whatsoever for such scrvico
and tho" prosont salary has not
been increased for 11 fteen years or

"This lias produced a congestion,
an attempt to remedy (wlitich was
made at our last annual session at
Bristol, Va., when an appropriation
wub made for this purpose. Just
prior to the sesj/on of tho Girnn<l
"Lodgo, Knights of Pythias, on tho
third Tuesday in Juno, 1922, chccks
wore drawn in favor of tho Grand

tho Grand, Lodge, aggregating- (|28,2(49.64)
Twenty-eight Thousand,
Two lfundrod and Forty-nine Dollars
and Sixty-four Cents, boaides

out of this fund.
"In addition to this amount,
checks in favor of the Grand Court
aggregating ($14,351.40) Fourteen
Thousand, Three Hundred, nnd, Fiftyone

of Deposits (treasurer) had
been paid out of the personal account
o? John Mitchell, Jr. This
mado a total of ($42,001.04) Fortytwo
Thousand, Six Hundred and One
Dolia-rs and Four Cents. There had,
been a discrepancy in this account
before and the Grand Chancellor had
previously suggested nn axiuit or ins
personal nccount.
"He wan Informed late one nfternQon
by tho Ctshier tlint there was
an over-draft of ($28,000 .00) Twenty-eiglit
Thousand Dollars in this
account. As he had deposited all
amounts recelvod, by him to this
?oco\mt and ho carried no othor
account anywhere eiso, ho informed
tho Cashier that lie would haTc t?he
order written and tako up tho overdraft.
'His clerks were behind in
tlioir work and ho could not find out
at once, tho status of affairs. H<^
suggosted that a note bo given, that
is made out for tho amount of tho
ovor-d,raft to bo held until tho orders
could bo socurod. Tho Cashier stated
that thflt? was the end of tho
quarter and ho had to close his
Toport. fthat afternoon # The Grand
Keeper of Records and Seal and tho
'Grand 'Master of Exchequer could
not bo reached at once. His then
took twoicliocks and, hvroto drafts o;i

stating that when he got tho ordora,
ho would tako them up and substl
tuio cneous ior uioin. uxicii uiu imu.ter
could bo adjusted.
"These chocks or draltB -were not
concealed, but became a part of tho
ofllclitl records of tho Grand Lodge
and Grand Court . A report on them
would, ihe made to tho bodies at their
noxt annual sessions. The Grand
Chancellor, \undor tho Constitution
and iByilalWs, .Article VI, "Section 1,
Pago 5, of the Constitution had the
power and authority to do this. IIo
lator directed tl?at orders be written
for this amount.. Tho Grand Keeper
of Records and Seal expected, to

and on his own motion called at Tho

death of ihls daughter, ho did not go.
"Qne .of these orders was used,,
but it -was sent to him to a'ftijx the I

Garwy are attracting considerable at *

ideas and methods are being attracted

"Prijrte in Race" and one thai is a.ci

of 'Pride in Race" he says: "It would _r
be a mistake to conclude that Garvey'
ism is the product purely of the hrava j
lo which expresses itsojf in Garvey'a {le
uniforms and in the gorgeous feat hen pp
Jiat adorn Ms hat as he rides in vi]
?l)ory or of the equally gorgeous pre-!
entiousnoss of his programme. What; r c

>erverted and tho quaMty exaggerat-' inj
Ml. Garvey's whole appeal is address tir
h1 to the ihstinct of self-reliance. With wi
ill Its bombast and absurdity and j M<
nad quixotism*, it', is an appeal to raooj jol
irjjtle. The injury tlbat it has done tojUr

m appoal to false prido of race."
Tho writer praises the sound doeirfcno
of tho lato Bookor T. Washing-*
'.on, for ho says: "Bookor Washing
:on also appealed to race pride, but i.
was tho prido that set men, not to
chasing rainbows, but to self-respect
Ing wdrk and to servico of tho commonwealth
.
"Drt is perhaps significant that Garvey,
who proclaims himself tho Pro
visional Prosldont of tho Republic of
Africa, is not an American but a Wes?
Indian and that the notion of 'Africa
for tho Africans' was not ovon originally
hi)s own, but was borrowed in
London from Dusk Mohammed Ali,
half Negro and half Egyptian. This
sort of thing is not likoly to have any
permanent Influence on Americans,
white or black.

Pressure lias been brought on Chan
man William Muldoon to permit a
bout between Jack Dempsey and Bill
Brennan in this city. The commission
some months ago refused a sanction
l'or such a liqut, but bince the G< vorjior
of Indiana prohibited the pair
mooting at M.lchjgan City efforts have
boon made to stage the match in tin*
vicinity. Tex Richard is willing to un
dertake the promotion of the bout and
tho proposition has been submitted to
Mr. Muldoon. When asked yesterday
If ho would givo his ensent t>o the bout
Mr. Muldoon said:
"On oondition that Brennan first, of
all boxes tho next best of the whito
heavies. I will not select tho man but
will be satfcsfiod with any man chosen
by the newspapers. My opinion Ik
thati Billy Miske, who 1b 40 per cent
hotter than ever before in his career,
would be a good opponent for Brennan
tho winner to meet Dompsey. How
over if any one can name a suitable
pponont for Brennan I will be pleasmi
frt l?h?c.? ?+ "
?v. u?vui Li. au mi uh u urcnnnnDompsey
match is concerned I will
not sanction It. but it Brennun wlu
defeat Mtfsko or some hoavy-wei'ght.
who is considered a good match for
Llio Chicagoan then I will sanction a
match between Brennan and the
champion.
Chairman Muldoon was not eni. iusi
nstic over the performance of Tut'
JTackson, hut admitted that Now York.
Iiad boon hoodwinked by tko handler*
ctf the man. Mr. Muldoon was present1
at the weighing of Jackson, and whon|
Llio scales registered 188 >pounds the'
chairman said: "Whero is the tth^rl
12 pounds? Your manager said you'
weighed 200 pounds. You told poop.* j
you wore 6 feet 1 Inch tall and iho
measure shows you are but 6 feet 10
Inches "
'Muldoon said afterward '(Wat Tut.
measured up to specification in only
one respect and that was as to tha
side of his feet. |
It Is freely predicted that the next j
time McCarney attempts to introduce

Lion of New Yorkers he will get a fros
