THE CERNEhU RITE UP IN COURT.
Powell S. Lawson Files a Complaint
Regarding 1t.
He Invokes the Aid of the Law to Pre-.
vent His Trial for Defying a Grand
Chapter Regulation.

Powell S. Lawson filed q complaint on
Saturday in tie Superior Court that will
probably result in the question being
definitely settled as to whether secret
order has a right to discipline mem bers
who affiliate with alleged clandestine or
CARNATIONS claiming TO belong to the
order, or not.
1t is q suit that will excite much
interest among Masons, as it relates to
what is generally termed among them as
the "Cerneau rite'' of Scottish or adop-
tive Masonry, and which is claimed by
the two recognized Jurisdictions of the
Scottish rite in the United States to be
Legitimate.
The suit is commenced against Adolf
plus Hewell Thomas Flint, ST., and
others, who represent the Grand Chapter
of Royal Arch Masons of California, the
mem bers of Stockton Chapter, No, rs,
X. A. NJ, and John w. Boyd, High
Priest, and a. j. Vermilya. Scribe. OF
Sacramento Chapter, No. 3.
He alleges that for more than thirty
five years he has been a member i'll good
standing of Sacramento Chapter, aud
that Boyd, The High Priest, and YER
nilya, the Scribe, have brought charges
against him OF unDecOmlng conduct III
soliciting Oliver William Porter, another
Royal Arch Mason, to receive the So
called Masonic degrees In the ~ and A.
S., from an alleged Masonic body claim
ing to act under charter from Il body
styling itself "rhe Supreme Council OF
the Accepted Scottish Kite for the West
ern Ststes OF America, its Territories and
| Dependencies" which body is one de-
clared not 10 be genuine and legitimate.
1t is also charged that Lawson has for a
long time been member of a spurious
and clandestine body Of Masons claim
ing to act under charter of the said al
legged Supreme Council, aud since the
passage and adoption Of General Regula-
ton No. p by the Grand Chapter of the
! State, has knowingly and WilI.ully been
present at and assisted in comforting of
so-called Masonic degrees in such body
| in violation of the said General Regula-
ton 40. u.
Lawson claims in the complaint, which
is very vOluminOus, that the Grand Chap
tor has no right to prohibit him from be-
coming a member of the Ancient and
Accepted Scottish Rite organization re-
ferred TO.
He alleges that his expulsion from the
fraternity of Royal Arch Masons is the
end sought, and claims that it is con
spiracy betW cen the officers Of the Grand
Chapter and the other defendants to GUST
him from that body, which viii result in
his expulsion from the bodies comforting

ADJUSTMENTS

W. r. Dailey's New York Stock Com
pany opens at the metropolitan Theater
this evening. OF the many clever pieces
written by Augustin Daily. none in the
low comedy vein have achieved greater
success than "a Night OF" 1t was
through this play that this author won his
first aud most lasting laureis, and his
belief in its intrinsic merit was recently
shown through New York revival with
Henry Dixey and Mr.. Gilbert in the
leading characters. "a Night of" is a
particular favorite with Dailey's com
pany, which has scored repeated sue
cesses in it's presentations. Speaking Of
their rendition, the Los Angeles Herald
says: "DaiIey's company gets all there
IS out OF Days play, i'll fact, the players
seem born for the parts, and there IS not
dull moment" Dailey's old company
was iavorite one with Sacramento thea
ter-goers. and the augmented one Will
doubtless IND favor if their success IN
san francisco and elswhere is TO be
taken as criterion. May Nanuery
continues to be at the head of the COM
pany, Mortimer Snow, Al Ii. Hallett and
Frank CleaVes continue in their respect
i've positions. Charles E. Eldridge, the
comedian, is an Eastern man of reputa-
ton, and Margaret Marshall is conceded
to be talented character actress. one of
the best the coast has PRODUCED. The
balance of the cast. which includes Nav
Powers, is ia keeping with the princi-
pals. The repertoire as selected is one Of
strength and variety, aud being thor
oughly familiar with all of Dailey's pIav-
ers. should not fail to please.

GREAT SHOOTING EVENT.

