K. OF P. IN sTAuNTON

STAUNTON, VA, June 1S.-The>
Grand Lodge. Knights OF Pythias, N
A, S. A, "a. A. and A. has met
and adjourned, but the rumors set
afioat, the talk OF the delegates and
the murmurs of dissatisfaction were
so deep and loud that even nom
members of the Order were convers
ant with many inside affairs. The
topic now being mostly discussed by
both delegates and visitors are the
disclosures made in the letter of At
torney NJ J, Fulton to the Deposi-
tors Creditors Committee, showing
that three men, w. H c.. Brown,
Joseph r. Pollard, Levi c Brown
(and w H. c.. Brown is said to
have disclosed that Grand Chance,-
lor w. B F. Crowell) were members
os the Investment and Finance Cor
poration.
THE VITAL POINT.
Had these men succeeded, four OF
them would have purchaser near,y
S2UO,OOO worth OF the Banks S asses
tor $4,000 and the pront thereon
instead OF going to the depositors OF
the Bank, as represented by the Me-
chanlcs Office Building Corporation,
which corporation was sponsored by
Assistant Attorney General Leon N.
Bazlle and Attorney NJ. j. Fulton
would have been divided among these
four men, instead of beng distri-
buted among the depositors of the
Bank

A TRUNK OF INFORMATION,
Another important fact was brought
out by John Mitchs.rs visit here. He
brought with him, So he said,
trunk containing information upon
these subjects. The amount Of mon
ey received from the Receiver Joseph
Button, Commissioner Of Insurance,
which he had conserved and saved to
the order through his agent, c. j.
Churchman, Esq. was $11,592 10 as
shown by the 1925 Grand Lodge
Minutes which were given out here.
In seven months time this amount
had been reduced, to r$4,S79'13.
SALARIES INCREASED.
The salaries had been increased;
that of the Grand Chancellor from
$1,000 to $500, that of the Grand
Keeper of Records and Seal remained
the same, 5000 per year, while the
Grand Attorney was donated $500,
and his salary placed at $1,000 per
year, making a salary expense of
$4,000. without including the com
pensation of the Grand Master of
Exchequer.
This was done in the face Of the
fact that the membership had fallen
on nearly fifty per cent or about one
ha'f The lodges numbered at one
time nearly 800 and they we're re-
duced to 172 and it was reported
that only 3s of these were fully
benefited.
AN EXPERT AUDITOR.
Supreme Chancellor s. w. Green
is reported to be an expert auditor
and well versed I'm fraternal affairs
The delegates were commenting up
on the fact that he and Grand Chan
eellor Crowell virtually locked horns
when the latter disputed the deduc-
ton sdrawn by the head of the
knights Of Pvthias order who quick
lv silenced him by citing the figures
from Crowell's report showing that
he bad naid out more money than he,
had taken in.

Citation Well Won.

An army citation tells of the ex-
ploit of Senegalese rifeman named
Mongongo, on guard in a blockhouse
attacked by the Riffians. He was
wounded during the bombardment.
Seeing that the enemy had begun to
make his way inside the walls, he
took his stand at breach made by
the besieging artillery and fought off
the followers of Abd-el Krim. But
the garrison was too small to protect
all the exposed points. So Mongongo
sounded the charge and led a brisk
counter-attack. He thus saved the
tower and, according to the citation,
also the post at Aoulai.
"Ten thousand black troops were
sent into the Riff" said Stephane
Jauzanne. "They were sent there
badly trained, inadequately instruct
ed, ignorant of the task set before
them. They were divided and scat
tered all along the line. Here there
were thirty, there hundred, at an
other place sometimes ten.

BLACK TROOPS PRAISED FOR
THEIR BRAVERY IN THE RIFF
French Army Issues History of the
First Regiment of Senegalese
Riflemen


In the satisfaction over the success
of their arms in the Riff. after a
costly struggle of more than year,
the French have paid tribute to the
notable services rendered by the 10000
negro troops sent to help conquer
Abd-el Krim. The History of the
First Regiment of Senegalese Rifle
men," just issued by the French Army,
relates in colorful and dramatic fash
ion some Of the performances of the
African soldiers.
Among the most striking of these
recitals is that of the losing fight
made by two young French officers
and their negro troops in defense of
besieged blockhouse at Beni-Derkoul
Captain Pietri thus describes the
struggle:
"A young graduate of ST. Cyr, Sec
ond Lieutenant Lapeyre, with bravery
and southern tierceness, held the siege
since April Is with Sergeant Biovardi
and forty Senegalese riflemen Re-
supplied on May with food and
munitions, they were once more sur
rounded in the narrow and fatal circle
that was not again to be broken. On
June ID, at o'clock, after having re-
pulsed with rifles continual attacks.
Lapeyre signalled: Tower taken; fire
upon it. The posts situation was
then desperate. The enemy in con-
siderabis numbers was already within
the Notifications, the machine guns
would not work, and the grenades
were exhausted.

