KNIGHTS BANQUET NATIONAL COUNCIL FIVE HUNDRED GUESTS ARE ENTERTAINED AN AUSPICIOUS OCCASION Fraternity, Patriotism and Good FeU lowahlp Abound at Turnvereln Hall on Occasion of Honor to Visiting Delegates Fraternity, patriotism and goodfel lowshtp abounded throughout Turn vereln hall last night on the occasion of the banquet given In honor of the national council Knights of Columbus by Los Angeles council No. 621, and the affair was the most enthusiastic and en- Joyable.of all the entertainments pro vided by the local council for their guests thus far during convention week. Five hundred knights, the pick and flower of the Catholic church of Amer ica, gathered round the festal board and partook of the hospitality of the local brethren and participated In the felicitating speech and song which went to make the program for the occasion. These knights, with the enthusiasm of boys and the deeper feeling of men, laughed and sang when the orchestra played "Hot Time," sang "My Old Ken tucky Home" with broken voices and tears In their eyes, sang "Dixie" with their southern brothers in the spirit of the south, and "Illinois" with only the feelings of the north. Enthusiasm ' with a spontaneity re markable for Its depth and frequency, repeatedly brought , these knights to their feet In cheering and waving of handkerchiefs. Following the discussion of the elab orate menu Past Grand Master Richard Dillon was introduced as toastmaster by Chairman \V. E. Hampton, and there began the program of toasts which lasted well Into the morning hours. Toastmaster Dillon Speaks Toastmaster Dillon spoke on "Patriot- Ism" In his opening remarks. After extending the welcome of the local council and paying tribute- to» the ; bal conies filled with the weaker sex, he called attention to the decorations In the national colors,* asking what more worthy brotherhood existed under the Stars and Stripes than the organiza tion of Knights of Columbus, whose tenets are * loyalty ,■ to country. Then holding high a glass of California vin tage, he . pledged the health and long life of the prelate of the Catholic church and of the president of the United States. ;V\ v '>i In" a toast to "Our Country" John S. Leahy, state deputy of St. Louis and the first speaker, brought repeated ap plause. He said in'partf ' Leahy's Oratory '.'Destiny holds for us of the United States a population of- three hundred millions of people. On us depends -what these people shall be. Shall we bequeath to them our golden ! heritage, pass on our priceless blessings? "In the past century there have been greater achievements in America than the world's achievements of the past. "We are" a unique people. Gathered together from all the peoples of the civilized world and partaking of their best virtues, we hold in our hands the realizations of the poets and the philosopher. Peace, Justice and liberty dwells In our midst. • "The one aim should be to preserve these treasures. American citizens should enter actively Into politics of the nation. The politician should be put away and in his place there should be the statesman at the helm. "We are here with some sacrifice. We came to Los Angeles through the ef forts of a noble, true hearted knight, Joseph Scott. In the history of the United States there are two acts the noblest of all. Nor are they acts of blood. George Washington declined a third term. Tou all know what Joe Scott has done, (cheers). ■ "When I learned that he had refused high office it came to me then that the great necessity of the age Is the build ing up of sentiment, the incentive which actuates every act that Is good. This Is our nation. It depends upon us whethfer or not we shall keep it." "Any speaker who mentions Joe Scott's name again," 'said Toastmaster Dillon In introducing the next speaker, "will have to leave off." Amid laugh ter and cries for / Scott, Archbishop Montgomery of San Francisco was in troduced to respond to the toast, "From Within." His opening sentences were cut off by applause and cheers. Archbishop Montgomery's Talk After extending a welcome to the knights to visit San Francisco, the archbishop Bpoke concerning the well being of the order, saying that It is the experience of societies, as that of na tions, that there Is an heroic age, an epoch of development and then an age of decline. '| ■"«•".' "As you grow in age preserve the virtues of the herolo age you are now in," adjured the the archbishop. "It Is difficult to keep up our Ideals and this must be. your task in the coming years. For the past twenty years the ideal of the Knights of Columbus has been that of unselfishness. This must be preserved." To no speaker of the evening was there given a greater acknowledgment of praise than to the lit. Rev. Bishop Conaty, who succeeded the archbishop. "Heart to Heart" was the subject of his toaat, and with the eloquence which has given him recognition in church PROMINENT FIGURES AT THE BANQUET P. L. M'ARDLE, ONE OF THE ORATORS W. E. HAMPTON, CHAIRMAN R.