Washington, ID. c., March 23.-That
Roosevelt messages to LaFollette
Were such as to convince the latter
that he would have Roosevelt's sup

Walter l.. Houser to Gibson Gardner,
made public at the LaFollettc head
quarters here today.
The letters says: &.
You say Roosevelt said he would
in the columns of the Outlook and

his place in history was made and
that he could not afford to take de-
feat, and that whichever made the
fight was certain to be defeated, as
this was democratic year"
'Houser renewed the charge that
the attitude of the Roosevelt forces
toward LaFollette changed as soon
as there became evident a widespread
growth OF the progressive movement.

AGENT Is
HUNTING LOST MOP

"The Mystery of the Warehouse, or
Who Filched the Agents Mop" is the
title of little drama enacted at the
White Collar steamboat offices at the
foot of Nineteenth street yesterday.
From the meager facts which are CLEAN
ed from this daring robbery, it appears
the mop, a new one, was repOsing be-
hind the cash register, and that while
the agent stepped out for moment,
some intrepid soul cat footed it into
the Office, and Selling the coveted dirt
eXterminator, fed. The agent is work
ing upon the case and says he has
several perfectly good clews which
may lead to the apprehension of the
bandits. When asked for a statement
this morning he replied: 81 have moth
ing to say for publication, but between
you and me, l believe l can state with
out fear of successful contradiction,
that the steward of the Helen Blair,

Over two years ago, the Masons de-
cided to erect a lodge home on the
corner of Eighteenth street and Fifth
avenue. Plans were drawn and en-
bodied a building of which the above
is picture. The plans arctic be al
tered somewhat and a new estimate
of the cost is to be made. The mem
bers of the fraternity state that they
expect few changes in the general ex-
terror and only slight alterations in
the interior.
The building covers 100 feet by
lis feet. The front part is three
stories corresponding with two high
er stories in the rear which contain
the lodge rooms and banquet hall.
On the first floor, opening of the
large lobby, are two club rooms on
the left. On the right is the office
and ladies' parlor. Directly oppo-
site the entrance is the ball room,
50X52, and a concert hall, 35x3S feet
These two rooms can be thrown to-
gether making an uninterrupted ball
room floor IS feet in length. Mems

are also on this floor. In the real
of the ball room are a large kitchen
and a small dining room and a real
stairs.
The main stairway opens up to the
right in the lobby. Off the landing
of this stairs, half way up to second
is the front half-story eight-foo
ceiling, just enough for the armor!
and some reserve space not yet as
signed. There is a private stair from
the armory up to the lodge room

In the second story are two lodg,
rooms-the larger 5Ox64 feet has

ed to head the Masonic campaign and
the men who we're among the best
Y. VI. c. 4. workers were called upon
to aid in the lodge campaign. They
gave their services gladly and work
cd with a vim and vigor that simply
could not meet failure. The canvass
Of the fraternity membership was
started just a week ago. From that
instant. the response of the member
ship showed that the amount would
be raised. Saturday night there was
assurance of it. Monday morning
saw it's successful attainment and last
evening when the committeeman re-
ported to their captains, H. A. Clev-
enstine and II. II. Cleaveland, at the
Rock Island club, it was learned that
several thousand dollars over and
above the amount had been secured.
REPORT At CLUB.
While the workers gathered around
the dinner tables at the Rock Island
club last evening, reports of the six
days campaign were discussed. Feat
ures of the weeks work were gone
over. When the men left the club it
was to go TO. the Masonic temple in
the Robinson building. The Rock Is
land commandery, No. IS, Knights
Templar, gave a social entertain
ment there last evening and when the
news of the success of the campaign
was given, there was applause for the
workers and for the work which had
been accomplished.
Not only will local Masons rejoice
a. the success of the campaign and
the assurance of the new building,
but those over the state and country
will extend congratulations. Delmar
/ d. Darrah of Bloomington, grand
master of the state organization, was
notified of the success of the project
last evening. His reply came direct
ly, Accept my congratulations.
When may l lag the corner stone?"
DARRAH WAS AN AID.
A month ago today, Mr.. Darrah was
accorded a reception by Rock Island
lodge, No. IS, and at that time de-
livered an address which had much
to do with the campaign. To him in
a slight degree is attributed the
success of the undertaking.
One of the workers stated this
morning, I'VE went into the Y.sM. c
A. campaign and learned how to turn
the trick. We profited by the ex
perience we gained there"
The funds were raised entirely
among the Masonic fraternity
Though the campaign closed las
night and was successful, the sub
scription lists will be kept open 81
that those who have not had an op
portunity to contribute to the func
may do so now.

Quiet Campaign of Six Days Re-
suits in Raising of Over
$4,000.
THE FRATERNITY
Building VIII BE Erected as Soon as
Necessary Performances Are
Attended TO.

Rock Island Masons by their re-
spouse to the committee which was
chosen to solicit subscriptions for
bonds worth $4,000, enabled that
committee to successfully complete
the campaign in six days and assure
the Masonic fraternity of this city a
modern and substantial lodge home,
TO be erected on the Masonic property
at the corner of Eighteenth street
and Fifth avenue. Such was the an
nouncement made today.
Not only was the aim of the COM
mittee accomplished-the raising of
$50, 0O0-but several thousand dol
lars over that amount was secured.
The original plans for the building
will be remodeled, TO be presented to
the building committee with a care
fully prepared estimate of the cost.
The committee will arrange for the
erection OF the structure with the OBJ
ject in view of assuring its compile
ton at as early a date as possible.
HISTORY of PLANS.
A little more than two years ago,
the Masons of this city decided that
a building for the Masons had be-
come a necessity because of the
growth of the lodge. other cities
had completed campaigns with sue
cess, and as in other projects, what
other cities can do, Rock Island can
outdo. ~ their motto, the Masons de-
cided TO secure building. Until
March, 1911, plans failed TO mate
rialize. At that time it was decided
TO place bonds. That plan was for
saken soon after It was decided upon.
This year, the matter was again CIV
en- impetus because Of the rising
needs. Little was said of the plans
except that Masons would be called
upon TO purchase bonds 10 bear inter
est and to be redeemed after a GER
tain period OF years. Booster meet
ings were held.
MASONs AID ASSOCIATION.
when the local Y. NJ. c. A. launch
ed into its campaign for the raising
OF 1925. 900, members OF the Masonic
fraternity enlisted in the service. II

successful campaign. He was select.
