DRILL TEAMS COMPETED.
DENVER KNIGHTS WON THE FIRST J
PRIZE AT LOUISVILLE.
Dependent aienibership Question
Caused a. Hot Flgh at the En
campmcjut Business Heetlngr.
liOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 28. Colorado
Commandery, No. 1, of Denver, before an
admiring: throng of 18,000 people, and under
the critical eyes of a "board of judges
composed of three regular Army officers
ard representatives pf the Knights
Templar, today captured first prize In
the competition, lor drill teams of the
commanderles of the Knights. St. Ber
nard, No. 33. of Chicago, the favorite with
the majority of spectators, captured sec
ond place, -while Golden Gate, No. 16, of
San Francisco, and Sanselman, No. 16,
of Cincinnati, came In for third and fourth
prizes, respectively. California Com
mandery, Jso. 1, being the only mounted
command, had no difficulty in capturing
the trophy for the beet appearance and
drill on horseback.
The drill was the feature of the day.
Interest was intensified by the fact that
It was the first since 1SS3, when Louisville
carried off first honors. The contest took
place on Churchill Downs, the home of
the Louisville Jockey Club. Long before
the exhibition began the regular grand
stand was filled and by U A. M. the
steps leading to it were crowded. A tem
porary stand built across the track was
jammed full, and thousands of people
were on" the field. It was a good-humored
crowd, and applauded the good work and
the breaks of the perspiring contestants
alike. Not one of the commanderles went
through the ordeal without mistakes,
which were evident to the crowd, but as
honors seemed about even in this respect,
everybody, except the judges, was in com
plete Ignorance as to the winners until to
night, when the awards were made known
"before an Immense throng in the horse
show building. "When H. P. Grant, chair,
man of the drill committee and author of
the tactics under which the contest was
conducted, opened the sealed envelope con
taining the verdict and announced that
the men from Colorado had captured the
chief trophy, the applause was deafening.
The Colorado men marched on the field
at the Downs this, morning, commanded
by Captain R, C. Kincald, of Denver. They
excelled in the sword movements and in
the Inspection there was never a per
ceptible mox-ement of a muscle on the
part of any member. A perfect storm of
applause followed the completion of the'
final movement. A number or oeautirm
display movements were executed by the
Denver commandery before leaving the
field.
At 8 P. M., in the horse-show building,
brilliantly lighted with rows upon rows
of seats occupied by uniformed Knights
and their ladies, the programme leading
up to the award of prizes was begun with
instrumental music and exhibit drills by
the commanderles. "When the verdict was
read the commanderles took positions ac
cording to their standing in the awards.
A score of Kentucky belles, acting as
sponsors, pr scnted the prizes. This over,
the cont-.itpnts and their sponsors led a
grand marn, after which dancing began.
The trophies were of silver and were aa
follows: First prize, 34 pieces, valued at
$3000; second prize, 25 pieces, libation set,
valued at $2000; third prize, center-piece,
valued at $1300; fourth prize, two pieces
(mounted), valued at $900; fifth prize, lov
ing cup, valued at $600.
What is known as the dependent mem
bership question precipitated a hot fight
at the meeting of the grand encampment.
It ended in the encampment sustaining
the ruling of Grand Master Lloyd. Briefly,
he holds that to be in good standing, a
Knight Templar must maintain his stand
ing in both chapter and lodge. The grand
master read an argument upholding his
position, and the matter then went to the
committee on jurisprudence. The commit,
tee brought in a majority report accepting
the grand masters stand in the matter,
but a minority report was also submitted
and hotly advocated on the floor. The two
reports were Anally submitted to the
members of the encampment. 250 of whom
were present, and the vote sustained the
majority report by over 200 ballots. The
jurisprudence committee also brought In a
report sustaining the grand master in his
position that a grand master cannot
create a Knight Templar at sight, after
the ancient fashion of Kings, who
knighted soldiers on the field of battle.
This question has been a mooted one, as
there has always been an element favor
ing the granting of this privilege to the
grand commander, who would thus be
able to honor prominent men in the way
of universities and colleges conferring de
grees on distinguished persons.
The encampment decided to put the as
sessments of Sir Knights back to 5 cents
per capita a year. At the Pittsburg con
clave the rate was reduced to 3 cents, as
the encampment had more money than it
knew what to do with. Grand Recorder
Mayo said tonight that there was still
plenty of money on hand, and the adop
tion of the old rate had no particular
significance.
A committee to select the time and
place for the next conclave was appointed.
The committee will report tomorrow after
noon or Friday.
