A motion was made by a certain
brother, (who is now talking consid-
cradle about bogus bodiesl that the
papers eminating from the Baron "A.
Hugo De Bulow in possession OF the
| New York Supreme Council; (Which
Council is now styled bogus by the
same party who made the motlon) be
acknowledged by the Councils OF the
| Northern and Southern jurisdiction as
the original and proper authority tor
the establishment of the A. A. ). X: IN
the United States among Colored Ma
sons. Another prominent brother SAID
that he would amend by inserting the
papers of Brother David Leary. The
difference between these possessed by
the New York Council being that the
former 1eary'S) had been issued by
BODY, and the De Bulow papers by an
individual though both had undoubted
authority. Another prominent brother
who was present stated his objections
too, including the Leary papers IN the
proposed resolution was SEWPle 0Hf
efectf9e.
The Leary papers he said would not
hold water or bear investigation. The
Supreme Council of France from which
the Leary papers appear to emlnate
always publish their issues and import
ant acts and for the year which It IS
claimed that Brother Leary's patient
as an Inspector-Generalw was granted,
no mention is made of it, and brethren
had better hesitate before dating from
it. On the other hand the De BuloW
papers and work is atteSted by COntem-
porary writer's and history and living
witnesses as to his authority and repre-
sentative capacity among whites IN
this country. The amendment was not
seconded or pressed and the original
motion passed without dissent. lAnd
to-day the same brother who made the
original motion, classes the New York
Supreme Council as being bogus and
spurious Supreme Council. By watch
