CORRECTION
Concerning statement by our Nebraska CORE
spondent that the Department President had
opened the case of Geary Corps Juniatn and re-
stored tho original charter, THE TRIBUNE is asked
10 explain the situation fully in justice TO Past
Department and National officers. Our CORE
spOndcnt was probably unaware of the action Of
National Convention, which find recorded on
page l79. Report of Committee Appeals, which
was duly adopted by Convention rs follows:
"on the appeal OF Geary Corps No. 80 Of Juui-
alta asking for restoration of original charter. we
recommend that tie action of the Department
President and the decision Of National President
be sustainedp
Under such circumstances as is well known, il
was impossible for the Department President OF
Nebraska Ia reopen the case, there is no appeal
from higher court to lower. On this subject
John G. Bonnell, Past Department Commander
writes as follows from Omaha:
Officially, the record about the matter is AS fol-
lows: That charter was legally revoked, cancelled
and Withdrawn from the Corps by the Depart
ine't Council in the latter part OF the year 1888
new charter has been granted the COrDs, in the
regular Official and legal way. and is composed,
am informed of nearly all tire old members"
This seems to make the matter clear, and will
VIC trust be satisfactory TO all concerned