Grand Master Lloyd called the meeting
to order at '5 A. 31., when various reports
were submitted and referred to the va
rious committees. This took all fore
noon. The committees made only partial
reports on the recorder's and treasurers
reports, but accepted the grand master's
after a few unimportant changes. The
report of the grand master contained the
following:
"The order is Jn a most satisfactory and
healthy condition, and steadily growing.
The present term, which began July 1,
1S99, commenced with 114,540 members and
closed with 125.10S. The order Is in a
much more healthy condition than it was
before the promulgation of the decision
that voluntarily remaining a non-anlliate
In lodge or chapter for six months would
affect membership in a commandery, for
now every member of the order is sus
taining it, root and branch.
"Since our last session, a formal treaty
of peace has been entered into between
the United States and Spain. By 90 days
of actual warfare, over 10,000,OC5 of peo
ple, occupying more than 260,000 square
miles of the earth's surface, were freed
from oppression. Where it was danger
ous to be a Mason, our order may now se
curely spread its humanizing and elevat
ing influences. The schoolhou&e and the
lodge can labor together to brush aside
ignorance and superstition and teach the
down-trodden people the blessings of civil
and religious liberty. "We should indteed
feel proud as we do that a Templar was
the guiding spirit in bringing about this
happy change to so many human beings.
The sphere of our usefulness Is gradually
enlarging. Our labor is but commencing.
"We must press onward until liberty and
enlightenment shall illuminate the world;
unai every land and every people shall
have heard and rejoice at the fulfillment
of the proclamation made by the angels
at the coming of him whose followers we
are, 'On earth peace, good will toward
men.' "
The report of the grand treasurer, W. H.
Uns, showed receipts of $11,659, and -net
cash resources of $47,236.
The report of the grand recorder, Wil
liam IT. Mayo, contained these figures:

PRESERVATION OF THE FORESTS.
GOVERNOR NOT SPARED
NEBRASKA REPUBLICANS DE
NOUNCED HARTLEY'S PAROLE.
Benefits to lite Water Snpply of the
Vew "Reserves.
DENVER, Aug. 28. At today's sessions
of the American Forestry Association, a
number of papers were read and dis
cussed. "The Hydrography of Colorado"
was the subject of a paper by A. L. Fel
lows, of Denver. He said that the work
of the division had emonstrated that the
flow of the streams of the arid region,
taking the year through, would furnish
more than enough'ater -1 or practical use.
A paper by F. H. Newell, hydrographer
of the geological survey, explained the
benefits to the water supply of the forest
reserves. He said:
"Full development of the resources of
the United Statfes, especially In the arid
"West, rests upon a complete utilization of
the water for irrigation, power and mu
nicipal as well as domestic supply. The
conservation of the water and the protec
tion from pollution, both natural and arti
ficial, rests largely upon the proper treat
ment of the forests at the headwaters of
the streams. There can be no question as
to the beneficial influence of these for
ests, although the extent of tihls Influence
may be and still Is open to investigation
and discussion. The forests, with the ac
cumulation of vegetation upon the ground,
serve to break the force of the rain and
regulate the run off; excessive soil eros
ion is to a large extent prevented and the
wafers drained from the forests are as
a rule free from suspended mineral mat
ter. The Government has set about the
protection of the forests upon the head
water streams of the West and Congress
has under consideration legislation tend
ing Vo promote the construction of large
reservoirs with or adjacent to the forest
reserves.
"There are to be found upon the bead
waters of the streams many valleys whose
outlets can be closed by a dam of mod
erate height, holding back the water from
melting snow or from occasional streams.
These natural reservoir sites are being
surveyed and their capacity and cost as
certained. The amount of water available
by storage Is also being measured and
facts recorded so as to make it possible
to know definitely the benefits to be de
rived from the construction of tfhese hy
draulic works.
"One of the sources of anxiety and un
certainty In regard to these reservoirs Is
the matter of silt or sediment. The flood
waters roll along sand, gravel and even
boulders, depositing them, wherever the
current Is checked. These floods entering
the artificial reservoirs are brought to
a halt and quickly lay down their load,
forming a coating or layer of mud In the
reservoir, tending to diminish the storage
capacity. If the water comes from forest
slopes, where the soil Is protected and
held by roots, the amount of sediment
may be negligible; but if, on the othef
hand, these forests are cut away, the un
derbrush and humus burned, the driving
storms soon attack and move the loose
earth and disintegrated rock, starting It
on its journey down the slopes to be final
ly caught In the reservoir below. Thus it
happens that it Is of the first importance
for the prolonged life of the reservoir that
every care should be taken to perpetuate
the forest cover upon the catchment area
wherever this can assist in Holding the
soil."
