PYTHIAN KNIGHTS
ARE IN SESSION
Grand Lodge Meets in Cedar Rapids
With Pythian Sisters Also

CEDAR RAPIDS, Aug. 26-Of the
greatest interest at today's meetings
OF the grand lodge knights of Pythias
will be the selection of grand officers
for the ensuing year, and the pre-
sentation of the legislation Of the SUI
preme lodge, now referred back to
the grand lodge for appreciation. The
states are practically complete, con-
tests among knights being nil, al
though the sisters promise some fric-
ton in the selection of the more i'm
portant officers.
A. J. Beckett, now vice chancellor
OF the dominion will surely be elevat-
ed to the grand chancellor's chair In
accordance with the precedent Of sue
cession. His place will be taken by
ii. G. Moore, of Wellman; DR.. G. w.
vanAusdall will be elected grand pre-
late, while John H. Harvey will con-
tinue in the grand treasurership.
The questions of comforting Of past
chancellor honors upon five year
holders OF the offices Of keeper
OF records and seal and finance;
OF the advance of the minimum
membership fee from $40 to 500
and the decision in regard to the
establishment of national Pyth-
ian tuberculosis sanitarium, the
important issues Of the last supreme
lodge, promises interest with their
introduction. 1t is expected that the
advance of membership fee will be
met with opposition, although the
sanitarium proposal met with defeat
in the Winnipeg convention and was
referred back to the grand lodges
with instructions for future action. In
all probability the matters will be
given into the hands Of committees
for report, move which may defer
action until the 1915 convention.
