The session was called unusually early,

nored. No recess was granted until noon.

voked on account of rebellion in rituahstic
work. The grand chancellor was author
lied to issue Grand Lodge cards to such
members of that lodge as could show sat-
isfactorily that they did not participate in
the rebellious proceedings.
1t was decided that in towns in which
there are three or more lodges, a bureau of
relief will be established and an assessment
made upon each member of not more than
20 cents per annum for its support.
Appropriations were made for bureaus
of relief as follows: San Francisco, $3.50;
Sacramento, Stockton and Los Angeles,
500 each.

the supreme statutes, which debar retail
| liquor-dealers and bar-tenders from men,
bership in the order, was discussed at great
| length, but was finally rejected.
| Lodges were granted privilege of provid-
| ing fund for social purposes. The terms of
officers for all subordinate lodges were fixed
| at six months. 1t was decided to have the
