Officers Installed.

At a we'll attended meeting of
Bamberg lodge, No. SO, Knights of
Pythias, in their castle hall on Mon
day night, Acting Deputy Grand
Chancellor H. G.. Folk conducted in a
very impressive manner the installa-
ton ceremonies when the newly elect
ed officers of the lodge were installed
for the ensuing year. Marked enthu-
siasm is being displayed in Pythian
circles of late, as was evidenced at
this meeting, and with a corps OF
earnest officers to lead in the work,
it is believed that the year of 191 6
will round out with more progress
along all lines having been made
than in like period for some time.
The following have been selected
to serve the lodge for 1916: U. Glenn
Hutto, C. c.; LaVerne Thomas, V.
c.; P. B. Murphy, prelate; w. A.
Dickinson, M. of w.; H. L. Kearse,
NJ. at A.; w. C. Patrick, K. of R. &
S. and NJ. of F.; H. L. Hinnant, NJ.
of E.; NJ. G. Cooner, L. G.; J. H.
Armstrong, O. G.
Immediately following his induc-
ton into office, Chancellor Com
mander Hutto announced the ap-
pointment of the following perma-
nent committees: Finance, H.. c.
Folk, L. B. Fowler, H. w. Walker;
relief and sick, U. G. Hutto, LaVerne
Thomas, P. B. Murphy, w; c. Pat
rick, H. L. Hinnant, F. c. Aver, M.
G. Cooner; trustees, B. w. Miley, F.
C. Aver, D. J. Delk; hall, J. H. Arm
strong, NJ. G. Cooner, F. c. Aver;
audit, W. G. Patrick, P. 3. Murphy
LaVerne Thomas.
According to the seni-annual re-
port just submitted for the last half
of 1915, the lodge is in fine shape
and is in position to do much good
WORK Cn1S year.
A report was had from the COM
mittee in charge Of general arrange
ments for the entertainment of the
district convention here in February
and the work was found to be pro-
crossing in a satisfactory manner. A
busy and entertaining day is promis-
ed the visitors here at that time and
there is a general disposition on the
part of the business men of the town
to cooperate with the committee in
their work which adds much en-
couragement and further assures the
success of the day.
AS soon as practicable the pro
gramme will be published in full, but
at this time there are numerous un'
completed details which it will be
necessary to complete before any
| further announcement can be made.

Safe with $1,000
Defies Burglars
Cracksmen Work for Hours to
Get at Money, Then
Steal Hat.

A 81 crush hat was stolen by burglars
who broke into the coal office Of T. H.
Watts. 212 C street southwest, Tuesday
night, following their futile efforts to
hack open a safe. The safe contained
$500.
The burglary was discovered yesterday
by employees of the office when they ar
rived for the days work. Burglars tools
were found near the battered safe.
Detectives Baur. Kelly and Burling-
game. who investigated. believe the bur-
glars spent several hours trying to open
the safe after forcing the Office door.
Though the safe is small. Weighing
about 500 pounds, the door held fast. Deep
gouges of the chisef were hacked about
the edge of the door and the combination
knob was knocked off.
Police believe there is some connection
between the burglary and the attempted
robbery of safe in the office of william
Davidson. also a coal dealer. at 1918
Fourth street northwest. a week ago. In
the Davidson burglary a chisel and saw
were left behind.
Both cases undoubtedly are the work OF
amateur safe robbers police say.

President Preparing Letter
Announcing Willingness to
Have Name on Ohio Ballot.
WILL TELL WHAT HE THINKS
ABOUT THE ONE-TERM PLANK
Executive to State that He Does Not
Seek Honors. but Will Run
if Party Desires 1t.

President Wilson Is preparing TO send a
letter TO the secretary OF State OF Ohio
announcing his willingness to have his
name placed upon the primary ballot for
the Presidential nomination.
The letter probably will be made public
within a week. 1t will be the fret public
declaration from the President that he is
a candidate for second term. This will
be Mr. Wilson'S answer 10 questions as
TO what he thinks about the one-term
plank in the Baltimore platform.
The Presidents letter will be written in
recognition Of the hio primary law,
which prohibits the naming OF a man
upon the ballot for any office without su-
thorizstion from him. The President will
inform the secretary Of sssts o. ohio
name on the ballot If his friends wish to
put ii there.
1t was said authoritstively yesterday
that the President will follow closely the
line Of thought outlined in his letter to
former Representative Palmer Of Penn
sylvsnia. which was published a short
time ago. He will again express the view
that it is the duty of a President to. sub
nit his administration to the people Of
the country for an expression OF their
approval or disapproval IL there is public
sentiment favoring such course OF &C
tion.
The President will indicate the opinion
that It is more a selSe of his own duty
than his ambition which leads him 70 en-
ter the contest for reelection. He is ex-
pected to state that he will make no fight
for the nomination Of his party, but that
he will not refuse TO make the race IL his
friends within the party desire him to
do so.

In the first official statement on the

The statement emphasizes that the men

The railroad organizations decline to
commit themselves on the question of
arbitration, should the railroads refuse
the demand. The position of the organ
izations is thus stated:
They are not opposed to arbitration,
neither are they pledged to accept IT..
They are practically pledged to peace,
but that does not mean peace at any
price. 1t means peace with honor, and
not peace at the sacrifice Of Justice"
