ference, Vice President Fairbanks was
at the Masonic Temple. which is immedi-
ately across Nineteenth street from the
First Methodist church.
The entertainment took the form of a
reception by the Masons from which the

Masons present to welcome Mr.. Fair

principles of the order.
Following the reception the Vice Pres
