, of Antoine, Ark, and Grand Secretary Wesley, of Little Rock, showed the Grand Lodge to be in good financial condition and pros porous.

VICTIM OF STRANGE ACCIDENT
Mrs. Charles G. Phillips Broke Thigh
Bone While Watering Lawn

Mrs. Charles G. Phillips fell and
broke the bone OF her left thigh about
1880 o'clock Thursday evening. The
physician who was called in the case
pronounced the fracture bad one,
but gave II as his opinion that there
would be no serious or lasting results
from the injury. Mrs Phillips suffer
ed considerable pain during the early
hours of the night but in the early
morning hours, rested as comfortably
as could be expected under the cir
cumstances.
Mrs Phillips was the victim OF a
strange accident Early in the even
ing she attached hose to the faucet
and was dragging the hose across the
lawn for the purpose OF wetting down
the grass. The hose was long and
consequently heavy and II was neces.
sary for her to exert considerable
strength to move the line. While she
was pulling on the hose il parted at
the couplings and the sudden release
OF tension threw her forcibly upon
the lawn. SO far as could be learned
she well upon nothing harder thar
the turfcovered ground. but she wen
down with force enough to fractur,
the hip bone
Mrs Phillips was at once taken in
to the house and a physician was sun
moned 1t was first believed that she
had dislocated the limb at the hiI
Joint but a further examination re
vealed the fact that the thigh bon'
was fractured.

HENRY 0. HARDWOOD
Life Long Resident Passed Away
EARLY This Forenoon

Henry o. HARDWOOD, lifelong res
ident and highly respected citizen of
Bennington, died at 1880 o'clock this
morning at the home of his brother,
George III. Harwood, on Union street.
The ultimate cause of death was old
age pneumonia, due to hardening of
the arteries. He had been in feeble
health for some time but his final i'll
ness was OF about a weeks duration.
Henry Olin Harwood was born in
Bennington, in what is known as the
Guideboard district, January II, 1884
and was therefore in his 18th year.
His parents were James f. and Rox-
ana Olin Harwood. When a young
man he lived for about year in Ohio
but the remainder of his life was pass
ed in the town of his birth.
Early in life he learned the trade
of brass moulder and was employ
ed almost continuously at the Ben
nington Machine Works until about
II years ago. He was apparently in
excellent physical condition when he
left the employment of Col. DIN
Scott and it was only recently known
to his relatives that his retirement
was brought about by an internal in
jury
When a young man he became a
member of St. Peters Episcopal
church and the faithful observation
of his obligations was one of the
striking characteristics of his long
life. During the decades that had
elapsed since he became a commun-
icant he had been absent from but a
few Sunday services. He had been
junior warden of the church since
1888 and was secretary of the parish
for over 40 years, long a supernten-
dent and teacher in the Sunday
school and was for many years the
librarian.
He was a conscientious Christian
gentleman who had the respect of the
community which honored him for
his example of upright living and his
strict adherence to what he believed
TO be right
The Survivors are one brother,
George H. Harwood and two nephews
Olin W. HARDWOOD and G. Louis Har-
wood.
There will be a prayer at the house
at PAS o'clock Sunday afternoon and
funeral services at the church at
o'clock. The rector, Rev. Philip
Schuyler, will ofiiciate and the YES
trymen will act as bearers.

VERMONT is UNPLEDeED
Charles D. Watson, Chairman Of Del.
eaatIon Makes Statement

st. Adams, June 20--A Messenger
repl sentative this morning obtained
from Charles d. Watson. chairman OF
the delegation to the Democratic nat
ional convention at Baltimore. this
statement as to the probable standing
OF the delegates on presidential pre-.
ferences. choice OF the Vermont mem.
Der of the national committee, timer.
acy. and other matters of interest.
Mr.. Watson said that he was un.
able TO obtain any reliable informa-
ton as to the general public senti.
ment In regard to presidential candi.
dates. The statement in Boston pa.
pers that the delegation was pledged
for Champ Clark is without founda
ton. No attempt was made In the
convention to instruct delegates. Even
the unit rule was frowned down. He
said:
81 believe every man will 90 to Bal.
timore with an open mind. DESTROYS
only to select the candidate who will
draw the largest Independent vote"
IL Is practically settled that the
delegation will elect Thomas n,
Browne. OF Rutland, as national com.
mitteeman. Mr.. Watson said Browne
Is capable. honest and has expert
ence. He is among the first in infu
ence on the national committee. A
new man would be unknown and
therefore of limited usefulness. Al
this particular time. change would
be blunder. Mr.. Watson said.
