Hart, of Huntington, Elected K. of P. Grand Chancellor.

Dr. W. L. Myer, a former chancellor commander of Rensselaer lodge, No. 82, Knights of Pythias, was the representative of the lodge at Indianapolis, where the grand lodge was in session Tuesday and Wednesday. Z Dr. F. A. Priest, of Marion, was chosen grand outer guard, and all other officers were advanced, thus making William P. Hart, of Huntington, grand chancellor for the ensuing year. Harry Wade, of Indianapolis, was again chosen grand keeper of records and seal, and William A. Morris, of Frankfort, was re-elected grand master of exchequer. The Grand Lodge turned down a proposition to maintain a borne for deceased members’ orphans. The committee to which the question was referred reported adversely and the Grand Lodge adopted the report without discussion. In addition to the orphans’ home proposition, the Grand Lodge received a resolution providing for the assessment of a per capita tax of 1 per cent to reimburse the relief committees of subordinate lodges where money is expended for caring for sick nonresident members. The question of maintaining a home for orphans of deceased members has come before the Grand Lodge a number of times in recent years.
