During 1912 the imports that came
into this country free of all tariff
duties amounted to s166, 100000 more
than those imports that paid duty.
The free imports only lacked eight
millions of being a round billion of
dollars. The total imports last year
were the highest we have ever had
S254,000,000 higher than ever before.

FROM KNIGHTS TEMPLAR CONCLAvE
James C. MacPherson Grand Captain of The Guard Back From National Conclave at Denver-Trip Grand One-But Pitiful Condition Seen in Dry Belt of Kansas
 and Nebraska

Grand Captain Of the Guard James
 c. Macpherson arrived home Monday
 evening from trip of eleven days te
 the national cenclave of Knights Tenn
 plar at Denver, whisher he went as
 proxy for the very eminent deputy
 grand commander. MT. Macpherson is
 enthusiastic over his trip, which was @
 delightful one from start to finish, the
 only drawback being the extreme heat
 experienced through Kansas and Ne-
 braska. There were five In the Connec- ticut party, including besides MT. Mac
 pherson, J. F. Vodwarka of New Lon- don, Right Eminent Grand Command CT Arthur D. Chaffee of Willimantic Grand Generalissino George H. N. Johnson of Bridgeport and Grand Cap tain General A. W. Mattoon of New Haven. The party was also accompan- jed by Past Grand Commander of Con- necticut Farron Betts, now of New York, with Mrs. Betts and daughter. The acquaintance of many tourists was gained on the trip to the west, and the time was pleasantly passed. MT. Vod- warka is S2 years of age. but in spite of his advanced years stood the trip well and eh 'soyed the journey and it's associations.
 Conditions in Kansas and Nebraska were found pitiful. For one whole day
  teen 102 and 105 degrees, and at Hutch inson, Kan, where a stop was made, the thermometer registered 10S at o'clock in the evening, Miles and miles of cornfields were a crisp brown, and cattle were grazing or lana that ap- peared to have no more vegetation than a macadam road causing wonder that they r Anaged to exist at all.s So great is th.. need of water that Chicago is shipping water to various parts Of Kansas. AS the party neared Colorado storms could be seen at 8 distance in the mountains, but none occurred to relieve the oppression of the terrible heat to the east of the mountains. The train on the Santa Fe road burned, not coal but oil, and this suggested to MT. Macpherson a means of doing away with the smoke and cinder nuisance which is experienced here to some ex- tent and in a much greater degree In other cities.
 The greeting which the knights re- cedved in Denver was all that could be desired or imagined, and every minute of their stay they wer9 most hospitab1y The whole city was with visitors. the hotels were filled to their capacity and everywhere there was a general feeling Of happi- ness and good nature. That Denver was glad to greet the delegates may be judged from the fact that s60,000 was spent on decorations alone, Wonderful electrical effects were everywhere in evidence. For 20 or 25 miles the streets were illumined by electric lights inside glass pillars placed at regular inter yals along the sidewalks, Each pillar was connected with a steam pipe, and the drops of water running down the glass gave a remarkably pleasing ef- feet. The ee-epefatien of the residents of the city was almost beyeHd the een- prehension of the customers, said Mr. There the people are

proud of their city, and justly so, and are willing te support it.
 The party was cordially greeted on visiting the headquarters for the vari- GUS states, and made the acquaintance of many fine people who could not do enough for the visitors.
 Connecticut was honored by the ap- pointment of Grand Captain General Mattoon as adjutant general on the day of the big parade. and MT. Macpherson was made an aide on the staff of the grand marshal. The parade was one of the greatest displays in the history of Templar Masonry Tn the country. The column was so long that it requir- ed three and half hours to pass a giv- en point, and to watch the people along the line. MT. Macpherson said, impressed him with the idea that there couldn't be many more people in the United States. Every place where 1t was possible for a person to find footing was occupied, and all along the line of march the sidewalks were crowded dozens deep. At the end of the march. where the exercises were held, was an immense stadium in which 30.000 people were seated
 The Connecticut knights were enter tained by Major Henry J. Steiner and George w. Cardwell, both Norwich men, and by MT. Newcornb, a cousin of Weston c. Pullen of this city. The
 
 ed the visitors with literature. The members of the Grand Encampment were entertained at a magnificent ban- quet at the temple of the Shr1netrs. Besides the five members of the Grand Encampment Connecticut was repre- sented by party of sixty visitors from Hamilton Commandery of Bridgeport, who later went to the coast.
 MT Macpherson is enthusiastic over the hospitality, the enterprise and the accomplishments of Denver. The city is located on broad level plain and is filled with parks, playgrounds, hand some residences and fine estates, mal<- ing it beautiful spot to the tourist. The beautiful gardens and perfect highways everywhere are great con- trast to what the easterner is in the habit of viewing.
 Although the eastern delegates were In measure disappointed at the selec- ton of Los Angeles for the next tri ennial conclave yet there is a feeling that by the manner in which the west erners entertain, they are entitled to the privilege of having as their guests the Knights Tenlplar of the United States.
 AS an example of the interest felt in the convention by the people, Mir. Mae pherson stated that the city appropfi- ated $25,000 and the railroads $ls, 00t towards the entertainment of the vis- tiers, In Denver everywhere are signs of advancement and improvement, and the wealth in evidence there is surpris- ing. Mir. Macpherson says he Is still loyal te Genneeticut, where he believes that steady development will put it en even terms with the west,
 Mir. Macpherson and Mir Mattoon spent Sunday at Niagara Falls, return ing together Monday night, other mem bers of the party having separated at various points.