Died With His Men.


Deciding that his post was lost, and
not counting upon any human aid,
Lapeyre prepared to destroy the block
house and bury in it's ruins himself
and the garrison as soon as the enemy
had penetrated to the interior At
7:10 o'clock, in the red light of the
setting sun, great column of smoke
rose from Beni-Derkoul. Violent and
repeated explosions resounded. Lape-
yre, putting into execution his resolu-
tion taken on May 13, had died with
his men.
"a great silence now reigned over
Beni-Derkoul. Above, in the sky, the
column of smoke, last vestige of the
tragedy, rose and melted slowly into
the calm air of the evening. The
east took on fantastic colors of gray
and blue, while in the west the sun
disappeared in a sea of fire; and it
seemed that Morocco had again out
done itself that night, in the magic
splendor of its sunsets, to drape in
a marvellous purple and golden coffin
the heroes who had just died"

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5. - Ten
states Senators who have been
! epudiated at the polls will sit in the
coming short session of Congress.
The unusually large delegation of
lame ducks" who must look to
President Coolidge for jobs if they
are to continue in public life, is ex-
rocted to give the President a strong
hold on the Senate before he
rolinquishes it to a Democratic
Progressive majority when the
Senate is seated thirteen months
from now.
Defeated HoId-Overs
Hold-over Senators defeated at the
general election are Wadsworth,
Weller, Ernst, Harreld and Cameron.
Five others, Mckinley Means, Len
root, Paper, and Stanfleld, were
beaten at the primaries.
Butler of Massachusetts and Will
liams Of Missouri relinquish their
Seats at once, being appointed for
unexpired terms of Senators Lodge
and Spencer, and beaten by Walsh
and Halves.
D Washington is particularly in
Vterested in the lame duck situation
in view Of the fact that some
Cabinet members are rumored to be
on the verge of retiring and their
places would be filled by presidential
appointment with the advice and
consent of the Senate" The Senate
has yet to approve two tariff com.
mission 1ppointees.
Coolidge may also find timber for
cabinet jobs and other important ap-
pointments among the lame ducks.

as, Calf, that she was the Miss y
of the Aimee Semple Mcpherson case
and occupied cottage for ten days
a cottage at Carmel, Calf, with
Kenneth G.. Ormiston, was Miss
Rachael Wells of Philadelphia. it
was testified today by Mrs. Lorraine
Wiseman- Sielaff.
The testimony was made While
Mrs. Wiseman, San Francisco steno-
grapher, was on the stand in the pre-
liminary hearing of the Los Angeles
evangelist on charges of conspiracy
to defeat justice.
Mrs. Wiseman declared she sent
money given her by Mrs. Mcpherson
to Miss Wells at Philadelphia TO
come here and pose as the Carmel
cottage companion of Ormiston, for
mer radio operator of Mrs. McPher-
sons Angelus Temple In this city.
w. I. Gilbert, chief OF Mrs. Nc
Pherson's counsel, failing in an eff
fort to attack Mrs. Wiseman's COM
potency as a witness on the ground
that she is not mentally responsible,
asked If she had not taken her sister
to Salinas and presented her at the
Office of Jurge J. A. Bardin as the
Mss X" Of Carmel.
Mrs. Wiseman, however, insisted
that it was Miss Wells who accom-
panied her on the trip which she has
testified was part of a plan to de-
ceive the public into the belief that
it was not Mrs. Mcpherson who &C.
cupied the Carmel cottage for ten
days.

adelphia- Miss Wells came to San
Francisco about August ~ and Mrs.
Wiseman met her in the lobby of the
Y. w. c. A. on August IA. They went
to Salinas, registering in the hotel
there as Mrs. Wiseman and sister"
The next day Roland Rich Woolley,
one of the attorneys for Mrs. Nc
Pherson, being present, they went to
the Office of Judge Bardin. The af-
fidavits-one by Miss X and anoth-
err by Miss WisemeA to the effect
that they were with Ormiston at Car
mel-were drawn up and Miss Wells
and Mrs. Wiseman returned to Los
Angeles, the witness testified.
Can you produce anything TO
show that Miss Wells ever existed?'
asked Gilbert.
Not at the present time" replied
Mrs. Wiseman.
The witness said she believed Miss
Wells now was in New Orleans.
The hearing was enlivened at the
outset when defense Attorney Gilbert
and S. S. Hahn. representing Mrs.
Wiseman, exchanged a few wild
swings during a heated argument
which began when Hahn charged
that Gilbert had called Mrs. Wise
man a liar" The attorneys were
separated and the court admonished
them.
More documentary evidence in the
case has disappeared. Hahn an
nounced the theft from his office Of
photographs of the evangelist and
Mrs. Wiseman and several telephone
receipts by which he intended to
show that Mrs. Mcpherson, and her
mother had communicated with the
fugitive Ormiston. The photographs
were taken, Hahn said, when Mrs.
Mcpherson and Mrs. Wiseman had
made up to resemble each other.
