THE ENCAMPMENT
Camp Colfax Is on Hope street be
tween Ninth and. Tenth, and isrnade up
of over fifty tents which are pitched,
about a hollow square; those for the'
officers located, on the north end. Brig.
Ger. C. C. Sherman, department com
mander, has a telephone, Incandescent
lights and other facilities for modern
warfare ln his tent, which is large and
roomy, and boasts a square flap awning
over the entrance giving a portico or
porte cochere effect that is swagger and
appropriate to the genial general's rank.
Cantons San Francisco, Sacramento,
Oakland Rldgeley, Orion and Riverside
all have their particular cluster of
tents, their respective visit
ing members; all are suitably equipped,
for camp life, and all face a tall Hag
staff in the middile of the parade ground
from the top of which a great flag was
flapping lazily yesterday afternoon.,
while men and officers strolled about
exchanging greetings. Express Wag
ons rolled ln and disgorged trunks;
later, when the evolutions of dress pa
rade were occupying the attention of
all, including a mob of street gamins,
male and female, who had beer attract
ed by the music and. were petrified with
Joy when they caught a glimpse of the
superlative attractions within.

MAYOR SNYDER'S SPEECH
The program of the evening was opened
J. T. DORAN,
Grand Patriarch.
with an adrlress by Mayor M. P. Snyder,
who spoke as follows:
Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: On
behalf of the citizens of Los Angeles, I
take pleasure In welcoming you on this oc
casion of the grand encampment of the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The
city of Los Angeles has every reason to
feel proud that an order such as yours
has seen fit to select it as the place for the
highest branch to meet.
The Order of Independent Odd Fellows
a few years ago was only an Infant, strug
gling for existence: today Its power for
good in the land cannot be estimated. In
our own state of California it is numeri
cally the largest of any of the fraternal
organizations, having a membership of
more than 30,000. It has real estate and
buildings in the state to the value of 12,
--000,000; cemeteries valued at $80,000: a home
for the care of aged and Indigent Odd Fel
lows, where about one hundred men whose
journey through life Is nearly at an end,
have a place to pass their last days, and
It is a home in every sense of the word—not
a charitahie institution.
To my thinking, there exists no grander
order. Its three pillars are faith, hope
and charity. With faith as our companion,
was once said, we steadfastly pursue our
toilsome tasks, confident that our labors
will eventually be rewarded. It is a shield
for the unprotected, strength to the fee
ble, and joy to the careworn and weary.
Hope is the handmaid of faith: It cheers
the sinking soul in Its every hour of deep
distress; it borders every cloud with a sil
ver lining, and at last conducts with seren
ity to the portals of death. It has a throne
in every bosom and a shrine In every
heart. Charity is the last, yet the greatest
of all. It Is the queen—the brightest and
the best of the virtues. Swayed by its be
nign influences we can lead the erring
to repent, soften every obdurate heart and
reclaim to the path of rectitude every vi
cious mind.
With pillars such as these, how could
an order be otherwise than one of the
greatest and grandest creations of man?
Nothing too eulogistic of Its attainments
can be said. The methods of Odd Fellow
ship, its growth, its inspirations, are of
the century In which It was given birth.
In the order we see noble examples of
self sacrifice. The great command Is al
ways within the scope of the order's known
duty: "Visit the sick, relieve the dis
tressed, bury the dead, and educate the
orphan."
Then there is the Daughter of Rebekah.
She is enthroned queen in the mystic tem
ple. In this city alone there are five Re
bekah lodges. The membership for the
state is 15.916. They have erected an or
phans' home, which they themselves will
maintain. This Institution, lam told. Is
to be dedicated some day this month. Like
Rebekah of the long ago. It Is still the
privilege of daughters to mlhlster, ln deeds
of kindness, to the weary, the sick and the
needy.
In conclusion, I again, on. behalf of
our citizens, extend to you a cordial wel
come. I trust that your stay with us will
be one full of pleasure and profit to your
selves.
OTHER ADDRESSES

particularly tha Patriarch branch of ths
order. I wish to give expression of tho
gratification that fillsour h.artsfor this,
tile flrst. opportunity of Southern Call-
ft)nitl to extend a welcome to the Stat*
body of Odd. Fellows. LOS Angeles and
her sister towns have long hoped for
this opportunity: are have waited a long
time with patience, and now we have

