MASONIC LODGE UNLIKELY
IN TEN TSlN, CHINA

THE application received from Ameri-
can Masons in Tien Tsin for the estab-
Iishment of lodge there under the
jurisdiction of the District grand lodge
amounts TO nothing more than an in
formal personal letter to that effect, F."
said a high official of the grand lodge
yesterday.
There is no question as to the au-
thority of the lodge here TO supervise
such a dependency, but I doubt very
much whether the material in the Chi
nese city is suitable The American Ma
sons there are a rowing population. A
lodge composed of such men would nee
essarily prove unstable and unsatisfac-
tory. AS yet, the proposition has not at
tanned 1ehnlte form. The grand

Great Fears of Kidnapers From City
Of BOodlers-Accompanied
by Wife.

QUEBEC, Quebec Nav 19-Daniel ].
Kelley. of New York city, who is wanted
IN ST. Louis in connection with the
ooodling cases, consented today. for the
first time since he arrived here. to dis
cuss the subject
While protesting all the time that he
had nothing to say, Kelley, after much
coaxing said:
The whole thing is political. Those
FELLOWS down in Missouri are Just sf-
ter little capital If l wanted to l
could tell pretty good story, but 1
won't do it. That's all they want me
there for-just a Witness"

There Is an impression" was suggest
ed, that you are under Indictment. Dc
you want 1t announced that your under
standing IS that you are only wanted as
a witness?"
No; don't do that" he replied. They
understand all that down there They
can't extradite me, you know. as a wit
ness; that's out of the question"
Mr. Kelley twitched his hands ner-
vously as he marked time with them
he was sitting. He looked very much
distressed.
When asked if he expected to re-
main here for some time he said. de-
family; When 1 return TO the United
States it will be when I am ready. l in
tend to see something of the surrounding
country first, and am going on a fish
ing trip into the Lake St. John country.
Not Under an Alias.
Kelley objected to the statement thai
he had come here under an alias He
showed letters Just received b. hin
addressed under his own name, and also
his name on the hotel register written
by himself
But you have been receiving mail
matters here addressed to you as ID.
Jay. was suggested Those were onl,

planned. "I did not want those news
paper people down there to know where

Colonel Gaynor, OF Syracuse, n Y. who
with Captain Greene, successfully resist
ed extradition to the United States some
months ago for alleged completely in the
harbor works scandal Colonel Gaynor
has apparently been giving Mr.. Kelley
pointers in resisting the American au-
thoritfes, for the latter IS reported 10
have hired detective to warn him
against any attempt to kidnap him such
as was tried On Gaynor and Greene.
Consults a Lawyer
Kelley has also consulted Alexander
Taschereau, a lawyer, partner Of
Premier Parent, and of the minister of
justice, Charles Fitzpatrick.
Kelley betrays his nervousness and
lacks the nerve of Gaynor and Greene
The impression here is that he drcads
kidnapping more than anything else. He
is dressed plainly in tweed suit, and
his clothes hang loosely and baggy about
him as If he was failing in flesh. When
not with his friend Gaynor, he is usually
il his own room. where he denies him
self TO all callers. His wife is with
him.
