Siebe and James G. Kent- zell. The official visit of Grand Trustee James A. Devoto to Pacific Parlor was marked by the very cordial reception tendered him by the many members and visitors on the night of January 13 and by the great display of orator- ical fireworks during good of the order. The visiting official presented many facts and figures that were not only interesting but instructive. He alluded to the statements often made that Pacific Parlor is a “grabber” and that its hobby is to launch grand offi- cers. He said that be that as it may, Pacific has reason to be proud of the grand officers it has launched and he predicted that Pacific will launch an- other grand president in the person of D. A. Ryan, the silver-tongued orator not only of the parlor but of the order in San Francisco. Junior Past President Locke deplored the fact that he was only the second star, in the opinion of the visitor, but that as he is still young he hopes to learn and in time excel the future president of the order. ‘What he did say was masterly and was well received. “Bill” Langdon stood on his tiptoes and told his wonderful N 1 SOME PROMINENT MEMBERS | OF SAN FRANCISCO'S FRA- | TERNAL ORGANIZATIONS. ; ~ i “Jackrabbit story.” Like love's sweet whispering, it was the old, old story, but ever mew, when poured into ears willing to receive it. T. P. Martin, an- other star of the parlor, who is ever ready to “kick” on behalf of the mi- nority, spoke in a serious vein and gave the grand and petty officers and mem- bers much to-think about. Then fol- lowed talks by H. F. Dam, the Patrick Henry of the parlor; “Witch” Hazell, the intellectual genius, and several other hot air distributors. The last of the speakers was D. A. Ryan, “the future,” who delivered a speech that electrified the auditors by its bril- liancy. Not only was his address bril- liant, but it was full of humor, and some of those who preceded him in oratory came in for good natured chaff. The officers of Precita Parlor were installed by District Deputy Grand President William D. Hynes last week, after which there was the presenta- tion of a handsome desk and chair to | | e -]I = ‘‘Uncle” Daniel J. Wren the parior’ honored financial secretary, in token of the parlor’s appreciation of his services since he has filled that po: tion.

The initiatory work was performed by the officers in an excellent manner and during the conferring of the degree there was no smoking in the hall and no whispering. This struck the visitors as remarkable, and it was most fa- vorably commented upon by the grand officers, who expressed the hope that all groves will do likewise. This grove has an enviable reputation for the dig- nity of its members during the con- ducting of business, as well as the conferring of the degrees.
