ADDRESS OF RETIRING CHANCELLOR Recommends Eliminating; Sick Bene, ats and Hesulatlons Dealing; with the Property of Defunct Lodges. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES. Oct. 8. (Special.) The grand lodge of Iowa, Knights of Pythias, met this morning and took up the work of the session. An open meting was held in which the words of welcome were said and compliments paid. Governor Cummins and Mayur Bieuluu atljifral the grand lodge and there was a response by Grand Chan cellor PorterOeld. This afternoon the grand lodge was opened In secret. The matter of the election of offlcera, which promised to cause some trouble, wss disposed of be fore the meeting." An effort had been made to combine those who represent the opposi tion to what was called the "ring" and to thus defeat the slate which had been made out before the delegate, arrived In the city. Thl. morning It wa. announced there had been an utter failure to combine the oppositions and that O. M. GlUett of Independence would be elected grand chan cellor to auoceed Porterfteld and . the other officer, would be substantially a. named several day. ' ago. The following were elected. . . . Grand Chancellor O. M. GlUett, Inde pendence. Vice Grand Chancellor J. T. Gutellua, Centervllle. Grand Prelate S. L. Hill, Weldon. Grand Keeper of Records and Seals H. H.

Pflffner, Em metsburg. Grand Trustees William Clark, Mar ehalltown, and A. C. Savage, Adair. The address of Chancellor Porterfleld on the order in Iowa was listened to atten tively. That part which related to the ef forts to make It appear that those In office had been guilty of un-Pythlan conduct was received with favor. Growth of Order In Iowa. The annual report of Frank Porterfleld, grand chancellor of the domain of Iowa, contained a gratifying statement as to the growth of Pythlanlsm In Iowa, made a j Johnson of this city, secretary of the con number of radical recommendations and re- j ference: ported on a vast amount of work done dur- Algona District Robert Amylle, presid ing the year.

In order to secure efficient officers he would reward tbem, aa, for Instance, creating a keeper of records and seals a past chancellor after five year, of .ervlae in that office. Sick Benefits Caaae Tremble. In regard to elck benefit. Chancellor Por terfleld urged that they be eliminated en- ttrely, as they cause more trouble than any other thing In the Pythian lodges. Soma " . ... , ' . . , . . . drastic legislation ia needed In regard to defunct lodges and the law governing the same. He recommends tbet the grand lodge be Incorporated and that the title to all j lodge property be vested In that lodge and loaned to the subordinate lodges and some one be required to report It. . There have been no appeals for permis sion to circulate 'petitions for aid during the year. The growth of the order ha. made it necessary that special deputies be appointed more freely than usual, and during the year .the following past chancel lors were ao commissioned: H. O. Pflffner. Eremetsburgi R. A. Pettlbone, Leblgh; A. G. Cook, Ottumwa; C. A. Tibbltts, Council Bluffs; E. B. Talnter, Carroll; F. A. Welch, Oto; C. 8. Hopkins. Lake City; Ed Willi, Red Oak; M. M. M. Clark. Marshalltown, and Peter Stepfany, Manning. The Uniform rank of the order, under thi management of J. C. Manchester of Ot tumwa, haa Increased to thirty-one com panies, with (96 men. The Endowment rsnk Is now in good Unsocial condition. The Rathbone Bisters was organised In 18D1 with eight temples, and thare are now 130 temples, with Ave not reporting aad several other, in prospect. Creates n Sensation. urana cnsocellor Porterfleld created a sensation by the manner in which he went after peraons who had bea aeeklng vote, for office in the grand lodge by attacking other, and laying claim to knowledge of a clique or ring within the grand lodge. At the last session of the grand lodge a reso lution wss passed designed to prevent, as far as possible, the personal solicitation of votes, and early In March the grand chan cellor learned that persona were even then engaged In soliciting votes. He therefore sent out a letter to the representatives calling attention to their resolution and ad vising them not to. give their pledges until they met at the grand lodge. He urged that they utterly refuse to recognise letters or circulars soliciting support. This re ferred to those who were making attacks on the grand lodge officers and others. On this subject the grand chancellor said: Not a Political Organisation. We are not a political organisation In any sense of the word, and the member who dares to attempt to serve his own material Interests by prostituting to that pur pose an Institution that most of us believe Is too sacred and too holy for anything of that kind ahould be made to understand Instantly and emphatically that he has made a grave mistake. Some of the methods that have prevailed this yesr In the announcement of candidacies is an In sult to the Intelligence of this body and hhould be made a Pythian offense. If Indeed It la not that already. If there Is nothing more to thla order than office holding and ofllce aeeklng. then It Is high time that this grand domain should surrender Its charter; and to any member whose highest ambition, so far as the order Is concerned. Is to hold office In tt, I say to him, without fear of contradiction, that the order would be bet ter off without him. The laws of thla domain are known to all; the offenses are clearly defined; If there Is a ring In this domain whose purpose, aa dem onstrated by their present conduct or past record. Is to prostitute the affairs of this body to their own selfish purposes, to direct them for ulterior ends and unworthy mo tives, they are guilty of conduct unbecom ing a. Knight of Pythias and should be tried for the offense In the tribunals of the order and not In the announcement of acme candidate for office by ex-parte testi mony. The character of some of the an nouncements this year fall nothing short of scandalising the order and some of its officers and are outrageous, Indecent, un Pythlan and untrue. So far as I am personally concerned I want to go on record that there Is no offics nor official preferment within the gift of this order that would recompense me fur the Impugnment of a single official act, fn the mind of a single member of the order, and 1 want it understood that when I am suspected of misconduct that I demand that I be arraigned before the proper tribunal and not indirectly by an unlicensed circular iasued by someone who lurks covertly behind the methods sometimes used, but always condemned, In common ward politics.