«J. DILLON, TOASTMASTER and state, frequently Interrupted by applause, he gave a heart to heart talk. "Heart to Heart" "The men needed to hold up the fab ric of society and to insure its wellbe fare, must be men of clean hearts, hon or, decency, uprightness and of truth," said the bishop, after prefacing the main body of his speech with humorous remarks. "We have a country to be proud of. We are proud of It. We have a church to be proud of. We are proud of it. We apologize to no man for our belief. We ask no favor, but we demand every right. We seek no rights which we are not willing to concede to others, even if our concessions means light. "We are Catholics and Americans. We are not here by tolerance. We came here first. Manhood is demanded from us on two principles, that of the church and that of the state. That which" stands for both Is character. As knights, honorable and valiant men, there is a place for us and nowhere more than in this republic. "Never before has there been such need for men Who will stand for the rights of God and of man. Columbus was not an adventurer, but a discov erer under the providence of God, who believed and lived accordingly and who never doubted. The same lies before you. There Is work to be done; you are the men to do it. VTWs ts an age of indifference to re ligion and of boastfulness and scoffing. The age demands men of faith and of virtue — men who love their homes and who are willing to make sacrifices in order to preserve them; a belief In the country and its future. "There is a need of men of manliness, of womanhood; of men who will build homes and of women who will . take care of them." Until 10 o'clock the banquet was stag. Promptly at that hour the balconies were thrown open and were Immed iately filled by^ the women. If they were not permitted to be upon the floor of the banquet hall, the homage they received made up for the denial of seats at the tables. As the balcony doors were opened, the orchestra struck up "Just One Girl," and while the women bent over the bal cony railing to smile greetings, the ban queters of one accord arose from their seats to flutter 500 handkerchiefs and give a vociferous cheer, heard into the street. Placed high above the heads of those at the table of honor and from a back ground of papal color interwoven with those of the national emblem, the like ness of Pope Plus X looked kindly down upon the assemblage as If to give it his blessing. The banquet was to have started promptly at 8:30 o'clock. It was 9 o'clock when, preceded by the church dignitaries and officers of the order, the members of the order filed Into the banquet room to the strains of "Illi nois" by the orchestra and took their places. Ten minutes later, preceded by Joseph Scott, Supreme Knight Edward L. Hearn entered the hall and passed to his place upon the platform. Then the banqueters rising from* their seats added cheers to their handclapplng. Many times the scene of banquets, where the decorator was left free to carry out his best efforts, Turnvereln hall In the hands of Decorator George Mathews was given a simple beauty and effectiveness never before attained. The great room was a mass of colors, In which the yellow and, white of many draperies, with the national ensign, were Interwoven with an abundance of coreopsis, Bermuda lilies and the trail ing green of many vines. From the center of the room and hung beneath a circle of United States flags, was a mission bell Illuminated in the papal colors. From it to the four corners trailing mnilux was caught up In baskets pf ferns, from which many electric bulbs peeped forth with golden radiance. The balcony uprights wer« bid front L(SS ANGELES HERALD: FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE. 9, 1905. SPECIAL POSTOFFICE FOR VISITING KNIGHTS LOS ANGELES POSTOFFICE, LOS ANGELES, CAL., June 3. The special postofflce provided for the Knights of Columbus will be opened for business Monday morning, June 5, In the rooms oc cupied by the California Service and Information Bureau, 111.113 West Fourth street. All mall ad. dressed in care of the Knights of Columbus excursions will be de. livered through that office. Very respectfully, M. H. FLINT, Postmaster, from sight with the bending