SCOTTISH RITES CENTENNIAL
Sovereign Grand Commander Rich
ardson Lays Down the Law of
Membership.

Washington, Oct. 21.-The supreme
council of the SSrd degree of the An
cient and Accepted Scottish Rite OF
Free Masonry for the Southern juris-
diction of the United States. the moth
er council of the world, met to-day in
biennial session. The gathering marks
the centennial celebration of the coun-
Gil, which was established in Charles
ton, S. c., in May, 1901, the actual
recognition of the centenary being de-
ferred until now to be coexistent with
the unyeiling of the monument to the
late Gen. Albert Pike, long sovereign
grand commander.
The feature of to-day's session was
the allocution delivered by Representa-
tive Richardson of Tennessee, the lieu
tenant grand commander and acting
sovereign grand commander. The allo-
cution, among other things, laid down
an important ruling that a member OF
a foreign jurisdiction cannot become
member of the jurisdiction here with
out severing his connection with the
former.
"If an applicant is a member of bod
les in a foreign jurisdiction" says the
a body in our jurisdiction until he re-
nounces his allegiance to such foreign
Jurisdiction. A citizen of Great Brit
ain or other foreign government may
be a citizen of the United States, but
he must first renounce foreign allegi-
ance and swear allegiance to our own
government. A similar rule should ap-
ply in Masonry"
Its Splendid Growth.
In the allocution, Commander Rich
ardson pointed out a splendid increase
in the membership and an unparalleled
prosperity He recommended the filling
of most of the vacancies on the supreme
council, whose full membership of 80
had become reduced to 23. In the past
two years forty new bodies of the
Scottish Rite have been organized. AS
surances have been received that the
supreme council of Colon, at session
this month. will withdraw authority
over the subordinate bodies in Porto
Rico; and Mr.. Richardson announced
that the jurisdiction of this supreme
council over Porto Rico is undisputed.
The allocution closed with an Impress
i've tribute to the late President Nc
Kinley as President and brother Ma
son.
The election of officers will occur to-
morrow.

GRIZZLY CHASES TEDDY

According to a story brought here by a
cattleman, Col Roosevelt had narrow
escape from a grizzly yesterday. The
bear was overtaken In a narrow canon
in Coyote Basin.
On account OF snow at the entrance the
hunters were forced to leave their horses
and continue the chase on foot. Near
the head OF the canon. where. on account
of preciptous walls, there was no escape
for their quarry, they overlook the bear.
Col Roosevelt, I'm spite OF warnings,
rushed ahead of the others. All were
pumping lead as fast as they could work
the levers of their rines.
stung by his wounds. the bear turned
and rushed toward his pursuers Col
Roosevelt stood his ground until the
magazine was empty and then ran. In
the now well beaten path bruin was the
swifter. Col. Roosevelt stumbled and fell.
but the grizzly. stopped by the last fusil-
iade Of bullets, dropped dead about 10
feet behind him.

WOODEN SPARS.

Designer Crowninshieid is devoting
most of his time pending the arrival OF
the nickel steel frames and other ma
terial for the Lawson boat to the con-
sideration OF spars. From what he said
yesterday, Mr.. Crowninshield will proba-
bly, have the Boston boat fitted with
wooden topmast and gan
He does not believe In having either OF
these spars constructed of steel, and, al
though he intends to have a steel boom
built, the boat will take her first spin
equipped with one of wood.
Work on the boom was continued at
Lawley's yesterday, but the men have not
finish the job Of saving IL In halves
preparatory to 1t being followed out.
The stick was paced of and found to
measure i3 feet. but bawley says IL is
only Ill feet long. and as Crowninshield
states foot or two is to be cut or each
end before II is finished. either Lawley Is
fooling the newspaper men or else the
Lawson boat Is going to have shorter
boom than that on the Columbia two
years ago.
Regarding the gan. Mr.. Crovninshield
said:
I'VE will undoubtedly use a wooden gam
throughout the season. Steel has been
tried. but we fnd by making a few fig
more than a wooden one and IL has not
yet been shown to be more reliable than
wood
1T has been stated that a wooden gaff
always buckles. but can show you pic
lures Aof both the Columbia and Sham
rock where a big buckle Is noticeable in
the steel gaffs OF both.
"One of my draughtsmen has been at
work on the scrive board at Lswley's.
''On account OF the slowness OF mate
rial In arriving. II was decided 10 utilize
the spare time in putting the stringers
and plato plans on the board also, so the
board will probably not 20 over to East
Boston until the first OF next week.
II have heard nothing from Capt. Haff
recently. Yesterday 1 wrote to him ask
ing him TO come over to see pe some
time within the next ten days 10 discuss
matters So far as l know he has not
made any further selections of men for
the boat but have mailed him a number
of applications from men living I'm this
vicinity and suppose he will see some of
them when he reaches Boston"
