RESOLUTIONS OF THE MASONIC
CONGRESS OF coLoRED
MASoNS.

Resolutions of the Masonic Congress.
of Colored Masons:
At meeting of the general Masonic
Congress of Colored Masons of the
United States held at Boston, Mass,
July 9th, 1906, - delegates were pres
ent representing almost every state and
= territory in the union. Much import
ant business was transacted. Mr.. Henry
Newsome of R. l., offered the follow
ing resolution which was adopted:
Whereas, There has been much con-
trovercy going on for several years
relative to the Masonic standing of the
Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Massachu-
sets, and
Whereas, The delegates here as
sembled in the general Masonic Con-
gress wishing and desiring to get at the
truth of the matter as the Congress is
now being held right here in Boston,
Mass, and
Whereas. We have had a committee
appointed by this General Masonic
Congress for the purpose of securing
, the correct information On the matter
and that the committee has reported
that they have thoroughly investigated
the matter and that they are unable to
find any evidence that a genuine char
ter was at any time ever granted by
the Grand Lodge of England to a lodge
that is designated as African Lodge, No.
45o.
Therefore Be 1t Resolved, That mas
much as the Prince Hall Grand Lodge
of Massachusetts, was formed in 1901
with only one lodge and there is no
evidence that they are able to secure,
that even this lodge had a charter that
we here stigmatize and brand the
Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Massachu-
sets spurious and clandestine BODY
and that each individual Mason and
each subordinate lodge hailing under
the jurisdiction of the Prince Hall
Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, is
clandestine and spurious.
Resolved Further, That we now in
woke the corporation and support of
every Colored Mason in the country
and every regular and legitimate Grand
Lodge in helping to crush out this
Bogus Masonry that has been instituted
and perpetuated and spread by the
spurious Prince Hall Grand Lodge of
Massachusetts,. F. NJ.

Forest Fires.

Last year forest fires in this country
burned over an area of 10000 acres.
This area is great, yet it is less than
half Of that which was swept by fire
the year before. One reason for the
difference is the increased efficiency OF
the fire patrol under the United States
forest service. Its jurisdiction is linn
tied to national reservations. but the
influence of the forestry service ex-
tends to many private wooded tracts.
The professional foresters are teaching
the people how to care for the trees.
One simple rule. which the owner Of .
few trees can easily follow and the
owner Of many trees cannot afford to
neglect, is TO keep the underbrush
cleared. Most forest fires start In
brush. A wood clear of brush has, so
to speak, no klndling in which a fire
can start.

Pixies Peak.

The birthday of a mountain peak has
seldom, If ever. been observed in
America, but in September the birth
day OF Pixies peak, so far as history
Is concerned, will be observed by the
state of Colorado, with President
Roosevelt and some Of the members
Of his cabinet as guests. The occasion
will mark the one hundredth anniver-
sary of the discovery Of the mountain
by Lieutenant ZebulOn Pike and may
possibly be the occasion OF an inter-
national event of some interest. When
Lieutenant Pike was captured by
Spanish soldiers In February, 1907, he
was relieved of several maps and
manuscripts, which were never recov-
cred They are supposed to have been
sent by the governor of Santa Fe to
the viceroy at the City OF Mexico and
by him forwarded to Madrid. AS the
Spanish are careful about the preser-
walton Of historic documents and rec
ords, ii Is believed that Pixies papers
are still in existence. At the sugges-
ton of Representative Brooks Of Colo
RADIO Secretary Root has requested the
Spanish government to institute a
search for them. II found they will
probably be returned.

LABOR MEN SEEK
To MEET BROWN
BOYS ARGUMENT

Members OF the local labor unions have
evinced a desire from time TO time to
meet the students OF economic problems
at Brown university in debate. but have
never been aroused TO the point OF is
suing challenge until after the YER
dict OF last evenings debate against the
closed shop.
They now express a desire TO meet the
winning team In debate on the same
question.
The members OF the Typographical
union are the prime movers. and this
afternoon sent a communicate tion to the
captain of the team to see II some ar
rangement for a debate can be made.
II is desired that the debate shall take
place In some large public hall. so that
all interested may be present
Just how the challenge will be taken
by the team at Brown cannot be pre-
dicted safely; but IL Is thought both they
and the faculty would welcome the Joint
debate.
