MIR. LEEDY ON THE DECREE.
William Terry Was Not Expelled be-
cause of His Religion.

A Journal reporter was informed last
evening by a member of the Knights of
Pythias that there are between five hun
dred and one thousand members of that
organization in this city who will be affect
ed by the pontifcal decree prohibiting
members of the Catholic Church from be-
longing to secret organizations. A number
of those affected are inclined to ignore the
decree. They do not think their belonging
to secret organizations detracts from their
rights in the church, and for some reason
they feel that the local clergy are with
them in thinking the decree unnecessary.
Catholics have always been invited to MEM
bership to the knights of Pythias and the
order does not attempt to shape a mans
creed, nor does 1T ask him what his creed
Is. The knights who belong to the Catholic
order.
The Odd Fellows will be little effected by
the decree, and should all members of the
Catholic Church belonging to the order
withdraw the membership would not be
materially affected. There are a number of
who belong to the Catholic Church
I'VE invite Catholics to join order"
said w. H. Leedy, one of the most prom
inent Odd Fellows in the State, last even
ing. THE question of religion or creeds is
not raised in the ritual and there is no
reason why a consistent Catholic cannot
belong
In an interview published last evening,
Odd Fellows brought the decree Upon nth the ms
selves. He refers to the case OF William
Terry, whom, he says, was expelled from
the order because he Joined the Catholic
Church on his death bed Father Gavisk
says Terry was expelled three days before
he died Mr. Leedy last night said that
Father Gavisk must be mistaken because
the order would not think of expeliing a
man because he wished to join the Catholic
Church He was not sure about the case
referred to. but, as he recalled 1t, Terry
was expelled because he renounced the
order. A committee of Odd Fellows under
stood that the remuneration was made at
the demands of the church. Previous to
his withdrawing from the order he received
the benefits and attention of the organza-
Lodge was informed that he had renounced
the order SO as to become a member OF the
Der renounces the order. Terry was ex-
PEELED.
