THREE CITIES SEEK
NEXT CONVENTION
Detroit, Seattle and New Or
leans Bid for Knights Tenn
pIar Conclave
BUSINESS SESSIONS BEGIN

Three cities. in widely separated
parts Of the country, are contending for
the privilege Of entertaining the next
conclave of the Grand Encampment,
Knights Templar of the United States.
The conclave. according. to the trien-
nial order, would be held in 1922.
The Pacific coast delegates attending
the business session of the encampment
in Corinthian Hall, Masonic Temple,
are strongly in favor of sending the
next conclave to Seattle. Wash.
The last conclave sat in Los Angeles,
Calf. and while eminently successful.
opposition is heard to holding two con
claves with such brief intermission in
the Far West.
New Orleans has many advocates
among the southern and eastern dele
gates. 1t is pointed out as an argu-
ment for the Crescent City that the
next grand master, Il. e. Sir Joseph
X. Orr, halls from Atlanta, Ga, and
that the time is appropriate to send the
conclave southwark. The present grand
master. NJ. e. Sir Lee Stewart Smith,
lives in Pittsburgh.
Detroit is the candidate OF the rep
resentatives of the Northern tier. 1t
is held to be centrally located from
Transportation consideration and pos
SCISSOR of n lively templar organization.
Decision on the next conclave site
will be made before the business ses-
sions end tomorrow.
Another question interesting the
grand encampment is the selection of a
knights Templar lapel button. a.
Howard Thomas. of this city, is chair
man of a committee having this matter
in charge. Thomas p Morgan, District
of Columbia, and f. G. Staley, Mary
land, are his associates.
Grand Master Smith. according to
custom, will pass to the past grand
masters chair with the closing of the
conclave.
Traditional moving up" will seat
Deputy Grand Master Orr in the pre-
siding office. Election interest will
focus on the choosing of a grand Junior
warden. r. +. Sir William L. Sharp.
Chicago. H.. present grand standard
bearer, and r f. Sir Frank l.. Nagle,
Newtonville. Mass, grand sword =
bearer, are being considered for eleva :
ton.

conducted in secret, and are attended
only by the 800 representatives from,
the grand Communicates.

BANK CRASH VICTIMS
WILL KNOW FATE SOON
Liquidation Officer May An
nounce What Is Saved
Late This Week

With the fling of a schedule Of as
sets of the Gefunct North Penn Bank.
now being liquidated by the State
Banking Department, the amount de-
positors will be paid will soon be known.
It is expected the report of the ap-
praisers named by Banking Commits
sioner Fisher will be completed and
filed before the end Of the week. One
copy must be filed in the prothonotary
Office, in this city, at which time it be-
comes public property. Another copy
must be filed with the State Banking
Department, at Harrisburg.
Colonel Fred Taylor Pusey, special
deputy attorney general in charge of
the liquidation, is said to have salvaged
nearly $500, 900 from the wreck.
Many debtors, who have refused to
make payment, wholly or in part, have
found their properties encountered with
judgments, obtained by Colonel Pusey
to safeguard loans from the bank,
which the owners of the properties ne
gotiated.
A depositors' committee will confer
with Colonel Pusey at his Office in the
Widener Building tomorrow, when it is
expected a partial statement OF the
banks assets will be given them. Ihe
statement will be read to meeting
of the depositors Friday night, in
Yonah Hall, 2727 Columbia avenue.
New developments in the bank probe
are expected, following the turning over
to the district attorneys Office by Col
onel Pusey of all evidence gathered
against James J. Boland, the New
York Scranton insurance promoter,
whose meteoric career and financial
jugglery cost the North Penn Sdeo,
600. Efforts to get Boland to come to
this city and make n settlement have
