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

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

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. Chancellor Porterfleld said lderfa AlSor, JXl'Sir
. ... .. ...... Algona, R. T. Chlpperneld; Armstrong, J.
he bad hoped when he took the office to be; a. Kettle: Bancroft. J. W. Oaden: Bel-
able to report a membership of 80,000. On
January 1 last the membership actually
J -... . ...
reported was 27,660. and reports of Increase
up to July 1 indicate that at that time the.
membership waa 29.290. Since July 1 three 1
, . . . , . . ..
lodges have been organlxed and another in-
stltuted, so that it is certain the member-
... . .
ship is now actually more tnsn so.ooo. in
. . ,, ,v
the thirty years of the existence of the
graid lodge there has not been a year but
that there has been a gain In membership.
..... 11 .,. . ,
There were consolidations of lodges In ev-
eral cities during the year and the chan-
.ellnr ran mm en ill that not more than two
lodges be permitted In any city. 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.
