# PYTHIAN KNIGHTS # Conclude All Business Except Official Investigation INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 27.-The Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, yesterday elected the following officers: Supreme Chancellor, Thomas Grample, Allegheny, Pa.; Supreme Vice-Chancellor, Ogden H. Fethers, Wisconsin. The other officers will be elected today. The statement of the Board of Control shows the resources of the Endowment Rank to be $523,276. It is charged that $91,788 is entangled in the affairs of the defunct National Bank of Fort Worth, Tex. Also that the $4,236,127 invested in a hotel which is now in the hands of a receiver, is nothing more than a fifth lien on the property. The supreme lodge, Knights of Pythias, is about all that remains of the biennial encampment. All of the uniform rank and subordinant lodge companies have left the city and Camp Colgrove is deserted. The Rathbone Sisters and Knights of Khorassan held their final session today. The investigating committee appointed by the supreme lodge is still holding meetings, but will probably not report at this meeting. The supreme lodge has much business to consider yet and may be in session a week longer. Representative W. L. Scism of Nebraska, who has been fighting the officers of the supreme lodge vigorously for several months and is reported to have made charges of excessive expense accounts, has introduced a number of resolutions and documents at this session, all having a tendency to restrict the officers.
