OAKLAND SHRINERS
ESTABLISH TEMPLE
New Moon Is Pendant of Lodge;
Charter Granted After
Lengthy Campaign

OAKLAND, June 22,-After nearly
four years of campaigning the local
members of the Ancient Order of Mobiles
of the Mystic Shrine tonight established
new temple known as the Temple of
Aahmes" with appropriate exercises at
Maple hall, Fourteenth and Webster
streets. According to the custom of
the order each state is limited to from
one to two temples and the success of
the Oakland members in securing the
privilege to establish the new temple is
regarded as an unusual concession, in
asmuch as temples already exist at San
Francisco and Los Angeles.
The imperial council of the order met
at New Orleans April IS. 1910, and after
much debate the local delegates, under
the leadership of Ben o. Johnson, re-
ceived the privilege to establish the new
temple. The news was telegraphed to
Fred w. lie BaIIister of the local body
and was read before the Oakland
Shriners, who were giving a theater
party at the Ye Liberty playhouse at
the time. Since then the members have
been energetically engaged in preparing
for the instituting of the new temple
and tonights ceremony and program
was of most excellent character
Robert B. Moore, illustrious potentate
of Islam temple, San Francisco, acted
as marshal of the evening, and Ben O.
Johnson was guest of honor. There
were present nearly 500 members, all of
whom were in full dress, wearing the
usual fez.
After the ritualistic ceremony the
installation of officers took place, as
follows: Illustrious potentate, Frank
w. Bilger; chief rabban, Ben o. john
son; assistant rabban, George Mere
dith; high priest and prophet, Fred w.
lie Ballister; oriental guide, David W.
Mclaughlin; treasurer, j. A. Hill: re-
master, Ben f. Woolner; second cere-
monial master, Charles II. Campbell; !;
director, A. l.. OFT; marshal, Charles
Chubb; captain of guards, w. A
Walker; outer guard and master of
property, Ed +. Hughes.
Charles L. Field, past imperial poten-
tate Of the Shriners of America, pre-
sided as installing officer.
The installation of officers was fol-
lowed by banquet at which the fol-
lowing spoke: Charles L. Field, Rob-
ert B. Moore, Fl. D. Loveland, Francis
V. Keesling. George Filmer, r. w.
Meek, Frank B. Ogden, w. H. Waste
Frank K. Mott, E. K. Taylor, DR..
George c. Pardee, C. J. Heeseman, Ben
L. w OOiHeF anu GeOTS6 w. AuSllH.
More than 800 applicants for charter
membership have already been regis
tered and it is expected that the final
roll will show a membership of about
500 names.
The emblem of the new temple has
the new moon for the pendant, and, as
if fitting for the occasion, the new
moon appeared resplendent in the heav-
ems tonight The pendant was chosen
in honor of the patron deity of the new
institution, Aahmes, the god of the
moon.
The robes to be worn by the officers
of the shrine have been purchased at
an approximate cost of $4,000 by a.
committee composed of the following.
d. H. Mclaughlin, A. Kendall, Charles
Chubb. W. A. Walker. F. w. Bilger and
L. B. Goldberg.

WOMAN SUPERIOR
INDUSTRIALLY
DR.. Breckenridge Says She Is of
More Material Value to
World Than Man

BERKELEY, June 22.-Mere man
was declared to be of less industrial
value to the world than woman by DR..
Sophonisba Breckinridge in her lecture
on household economics before the sum
mer session of the university4tfis aft
ernoon. She made the statement after
asking a representative of the press
to leave the classroom
The lecturer said that through all
time woman has proved herself the su-
perior of man in Industrial worth, but
had always collected wages less than
those of man.
She explained that this was due to
the fact that while woman was a keen
and shrewd maker, buyer and manu-
facturer, she knew little of bartering
for her own wages. and had as a con-
sequence received less pay than due
her.
But the time was coming, Doctor
Breckenridge told the class, when man
and woman would stand on the same
industrial plane and their wages would
be equalized by an equal social condi :
tion. This phase of the question, and
the advancement of woman socially
and industriaily, she promised for a
future lecture, with sidelights on a
new theory of her own in that regard.
The advance of women industrially,
she said, was proved by the fact that
in the 303 employments of man woman
occupied 295 of them, and that only in
eight was there no woman worker.
These positions she declared were gov
ernmental ones, such as the army and
navy, where woman was barred.
This statement arouAed the interest
of the class of about 40 women and
one Japanese. One student declared
that in her own state of Argentine the
women made efficient streetcar con-
ductorS and motormen.
In ejecting reporter from the lec-
ture room, in spite of the fact that she
had q card of admission, Doctor Breck-
inridge declared that hereafter all rep
resentatives of the press were warned
not to attend her lectures, which were
for students only.
