The above officers were elected yesterday at the thirty-fourth annual convention of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythlaa of the domain of Iowa. Waterloo was selected as the place of the Grand lodge In 1904. The Grand lodge placed itself on record ns being favorable to the recognition of the Rathbone Sisters and Instructed Its repre sentatives to the supreme lodge to vote In favor of a measure to extend recognition to the Rathbone Sisters as a woman's auxil iary of the Knights of Pythlaa. The proposition to establish a Pythian sanitarium at Colfax was made a special order of business for 9 o'clock this morn ing. By resolution the Judiciary commit tee was Instructed to formulate a plan for changing the method of election of grand lodge officers, It being suggested that they be elected by the subordinate lodges. The reports of the several grand lodge officers showed that the order had made a material Increase In membership during the preceding year and that its finances were in excellent shape with a handsome bal ance In the grand lodge treasury. Welcomed to Cltr. Preceding the opening business se salon of the Pythian grand lodge yesterday 'morn ing in the New theater there waa a Joint meeting of the grand lodge and grand temple Rathbone Sisters at which a wel come was extended to the visitors by Mayor Dell G. Morgan. , Grand Chancellor O. M. Gillette, Mrs. Belle Quintan, supreme chief, and Mrs. R. I. Robinson of Oelweln, past grand chief Rathbone Sisters, made addresses In response. Clem F. Kimball, chairman of the local executive commit tee, presided. Mrs. Belle . Qulnlan of Gnlesburg, 111., made a strong plea for the recognition of the Rathbone Sisters of which she is su preme chief, by the Pythian supreme lodge. She proved herself a. most eloquent advo cate of the cause she was pleading and her address undoubtedly was responsible for the subsequent action of the grand lodge In Instructing Its representatives to the supreme lodge to vote in favor of the official recognition of the Rathbone Sisters. Mrs. Qulnlan said that while the Rathbone Sisters were seeking recognition as a woman's auxiliary to the Knights of Pythias and to which she felt they were oertalqly entitled, they did not want to be "adopted" or taken under the wing of the supreme lodge In such a way as would curtail or take away any of their rights to govern themselves. All they wanted was official recognition. The Rathbone Sisters, she said, had got to that point where they had to be reckoned with. She did not fear for Iowa as the knights of Iowa had always recognised the order as an auxiliary, but there were some states where the order was not so well known who would prob ably oppose its recognition by the grand lodge. One obstacle heretofore to the recognition of the Rathbone Sisters, she stated, was the fact that In the east was another woman's organization known as the Pythian Sisterhood and the two orders had been both knocking at the gate for ad mission. Negotiations, however, were now pending, she was glad to say, looking to the consolidation of the two orders. Mrs. Robinson ' of Oelweln, past grand chief, spoke" In place of Mrs, Carrie J. Hunter of Newton, the grand chief, who "was unable to be present on account of Illness. Mrs. Robinson told of the Insur ance feature of the order . and of the growth of the order which was represented in 130 towns In Iowa. She also made a strong plea for the recognition of the order by the supreme lodge. Marpby Withdraws. The morning session of the Pythian grand lodge was taken up with the reading of reports of the officers and placing In nom ination the candidates for the several offi ces to be voted on at the afternon session. Bernard Murphy of Vinton etated that he had withdrawn from the contest for state representative against Carl F. Kuehnle of Denlson, and his withdrawal brought to a close one of the bitterest fights lit the his tory of the Iowa Pythian grand lodge. Mr. Murphy withdrew In order not to handicap State Senator C. C. Powell's chances for re-election. Indications were that had Mr. Murphy remained In the field the election would have resulted in the selection of Kuehnle and Murphy and the defeat of Dowell, and Mr. Murphy withdrew rather than Impair Mr. Dowell's chances for re election.

Grand Chancellor Gl'.lette in hla report said: I am pleased to say that the reports from subordinate lodges Indicate that the order In this domain is having a healthy and vigorous growth, and that we may confidently look forward to a membership of H'.tXv in January, laoi. The So.uuO mark, for which we have been so arnetly striving, was m-arly reached In January, when the returns showed our membership to bo is. 4 1, larking less than l.tuo uf tho number ii'Mwrv to a-lva US aa additional representative la the su preme lodge. In thf coming January I am confident there will be nothing lacking, and that we will be safely above the mark and secure the additional representation. The financial condition of the order has continued to Improve, and I am glad to state that this grand lodge session will clnoo with a larger balance In the hands of the grand master of exchequer than we have had for many years. This gratifying reoiilt hw been reached through your wise legislation, nnd I trust at the present ses sion you will bo governed by the same wis dom that has controlled your legislation in the past. " During the year there has been four new lodges instituted, four consolidations and one surrendered. The Rathbone Slstero, I am pleased to state, have also had a prosperous year. They have now 1W) temples In this domain, and a membership of 7,500. composed of 3,oO) knltfhts and 4.500 sisters. In many lo calities1 they have been a decidedly helpful ally, and I hope In the near future they will receive tho official recognition they so Justly dosrve. This branch of the order shows a slight decrease In number of companies, caused by consolidations, but shows an Increase In membership. The number of companies, I am Informed, Is now twenty-seven, with a membership of 9fi3. The npws of the death of Brother Julien C Manchester of Ottumwa, brigadier gen eral of the Uniform Rank, came like a shock to his rrmny friends and acquaint ances. No knight was better known or better loved In the order, and his familiar face will be sadly missed at this session, and I recommend that the gTand lodge take such action as will best testify to our love ojid regard. II. D. Walker, grand keeper of records and seal, presented his twenty-ninth an nual report. It showed that on January 1, 190J, there were 407 lodges In Iowa, with a membership of 28,418, a net gain of 846 over the preceding year. The sum of $17,716.G6 had been paid out In sick benefits and $5,670.90 In funeral benefits. The receipts had been $38,6S4.18 and tho disbursements I14.0W.44, leaving a balance of $19,043.72 In the grand lodge treasury. Only Minor Contests. Tho election of Grand Chancellor Mols berry and other officers at the afternoon session was without contest, except in the cases of Inner guard and trustee. O. L. Wilkinson of Nepla and E. W. Winter of Cedar Rapids were the unsuccessful can didates for Inner guard, while W. W. Epps of Ottumwa failed of election as trustee. F. L. Ferris of Sioux City was appointed grand tribune, to fill the vacancy caused by the election of F. M. Molsberry as grand chancellor. Past Grand Chancellors R. B.
