Tha reception and honor accorded P. M.

with light and color, draperies of flags
and bunting In abundance being superbly
arranged on the walls and across the

wire the words in Incandescent lights,
"Hello, Mac

The line-Up of seventy-five brothers of No

When Rrother Magowan waa brought Into the
crowded room, viewing the elaborate decorations
and hearing the unanlmoua shout of greeting, he
waa visibly affected and could hardly give voice
to hla feeling., . ,,
Mailer Artisan Rchenrer then vacated hla
chair In favor of Con llafner, chairman of the
committee, and the proceedings for tha guest
or the night began with a blast from the well
named Hot-time Hand, which proved to he n

other assembly! ever gathered a sreattr number
of notablea and veterans of the order or of tho

and the natural mutual trend of sentiment made
the combination not only a mutual Admiration
society, hut a blr fraternal lovefcast.
8rother George Wis ell, on behalf of Progres
sive Assembly, presented to the guest a fine
umbrella with silver handle, rnaraed, and
Brother Cotter, for Underdown Assembly, pre
sorted htm with a valuable heavy lane. Then
Cbilrman llafner began to call upon the speak
era high officers, past officers, members of the
board of dlrectora and warriors of the mother
and child ao well represented, whose teatlmonv
and laudation of and gratitude for the work and
worth of Brother Msgowan were prompt and sin
cere. They told how In the soung and struggling
days of Progressive Assembly he held the few
workers together by his Irresistible faith, cour
age and optimism The same qualities, niter the
reat success attained by Progressive, were ex-
rted In the building ot Underdown Assembly.
of which he became a charter member

Magowan voiced his gratlftcatlorrat this splendid
reception to his father, whose fraternal career
he hoped to be able to follow. There was hardly
time to hear from Officers Knapp, Marr, Doctor
Oadd and others. . J

Assembly in 18&9. became master Artisan In
1814 and waa a representative to the M E.
Assembly up to hla withdrawal In IOiiO to be
chairman of the organization committee of the
2, C. Underdown Assembly, named after the first
recorder of Progressive and M K. recorder He
waa a member of the board of dlrectora at the
time hla business compelled him to move to New
York. While No. 35 has grown to be one of
the largest assemblies In the order, It can be
said that It could have lost no greater Indi
vidual factor In the rapid success of that aa
sembly than Brother Magowan. and It Is prob
ably true also that no other fraternallst today
holds a greater number of affectionate friends
In proportion to hla circle of contact.
Bartram Assembly's first meeting In the new
hall at Fifty-sixth atreet and Woodland ave
nue waa full of genuine patriotic sentiment. The
call of native duty Is making Inroads upon
even the active forcca of subordinate organi
sations, whose expression of loyal sympathy
and support of enlisted comradea Is generally
prompt, generous and sincere. Doctor 8tout.
medical examiner, proposed that a fund be
raised by Individual contribution, to which he
would give ISO, for the maintenance ot mem
bership of those In the service of the Govern
ment. Brothers Beti and Mays agreed with
any plan that would fulfill the object, but
Recorder Hlgglna seemed to convince the
brothera that the plan that would be more
satisfactory la to donate from the contingent
fund any expense for the object In view, for
then all of the members of the assembly would
have a share In the contribution. He aald that
Cashier Rupert's report ahowed that the treas

cient to Justify such contributions as might be
called upon it It waa decided to Invest $Ku

Brothera Wadley and McConnell, on behalf
ef Palmyra Assembly, extended an Invitation to
Bartram to attend a carnival and outing to be
held on July 14, atatlng that accommodations
and entertainment would be furnished for not
only hundreds but thousanda of Artisans who
might come, 0
Robert H. Hepburn, engineer and constructor,
waa not able to fulfill an engagement to relate
hla experlencea on a Journey In connection with
tha Colllna expedition through South America,
but the disappointment waa somewhat atoned
for by the reading from manuscript by Recorder
lllgglns of the part relating to the long and
perilous trip In amall boata which created ex
citing Interest and desire for the "continued In
our next" chapters, which may be given by Mr.
Hepburn later on,
P. M. A. Tom Vance, chairman of the enter
tainment committee, presented Brother Mc
Xonald, violinist; Brother Somerton Stanley, of
the quartet, and Brother Boyd, of Northwest
ern Assembly, vocal soloists, who were com
pelled to respond to encores. Refreshments were
acrved. Brothers John Carllle, ot St. John's
Assembly, and H. S. Purness, of Progressive
Assembly, were inierestea visitors.
Frogreeslnve Assembly had an Initiation,
Deputy Harry Smith presenting the button.
There waa a memorial service for seven broth
ers deceased during May. Deatha and suspen
sions make heavy Inroad upon the roll ot the
big assemblies, though the number of suspen
sions in Progressive last quarter was only
seven, fewer than many of the smaller assem
i biles. Superintendent Hubba gives special atten
i tlon to the matter of minimizing the delinquent
element, acting on the policy, as he puts It,
"one man aaved la one man gained" equiva
lent to an initiated candidate. Borne members,
especially those carrying additional protection,
become careleaa or allow unfavorable conditions,
often temporary, to create such Indifference to
ward the maintenance of their membership that
the recorder's notice has negligible effect. Then
it la that through peraonal advice and appeal
the dilatory brother sees new light In time to
save an asset often the most valuable In hla
possession.
Brother Fred Keene gave aome pertinent ad
lce on the matter of the conteat with St, John's
i Assembly and Deputy Recorder Harry Smith

HOW SHALL STATE
CONTROL FRATERNALS?
Review of Two Years' Legislative
Consideration and a Voice
Against Present Draft
At a recent hearing by tho proper Stale
Senate commltee, at which representatives
of fraternal, beneficial and Insurance socie
ties appeared to support cr object to tho
pending legislative bill nffcctlng those organ
izations, Frederick Gaston, president of
the Ornnd Fraternity, makes this presen
tation of tho subject:
'The fraternal societies of Pennsylvania are
now and alvtasa have been In favor of a law
g'vlng the Insurance Department full power to
aunervlse and eiamlne them, and there was no
oi position to these provisions In the bill pre
sented nt Harrlahurff hv the Insurance Depart
ment last winter. Tho eocletles do. however,
most seriously object to a Inw that would com
pletely change their status aa fraternal benefit
societies and would classify them hereafter as
mutual Insurance companies.
"Two scire ago a similar bill was presented
to Iho Jjcslslature by the department nnd there
wns a medlng In the Insurance Commissioner a
.nice at which the National Kraternnl Con
Vress. the Pennsylvania rraternil Congress
and n large number nf domestic fraternal so
cieties were represented At that meeting tho
attention of the department was called to a
largo number of changea that were necessary,
nnd after a full, fair and frank discussion of
the objections an agreement was unanimously
reached that the bill ahould bo amended In ac
cordance with the aentlmenta eipresscd nt the
meeting Thla was done and the amended bill
was then presented to the House of Represen
tatives, but waa subsequently defeated on roll
call "If 'he department had presented thnt
amended bill, aa It waa agreed upon at the
conference two yeara ago, there would .have
been no opposition upon the part of the fra
ternal benefit societies of pennsslvanla. but
when thla bill waa Introduced It was f miid to
contain all tho objectionable features of tho
old original bill nf two years ago, with tnmt
still more objectionable features added The
fraternal eoclettea of Pennsslvanla. therefore.
