LODGE IN LIVELY DEBATES
After Sharp Discussions, Pendleton
Is Selected as Next Sleeting Place
and the Annual Date
Is Not Changed.
' Devoting almost all of yesterday to
tedious and prolonged discussion of the
new constitution and laws, delegates
attending the convention of the grand
lodge. Knights of Pythias, threw busi
ness cares to the winds last night and
enjoyed a banquet at the Commercial
Club at 6 o'clock.
The banquet was under the auspices of
the D. O. K. K., as printed on the In
vitation cards, which, being interpreted,
means the Dramatic Order of Knights of
Khorrassan. This organization is said
to be the fun adjunct of the serious
order of the Knights of Pythias. It
serves the banquets, provides the Jokes
and is also said to superintend the
journeys of many a novice across the
burning sands.
targe Class Is Received.
Judge W. L. Bradshaw, of The Dalles,
presided at the function last night In
the capacity of toastmaster and brief
speeches were made by a large number
of prominent Pythians. At the con
clusion of the banquet, the delegates re
turneri to Pythian Castle, Eleventh and
Alder streets, where a class of 50 or
more was initiated into the mysterious
ceremonies of the order. It was late
when these candidates had finished the
programme arranged for them, so another
banquet was served. The midnight ban
quet was served in the banquet hall of
the Castle.
Yesterday's sessions of the convention
were devoted almost exclusively to con
sideration and discussion of the various
clauses and sections of the new con
stitution and laws. During the entire
forenoon session no other matter was
brought before the convention and It
was revived immediately on the opening
of the afternoon session.
However, the monotony of the after
noon session was broken by the appear
ance of a team from Central Lodge, No.
8, of Salem, which introduced some third
ra.nk work in competition for the grand
lodge prize. Teams from Portland and
Rainier lodges will appear today to par
ticipate in the competition.
Discuss Date of Session.
Another digressing and really interest
ing incident was the discussion with
reference to the time of holding the
grand lodge conventions. The discussion
arose during the afternoon session and
developed into one of the most exciting
contests of the session.
Previous to two years ago it was custo
mary to hold the conventions In the Fall.
At that time the date was changed so
that the meetings would be held In the
early Summer. Yesterday afternoon an
attempt developed to return to the old
dates and the debate followed. However,
it was decided that the new dates should
be continued.
Following the discussion of dates, that
of a place of holding the next conven
tion arose. Two especially prominent
candidates for the honor were Pendleton
and Portland. The former won, so the
grand lodge convention, Knights of
Pythias, will convene In Pendleton next
June.
The 27th annual convention of the grand
lodge will be concluded today. The morn
ing session will be devoted to final dis
cussion of the new constitution and laws
and other business of minor importance
will be transacted. Committees will also
be appointed today and it is likely that
Grand Chancellor Moser will announce
the new deputy grand chancellors.
Pythian Sisters Election.
During the sessions of the grand lodge
in Pythian Castle the convention of
the Pythian Sisters has been in session
In the Abington building. The 15th an
nual convention of the organization
opened Tuesday morning with Grand
Chief Elizabeth Dunning presiding. Im
mediately after the opening exercises, 18
past chiefs and representatives were
escorted into the hall and upon them was
bestowed the grand lodge degree.
The annual election of officers of the
Pythian Sisters was held yesterday morn
ing. There were no contests and the elec
tions passed off very quietly. The fol
lowing were elected:
Grand chief, Margaret Slocum, of Lu
cette Temple, No. 14, Union: grand senior,
Inez Chase, of Justus Temple, No. 30,

MEASURES THE 0REG0NIAN
A Veteran Reader Voices His Criti
cal Appreciation. "
PORTLAND, June 16. (To the Editor.)
Certain it is that The Oregonian is pop
ular, and deservedly so. Willie its policies
have been advisory and suitable to the
occasion and the hour, its style and mat
ter have been always meritorious and Its
tone dignified, as well as conservative. '
Tlie editorial in last Saturday's issue.
In which some reasons were given for
The Oregonian's popularity why It has
been and Is still popular, recalls to my
mtnd a conversation of IB or 16 years ago,
I believe, In which E. V. Carter, Robert
McLan, myself and others engaged, and
during which The Oregonian, its staff
and its policies became the major theme
of conversation.
For Mr. Carter to say, "It Is among
a few ably managed and splendidly
equipped newspapers in the United
States," and for Mr. McLean to say that
"It had the acumen of a Gladstone and
the statesman-like address of a Burke
or a Pitt," was perhaps but to say what
other men have said before and since
then.
Aside from such reasons as have been
above stated, however, lies the well
known fact that The Oregonian is taken
and read by hundreds of people who care
not so much for Items of political inter
est and of general Import, as for what
things are excellent in style and In liter
ary statement; and, also, for what may
be worthily comprehended in dramatic
art, fine art and historic criticism almost
wholly upon these grounds of learning
and breadth of view.
While The Oregonian has been repeat
edly charged with inconsistency and with
out fixed policy, yet It stands today the
best representative of journalistic thought
on the Pacific Coast, and may be said to
be the best medium of newspaper Intelli
gence yet established In the West.

