Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite Of
Freemasonry there will DC an interna-
tional conference Of the Supreme Councils
of the World held in this city in October.
1t will be the second conference of its
kind ever held, the first having convened
at Brussels years ago. 1t has been the
earnest desire of Sovereign Grand Com
Tander James ID. Richardson of the
Southern Jurisdiction of the United States
that .-hs conference be held in the new
House Of the Temple now being erected at
10th and streets northwest. 1t seems
doubtful at this time If this desire will be
realized, although the work on the new
structure Will be pushed as rapidly as
substantial construction and artistic re-
quirements will permit. for il is not pro-
posed to sacrifice the original design of
the grand commander to make the new
House of the Temple the handsomest
symbolic structure of it's kind in the
world.
The supreme Council for the Northern
Jurisdiction and the Royal Order of Scot
land will hold their sessions in Boston
sufficiently in advance of the conference
10 permit the attendance of those who
are required or who may desire to so TO
be present at the conference.
