ORDERED TO WITHDRAW.
Canada Wants No More of Ma.
sonic Association.


TORONTO, Ont, Dec. 26.-There is
much excitement in Canada over the af-
fairs of the Northwestern Masonic Aid
association, whose headquarters are at
Chicago. The organization has in force
i'll Canada over $2,000,G00 of insurance
among the MasonS. Ii has been do
ing purely a Masonic business in Cana
da, but it is coming to the knowledge of
the dominion government that the aSSo-
citation was accepting non-MaSons as
risks in the United States. 1t was no
titled to quit business or put up the
statutory S3.000,0O0 deposit at Ottawa.
The latter it would not do, SO it has
been peremptorily ordered to withdraw
from Canada. 1t Is said that, after the
withdrawal from Canada, the assOcia-
ton can snap its fingers at the Canadian
patrons. who have paid in many thou
sands of dollars i'll assessments.
CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-The report tele-
graphed from Toronto. Ont, that the
Northwestern Masonic Aid association,
with headquarters in Chicago, and hay-
ing over S2,000,000 of insurance among
the MaSonS in Canada, had been ordered
TO quit business in the dominion, does
not appear to alarm the officials of that
organization in this city. President
Daniel J.Avery, of the association, said:
I'VE accept only MasouS in Canada, and
they can not compel us to put up the
statutory deposit, which, by the way, is
not S5.000,0o0. but $50, 900 at minimum.
Should We be compelled, however, to
withdraw from Canada, our patrons
will not be defrauded of the money they
have paid in. The story that the asso-
citation had been defrauded out of S., 600
by insuring person afflicted with car
Ger was proven to be a canard by Secre-
tary StUddard. The report that Mr..
Stoddard had hastily to leave Toronto
for fear of violence at the hands of in
dignant Masons is equally false"

proceedings are to be based are the Off
cial record of the patent office depart
ment in Washington, backed by legal
opinions from the most eminent patent
lawyers III this country to the effect that
the Adams company holds the patent
under which every successful electric

refund their fee. which was never less
than 800. He said that one of the
victims was the Hev. Harper, colored

accruing from the speculation. 1t is