S. P. Lukens, of Pasadena, Cal., read
an interesting paper on "The Reforesta
tion of the Watersheds." He said:
"That the depletion of forests causes
extremes of floods and drouth is shown
by the present condition of Southern
California as contrasted with the same
area prior to the inroads of unrestricted
sheep and cattle grazing, wasteful meth
ods of lumbering and destructive fires.
Originally the mountains and valleys were
well forested, and the streams nowea
continuously! The effect of these abuses
Is seen in the decreased flow of streams
and the Tapid deterioration of the orig
inally productive soil. The remedies pro
posed are the absolute prohibition of
grazing, except within fenced' areas, tho
employment of rangers-to guard against
fires and to enforce the grazisg regula
tions, and the Inauguration of improved
methods of lumbering, under trained
foresters."
"The Underflow of Water in Southern
California" was the subject of a paper
by William H. Knight, of Los Angeles.
Mr. Knight spoke of the underflow from
subterranean streams which lie hundreds
of feet below the surface, are reached
only by penetrating through thick layers
of impervious rock, and have their
sources far distant. He described the
underflow as following the courses of
streams which, in tho rainless season, are
insignificant or apparently dry. Their
beds consist of accumulated deposits of
sand from 10 to GO feet in depth. Un
derneath this sand, and lying on the hard
rock, Is a stratum of gravel and some
times small boulders, through which the
water that has percolated from- the
stream above finds an adequate channel
for a steady movement of the undercur
rent. The examples of the Cities of Los
Angeles, San Diego and Riverside in
obtaining their -water supply Were cited
as illustrating the value of this under
flow in furnishing an abundant and con
stant supply of pure water. The possi
bility was pointed out that many streams
In the arid region between the Mississippi
and the Pacific, apparently worthless at
the surface, contain beneath the bleach
ing sands sufficient water to develop
large areas of agricultural lands, and
to supply abundantly the towns and cities
which would consequently grow up In
the now deserted valleys.
This evening an illustrated lecture on
"Tho Government and the Forest Re
serves" tvas given by GIfford PInchot,
Forester of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Resolutions Adopted Demanding: Re
turn of the ex-State Trcnsurcr

Regents of University Carl J. Ernest,
of Lancaster; H. L. Gould, of Keith.
The action of Governor Savage in parol
ing from the penitentiary ex-State Treas
urer Joseph S. Bartley, furnished, as was
expected, the only real excitement of
the convention. An effort to dispose of
the vexed question of an indorsement or
disapproval of the Governor's action out
side the convention signally failed. Sup
porters of the Governor did not succeed
In having all resolutions rcferre'd to- the
committee on platform without debate,

not like this rebellion and sent a detail of
light horsemen to make the arrest. The
books cannot be found.
A'RIOT AT NOME.
SIMON BURNS HAS A PLAN
Attempt to Take Forcible Possession
of a Rich CInim.
SEATTLE? Wash., Aug. 29. Sixty-five
determined men, armed and masked,
sought to take forcible possession of a
piece of rich mining ground in tho Nome
district August' 15. The property.is known
as the famous California Fractional
Bench, above Discovery, on Glacier Creek.
It was In possession of Finley Mcintosh
and a force of 18 men. As a result of the
conflict Richard O'Connor, a Mcintosh
workman, lies in a hospital at Nome with
a bullet wound in his left t'high, which,
It Is feared, will cause the loss of the
limb, and possiblv his life. Thirteen of
the invading force were arrested by Unit

The Forecasters' Convention.
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 23. "Forecasts"
and "Forecasting" were the subjects han
dled at today's session of the Weather
Bureau officers in convention. Among the
papers read was one written by Henry
J. Cox, professor of meteorology, Chicago.
Mr. Cox contended that after men have
qualified as general and local forecasters
and shown that they are ableMo make
good predictions, their forecasts should be
exempt from technical verification, and
they should be encouraged to make the
best possible forecasts in the interests of
the public, and absolutely without regard
to verification.

G. A. R- Credentials Committee.
CLEVELAND. Aug. 2S. Commander-in-Chief
Rasseur. of the G. A. R., has named
the committee on credentials of the com
ing encampment In the persons of Adjutant-General
Sterret and Assistant Adjutant-Generals
Rogers of Missouri Thatch
er of Connecticut, Casson of 6hio and
Robbins of Colorado and Wyoming. This
committee will sit September 10 and 11 at
the Hollenden Hotel, in this city.
but the committee itself reported in turn
against the parole, and, while not im
pugning the motives of the Governor, de
manded the return of the' ex-Treasurer to
the penitentiary and 'was sustained by
the convention.