paid a glowing tribute to the zeal, en-
I ergv and value of the work ot J. A.
I Durand, of whom aft conclusion: "To
krow him Is to love him." With an
other expression ot warmest welcome
M- BonyngS save place to AVllllam H.
Harres of Sar FranMsco.
Mr. Barnes said in opening his re
marks that about 6000 years ngo Adam
and Eve were driven out from the Qor
of K.J.'ti, and that during those t'.OOO
years their descendants had been hura
thl spot. It had now been found
in Loa Angeles.
The speaker then thanked' Mayor
Snyder for his kind, words. Ho had
heard presidents. governors, statesmen
and sages make addresses of welcome to
the members of Odd Fellowship, ar.d
that he felt such addresses were de*
served because the members of the or
der are the noblest, best; they stand for
friendship, love, truth, faith, hope and
charity; and they proclaim to all the
world that they are American, ln their
protection, freedom and liberty.
Mr. Barnes then paid the mayor a
compliment, and the city another. In
fact several, and likened it to the little
g rl that you leave, and go back after
(While to nnd her grown up with a
family about her. He then, told ot the
11.««*» lodges In the crater; the 8.400,000
gallant men; the 4700 Rebekah lodges,
at > tha 18,200 Daughters who were the
hardsomest, most luscious, rich and
Lrare women in the world 1 ": of the 5200
■ncampmantS, and the 132,00 Patriarchs,
and lastly of the Patirarehs Militant; all
of these come from farm and mill and
work-shop, from anywhere and every
where, so long as they were honest men.
Mr. Barnes here lapsed into rhyme for
aw.--.lle. and then spoke some very ap
preciative words of Mr. Donynge and
bis words -of welcome. He spoke of the
purple illuminated tent suspended
across Main street in front of the build
ing and of its significance; of the feel
ing of the whole order of gratitude to
<3od s fraternity to man and protection
ani fidelity to woman. The speaker
stated that last year 5800 men were
.buried by the order, but that he would
challenge any one to find the length and
breadth of this great lard, either widow
or orphan of an. Odd Fellow in a poor
house; and he said that 54.000,000 had
been paid out by the order diuring its
life to widows, and. that $73,000,000 more
had been expended for benefits of va
rious kinds to members of the order.
And with a few words of encourage
ment to the young men and the old
men. Mr. Barnes closed his address with
some more Btarzas of verse.
OTHER EVENTS
The rest of the program was made up
of other numbers by Lowinsky's orches
tra; a vocal solo, "Heart's Delight," by-
Miss Delphine Todd; a recitation, "The
Chariot Race," from Ben Hur, by W.
Elmer Booth; 'The Parting Klfs." by the
Angc-lifs quartet (vocal), made up of
Miss Rosita Rosin, J. H. Zinck, H. B.
Ferris and R. P. Skilling, and a number
of comic selections by W. H. Barnes.
All of these numbers were most cordlally
received by the audience and encores
were demanded in each case. Quite the
chef d'oeuvre of the evening, however,
was the recitation, "The Minuet," by
Miss Ltda S. Scott. It was Miss Scott'f
first appearance before a Los Angeles
audience and she scored an immediate
and pronounced success. After her reci
tation she danced the quaint old meas
ures, and in her handling of both gesture
and voice she proved the superiority of
her art. For the encore that was en
thusiastically demanded Miss Scott gave
"When Uncle Hiram Joined the March."

