Valley of Topeka Masons Will
Take Degrees.
Additional Plans for Big New
Temple Here.
HAVE ENTERING CLASS OF 100

A consistory ball may be the feature
of the Scottish Rite reunion to be held
in Topeka Nov. II, II, 13 and IA To-
peka. Masons are hesitating between
plans for a formal fuII-dress affair or
less. ceremonious open house for the
Scottish Rite men and their ladies.
The drouth in the state will prevent
an unusually large attendance. An en-
thusiastic class is expected however,
with at least 100 in the entering class,
and so to receive the final degree New
electrical effects have been secured for
the elaborate limitations, and the ia
nous Masonic costumes and scenery,
valued at $4,000, will be used.
The consistory of the Valley of To-
peka, which numbers $40 members, has
outgrown it's quarters Plans for a
new temple are still being made. Ow-
ing to the limited size of the dining hall
it has become impossible to include the
ladies at the annual banquet. 1t is
possible that special arrangements will
be made to include them this year.
The fourth to the fourteenth degrees
will be given on Tuesday, Nov. IL; the
fifteenth to the nineteenth on Wednes-
day; the twentieth to the thirtieth on
Thursday; the thirty-first to the thirty
second on Friday.
The reunion will close with the ban
quet on Friday night. The ritual COM
mittee will meet tomorrow to discuss
plans for the fan convention.
The Topeka consistory has the repu-
tation of being the most enthusia site
lodge in this part of the country.

NEGRO DETECTIVE.
Sherlock Holmes of Southland Is in
Topeka Today.

Frank Walker, perhaps the only col
ored detective in the United States,
passed through Topeka today on his
landing a negro murderer that he has
chased twice through the United
States and over parts of Canada. Walk
er can neither read nor write but he is
the real thing in the sleuth line as
his credentials from the governors of
Mississippi, Tennessee and Alabama
show.
He also has credentials from the
president of the United States along
with those of nearly every sheriff and
district attorney in the southland. He
has been chasing criminals, as his Gre
dentials show, for the last IS years and
says that he has never shot or wounded
a man and has never arrested a wo-
man. -sf
His work has connected with CATCH
ing outlaws and murderers. He is as
sisted when at actual work by an 1S-
year-old girl, also colored. who he says
has proven many times invaluable
to him. While in Topeka he accident
ally stumbled on to one of his old
acquaintance from Mississippi who is
now on the Topeka police force. The
murderer which consisted of Walkers
last case is now safely behind the bars
in Kansas City. The detective will
leave Topeka Friday for Kansas
City where he again will take charge
of the man and continue his home
ward journey. Walkers home is in
Mount Briar, Miss, and in his COM
munity he is known as the Sherlock
Holmes of the southland.
