MASONIC TEMPLE OPENED
Most Magnificent Cathedral in the
Country.

Country.
Memphis, Tenn.-With fire, emblem of
truth, wisdom and knowledge; with wa.
ter, emblem of purity and innocence
with wine, emblem of social enjoyment,
and with salt, emblem of hospitality,
the Tennessee Scottish Rite Cathedral
of the Valley of Memphis was dedicated
Monday, amid all the pomp and stately
ceremonial that could be thrown around
this most pregnant incident in the career
of Scottish Rite Masonry in the South.
The highest officers in this august or
der conducted the services. They were
attended by knights and masters gath
cred from all parts of the South, who
are initiates in the highest mysteries of
Scottish Rite Masonry and who are of
the household of the Holy Empire, whose
mission on earth it is to dispel ignorance
and darkness and difuse knowledge and
the principles of faith, hope, charity and
federation among the peoples of the
earth.
The Scottish Rite Cathedral, the only
building of its kind in the South, and
ranking in this country next in impor-
lance to the temple of the Supreme
Council at Washington, has been under
construction in this city for the past
eight months. Costing over $50, 900, it
was formally taken over by the Scottish
Rite Masons and was dedicated to the
uses and enjoyment of its founders.

Ship GETS SENTENCE
q. 8. SUPREME COURT SENDS
TENNESSEE SHERIFF TO JAIL
Failure to Prevent Lynching Of Ne
gro Prisoner Who Had Appeal
Before Supreme Court.

Washington.-For the first time in
American history, six men are in prison
for contempt of the supreme court of
the United States. For the first time,
too, the federal government has placed
men behind the bars as an outcome of
the lynching of a negro.
At the United States jail in this city
Capt. Joseph F. Ship, former sheriff of
Chattanooga, Tenn; Jeremiah Gibson,
his %jailer, and Luther Williams, Nick
Nolan, Henry Padgett and William
Mayes of the same city, began Monday
afternoon to serve terms of imprison.
ment imposed a few hours before by the
supreme court of the United States.
Shipp and Gibson had been found
guilty of failing to protect from a mob
Ed johnson, whose legal execution for
criminal assault had been stayed by the
supreme court until that tribunal could
review the case. The others had been
found guilty of participation in the
lynching of a federal prisoner. Ship,
Williams and Nolan were given sentences
of ninety days Imprisonment each, while
Gibson, Padgett and Mayes each re-
ceived sixty days.
AS the big barred doors of the jail
swung open to receive the prisoners Mon
day afternoon, Immediately after SEN
tence had been imposed, Warden Mckee
stood before them.
AT least, we are in the hands of a
soldier" exclaimed Capt. Ship, who had
been in many a fight for the Confeder-
acy, as he espied a G. A. R. button in
the lapel of Warden McKee's coat.
Then, turning to his five fellow pris-
oners, he said:
Boys, it will be all right"
Warden Mckee has inaugurated meth
DDS of punishment at the Jail as humani-
tartan as the various class of prisoners
will allow, and he was prepared for the
reception of the six men from Tennessee.
Sitting on his straw bed, half reclIh-
ing on his pillow of straw, Capt. Ship
made this statement:
eve are very well pleased with the
given us by Warden Mckee,
and are delighted with the quarters as
u.s."
A few hours in Jail made Gibson remi-
He told his companions that
was not the first time he had been
in prison in Washington.
"But the other time / was brought
here IS a Confederate prisoner" he said.
