ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
MEETINGS EVER HELD.
High Officials of Knights or Pyth-
tss Have Gathered In Denver
for Business Meeting.
Denver, Col., Aug. fi.~- Charged
with the duty of legislating for the
fraternal Interests of nearly a
quarter of a million of members,
the supreme lodge of the, Knights
of Pythias assembled for its bien-
nial meeting here today and will
continue In session about ten days.
The meeting promises to he the
most important, ever held by the
governing ootly of the . order. A
great deal of interest centers
around the general election Thurs-
day. It is commended that the
present supreme vice Khancellor,
Thomas J. Carling of Macon, Ga.,
wilt be elevated to the office of
supreme chancellor In succession to
George H. Hanson of Maine. The
principal contest will be tor the
supreme vice-chancellor, for which
there's are live candidates: Benja-
min L. Salinger of Iowa, B. S.
Young of Ohio. William Lgdew of
New York, Charles S. Davis of Col-
orado and John J. Brown of Illinois.
A number of Important legisla-
tive matters will cotpe before the
Supreme Lodge for consideration
and action. Some minor changes
In the ritual probably will be made
and action will he taken on pro-
posals to reduce the age limit for
members from 21 years to f8 years
and to extend the order Into for-
eign lands. The grand lodge*, of
Ontario, Manitoba and British Co-
lumbia have asked that the> order
be extended to the “mother coun-
try,”' and it is probable that the re-
quest will*he granted.
Another topic that will engage
the attention of the Supreme Lodge
will he "Pythian Education," the
extension of the knowledge of Py-
thian knighthood and its work. Su-
preme Chancellor Hanson will
speak at length upon this subject
and It is expected that the body
will give much thoughtful atten-
tion to the plan proposed.
The meeting will discuss prelim-
inary plans for the proper observ-
ance of the golden jubilee of the
order two years hence. It is pro-
posed that the anniversary■ snail be
celebrated wilh a great meeting of
the membership in Washington. D.
C., where the first lodge of the
order was instituted February 19,
1864, by Justus H. Rathbone and
about a dozen associates. From
this modest beginning the Knights
of Pythias has increased its mem
bershlp to a total of 711,0*00, dis-
tributed among 7,900 Ideal lodges
in all parts of the United States and
Canada and In Mexico, Qhlna. Cu-
ba, Hawaii, Panama and the Phil-
ippines.
A unique feature oif the week's
program will be a meeting at
which representatives of three of
the great fraternities, representing
an aggregate of more than 3,000,-
000 members, will emphasize the
place and power of fraternity in in-
dividual and national life. The
speakers will he John B. Corkum
of Indianapolis, Grand Sire of 1.-
500.000 Odd Fellows and Rebekahs;
George B. Griggs of Houston, Tex-
as, Great Inchones ot the 350,000
Red Men, and Judge Hanson, rep-
resenting 711,000 Pythlans. AIL
ale members of the Pythian or-
der and each one belohgs, to the
other orders represented.
During the session of the Su-
preme Lodge the regular biennial
meetings will he held by the several
organizations affiliated with the
Knights of Pythias. These will In-
clude the supreme temple of the
Pythian Sisters, representing nearly
200.000 ynembers of which Mrs.

Texas, Is supreme chief; the asso-
ciation of grand keepers of record's
