WILL J | The representatives of the 0dd Fel- llows who are gathered together in | this city to attend the eighteenth an- | nual session of, the order had a sur- { prise sprung on them yesterday when it was announced that owing to the order’s having held a session at Balti- | more last year and to Washington’s proximity to that city the representa- tives from the national capital had been instructed to withdraw its ac- ceptance of the honor. Immediately a representative from Philadelphia was on his feet with the announce- ment that the Quaker City would wel- come the representatives next year. This announcement was received with applause and it was unanimously agreed to hold the eighty-first session in Philadelphia, beginning with the second Monday of next September. The selection of Philadelphia was not made without some opposition on the part of one Pennsylvania repre- sentative, who argued that the con- | vention should be held in a city that [ Market street. | To-Day’s Programme 10 a. m.—Grand parade on leading streets of the city. 1 p. m.—Sitting of Sovereign Grand Lodge in Native Sons’ Hall. | 2 p. m.—Concert in Mechanics’ Pavilion. 2 p. m—Meeting of Grand | | Encampment of California at | | 0dd Fellows' building. . 7:30 p. m.—Dress parade of | Patriarchs Militant in Me- Pavilion. m.—Prizes awarded by in Mechanics’ Pavilion. m.—Grand Ball, Me- Pavilion. nics’ 8 p.

These were all in | the line of radical changes in the| policy of the Odd Fellows and all, after much exciting discussion, met with defeat The first amendment that came up for consideration was the changing of the length of a grand representative’s term. It was proposed to adopt a ro- tary system, so that the representative ;u,nm be elected each year instead of every two years and thus enable him to attend eve session of the ordef. After a hard fight it was defeated, the Sovereign Grand Lodge deciding to retain the old arrangement. The amendment to the constitution to change the age eligibility from. 21 to 18 was defeated by a big majority. A fight was expected on this question, but when it came to voting the party favoring the introduction of young blood into the order was found to be a small minority. The next amendment to receive de- |feat at the hands of the voting rep- | resentatives was the proposition to al- low one representative from the Rebe- kah degree to be present at the annual | session of the Sovereign Grand Lodge. | | This was ungallantly defeated by an overwhelming majority and the sis- terhood must wait another year be- fore endeavoring to secure legislative recognition in the sovereign body. Another amendment that caused a fight was the proposal to change the constitution so as to admit the wine- growers of California to membership in the order. It stands now that no one engaged in the liquor business shall be eligible to membership. The amend-! ment was not considered by the Grand Lodge because it was not presented in the proper form. It is very likely that this amendment will be proposed again before the session adjourns. As predicted in The Call of yesterday, the big fight of the afternoon was the proposa¥ by a representative from In- | dian Territory to amend the constitu- tion so as to admit the half-breed In- dians, sons of early Odd Fellow settlers in that part of the country. The repre- sentatives of Oklahoma and Indian Territory argued long and earnestly for recognition for the white sons of In- dian mothers, but the amendment was resolutely defeated, the Northern and Eastern States voting solidly against the proposition. There were several minor events of interest that helped to vary the monot- ony of routine business.

Raney, through the | | hands of Miss Jessie Harris, the in- | \sngma. of the grand decoration of chiv- | alry. | “ ‘While the long lines of the battalions | of Patriarchs Militant stood at atten- | | tion General Raney addressed the men | chosen for the highest decoration in the | | order. He bade them advance to the | altar, which consisted of a large drum | placed in the center of the hall. on which rested an open Bible. To this | altar the men advanced and w asked | if they were ready to assume the obli- | gations that go with the acceptance of | | the decoration. In full, round tones | came the answer in unison “I am.” At | this the candidates for the honor were directed to kneel in a circle around the rum while they each repeated in uni- son the following vow: Of my ow will and accord, in the | | presence of these living witnesses, I volun | | tarily promise and pledge myselt to defend | maidens, w and orphans in their rights; this vow the men arose and formed in line across the Pa- | vilion. Then occurred speeches of ad- | | vice, wisdom, encouragement and | warning, spoken by the young women of the Rebekahs who participated in the ceremonies when the members of the Rebekah degree received the deco- | ration. | The first of the speakers was Miss i | Rachel E. Mitchell. She was followed | by Mrs. Mabel Richardson Kromiller. | Miss Edna Hales and Miss Carrie Inch. | Each of the befitting speeches received | loud applause from the audience. Then, | as the uniformed line kneit to be dec- | orated, little Miss Harris advanced and | recetving each insignia from the gen- | eral of the Patriarchs Militant pinned it on the breast of each kneeling man. As each man was decorated there came | a Tound of applause from the crowded | Pavilion. A short prayer by the brigade | chaplain, Major George T. Shaw, ended the ceremonies, Those who received the grand decora- llhn last night were: distances the maintained In well much applause. swords the Fel- and moved a little slow for the step set by the band.
