COST OF POKER GAME.
Against Law for Friends to Play n,
Private House.


Private House.
There was a surprised crowd Of poker
players in Judge Kimhals court today
when Edwin Facey was held to be guilty OF
violating the gaming law. Facey lives at
No. 1863 F. street northwest, and three
times during recent months several of his
fellow workmen have called at his house
and enjoyed quiet game of poker. Satur-
day night several friends were there. and
they played a 25-cent-lmit game until 2
o'clock in the morning, when Sergt. Shilling
and several officers made raid.
Faceys friends were in court today as
witnesses. They told of having partici-
pated in the game. and said the defendant
derived no benefit from the game except In
case he held good cards. His chances they
said, were equal to theirs. The defendant
admitted that his friends called and played
in his house He said that instead of de-
irving any benefit from the game, he treat
ed his friends to lunch and beer. He was
under the impression, he said. that 1t was
not against the law to play in this way,
without rake off"
This experience, the Judge told him.
would give him better idea of the law
The court held him guilty and sentenced
him to two days In jail and imposed a fine
Of $40 in addition to the Imprisonment.

Colored Freemasonry,

To the Editor Of The Evening STAR
Dear Sir: My attention has been called
to an article which appeared In The Even
ing Star of August 81, relating to colored
Freemasonry, by l.. w. Pulees. Mr..
Pulees states that there is oH1H one legit-
innate Supreme Council, A. A. S. r. Masons,
among colored men. Relative to remarks
made by Mr.. Pulees according to the regu-
lation governing the A. A. S. r. of 1862
and 1885, there should only be two Supreme
Councils in this country Now, the SUI
preme Council which Mr. Pulees is con-
nected with was formed in my house Octo-
Der o. 1895. One day after the regular
body met and elected officers, and Mr..
Thornton A Jackson was reelected SOW
ereign grand commander. There are lv-
ing witnesses in Washington Of good repute
who can verify what / say, SO far as the
Mystic Shrine is concerned among colored
Masons.
The order was first formed as Mecca
Arabia, A. D. 625 The order is divided
into four different departments, as fouows:
The Egyptian order, the Arabic order the
Turkish order and the Persian order. The
order was first brought to this country by
William j. Florence, the late actor, who
transmitted the same to DIR. William NJ.
Fleming. a very eminent Mason of New
York city, who, through the proper chan
nels, instituted the same in this country.
So far as Mr.. Jones is concerned and his
Mystic Shrine. there are today among col
ored Masons in this country several fac
lions of the Mystic Shrine. as follows:
One faction presided over by Mr.. Jones of
Chicago, ILL.,; another faction presided over
by Mr.. B. F. Harris of Chicago. ILL.,; an
other faction presided over by Mr.. D. F.
Seville Of Washington, d. c. The blue de-
partment over which Mr.. Terrell presides
as grand master was formed in 1913, and
is composed Of the representative colored
men of the District of Columbia Owing
to a lack Of proper conceptions of Masonic
regulations we have three different Grand
Lodges Of Masons among colored men in
the District Of Columbia.
