MEETING S OF IMPORTANCE Animal Election Will Take Place ud Proposal for Benefits Settled Diirtus the Gathering:. One hundred and fifty delegates to the state gathering of the Knights of Pythias arrived in the city last evening on the night express and proceeded on to Seaside, to attend the sesion. Be- cause of the large number of delegates additional cars were required, and the train was a long one. When the dele gates reached the city rain was fall ing, but, despite the unfavorable weather, they expect to hold a most enjoyable and Interesting convention. The train went on through to Seaside, where the delegates were cared for by the local members of the order. At As torla the delegation from this city Joined the visitors and proceeded on to vth Deaeh with them. The grand lodge meeting will be be gun this morning, and in many re spects it promises to be one of the most interesting ever held In the state. The election of officers is attracting most attention, for the reason that, un der the new rule adopted, the highest offices may be filled from the floor. In the past it was compulsory to ad vance officers according to the posi tions which they held, except grand Inner guard and grand outer guard. Fwr all offices above inner guard seniority has prevailed in the past, but this rule has been abolished. Now the , highest office may be filled by any member of the order, and as a result there will be some active campaign- j tag. Whereas in the past elections wre mere formalities, now they will be fraught with all the Interest and un certainty ' which usually characterlaee open contests'. Sick benefits and funeral payments will probably be taken up at the sea slon. At the last meeting of the su preme lodge a statute was enacted making it optional with grand lodges whether any sick benefit should be paid. Prior to that time a benefit was : Compulsory. This year the Oregon lodge will have the right to prescribe a compulsory benefit, abolish the com pulsory benefit,' or leave the matter optional with subordinate lodges. This Question Is. exciting much interest tmong the members, as It has among all fraternal orders, and it seems prob able that benefits will be left optional with subordinate lodges In all cases they being allowed to pay when they desire, and in such amounts as the In dividual case requires. ' , One of the most interesting features of the session will be the initiation of SO members into the Khorassan de part ment The candidates must cross the burning sands and go through oth er similar stunts in order to prove their fidelity and fit themselves for the re sponsibilities of membership. Among those who. arrived last night were Supreme Representative W. M. Cake, of Portland; Grand Chancelor Waldman, of Portland; Grand Vlce Chancelor L. M. Curie, of Albany; Grand Prelate M. F. Davis, of Union; Grand Master of Exchequer J. W. Ma- loney, of Pendleton; Grand Keeper of Records and Seal R. t Stlnson. of Salem; Grand Master at Arms G. C. Mosier. of Portland; Grand Outer Guard D. Boynton, bf Baker City. Ev ery county In Oregon, with the possible exception of one or two, will be rep resented at the meeting. Seaside has made elaborate preparations to enter tain the visitors, and during the con vention will hold a clambake. FINE BICL AT HEDRICK'S. Packsd Housss Greet Performers at Popular Playhouse. ' Hedrlck s theater presented one of the nicest, cleanest bills this week that the lovers of music and comedy and real acting have ever witnessed In As toria, and as usual had a packed house for all three shows. Johnnie Downey opened the show with the beuatlfully Illustrated song, "For the Sake of So ciety." The song was well rendered with beautiful pictures. Next came the fun factory, the Jupiter trio, who kept the audience In an uproar from the time they showed their faces un til the curtain went down; and not only did they make them laugh, but convinced everyone In the audience that they were the cleverest singers and dancers ever seen In vaudeville in Astoria. J. Howard Maxwell was ntxt on the bill with up-to-date songs and sayings that have not teen chewed over by other performers for a cen tury. Then came the Carters with a very high-class musical comedy act which was thoroughly enjoyed by the audience from start to finish. To take the bill all In all it Is one of the clev erest, best balanced that Astoria has ever had the pleasure of witnessing since Astoria began to get the 10-eent habit. Mr. Hedrlck wishes to call at tention to the fact that a child is ad mitted free with each ticket purchased at 'matinees every day for the balance of the week, and promises an entire change of program for Thursday and the balance of the week. Watch the paper for the big show next week. CARRIED OUT BY THE GALE Two Sections of Columbia River Jetty Give Way Before Fury of Elements. SIX LIVES ARE IMPERILED BEST BILL YET OFFERED. Show at the Star This Week Draws Crowded Houses. The 700 people who crowded the Star, to the doors last night pronounc ed the bin by far the best yet pre sented at Astoria's fashionable thea ter. There have been Other good bills, but last night's waa a record-breaker. The show opens with the clever turn of Perry and Whiting, a sketch team of ability. Bell and Dalton, the fea ture of the entertainment, follow in German dialect and comedy that Is really side-splitting. These comedians eel any others who have' ever ap peared In Astoria, and their work last night took the house by storm. Wes tln, impersonator, Is decidedly good, and last night he "made up" as some of the world's great men in truly won derful fashion. Katherine Kreigh, the Tryolean warbier, renders several ex- nAiipnt selections, while Mr. Scott's i . . tom is aulte popular. The moving pictures are aiso Interesting and con elude the beat bill yet presented at the Star. The new theater has been pro vided with 500 opera chairs, and Is now one of the most conveniently arranged playhouses in the Northwest. Men Marooned at Outer End of Breakwater and Are ltes. cued With Much Difficulty. The heavy storm of yesterday morn ing carried away two sections of the Columbia river Jetty and for a, time threatened the lives of six men who were at work at the extreme oute end of the breakwater. The men were res cued, however, after much effort on the part of members of the Point Ad ams life-saving crew. , ( The storm came up early Vesterday morning and about 10 o'clock was rag- .... ..... . jAj,r .V Ing with great fury. Great rollers were driven in from the ocean with terrific force, but there was no intimation that the Jetty would . not withstand the storm. The six men were' engaged in unloading rock cars." ShortlJU. before the waves tore the holes In the Jetty, a rock train had left the end of the Jetty and the men were awaiting the arrival of another train. The first break oceurred about half a mile from the outer end, and a short time later. a second break occurred, about a mile and a half from the end. , The six men were thus left on the outer portion of the Jetty which had withstood the force of the elements. In the party were the two Gosser brothers, Robert Falconer, Gus Larson, a man named Humphrey and another named Stout It was feared the outer por tion of the breakwater would be car ried away and the men drowned, so no time was lost In getting out the! Point Adams life crew. However, the life-savers found It impossible to get near the men, owing to the heavy seas. The crew made heroic efforts to res cue the imperiled men, but the boat was driven back by the seas." Finally the bar tug Wallula came along and Captain Reed offered to tow the life boat to the end of th'e Jetty. The offer was accepted and the trip was made In safety. The six men Jumped into the sea and were picked up by the life-savers. All - escaped Without serious Injury. The disaster will tiave the effect of seriously Interfering with the bar im provement White a definite statement as to the extent of the damage done could not be secured last night, It was stated by Robert Gray, a Hammond merchant, that fully a quarter of a mile of Jetty had gone out. This will nec essitate considerable repair work and delay the Improvement. The ac cident is deplorable, especially as it has happened early in the season, In dicating that further damage may be done by the heavier storms that will rage later- on. 1 ' Wise Says: One good suit deserves a n H other.
