These were two of the important proposals presented at the opening ses sion in the Masonic temple yesterday morning. Past Grand Chancellor Elevated. Principal among the other proceed ings at the brief meeting was the cere mony of conferring the supreme lodge decree upon a class of past grand chancellors from various parts of the country. Under the Pythian rules any member who has filled the office; of irrand chancellor in his state is eligi ble to receive the supreme lodge de gree. In accordance with this regula tion. M. G. Martindale, supreme master-at-arms, introduced the following past grand chancellors on whom the supreme lodge ranlc was conferred- in ritualistic form: Alabama. J. I.ee Holloway: Arizona. John Tf. Campbell. William O. Glllmore: British Columbia. Kmil Pfendner, Thomas Walker: California, Bldon H. . S. Winn, John 1 Chllds; Connecticut, Vincent M. Kins: Dela ware, James J. Cohen;.

Arbenz; Wiscon sin, Richard I. Warner. Pythian King: PMpeaed. The proposal for a Pythian flag was presented by several of the Ohio dele- prates. They suggest an ensign four by eix feet, consisting of three pieces of silk of equal size. The piece next to the pole is to be of blue, that in the center of gold and that on the outside of red. In the center of the gold piece la to be a 18-inch equilateral triangle of purple with the wfcute letters "K. P." in the center. In view of the fact that numeroua curious Pythian badges and emblems of various sorts have been placed on the market within the last few years and in further view of the fact that these oranments are frequently worn by impostor, it is proposed now to is.ue an official emblem in the form of a watch chain, to be distributed only through the office of the supreme keeper of records and seals. All Pyth- lans of whatever, rank: would be eligi ble to wear this emblem, but the use of other Pythian badges would not be prohibited. The proposal will be voted on later in the session Several Chanses Suffarested. CAMERA STUDIES OF SOME OF PYTHIANISM'S HIGH OFFICIALS. fcTi""l Sr "s. f1 ' fjS, . t ' V - - ii-fMl i-'j.
