HON. GEORGE NJ. NAPIER
HEADS GEORGIA MASONS
Former Deputy Grand Master

Banks Declined Office

MACON, Ga, Oct. 26.-Hon. George NJ.
Napier, deputy grand master of the
grand lodge OF Georgia Masons, was this
morning elected grand master of the
state of Georgia, defeating Max Meyer
hardt, OF Rome, a past grand master.
Hon. Henry M. Banks, Of LAGRANGE, Ca,
who has served as grandmaster for the
past term, declined to stand for re-elec-
ton. The election Of Grand Master Ma
pier was greeted by an outburst of cheer
ing that lasted for several minutes.
Grand Master Napier is one of the most
prominent Masons of Georgia, having
filled all OF the higher Offices in the
grand lodge He is also past master of
Generous lodge, of Monroe, Ga. During
his administration as deputy grand mas
ter he has been one OF the most active

come as welcome news to thousands Of
Masons over the state.

ter; n. H. Ballard, Brunswick, senior
grand warden; Frank o. Miller. Fort
Valley, junior grand warden; j. NJ. Rush
in, Boston, treasurer; w. A Wolihin,
Macon, secretary; Royal Daniel, Atlanta
deputy grand master, Fifth district.
1t is practically certain that no change
will be made in the location of the state
headquarters of the grand lodge, which
have been in Macon for many years. At
lanta has made a determined bid for
the headquarters, but a damper was
thrown on this movement by the annual
report of Grand Master Banks, who pro-
tested against a change. Grand Master
Banks also urged the expenditure of
less money for the entertainment of the
grand lodge, declaring that over $780,
600 had been spent for this purpose in
ten years, and advocated the appropria-
ton of more money for charitable pur-
poses and for the maintenance of the
various Masonic institutions.
This communica ton OF the grand lodge
is the most largely attended in the his
tory of the order in this state. There are
delegates from 57s lodges, in addition to
nearly a thousand other members OF the
order who are here to attend the ses-
sions of the grand lodge though they can
not participate as delegates.
The various meetings Of the grand
lodge are held in the city auditorium,
as the state lodge rooms were In the old
Masonic temple which was sold last
year It is believed that the present
grand lodge will authorize the building
OF the new headquarters on the site on

BRISK WINDS AGAINST
AVIATORS At BELMONT
Difficulties Will Be Encounter
ed in the Important Time
Test, it Is Thought


BELMONT PARK, y. Y, Oct. "a
Brisk winds blowing this morning pre-
saged difficulties for the aviators in the
beginning OF the important tests sched-
uled for this, the fifth day, of the In
ternational aviation meet and threaten
ed to keep the machines OF two aviators
out Of the days competitions altogeth-
er. The pair OF air men in difficulties
were A. ]. Drexel and J. c. McCurdy,
who got lost in the gathering darkness
outside the course while competing in
the cross-country flight late yesterday
afternoon and were forced TO land in
distant felds-Drexel at Rockville Cen
GER and McCurdy at Lynnbrook, each
approximately eight miles from the avia-
ton course.
The straying experts expected to take
the air and fly their machines back to
the park when daylight broke. but up to
the time when preparations for the
Gays flights had gotten under way
nothing had been heard from either.
The chances seemed TO be they would
not be able 10 get back today as the
wind was blowing at 20 miles an hour
and increasing. Coming out OF the north
with the sky clear and no fog, IL SEEM
ed probable that by noon the force Of
the air currents would have Increased
to s. or 40 miles an hour. compelling the
two flyers to stay where they were until
nightfall when the conditions would like
ly be better for their return.
The wind at 1890 a. m. was blowing
at 30 miles an hour with apparently lit
tie chance Of moderating. Indications
pointed to no flights.
A swapping northern wind that blew
from 80 to IS miles an hour took all
the promise out Of blue skies and
bright sunshine. Nobody cared TO VEN
ture out for practice The officials in
the Judges stand believed that when
the sun began to sink the wind would
abate and that there would be at least
an hour and half OF good air.

In other words, let 'em die.
Continuing, she says: cit is not neces-
sary to wait for the report from Presi-
dent Taft's tariff board. That is an old
dodge 1t is not necessary to wait for
more information on wool. There is
plenty available for study. We have the
facts in hand now.
'In any campaign undertaken, honest
protectionists, as the insurgents all are,
should force this fact upon the attention
of the people.
1.-THE wool schedule violates the princi-
plies of protection to the point of carica-
ture
':While William Whitman, guardian OF
the wool schedule, has been preaching to
congress his gospel as applied to wool
manufacturing, he has never even casu-
ally refererd to the fact that the consum-
err exists. His obtuseness-or indifference
to the evils that the legislation he
wants may work to others, runs at times
into painful brutality; as when not long
ago, at a hearing on the increased cost
of living, being asked If it was not true
that the spread OF tuberculosis was due
in part to the inability of the poor to
buy wool to protect themselves from the
cold, Mr.. Whitman characterized the the
DRY as of recent origin and declared 1t
absolutely false-that cotton was as
good for a tuberculosis patient as wool!
Whitman is afraid to do business I'M
less an army of tax gatherers are on
guard at every port!
HE believes that a great fortune jus
hon OBJ
is the result of special privilege, why
then, that special privilege must be a
good thing.
1.-The failure of the Taft administration
to put an end a year ago to the patent
swindling in the wool tariff was In itself
sufficient to shake faith in its trustwor-
thiness. Full enough proof Of the injus-
tice of the duties was put before the
committees and the president; but the
committees that silent and unresponsi$e
and Mr.. Taft fed to see the Wrights
