promised allegiance to the constitution and
regulations of the Grand encampment Of the
United States" All Templar intercourse is in
terdicted between the Grand commandery of
Iowa and all sir knights in its obedience and
the loyal Knights Templar of the United States.
This order has never been abzogated. and in
consequence the Iowa knights. although they
come to this city, will not take part in the pa
rade. Their case will come before the Grand
encampment, and il Is probable that the Iowa
knights will endeavor to secure a revocation OF
this action.
WHY THE ORDER WAS ISSUED.
This order was issued, as stated by the grand
master, for the following reasons: At the con-
clave held in St. Louis in 1856 a ritual was
adopted and il was declared TO be the only
authorized ritual 10 be used in comforting tie
orders Of the Red Cross and Knights Tcmplar
within the jurisdiction of the Grand oncamp-
ment. This order went into effect April 1,
1857. Copies Of the ritual were sent TO the
Grand communicates, the Iowa commandery
among the others. They were distributed TO
the several communicates 10 that state. Then
IL seems that they were recalled by the grand
commander of Iowa and were returned to the
grand recorder of the Grand enesmpment. On
the 9th of October, 1887, the Grand commandery
of Iowa confirmed the action of the grand COM
mander, and, as Gen. Roome states, did disre-
gard and assume TO suspend the operation OF
the action of the Grand encampmenL"
On the 2lst of March, 1885, Gen. Roome issued
a notice declaring this action of the Grand COM
mandery of Iowa TO be null and void and re-
curing the rituals TO be reissued 70 the COM
inanderies and used by them This order was
not complied with and then Gen. Roome de-
clared the Iowa knights in rebellion
THE Defense OF THE IOWA KNIGHTS.
Some of the grounds upon which the Iowa
knights base their action are that the resolution
providing for the adoption Of the ritual in the
Grand encampment was never lawfully adopted
in accordance with the provisions Of the con-
stitution OF the Grand encampment The main
points made were that the adoption Of the
ritual was not in the summons for the Grand
encampment, and that il was not adopted by .
constitutional majority. In further Isxplana-
ton OF the Iowa side of TIE case the following
statement h made by I. s. 2arvin, prominent
knight 4empiar Of Iowa: ~ D. a..-e.-
