Decision Determining Rights of Mem

Appealing From the Rules and Regula-
tions of the Order.
Judge Coffey of the Superior Court
of San Francisco Signs Decree
of Final Distribution in the Es-

Amounting to Three Million
Dollars.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. ia decision
determining the right of a member OF
any fraternal society to appeal from
the rules and regulations of the order
to the courts was filed by the Supreme
Court to-day.
The plaintiff, one Lawson, had been
a member of Sacramento Chapter No.
3, Royal Arch Masons. Charges of un-
becoming conduct were preferred
against Lawson, and he applied for and
obtained a restraining order enjolnlng
the committee from proceeding with
the trial A demurrer was filed and
sustained in the Superior Court, where
upon Lawson appealed to the Supreme
Court
In it's decision the court holds that
Lawson as a member of a regularly
recognized society of the organization,
had taken oath to abide by its constitu-
ton, rules and regulations, part OF
which provide a form of trial for the
investigation of charges preferred
against any member.
The court holds that the courts have
no standard by which to determine the
propriety of the rule, and are not COM
petent to exercise any function in the
matter.
The court further holds that Lawson's s
interest in the property of the organ
ization is only incidental to his mem
bership.
The Judgment of the lower court in
sustaining the demurrer is, therefore,
sustained.