AFTER A. 0. H. CONVENTION
Coast Delegates Will Try to Bring
Gathering to Portland.
The delegates to attend the National
convention of the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians In Indianapolis, Ind., the early
part of next month, have completed all
arrangements and a strong delegation will
leave this city bent on bringing the next
National convention of that order, some
1200 strong, and an additional 1000 of the
ladies' auxiliary, not to speak of the al
ternates and immense throng of visitors
incidental to National conventions, to
Portland, two years hence.
Over 2000 scenic views of Portland and
vicinity, in neat book form, with appro
priate sketches printed therein, will be
distributed among the delegates at In
dianapolis, and 25 boxes of Hood River
apples and Ashland peaches will be sent
forward to tickle the palates of the as
sembled representatives from all over the
United States and Canada.
The Oregon delegation has the indorse
ment and support of the California,
Washington, Idaho and Montana delega
tions, who are strongly in favor of Port
land as the place for the next convention,
and the selection thereof is almost a
foregone conclusion.
The delegation 'will be headed by Dr.
Andrew C. Smith, and, It Is hoped, will
be 25 strong.

WILL GO ON NIGHT SHIFT
Executive Board at Last Capitulates
In Long Fight, but Suggests
There Is Great Need of Pa
trolmen in Suburbs.
Former City Detectives Day. Resing.
Snow and Carpenter have been ordered
by Chief f Police Grltzmacher to report
in uniform this morning for police patrol
duty. This is & reduction In rank and
pay, and whether or not they will obey
the order depends upon the instructions
they will receive from their legal adviser
Ralph El Moody. If they go to work,
they will be assigned to beats. In the
suburbs, following the suggestion made
by Police Commissioner Greene and
Sabin.
Ousted Two Years Ago.
While working as detectives two years
ago. Day, Resing. Snow and Carpenter
were discharged by order of Mayor Lane,
the charges being incompetency. They
have since carried on a stubborn fight in
the Executive Board, the courts and the
Civil Service Commission, and last week
the Commission ordered them reinstated.
It Is now obligatory upon the Executive
Board to place the former sleuths on
duty.
The matter was referred to the police
committee of the Executive Board last
week, and yesterday morning Chief
Gritzmacher received from the members
an order to instruct the four men to re
port for duty in uniform, and suggesting
that, inasmuch as the city has grown
remarkably within the past two years,
the boundaries having been greatly en
larged, it might be wise to assign them
to beats In the suburbs. It was further
suggested that there is a greater need
Just now of patrolmen on the night shifts
than there is on the day shifts.
Work on Second Shift.
"When asked as to what disposition he
would make of the four officers, should
they agree to do patrol duty, Chief Gritz
macher said he will assign them to out
lying districts, where there is great need
of patrol service, and that they will likely
be. placed on one of the night shifts. It
is said by sorne that there is reallv a
more crying need for officers of experi
ence on tne second nignt relief Just at
this time than on the first shift, and it
may be the quartet will travel beats on
that lonely shift, the hours being from
11:15 P. M. to 7:15 A. M. It is also sug
gested by some that, owing to the pres
ence of the Tongues of Fire sect, in
camp at Mount Tabor, it would be well
to dispatch the four officers to that
place for duty. That they be assigned
to patrol the Bull Run pipeline, is
another piece of useful work mapped out
by some.
At present Day is supervising his prop
erties, house rentals and other holdings,
which he purchased during his term of
service; Resing is special watchman at
the Security Savings & Trust Company's
bank; Carpenter holds a similar position
with the Merchants National Bank and
Snow is employed by the O. R. & N.
ITER OILY WITHIN CITY
BOARD DECIDES TO DISCOX
TIXCE OUTSIDE SERVICE.
Will Also Refuse, to Lay Mains on
Certain Streets Because Pave
ments Are Projected.
The Water Board, at a meeting yester
day afternoon, decided to furnish no
more water to persons living outside the
corporate limits of Portland. This Is be
cause the supply is short, the needs
great in the city at present, and the
funds at hand are low. It will be the
policy of the members to supply first
those in the most urgent need. Mayor
Lane, chairman, is holding hard and fast
to the rule that no mains will be or
dered put in anywhere just to get them
down before hard-surface pavements are
laid.
"Hard-eurface pavements are no more
sacred than any other improvement," de
clares Mayor Lane. "It will not do to
order mains laid just to get them In
ahead of bitulithic, asphalt or any other
pavement. We are in duty bound to fur
nish water supply first to those In great
est need, no matter about pavements.

The members of the Board also lis
tened to a verbal report of their special
legal counsel, R. D. Montague, on the
proposed ordinance giving the Mount