Judge Benjamin S. Baker, the tempo
rary chairman, on assuming his office,
made a brief address. The nominations
were made without friction and then the
platform was read. After highly com
mending the policies, purposes and
achievements of the National Administra
tion, the platform continues:
"The right of every man to enjoy the
fruit of his labor should be Insured by
every known safeguard. Its invasion,
either. by the blacklist or by the boycott,
is contrary to the spirit of American in
stitutions. Wo recognize the right of
wage workers to organize for mutual
protection and the promotion of mutual
interests, and we demand for them most
ample protection against coercion in any
form. But we draw the line at violence
and lawlessness, which must be sup
pressed for the maintenance of law and
order and the preservation of the liberties
guaranteed to all.
"We favor the encouragement of irri
gation under state and National legisla
tion." On the Bartley parole, the platform
says:
"The Republicans of Nebraska disclaim
for the party any sympathy with custo
dians of public money found guilty of
the betrayal of sacred trusts. Without
Impugning the motives of th$Govcrnor m
any way, we deprecate any exercise of
executive clemency tending to create the
false impression that the Republican
party is disposed to condone the unlaw
ful embezzlement of public funds under
any circumstances and we request the Im
mediate recall of the parole granted to
Joseph S. Bartley by the Governor."
Before action was taken on the report,
the privilege was asked and granted Gov
ernor Savage to make a statement. The
Governor explained at considerable length
his reason for granting a parole to Glv
Bartley. He reminded the convention
that he alone was responsible, and that
if he had erred In his act of clemency
to a man convicted of embezzlement, the
fault must rest with himself Jnd not with
the Republican party of the state.
Following the Governor's statement, tho
debate on the concluding paragraph of
the resolution began In earnest and for
an hour furnished the only real excite
ment of the convention. The speeches
were marked by bitterness and Governor
Savage was not spared. While his action
was warmly defended by a number who
credited him with only the best motives,
the convention placed the stamp of disap
proval on the parole and by a vote of"
998 to 167, adopted the platform as a
whole.
The convention, at 7:15 o-'clock, adjourned.
-rifles, guns and revolvers, and all wear
ing black cloth masks, came running from
behind the' dumps, where tho men h.ad
beeV at work. ' They ordered tKem off the
ground, and ran into the tents where the
shift men were, and told them to get out
as quickly as possible. Then 'a numher
of them ran down the hill to where Rich
ards and his men were in camp.
O'Connor, who was in bed, began to put
on his shoes, but apparently he did not
hurry fast enough, so they shot him. It'
all occurred so quickly that they could
hardly realize what had happened. At
Nomo those arrested wero admitted to
$10,000 bail each. All were released.
The litigation tfhat resulted in violence
is of long standing, is almost inextricably
complicated, and has had several sensa
tional episodes. The late violence was
the third attempt made forcibly to take
possession of the ground in dispute, one
of which succeeded, and the other failed,
the attacking party encountering a force
"larger than they anticipated, and they re
tired without an exchange of compliment's.

PITTSBURG, Aug. 2S. The Steel Cor
poration continues making gains in this
district, and today added enough men to
its force at th6 Star plant to insure the
working of two mills, double turn, night
and day, from now on. The management
asserts that the entire plant will be on full
before the week ends. The strikers say
this assertion cannot bo made good.
In pursuance of Its announced plan to
run all of its plants absolutely nonunion,
the American Tlnplate Company today
commenced advertising for nonunion men.
AH applicants are offered, the best wages
and permanent employment, but in every
case the application must be personally
presented and the applicant declare him
self free from all union control. The com.
pany has not yet made an attempt to start
either Its Monongahela or Demmler
plants, but announce that both will be
started soon. When asked today what he
thought of the tinplate company's avowed
intention of breaking away from the
union entirely. President Shaffer, of the
Amalgamated Association, said:
"Where will they get men to run their
plants? If we thought the men could be
secured, the threat might frighten us.
Until we are assured that they are forth
coming, we will keep our nerve."
The latest official declaration from steel
sources is that the strike can now be
settled only by the men going back to
the mills. The position the officials take,
it is said, is that the strike is over, so
far as their dealing with the strikers as
a body Is concerned.
