COVERED THE FRAUDS

TING COMMITTEE
INITIATED Silcs The Corporal Was Frsd-A Few

Hs Own PsnsOn-Squlrss'
Illegal Work.

WASHINGTON, September H.-The re-
port of the commission that investigated
the affairs of Commissioner Tanner ia the
Pension Bursau hiss been dOctored since
the removal of Tanner. The original re-
port was damaging in the extreme to the
management of the Pension Office; but
since Tanner was dismissed it has been
fixed to suit the Administration. As it
will bs given out, il is fraud and lie on
its face. 1t remains now for the next
Congress to get at the facts, and they will
show reckless and criminal waste Of the
public funds.
Il is known that the original report
showed that Deputy Commissioner Smith
rerated his own pension and secured over
So. 600 back pay. The report also con-
demns Mr.. SQuires in round terms, espec-
ially for his action in making cases specia' .
It states that Mr.. Squires possessed the
stamp Of Mr.. Tanner. as Commissioner aud
affixed il to papsrs without the Connie
sioner's knowledge. Tne number of such
eases is very large, and Commissioner Tan
uer is criticised for his gross carelessness
in thus entrusting his official preroeative
to mere private secretary who violated
the confidence repesed in him. Said q
member Of the board who made the inves-
tigation: There WAS bat one of two
things for the president to do in view OF
our report, either to dismiss every one OF
us from the service ss unworthy of belief,
or else relieve Mr.. Tanner from Office"

THE CRRNRAU SCOTTISH RITZ SUPREME
COUNCIL
Explains ard wiAdrsws It's Proposition 10 The
French Masons-It is Loyal TO the Order
and Jealous Of is Good
Position.

NEW YORK, September 27.-The Su-
preme Council of the Cerneau Scottish Rite
Mascas has issued proclamation in which
the Council ssys:
First-By our constitution ffaternal re
lations can be estsbli he'd only with Scot
tish Rite bodies, and the sole power to per-
feet such relations is thereby vested in the
Supreme Council.
Second-Believing then and now that
we had the unquestionable right to enter
into friendly relations with any other legal
Scottish Rite organic alton in the world, q
proposition was made in April, 1888, to
enter into such relations with the Grand
College of Rites (which we then and now
understand TO bs purely Scottish Rite
body attached 10 the Grand Orient OF
Frarce). But the original proposed rela-
tions between the two bodies have never
been consummated.
Third-Since such timid appointment,
our Scottish Rite enomies, disregarding the
facts and intending to mislesd the craft to
our pre- udice, have falsely insisted and
Published broadcast that we had, contrary
to Grand Ledge Order, entered into
fraternal relations with the Grand Orient
OF France.
Fouuh-Hsving ss Master Mssons,
Royal Arch, Cryptic Mssons and Knights
Templsr since our organization in 1907,
been ever Loyal and true TO the Grand
Lodge, Grand Chapter, Grand Council and
Grand Eocsmpment and to each Of their
subordinate bodies, we do not intend that
at this late pay our loyalty shall be sus'
pected.
Fifth-Thsrefore insisting that We. never
Intentionally committed any act or thing
showing any want of loyalty to Ancient
Graft Masonry, end that there may be no
fuather excuse TO claim that We have, We
do hereby Withdraw said proposal, and ar
nul, vacste and set aside each and every
act and thing done by any in authority 10
our rite wherein or whereby might be
clsimed (even by our enemies) that trater-
nal relation bad been effected between the
said Grand Orient of France or any OF Its
bodies and our organization, contrary tC

London's rardy wedding Present,

LONDON, September 27-MoTe than
once reference was made last July to the
fact that the corporation Of the city Of
London did not profier q wedding gift TO
the Princess Louise of Wales on the &C.
casion of her marriage TO tho Dake Of
Fife. II seemed extraordinary that the
richest corporation IN the richest city Of
the world should not pay the customary
attention TO an event, the principal char
acter in which WAS the eldest daughter Of
the Prince Of Wales, and where the rest OF
the world displayed an unusual amount
OF interest. The corporation finally de-
cided that the wedding present should be
a cSngratnlatory address. IL was decided
Al Guildhall yesterday that the address
should be inclosed in a oasket worthy in
every way OF the traditions Of the corpora
tion for loyalty and magniicence.
