NEW MILITIA.

The movement on the part of the
citizens of Nashville was
started this week in the form of a
petition to the Adjutant-General Of
the state of Tennessee for permits
sion or for his consent for the organ
ization of an additional company of
state militia. The petition is signed
by practically all of the business men
in the city, as well as the profess
sional men, setting forth the fact that
Luke Nick is the one to do this organ
ization work.
There is already one company,
known as Company G.. Unattached,
which is thoroughly drilled and is a
credit to the state. Each year en-
campments are held at Greenwood
Park, but those who are promoting
the new organization are said to be
doing it in the interest of the adj
vancement of military discipline that
is so needed and that will help the
state greatly.
The Nashville globe. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1906-193?, 1911-02-03
and all American citizens, are enti-
tied. The right of petition is ours.

The above appeared in the Nashville
Banner, Friday, Jan 81, as the decis-
ion of Chancellor Allison in the suit
that was entered by the white knights
of Pythias of Tennessee against the
Grand Lodge of the Negro Pythians
The chancellor holds that the Negroes
have no legal right to call themselves
Knights of Pythias, nor to use any or
the paraphanalia of the order. The
decision was very disappointing to the
Negro fraternity, and steps have ben
taken for an immediate appeal to the
Supreme Court of the State. The Ne
gro Pythians are loath to surrender
all they have gained by years of tot.
and privation without legal struggle.

July Is, 1909, on behalf of the Su-
preme Lodge, Knights of Pythias of
Tennessee, the Grand Lodge of the
State, and the various subordinate
lodges and individuals composing the
order. 1t was set forth in the original
bill that the Knights of Pythias had
limited their membership to white
persons; that the organization had
been founded in 1864 and had de-
veloped into an order with member
ship of more than 100000, with lodges
in the United States, Canada and
many foreign countries.
1t was shown that the defendants
(the colored Pythians) were claiming
to have been organized at the same
time as complaints and that they
gave as the founder of their order
Justus H. Rathbone, the same man
man who founded the order of com
plalnants.
The bill sought to enjoin the de-
PENDANTS from carrying on or prose
cutting any work under any name or
title embracing the word "Pythias' in
conjunction with or a colorado imi
tation of complaintants order. The
bin PRAYED that the defendant be en-

badges, insignia, regalia, uniforms
arms, designs, pins, rings, buttons