Notwithstanding the well-defined posi
tion taken by the Steel Corporation as to
a settlement, another arbitration scneme
was launched this evening by Simon
Burns, president of the Window Glass
Workers' Association. Mr. Burns pro
poses an arbitration committee selected
from among such men as Archbishop Ire
land, Bishop Potter, Seth low, ana
others of like prominence, who,
after having the entire matter ex
plained to them by both sides to the con
troversy, should have absolute authority
to decide upori terms of settlement, their
decision to be final and accepted by both
parties. Mr. Burns says he has Presi
dent Shaffer's sanction for the move, and
If the corporation will agree to the plan
the strike will be declared off at once.
None of the steel officials here will dis
cuss the matter In any way.
Following Is Burns' plan in detail:
"The first and most important matter
is to get both sides to sign an agreement
to arbitrate; then the resumption of the
plants and the selection of the arbitrators.
With this In mind, I submit the following
as a basis for arbitration:
"First That President Shaffer and Pres
ident Schwab, representing both sides,
shall sign an agreement to arbitrate, and
that the decision of a majority of the
board of arbitration shall be final and
binding to all parties connected with
both organizations.
"Second That Immediately upon both
sides agreeing to arbitrate, President Shaf
fer and the officials of his organization
shall promptly call off tho strike and or
der all men to return to work; that they
must all accept the decision.
"Third That all workers who ceased
to work on order of President Shaffer or
the officials of the organization shall be
allowed to return to work In their re
spective places and without prejudice or
discrimination.
"Fourth That the arbitration board
shall consist of three members, each party
,to select one, tho third to be selected by
Ihe two named.
'Fifth That ,each side shall publicly
announce the names of the men selected
within 24 hours after signing the agree
ment; that the board shall organize with
in five" days thereafter and render a de
cision in writing, signed by at least two
members, within at least 14 days.
"Sixth That all testimony shall be
taken under oath and the board shall have
full authority to summon any person con
nected with either aide and shall have
access to examine any record, paper or
document In connection with the same
and shall also have the right to hear any
person not connected with either side.
"Seventh That each organization shall
have the right to select two representa
tives to attend the meeting of the board
and cross-examine witnesses.
"Eighth That if at any time during the
year there is any dispute about the Inter
pretation or intent of the board's decision,
and If the proper officers of the organiza
tion cannot peacefully decide and settle It,
It shall then be referred to the chairman
o the board, of arbitration and his de
cision shall be recognized by both slues.
"In the selection of arbitrators as a
rule each side secures a representative
strongly in favor of Its particular Inter
ests, prejudiced and opposed to the other
side, and under such conditions the settle
ments rests with the third party, who
sometimes Is selected by lot, thereby caus
ing dissatisfaction and perhaps resulting
In a decision not on the merits of the
case nor with fairness and justice to both.
To get both organizations together and
reach a settlement, I suggest that Presi
dent Shaffer request and accept Bishop
Potter as a representative of his asso
ciation, and President Schwab request or
select Seth Low, of New York, of Arch
bishop Ireland, which three gentlemen
have signified a willingness to serve. This
will give at least two good men to start
with."
In answer to the Burns communication,
President T. J. Shaffer has replied, say
lntr: "I am perfectly satisfied with your ar
rangement and am willing that you shall
do what you can to procure Its adoption."
Mr. Shaffer declared tonight that the
strike, in spite of the claims of the other
side to the contrary, is proceeding sat
isfactorily, and that his association is
making such inroads upon the corpora
tion's business that it will bo compelled,
sooner or later, to come to terms. His
men, he says, are firm all along the line,
and are determined to stand for their
rights to the end, He says the few mills
that have been started arc doing little
effective work. The fact that the cor
poration is adding to Its forces daily docs
not worry the president. He believes
them to be either unskilled or poor work
men, who will be a drawback rather than
a help to their employers.
The peace proposition sent out by Pres
ident Shaffer to the members of the exec
utive board of the Amalgamated Asso-J
elation, for their approval previous to
presentation to the United States Steel
Corporation by the representatives of the
National Civic Federation lends color to
the peace rumors, and the provisions of
the plan were being discussed by the
strikers at Lindsay & McCutchaon's
works today. The proposition provides
for a provisional scale not to be signed
for this plant, leaving recognition of the
union open. The men stated that they
were prepared to return to work tomor
row under these conditions. They stated
that all they would require will be that
the Amalgamated scale be paid, and that
union men be allowed perfect liberty, and
that no discrimination be shown.
Wheeling dispatches today say that
nothing is known of the alleged confer
ence of labor leaders said to have been
held there recently to device a plan to
settle the steel strike, and the story Is
believed to be without foundation.