THE SCHOFIELD MURDER
Slow Progress Made in the Trial of
Dutcher
SAN JOSE, Oct. 18.—In the trial of Dan
Dutcher for the murder of George Scho
field, the Eitate called several Witnesses
today, but the only important testimony
wat given by Bennile Fourcade, a child
of 11 years. This boy proved to be ar.
Intelligent witness and told his story in
a straightforward way. He said he met
Dan Dutcher andi Irving Mann, the lat
ter being a somof Mrs. Schofield by her
first husband, the day before the mur
der. They told him there had.been trou
ble at the house and Schofield had
threatened to kill his wife, dragging him
after her as he started for his gum Irv
ing Mann said he tried to get hold of
the weapon and his stepfather knocked
him diown and kicked: him. Irving also
related the story at the breakfast table
during which Schofield hit his wife in.
the face with a cup. Dutcher then told
a similar story, and, with an. oath, said
he would kill Schofield if he ever beat his
wife again.
The transcript of Dutcher's testimony
at the coroner's inquest, where he swore
that he never knew ot Schofield and his
wife having any trouble, was admitted
in evidence. Thiß was; prior to his con
fession that he had killed Schofield, his
story at the inquest being that hie em
ployer had been assassinated, by some
unknown enemy who had ridden away
on a horse after committing the deed.
There are many more witnesses to be
called and at the present slow tate of
progress ths prosecution will taks sev
eral day* to complete the case.
TOLD A TRUTH
Concerning the Campaign
in New York
THE DETERMINED DEMOCRATS
INSIST ON MAKING SILVER AN
ISSUE
Party Lines Are Very Badly Broken
Up and Everybody Is Certain
of Success
Associated Press Special Wire.
NKW YORK, Oct. 18.—Ex-President
Harrison touched upon a truth regard
ing the New York municipal campaign
in. the interview with Murat Halstead
which is published today. That Is that,
to some extent, the issue is whether
there shall be any Issue beyond purely
local ones.
The question, thus presented di
vides Democrats and Republicans alike,
the latter perhaps more sharply than
the- former, as to both national and
state issues. The strength of the Low
independents, Citizen's union, people, is
principally among Republicans, who
hold to the proposition that local Issues
should be paramount ln. the city cam
paign, while the Republican organiza
tion insists that the fight be made upon
the St. Louis platform of the party, and
particularly the financial plank of that
document. The declaration in the Low
platform that proper compensation b?
exacted for franchise granted such as for
street railways, is but one of several at
tempts by men who are for the most
part Republicans ln presidential years,
to have the campaign fought on local
lines. The free silverites among the
Democracy have from the outset been
aggressively favoring exploiting the
ories of finance in the city canvass, but
these are in the minority, and were
completely overruled in the Tammany
or regular Democratic convention, and
had small consideration in the councils
of the Thomas Je-fferson party, which
has made Henry George its standard
bearer. The Democrats, however, prac
tically Ignoring national issues, are do
ing some effective work on the subject
of the excise law, even elevated, and
street railway cars being placarded wMth
queries as to the Justice of a law which
levies a tax upon the larger cities, a
portion of the proceeds being bestowed
upon the country districts. This ques
tion of the excise will enter also, and nat
urally into the election of members of
the state assembly, of whom 61 in a
total membership of 150 are to be chosen
from the Gre-ater New York territory.
The effect of this, a state issue in the
main, is likely to be felt in the vote for
officers of the city.
The registry of Saturday (the final
day) was larger than anticipated, and
the Tammanyltes appear to be most
jubilant at this development, though
leaders of the other political divisions
claim to be satisfied and confident. Jus
tice Van Wyck still adheres to his policy
of silence, and refers all interviewers to
his forthcoming letter of acceptance.
BRYAN WON'T TALK
CHICAGO, Oct. 18. —Referring to the
belief expressed by the followers of Hen
ry George that recent utterances of Wil
liam Jennings Bryan indicated his sup
port of the George ticket in Greater New-
York, Mr. Bryan wired the following to
the Associated. Press, tonight:
"Norfolk, Neb.—l have not expressed
any opinion in regard* to the New York
mayoralty campaign and do not care to
express any opinion in regard to it.
"(Signed) WILLIAM J. BRYAN."

WELBURN'S CASE
The Federal Grand Jury Investigating
Embezzlements
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 18.—The fed
eral grand Jury has taken up the Wel
burn matter. Ignoring the United
Sdates attorney and the special revenuo
agents, It has directed the Issuance of
subpoenas, and tomorrow will begin an
Investigation on its own account.
Among the subpoenas issued was one
for Welburn himselg, the theory appar
ently being that since he did not commit,
the embezzlements complained of, as
the trial Jury has said, some one else
must have done so, and he may be able
to tell the Jury who did. Immediately
after the return of the verdict acquitting
Welburn the latter told Special Revenue
Agent Thrasher that he could tell him
who was the guilty man. Thrasher de
clined to discuss the matter with him at
that time.

afternoon ex-Judge J. H. Noster, his
wife and daughter and his son's wife and
baby were driving from Mickle Point to
Coquille City. They were driving around
a high, rocky point when they met an
other team. The judge attempted to

allow the other to pass, but the horses
became frightened and unmanageable,
and backed off the grade, a distance of
about thirty-five feet. Mrs. Noster was

It is impossible to raise this, as David
H. Moffatt, one of the principal mine
