L, II HEa%-
ropolitan Bank is the chairman of the COM
mttee outside donations and Mr.. John
B. Larner Is the vice chairman. This COM
mttee embraces a number of the most
prominent and influential business men of
Washington. On the theory that every Ma
sonic body in the country IS interested in a
larger or smaller way, in having the fra
ternity represented at the national capital
by a building properly typifying the fra
ternity's Importance, 1t Is the plan Of the
committee to solicit aid for the building
fund from Masons the country over. In
1898 and again In 1902 similar committees
did important work in the way of securing
outside donations, and from the way in
which Mr.. Parker's committee is mapping
out it's work. the records made in those
years are probably to be broken. The men,
bers of the committee, in addition to- the
