Grand Lodge Of Mississippi Resents
Action of New Jersey Body

Meridian. Miss. Feb 1sg-With.
drawal OF al fraternal affiliations and
correspondence with the grand lodge Of
New Jersey WAS announced by Grand
Master Edwin J. Martin at the open.
ing OF the session Of the grand lodge
OF Nelson's Of Mississippi The action
was due to the recognition of negroes
as Masons by the grand lodge of New
Jersey.
The difference between the Mississ.
ippi grand bodies and the New Jersey
jurisdiction began Aug %, 1908. when
Grand Master Martin of Mississippi
opened correspondence with Grand
Master William D. Wolfskell Of Eliza
beth, n. j., asking IL it was true that
the New Jersey grand lodge affiliated
with negroes. To this letter the grand
master Of New Jersey replied that
there was negro lodge at Newark
Alpha No. 1861 that was in good
standing and that there was no law In
the New Jersey jurisdiction denying to
negroes full recognition as Masons.
On account Of Mr. Wolfskell's letter
Grand Master Martin took up the mat
ter with Supreme Representative w.
A. Roane and formal announcement Of
Mississippi's withdrawal from affilia.
tions with the New Jersey grand
bodies WAS made known, Discussing
the subject, Grand Master Martin
said:
In this matter ! have done what
thought to be for the best interest Of
the fraternity. | weighed the eondi t
tions and sought thu advice of our
brethren. They almost TO "a man adj
yised me to pursue the course i haze.
In my opinion it6js tlk only alternat
tive. The negro in our land IS unfit
to assume the responsibilities and oh.
legations Of Masonry II is an open
secret that virtue and morality. which
are indispensable qualifications TO mem
bership. are foreign to the race.
Il felt it my duty as grand master
of the Mississippi grand lodge to cut
loose from any who would dare open
the door Of Masonry people whose
standing for virtne and morality is a
mockery Of civilization"
The action Of the grand master was
formally ratified By the delegates to
the grand lodge.

Had Just Been Composing a
New Song
WHEN HE SLASHED THROAT
Edward GARDENER Was Probably At
tackled by Temporary Insanlty--His
Sister Unnered by His
Death.

New York, Feb. ls.--With the manu-
scripts Of 300 songs he had written scat.
tered in confusion about the noor and
the photographs Of hundreds OF actors
and actresses who had sung his compost
tons peering at him from frames on the
walls, Edward GARDENER, a well known
writer Of popular songs, killed himself
early yesterday by cutting his throat
with razor in his home at 81 Penn
street, williamsburg.
His unmarried sister Laura, with whom
he had lived for years, was crazed by
the act OF her brother and was placed
under the care of physician.
Miss GARDENER was awakened early
yesterday morning by gurgling sound
that came from her brothers room, and
running to him found him lying on the
bed with his throat cut from ear to ear
and razor on the floor.
The woman screamed out Of the win
dow and policeman Moran responded. He
summoned an ambulance from the VIII
ismsburg hospital, but when DR.. o'Con-
nell reached the spot, GARDENER was
dead.
On desk in the room was found the
verse of new song on which GARDENER
had been at work when he retired for the
night.
GARDENER was originally an actor, but
retired from the stage to devote himself
to the writing of songs. He was pro-
life writer, some Of his best known pro-
auctions being Capt. Baby Bunting"
Everybody Loves Me But the Girl
Love-" Don't Be stingy,7 and "some
One Thinks Of Some One"
GARDENER was forty-seven years OF
age, and his friends think he killed him
self as the result Of temporary at.
tack Of insanity due to nervous break
down.
When somewhat calmer, Miss Garden
Ter said her brother appeared to have
been in good health when he left for
his room Tuesday night. He told her
that he had an idea for new song, and
that he would probably finish it before
he went to sleep. She says she heard
him walking up and down the floor dur
ing the night, as was his habit when
composing.
She said she found two verses Of new
song on his desk. but she refused to make
them public, and declined to tell the title
Of the new composition.

Washington. Feb. lst-For the first
time this session, the Senate met at II
o'clock yesterday, and at once resumed
consideration Of the naval bill Senator
Cummins OF Iowa, after calling for a
quorum, began the fight for the insur
gents, addressing the Senate in support
Of the order OF the president TO take
the marines from the battleships.
Senator Hale resented remarks of Sen.
ator Cummins to the effect that the res
toration Of the marines TO the warships
was intended to criticize the president.
Mr. Cummins quoted from Admirals
Dewey and Evans TO show that they
favored taking the marines from the
warshlps lie said practically every
naval officer felt the same way, and he
continued with a constitutional argument
in support Of the order OF the president.
Senator Borah followed for the insur
gents in support Of the presidents order
and also made a constitutional argument.
he quoted authorities in support Of the
right OF the president 10 give the order,
After the speech Of Senator Borab the
Senate voted to restore the marines to
the battleships by 81 to r. The battle
ship question was then taken up. and

persons accompanied the chauffeur back
When the door was opened by the
physician the pale and .b,ood,stained
face OF the airl was seen in the half
light She was motionloss and her
eyes staring The physician felt for
pulse but she had none. There was
a bullet wound ON the right side Of
her head with powder burns about IL,
showing that the weapon with which
the shooting was done had been held
close TO her head
The bullet had passed completely
through the airls head and smashed
the glass IN the indow,
Huddled up in q limp heap beside the
girl was the body of the man. He
fniled to show any signs Of life. The
bullet wound which had killed him
was found in his heart.
II was then about 1870 o'clock, and
ten minutes later the Reading police
were in possession Of the facts 50 far
as they were known. When they made
inquiry OF those who know Knaut they
we're told that he had approached sew
eral persons yesterday and asked them
10 lend him revolver. The reason he
gave for wanting revolver was that
he wished to attend masquerade ball
and might need the weapon for protec.
ton. There was no public masked ball
in Reading last night, and this eircum-
stance strengthened the opinion Of the
police that Kraut had murdered the
girl. after which he killed himself.
According to the mother Of the girl
the two started out TO spend Tuesday
evening with friends Of the family.
Where else they .oonh have gone. ex-
oept TO the moving picture shows, Mrs.
Rocktashel doesn't know. When she
was seen yesterday morning She said:
MY daughter was preparing her
rousseau and was as happy as any
young girl about 90 be married could
be. George visited our home constant
" and had our hearty approval. He
seemed devoted and there were no
quarrels that we knew Of"
Knaut's mother also said that he
spoke in the most affectionate terms
of the girl he was about TO marry.