leaves of the Phoenix palm, while the balcony Itself, a mass of foliage, with a back ground of white showing through as paragus plumosus was hung with ban ners of the cardinal and papal colors, alternated with the stars and stripes. Flanking the stage on either side and extending from the floor to the balcony were panels of golden cor eopsis and sweet peas. The windows of the hall were cur tained In the papal gold and the walls were entirely concealed with aspara gus plumosus, wreaths of flowers and potted plants, One, of the highest honors shown a knight by his fellows was that at the conclusion of the long program of toasts, when State Chaplain McQualde presented to Joseph Scott, Los An geles' own Joseph Scott, In behalf of the councils of the state, with the con currence of all those of the order, a testimonial in the shape of resolution^ of respect, gold embossed on vellum. The enthusiasm of the early evening was mild compared with the applause which followed . the. presentation. In his address Chaplain McQuaide said the token was given , to his brother knight on his retirement as state dep uty and in appreciation of his work as an officer of the organization and as a man. Joseph Scott, with emotion which he could ill conceal, made his response of thanks, assuring his brethren that, al though he had retired from office, he still maintained his loyalty and enthu siasm. He expressed a willingness to co-operate with whatever administra tion the knights might select and thanked those of his associates for their assistance in the discharge of his duties. The testimonial Is a book hand il lumined by J. Harrison Cole, done in old English script, testifying to the worth and ability of the recipient. The frontispiece contains a fine likeness of its present owner. Supreme Knight Edward L. Hearn In response to the toast, "Our Order," spoke of Its meaning, Its alms and Its ambition and then reverting to the lo cal council gave an expression of thanks to Joseph Scott for what he had done to build up the organization 011 the Pacific coast. He assured his hearers that he and all his associates of the national council, the delegates and their friends, would leave Los An geles with the most kindly feelings to ward the people of the State of, Cali fornia and the citizens and knights of Los Angeles. W. K. Lucey, state deputy of New York, in a toast, the substance of which treated on the public school system, and explained the position of Catholicism on the subject, ended his speech with a presentation to the Los Angeles council of the banner which his delegation brought with it from New York. Owing to the lateness of the hour, other toasts were much shortened, and the banquet came to a close with a rising vote of thanks to Madame Mod- Jeska and the ladles of her reception committee for their painstaking efforts In making pleasant the visit of the strangers. JOS. SCOTT WOULDN'T SERVE Declined Honor When Elected— The New Officer* Chosen Joseph Scott, "Our Joe," was yester day elected by acclamation to the sec ond position In the great order of th« Knights of Columbus, which high hon or he resigned, producing the culmin ating scene of the annual election of officers. Mr. Scott, In An address full of feel- Ing, thanked his fellow knights for the honor, but stated that It was his wish that another be elected to the office of deputy supreme knight. Brushing aside Mr. Scott's objection, the council elected him, when he again took the floor and repeated his request, which the delegates at last were forced to accept. The following officers were elected: Edward L.. Hearn, New Haven, supreme knight; James A. Flaherty, Chicago, deputy supremo knight; Daniel Colwell, New Haven, national secretary; P. J. Brady, Cleve land, national treasurer; P. L. McArdle, Chicago, national advocate; Dr. W. J. McManus, New York, national physi cian; Messrs. George F. Monaghan, Detroit; James A, Burns, Orange, N. J. ; John O. Ewlng, Notre Dame, Ind., and D. B. Lucey, Ogdensburg, N. V., directors. All were re-elections, except Mr. Flaherty. Supreme Knight Hearn opened the session yesterday morning with a gavel of orange wood, adorned with abalone shell, presented by Los Angeles coun cil. Joseph Scott presented the supremo knight with a line badge In behalf of Los Angeles council. Much of the morning session was taken up with the report of the com mittee on resolutions. The board of directors was Instructed to consider the advisability of adopting a level rate of assessment. This board will re port at the next national council. The plan of affiliating the Knights of Columbus with the Federation . of American Catholic Societies elicited much discussion. It was decided that the order should remain as It now is. Bishop O'Reilly of Baker City, Ore., paid a high compliment to the effec tive work of Supreme Knight Hearn. Shortly before the noon recess, amid much enthusiasm, a check for $162 was ordered sent to Shepherd Brown Ship ley, the Pullman dining car conductor whose presence of mind saved a serious wreck at Callente last Sunday morn- Ing. Shipley, In pulling the emergency cord and setting the brakes on the last two cars, undoubtedly' saved many lives. The amount of the check was made up by subscription. " At the afternoon session, following the election of officers, pressing Invita tions were received from the governor of Colorado, mayor of Denver and va rious organizations to hold the next national council In Denver. It was decided to, hold the next convention In New Haven, Conn., as the' new Knights of Columbus building there will be completed by that time, at a cost of $125,000, and will be dedicated at this gathering. ■ • •■'■ • :• - ■ •'"■ •"•;■■. Resolutions were adopted thanking the brother knights of Los Angeles, and especially Joseph Scott, for the lavish hospitality shown them and also thank ing jthe church prelates for their part in the services. Resolutions were also adopted thanking the citizens and pres3 of Los Angeles for their part in the pleasure o* the visitors. A resolution deploring the conditions of the Indians was adopted, and commending the work of. the Catholic Indian missions. Adjournment was then taken until the next annual meeting- at New Haven. AT CATALINA AND THE CHUTES How the Knights Amused Themselves and Saw Sights Yesterday Two boat loads of m°rry landlubbers with a few did salts here and there to cheer them up, made up the Knights of Columbus party that took in Cata lina Island yesterday. And the over flow went on the Warrior. \ The whole party went for the ocesn trip. It was a good thing nothing ha>l bean done to prepare for them In Avalon, not even luncheon being pro vided, so the majority whetted thetr sea-air appetites on scenery and looked at the submarine forests. The trip was via the Southern Pacific and the Hermosa and Cabrillo. The former loaded first, but the latter, with the band aboard, passed her about half way over, while the musicians played "Good-Bye, Little Girl, Good-Bye," and similar derisive airs. And when the same thing happened on the return trip, the Hermosans thought It was rub- Of course, lots of the Inlanders be came seasick, though the ocean was The Dealer . who knows points to that label when asked for the Most Popular Shirt Original designs; colors that stay. $1.00 and $1.25 | OLUITT, PIABODV * CO.. £ Maker* •U'lMitaad Arrcw VolUn. ■ like a glassy pond. But who'd care for an ocean voyage without a touch of mat de mer, If It be his first trip? So the fresh water people really seemed to feel that It was all part of the gam*. The stay at Avalon was put In watch- Ing men dive for money, and taking boat rides. No program was Arranged by the natives though one man decor ated l-flther handsomely. Catallna and its places of Inter**!, and beauty proved an attraction which thft large number of visiting knights were unable to resist yesterday, but those who did remain within the en vironment of Los Angeles, almost to the Individual, spent a portion of the afternoon at Chutes park. For some reason, the majority of those who took. In the attractions of the South Main street pleasure resort were children, but the large crowd was well Interspersed with the elders. Here again the coin of the knights was not legal tender. The grounds were given over to their exclusive uae from 2 o'clock In the afternon until 6 o'clock at night. Everything was free, and every at traction was crowded. Donatelll's band gave Its usual concert during the after noon, the Overland Limited, wlth'lU capacity of a dozen passengers chugged merrily over its tracks, the circle swing stopped only long enough to let oft and take on passengers, and the Chutes had always an eager crowd of pleasure 3eekers" awaiting their turn. Through some mistake the Impression has gone broadcast that the big parade of the knights Saturday evening Is to include only those of the fourth degree. The committee having this feature in charge wish It to be distinctly under stood that every member of the order, irrespective of rank or degree is ex pected to march In the procession. For those who are not able to appear in full dress, a special section is to be formed. NOTES OF THE NOBLE KNIGHTS Sayings and Doings of Those High Up in the Order J. N.
