Grand Master Btngman Declares That
Masonic Organization Clandestine.
WASHINGTON, July 20-The controversy
which has been general among the Masonic
fraternity throughout the country respecting
the Cerneau Scott sn rite has eliminated
here in the issue OF an edicl by Harrison
Dingman, most worshipful grand master of
Masons of the District OF Columbia, pro
nouncing the Cerneau organisation clandes-
tine, and warning all membe's of that rite
that they are liable to discipline from the
grand lodge unless they at oace withdraw
from the Cerneau body.
The main reason for the edict, Mr.. Ding
man explains, aside from other questions
arising in the Scottish rite controversy, il
that the Cerneau organization mas established
relations Of amity and correspondence with
the Grand Orient Of France, the governing
body of Masons in that country, which Is
under the ban OF at least every English speak
ing grand lodge In the world, because the
Grand Orient has stricken the name of God
from its rituals.
The grand lodges OF this country have al
additional grievance against the Crane
Orient Of France, because the latter persist
in recognizing the negro grand lodges Of thi
United States Grand Master Dingman'
edict directs that all visitors to lodges in tn
District Of Columbia shah be required Z
state before admission that they are no
members Of a Cerneau Organization Tn
