CHICAGO, July 11. The supreme lodge
Knights of Pythias, which has been In
session here considering charges of mis
management by tho board of control ot the
endowment rauk, today decided that the
most expedient way of meeting the de
ficiency of $500,000 In the treasury was to
raise the Insurance rate to the maximum
prescribed by the national fraternal con
gress. If In this way money Is not quickly
enough forthcoming It Is likely that a
special assessment of 50 cents will be put
on every member of the order for tho
benefit of the endowment rank. This lat
ter move would speedily raise 2.".0,000.
The board of control will continue to In
vestigate tho affairs of the endowment
rank pursuant to resolutions adopted yes
terday. The only Immediate action which
will be taken will be the Instituting of
some foreclosure suits In an endeavor to
rescue as much as possible of tho money
suld to havo been carelessly Invested by
J. A. Hlnsey, former president of the board
of control. Tho Investigators will prob
ably adjourn tonight. ,

During this time and after opening a
modest llttlo law office ho. while awaiting
tho appearanco of clients, employed a por

Sioux Falls correspondent if the St. Paul
Pioneer Press. Subsequently ho entered Into
a copartnership with C. H. Wlnsor, then
ono of tho lending attorneys of Sioux Falls,
and prnctlccd his profession. The firm was
very successful. The partnership existed
until October, 1803, when Mr. Wlnsor, who
returned to Sioux Fnlls a year or two ago,
removed to New York City.
Almost from his first appearance In Sioux
Falls Klttrcdge took an nctlvo Interest In

old rates were much more favornbto to old
men than to young and consequently tho
younger element lined up In favor of tho
change against the older element. There
was an even harder struggle made by men
who thought It was not fair to place all tho
financial burden of making up tho deficit
caused by bad administration on the policy
holders. Tho men who look thlo view
pointed out that tho endowment rank was
Incorporated In tho name of tho supreme
lodge ot tho Knights of Pytblas and whs
controlled by It. They said that Mr. Hln
sey was an officer appointed by tho Pyth
ian order nnd not by the policyholders and
that, consequently, the whole order should
benr the losses caused by him and that a
uniform assessment on all Pythlana should
bo levied to make It good.
Final action of the supreme lodge wns
practically utmnlmo .s for the higher rates,
which place tho who'e burden on members
of tho endowment rnn.c, only four dclegatoj
voting In tho negative Uy n compromise
agreement, however. It wns ordered tint
when the old denth loises were paid off and
a surplus began to accumulate, the board of
control should havo authority to pass n
regular monthly assessment as often ns
possible.
To place Itself on record ns rejponslblo fot
nil debts of tho endowment rank, the su
premo lodge passed tho following reso
lution, offered by Charles A. Harnes of
Illinois:
"Resolved, by tho supreme lodge of tho
Knights of Pythias, That said supreme
lodgo recognizes not only Its leg.il but also
Its moral and fraternal responsibilities to
stand behind and prolcet every beneficial
certificate issued by and in force In tho
endowment rank of tho Knights of Pythlai,
and wo hereby pledge to every holder of
such certificates all such legislation ns may
bo needed to fully protect tho holders ot
such certificates and produce full and
prompt payment of all e.'.lms duo thereon."
Thoodore La Hacb of' Sherman. Tex.,
was elected a member r tho board of con
trol of the cndowvi'tlt-rar', to succeed
Mr. Hlnsoy. who icslgned under Are. It
wns decided that the main office of the
rank should continue In Chicago for tho

The train loll Conneaut only a lew min
utes before tho. accident In charge ot ln
glueer William Griffith of lluftalo, nnd Con
ductor Phil A. Moore ot lluftalo. The lat
ter was killed outright. The bridge gang
was at work on the bridge and the ten
men Injured arc mostly workmen, A fill was
betug mado at the bil.igc and about tweuty
rlvu workmen were about the structure.
Tho Conneaut' wreck train, with local
officials and doctors, left for the scene at
11 o'clock, The accident occurred Just
after passenger train No. 3 had pulled
through. The local, after tho passing of
tho passenger train, pushed three cars
heavily laden out on the structure to un
load stone for the masons working be-
uenth on the largo stone foundation. The
work of unloading had hardly begun, when,
without warning, tho wholo structure,
bearing tho threo laden cars filled with
laborers, fell with an awful crash Into tho
valley.
So sudden was the affair that only one
iran, a mason named Ocorgc Smith, had a
chance to leap In tlmo to save himself
from Injury.

The men, ns tha train fell, had all leaped
as far as possible, bo that only two or three
wcro burled beneath the awful mass o
debris at the bottom of the ravine.
As soon ns the news of tho accident
reached Conneaut the wrecking train and
a hurriedly constructed ambulanco train
wero dispatched to tho scene. Tho wounded
were attended to, the dead were placed In
cots and all were brought to Conneaut.
The place where the accident occurred
was at Crooked Creek, directly north ot
East Springfield, Pa. For many years tbu
creek has been spanned by a heavy struc
tural steel bridge. On May 1 tho work of
lllllng up tho valley was commenced. Down
In the ravine, Ufty-flvo feet below, masons
were at work building a large stone abut
ment. Tho steel was wrenched and dis
torted into one huge mass. The threo cars
containing stono wcro broken to bits and
the railway track obliterated In the pile.
The accident stopped all traffic on tho lino
nnd tho passengers were sent over the Lake
Shore.

NEW YORK, July 11. (Special Tele

agents are In arms In consequence. They
assert that this is another evidence of the

Baltimore, Boston and Canadian ports, but
this the federal officials deny. The White

other companies that mako n business of

change.
The explanation was irtade that the
quarantine grounds at Garfield, N. J., aro

no cattle could hn received. A protest
was todav telegraphed to Washington with

NEWPORT, R. I July 11. Columbia

Tho breezo today was much stronger
than on previous days nud Independence

Tho result of today's raco leaves the
question of the supremacy of the threo

being not so slow aftor all, whllo Con
stitution has yet to prove Us unquestioned
superiority to the other two In anything

With the mark about eight miles dead to

lead. Three times did tho Hcrreschoff
yacht attempt to cross the bow of thn
Crnwnlnshleld boat, only to be beaten
back. Independence kept Constitution
right under its lee and was able to main

NEWPORT, R. I July 11. Thero was al
most thn Joy of victory on Independence
tonight. Tho remarkable Improvement In
the speed qualities ot thu boat has given
nil hands new hopo. Captain Haff, who has
never lest confidence, said today that aftor
Independence haB been properly tuned up
It can beat cither of tho other boats In
any kind of wind He further said It had
not yet been thoroughly tried out.
The present scries of rnres has only
given opportunity to find out what Is the
rantttr. But tho captain said slnro tho
faults havo becomo known there has been
no tlmo to remedy them. All th sails,
especially the head sail, aro bagging badly
nnd tho sallmaker has hnd no time to
tighten them. An entire now sot of hnad
talis Is now bolng in tide.
Independence sailed today with a ton
less ballast than In the last two races.
Captain Haff also said tonight ho could
havo forced both Columbia and Constitution
about If ho bad tho right of way, Instead
of lacking under their lco, ho bore away and
went astern.
Thnro Is the best of feeling and a healthy
spirit of rivalry among the orews. Cap
