Masonic Building Repairs Are
Completed and MasOns Celebrate

BILE and various plans have been con-
sidered for making it more suitable for
the use of the bodies and last spring
it was definitely decided to begin
work, the plan being to repair and
put the entire structure in good order
When work was actually begun it was
found that conditions were so bad that
a complete rebuilding was necessary.
Five large iron pillars were started
from the ledge under the building and
were carried through to the roof, being
run between the walls. On each floor
large 24-inch iron Orders were run
through these pillars and into the
walls. This made modern steel frame
work inside of the walls of the old
building. The large steel gtrders on
the roof which it was found were not
holding up anything were taken down
and sold for junk and a thoroughly
modern building was made. num-
Der of changes were made to the in
terror Arrangement, small addition
vas placed on the back side and IN
this was housed the organ giving
about IL feet more floor space in the
Masonic hail. doubling the size of the
kitchen and providing small card
room in the club rooms. The roof OF
the banquet hall was raised "a inches
and ventilators We're put in. The OLD
Armory was changed into a reeep-
ton room and the Armory was built
on the second floor, a small reception
room has also been added on the sec
cnd floor for the club rooms.
Cost About $4,000
The cost of the complete rebuilding
was about 5000. The work was
done by j. w Bishop s. Co. of Bos-
ton, firm that makes speciality OF
Just such work. Some of the brick
and carpenter work was handled by
local firms but all of the steel work
was by the Bishop men. After the
completion Of the work on the building
il was decided that new furniture was
needed in the rooms and $4,000 was ex-
pended for this. Thus it was in a
practically new building with new fur
nitura that the reception was held.
The committee which had the work
in charge consisted of John H. Bur-
leigh, DIR. F. c. Thayer, George L.
Learned, w. A. Hager and NJ. F. Bart
lett. The work has all been done I'M
der the personal supervision of Mr..
Burleigh.
At the close of the reception the
guests were shown about the building
and the various improvements were
noted. A short address by Carroll n.
Perkins, Esq, was enjoyed and then
the guests adjourned to the billiard
room of the club, where a fine lunch
was served. The evenings entertain
ment was closed with dancing and
card playing Pullen's Orchestra fur
nishing the music for the dancing.

Opposes State
Bank Control

Boston, March 26.-Bank Commits
sioner Augustus G. Thorndike express
ed opposition to any state supervision
of private banks in an opinion handed
to the Senate today. The opinion had
been requested as guide to that body
in framing legislation to prevent fail
ure such as that of the private bank
conducted in connection with the Hen
ry Siegel Co. department store.
The probability that certain banks
of an unreliable nature would capital
lie state supervision" was given by
the commissioner as a reason for OPP
position TO such oversight. He added
that he believed state supervision
would do more harm that good. The
commissioner said he was investigat-
ing the Siegel failure, and might be
able to make recommendations for leg
islation at later date.

The reception which was held at

The Masonic Building
The, Masonic building which was so
happily dedicated was first planned
in the early SOS. The Masons of
Watervile considered for long time
having a home of their own and early
in 1890 the waterville Masonic Build
ing Co, corporation duly organized
under the laws of the State of Maine,
began selling shares for the purpose
of constructing such building. Work
of construction was begun early in the
summer and was under the control of
committee of which Charles G.
Carleton was the chairman. The firm
of NJ. C. Foster & Son were the
builders
The building of Masonic home
aroused great interest among the
Masons of Waterville and vicinity and
was indirectly responsible for the for
nation of Teconnet Chapter in 1892,
until that time it having been neces-
sary to go to Oakland to obtain the
chapter degrees.
Late in the eos several of the
stockholders began buying up stock
until in 1898 or 1899 the ownership of
the building passed into the hands of
DIR. F. c, Thayer and George Fred Ter
~. In 1902 DIR. Thayer purchased the
interests of Mr.. Terry. Soon after this
he announced his intention Of giving
the building to the Masonic bodies of
Waterville and in pursuance of this
plan the Waterville Masonic Associa-
ton was organized it being holding
company composed of the members of
all the Masonic bodies in Waterville.
To them DIR. Thayer then presented the
building. At about the same time
Hon. Cyrus w, Davis gave the pipe or.
gan, which is one of the finest in any
Masonic Hall in Maine.

YES" responded the witness, "but
it was / who succeeded that woman
as the wife of M. Caillaux. / will recall
to you how M. Calmette, in an article
on March i6, bantered my husband re-
garding the intimate nature of this
letter: and that is not politics"
Nine. Caillaux told the magistrate
she had received on March Is an
anonymous letter which she had since
destroyed, informing her of the immi-
nent publication of letters concerning
her.
Asked by M. Boucard to enlighten
him regarding the contents of the let

herself.