Robinson and Chick Likely to Have q
Match During the Fair.
Increased interest will probably be ad-
ded TO the annual live bird tournament Of
the State Sportsmen's Association here
during the State Fair. 1t is q probable
match between Crittenden Robinson and
Martinez Chick for the Golddust chal-
lenge medal. Robinson says he would
like match with Chick for the medal,
but unless the stake was at least $500 a
side 1t would not pay him to go to San
Diego to shoot for it. The cost of the
birds and the expense OF the trip would
be, to which ever one of them lett home.
more than the winnings if successful.
lie states that if Mr.. Chick Will make
the match for 500 side he Will go to San
Diego, or he viii be willing TO make the
match for 500, or any amount above that,
if Chick will come north.
Referring to the proposed match, Fte{d
Sports says: q" We would suggest that if
there is TO be match between these two
gentlemen for the trophy, that it be shot
at the meeting Of the State Sports
Association at Sacramento next month.
Many OF the spOrtsmen from the various
sections Of the State would like to see the
match, and II IL was shot during the State
meet ii would give them an opportunity
OF doing so not easily obtained other

PARK IMPROVEMENTS.
Some Changes Being Made in t
Smaller stands.

Some Changes Being Made in the
Smaller stands.
Carpenters and cleaners are now at
work putting Agricultural Park and the
Pavilion in good shape for the coming
State Fair, at the former place. under the
direction Of Superintendent J. +. Terry.
Several improvements are to be made
at the Park, among them being the cree
ton OF a new judges stand in front of
the grand stand. The present judges
stand will be moved some yards to the
south of its present site and fitted up for
the use Of the musicians. This is an eX-
celIent idea, for persons in the grand
stand have heretofore found it unpleasant
to be crowded up close TO the baud. Be-
sides, the music will sound much better
coming from across the track, and the
new location will enable those in the
directors and special stands to hear it.
1t is also proposed TO remove the re-
porters' stand a few feet to the north. In
doing this il is to be hoped that the
directors will see that the reporters are
given sufficient room in which to do
their work and where they will be pro-
tected against the encroachments of pre-
sons who are not reporters, nor judges,
nor timers.
Heretofore it has been almost imposs-
BILE for the newspaper men to do their
writing UP of the races as the latter pro-
gress, because of outsiders crowding in
among and practically on top of them.
1t is nuisance that is really intoIerable,
but to all complaints there has como no
relief.
If the officials of the society, or the
judges, or timers, have personal friends
whom they wish to favor with places IN
der the wire-since they are not content
to occupy the Directors stand near the
entrance-they should provide box for
them near the wire, and not force them,
or allow them to force themselves, on the
newspaper men.
The board should bear in mind the
fact that the success or nOn-success OF a
racing meeting depends chiefly on the
character of reports sent out. II the COL
umns OF the newspapers in other cities
are made lurid every day with articles
burning up" the management, the re-
suit in dollars and cents at the end OF the
meeting will be plainly manifest.
1t is very easy thing 10 do TO protect
the reporters and correspondents, but it
is something that has never been done,
though spasmodic attempts have been
made. perintendent Terry has fine
opportunity to immortalize himself
this year.

stated that the company intended to ope-
rate general transportation business on

cient to afford the general public proper

duced by such representations TO sub
scribe for sixty shares OF the capital stock
Of the corporation, and agreed 10 pay
PENDANTS, although they are the directors
OF The corporation, have failed to pay
their subscriptions.
1t is also alleged that the defendants
have willfully and Efraudulently at
tempted to enter into a contract with
Parker whereby they have sought TO give
him 500 shares Of the capital stock, being
~ entire nalf thereof, without consldera-
hon and for no other purpose than that OF
enabling him and the other defendants to
control the affairs of the corporation and
defeat the claims of the plaintiffs.
And in furtherance of such illegal
combination, confederacy and con-
spiracy," the complaint goes on to say,
''they have wrongfulIy, uniawtully and
in fraud Of the rights Of these Plaintiffs,
and such other persons in whose behalf
this action is prosecuted, attempted to
purchase from the said Parker, for the
sum of So 900, or thereabouts, an old boat
called "Belvedere." worth not more than
81, 800, and of no value whatever, for the
purposes of said corporation, and have
purported TO accept from said Parker the
possession and delivery of said boat, and
have threatened to-and unless restrained
by Injunction, viii carry into effect their
said Intentions"
The plaintiffs also allege that there is
on hand belonging to the corporation
$4,000 in the California State Bank, also
prOmissory notes for 81 800, and that I'M
less restrained the defendants will collect
and apply the same to their own use and
benefits, to the exclusion OF the plaintiffs
and other subscribers.
Judge Hinkson has granted a temper
airy restraining order, to remain III effect
until further order of the court.
