THE OTHER SIDE.

In commenting recently on the un-
just attempt made by members of the
Grand Chapter of Scotland to have
the word Christian" inserted in the
application blanks of the O. e. S.,
there was no desire to accuse all non
Jewish Masons of anti-semitic discrim-
nation. This attempted prescription
against the entrance of honorable
members Of our faith into the o. e. S.
was brought to our attention by a
Jewess, who justly resented the very
un Masonic action. That the Grand
Chapter of Texas disapproved speaks
well for the tolerant spirit of that
body, but this sentiment seemed not
sufficiently strong to restrain the G.
G.. of S. from trying to have the OBJ
jectionable word inserted in spite of
the merited rebuke. We infer that
the same broad policy which defeated
the measure in turn gave encourage
ment to the "one narrow-minded, big
oted, intolerant member to push the
matter further and lay it before the
Grand Chapter of the United States"
We hope it will there receive the
treatment accorded it in Texas. We
gladly give publicity to the dignified
protest of the Past Grand Patron of
the Order of the Eastern Star of
Texas.
Editor Jewish Herald, Houston, Tex:
Your article in the Jewish Herald,
Are These Wives and Daughters of
Masons?" contains much that is er-
roneons and misleading. You say that
az the meeting of the Grand Chapter
at Austin an attempt was made to
exclude Jews from membership. That
is absolutely wrong. No attempt was
made, but on the contrary, resolu-
ton was adopted opposing any such
attempt on the part of the Grand
Chapter of Scotland The facts are
that one narrow minded bigoted, in
tolerant member of the Grand Chapter
of Scotland has presented a resolu-
ton to have put into the application
blank clause that the o. E. s. is a
Christian order. This has not been
adopted as yet, but the Grand Chapter
of Scotland has referred it to the
Grand Chapter of the United States
for an expression. The Grand Chap
ter of Texas hos promptly and in plain
language expressed the unqualified
disapproval of any such action and the
Grand Chapter of the United States
will beyond doubt do likewise; in fact,
cannot stamp the resolution with their
approval by reason of the fact that the
o. E. S. is not purely Christian, or no
more Christian than Jewish. It's mi
tiation ceremonies are founded upon
incidents in the life of Jepthah's
daughter, Ruth, and Esther, all of
whom are spoken Of as Jewish hero
ines, and upon Martha and Electa,
the last-named mythical character
invented for the purpose; therefore, it

WHAT THE WEATHER
MAN SAYS TODAY

Light to moderate rains have fall
en- from the north Pacific coast to
the Rockies, caused by a storm
center now out on the north Pa
cific; and rain was falling early this
morning in Oklahoma. Elsewhere
fair weather has prevailed during
the last "a hours, due to the preva-
lence of normal to moderately high
pressure eastwardly from the
Rockies, with crest on the north
Atlantic coast. Areas of moder-
ately low pressure are respectively
central over Arizona and middle
Canada. Moderately high pressure
Is over northern Alberta. There is
prevalence of somewhat higher
temperature, which seems to be
general eastwardly from the Mis-
sissippi valley, however, tempera-
ture changes in general have not
been of much Importance. From
the Pacific to the Rockies tempera-
lures remain more or less above
normal. Conditions are favorable
for showers tonight and Sunday in
this vicinity. Chas. Stewart, Local

At the Washington

THE Maybe and the Jay" a
comedy dramatic playlet, by Ed
ward Weitzel, is to be the feature
of the Washington program for next
week. The playlet will be present
ed by Maude Hall Macy and her
company. The gem of comedy and
pathos to be given by Miss Macy
and her company is one of the most
cleverly written acts on the vaude-
vile stage. 1t employs three char
acters: Jay Bird. a young farmer,
his sister. a Woodworking, narrow
thinking. but honest and self-sacr-
ficing old maid, who has passed all
her life in the slavery of the farm,
and Liz (the Magpie), Bowery
girl of the well-known type. Liz
comes up from the city to marry
Farmer Bird, whom she knows only
through advertisement. She first
appears on the scene labOriously
dragging her trunk from the rail-
way station, and then ensues "a
series of dialogues with her pros
pective husband and sister-in-law.
The most daring and exhilarating
of gymnastic features will be seen
in the offering by the Four ldanias
Troupe of lady gymnasts. These
remarkable artists perform series
of gymnastic feats that are I'M
equaled in the world of vaudeville.
Two of the cleverest black face
comedians on the American stage
will be seen in John COrcoran and
Harland Dixon, who will offer their
conglomeration of sprightly songs,
acrobatic dances and witty chat
ter. Mr.. COrcOran has an original
style of dancing that always brings
forth a hearty laugh, and Mr.. Dix
on is decidedly clever as a story
teller and singer.
Spokane will be honored next
week by the presence of Countess
Leontine. formerly wife of Count
Perkifsky of Posen, Germany. The
countess has accepted the Sullivan
& Considine tour for the purpose
of seeing the western country, and
her salary will be given to charity.
Countess LeOntine is one of the
most beautiful women of the en-
peror's court, and she possesses a
very pretty soprano voice.
An excellent comedy juggling act
will be offered by the Boyle Bros,
who introduce an original brand
of comedy that is said to be de-
cidedly funny.
Another comedy hit of the bill
will be Billy Elwood, who is clev-
err monologist and has an excel
lent singing voice.

PARIS, March 19.-The bath man
is abroad again. For quite a while
many Parisians had to go bathless
because his wagon could not get
through the flooded or sunken
streets.
Many Paris houses have no bath
rooms, and the public bath man has
become quite an institution. For a
few pennies anyone who thinks he
needs bath can enjoy the luxury
of a nice tub right in his parlor if
he so elects. The public bather also
provides the hot water.

Dr.. Hektoen. Chicago Pathologist,
Testifes in Trial of DR.. B. C.
Hyde, in Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 30.-The
period of expert testimony has arriv-
ed in the trial of DR.. b. c. Hyde for
the alleged poisoning of Col Thomas
H. Swope In supposed plot to obtain
the latters millions. Today Ludwig
V. Hektoen, the Chicago pathologist,
took the stand to report the findings
he made after an analysis of the Wis
cora and stomach contents of the al
legged victims OF the defendant
Answering a hypothetical question,
Dr.. Kektoen testified that Chrisman
Swope died from Some powerful and
paralyzing poison" Hektoen con-
tinued
If the patient had typhoid and man
ifested such symptoms his death may
have been from poisons or combin-
alton OF poisons. Upon the manifes-
tations OF such symptoms, the admin
istering OF strychnine would not be
advisable"
Regarding Col Swope's body, Dr.
Hektoen said
The brain was removed without iLl-
jury. At the base there were small
yellowish areas OF tissue. The walls
of the arteries were thickened. This
condition could not have caused death.
Col. Swope did not die OF apoplexy.
My observations of all the postmortem
symptoms did not reveal evidence OF
death from disease
In response to a hypothetical ques-
ton, DR.. Hektoen said In his opinion
death was caused from a paralyzing
poison or combination OF poisons. Cy.

such poisons

HOTEL PONTCHARTRAIN
HAS BIG BURGLARY SCARE
Heap OF Excitement When $4,000 OF
Jewelry Disappears-Porter Sent

Only the firm, unyielding determln-
alton OF the clerks and proprietors OF
