MAsoNs PAY TRIBUTE TO WASHINGTON
Bishop Potter and Others Address Large
Meeting at Metropolitan Temple.

Freen,asons met last night at the Metropolitan
Temple to pay tribute to the memory OF George

turned away unable even to obtain standing room
On the pulpit with the pastor, the Rev John ives

Master Townsend Scudder and several others prom
fnent in Masonic circles. The body of the church
was filed with Masons representing the lodges OF
the CITY. and members of the Grand Lodge had
seats reserved for them near the .chancel railing.
After a prayer by Bishop Fowler the Rev. Dr.
Hill introduced Bishop Potter. who spoke on the
Masonry of George Washington. The Bishop sa1d
that no matter what might be said TO the contrary,
the Father of his Country had been Mason, re-
ceiving his first degree at Fredericksburg, Va, in
his twenty first year

SWISS LACE CASES REOPENED.
Customs Refunds of $15OOOO Sought by I'm
porters and Attorneys.

A suit involving the refunding of duties and
penalties said to amount to $150,0O0, which were
paid to the government embroideries held to
be undervalued, is now being prosecuted before
the Board of United States General Appraisers.
The case is In the name of Loeb & Schoenfeld,
lace importers, of this city, although many other
firms in the city said to be interested in the
proceedings.
The present contention reopens before the
lower customs tribunal for adjudication the ST.
Gall Swiss embroidery cases, supposed 10
have been settled ten years ago. and raises the
question of the legality of the appraisal of the
embroideres then. Following the general prac-
tice. if the importers win the present suit, they
will receive 30 per cent of the refunds, and the
law firm of Curie. Smith & Maxwell which is
prosecuting the suit will receive the remainder.
The United States Circuit Court recently de-
cided that the appraisers must have the goods
before them before deciding their value, but
In this instance the goods of Loeb & Schoenfeld
were not present for actual inspection, samples
alone being put in evidence. The action of the
importers and their attorneys IS based this
decision.

ANOTHER CONGO HITCH.
King Leopold Reported Obstruct'ng
Plans for Treaty.

Brussels Feb. 23-The situation regarding the
annexation to Belgium of the Congo independent
State again is assuming disquieting aspect IL
is reported that King Leopold has taken back all
his fair promises and now demands that the spe-
cfaI fund which was to replace the crown DOMAIN
be placed under his control, and not under that
of parliament as originally agreed In addition
he asks that S50,OOO.OOO be placed at his dis
posaI to carry out various plans.
1t is understood that the government is hrn1iy
resisting these demands and is determined, II IL
becomes necessary, to resign. 1t is pointed out
that as King Leopold could not under sucn
circumstances find any one to form a new MIN
istry the resignation would mean election''
which would be sure to result in the return OF a
ma iority most hostile to the King.
The Petit Bleu," while admitting that there
have been exchanges in the last few days be-
tween King Leopold and Premier Schollaert on
the question of annexation, says they have not
resulted in a settlement, owing to inability to
agree on the use of the revenue from the special
fund. The paper however, denies that a min
isteral crisis is imminent.
