MOOSE LODGE CHARTER REVOKED
MEMBERS MAY AFF|[|ATE WITH DEER

Because tlse local lodge is incorpor-
|ated under the laws of the territory,
III is claimed that the grand lodge can
have no control of funds or other
property of the local lodge, nor can it
close its quarters, which are held un-
der 10-year lease. The possibility
of their being enjoined from using the
common name of the order, is conced-
ed. by some members, and denied by
others. In any event, they very
largely are agreed that they, are go
Ing right ahead as they have been in
the handling of their business, and
will not worry over what the grand
lodge officers think or do. - .@~..
1t appears that as far as the grand
lodge is concerned, the Honolulu
lodge lost its charter several months
ago, at the time of the stormy visit of
the grand lodge representatives, Da-
Wis and Lntz. Also at that time, all
of the officers of the lodge resigned,
and the lodge continued under acting,
officers APPOINTED by the district dep
nty until the regular time of holding
election 1T is understood that the
Election held two weeks ago was eX
pected to sstraighten out all the trou-
Bile, and that District Deputy Brown
was TO recommend the reinstatement
of the lodge; but the election was not
at all according to the liking of the
supreme lDdge representative, and he
refused to recognize the new officers.
These officers who are at present
exercising the functions of. the lodge
are: G. s. Leithead, dictator; A. T.

When the Honolulu Lodge of Loyal
Order of Moose met March 20 and
elected officers for the ensuing year,
il was understood by outsiders at
least - that the various and eompli-
Gated troubles of local body had
ended Instead it seems that they
had Just nicely started &
The status of the lodge at present
is that its charter from the supreme
lodge has been revoked; that so far
as the supreme body Is concerned, the
lodge is non est; but that the local
membership has defied the parent;
and purposes going ahead on its own
hook
IL is stated that c. H. Brown, who
as district deputy represents the SUI
preme lodge in this territory, was in-
strHcted by Grand Dictator Walter g.
Dorm, from San Francisco, to, close
up the local quarters; but that this is
an order more easily made than exc
cuted. and that there doesn't seem to
be any likelihood that Mr.. Brown will
try very hard for the present TO exc
cute IT, 49, ss T
Some of the local Moose refuse to
talk about their troubles, but others
are perfectly willing to have their
side of the situation made known, and
from these it would seem that the
Moose as national order is likely to
be entirely disrupted in a short time.
Some of the members are not at all
charitable in their comments and
charges against the leaders of the
organization, and cite the fact that
the Los Angeles lodge is at present in
state of similar rebellion as is Ho-
nclulu lodge. They say that the local
lodge and all it contains. and stands
for belongs to the Honolulu members,
and that no claim can be made against
them by the grand lodge.

rush the work the result would indeed
be an expensive lesson to Honolulu.
However, there could be no chance for
the contractor to sell any bonds based
upon such illegal procedure, and at
the end of the lesson, there would be
only expense and no progress.
Because there is an attempt to
make haste slowly and correctly,
guided by the legal department., is
there an expensive lesson?

lulu have argued and protested and
appealed and urged the supervisors TO
give them the privilege of building
their own roads and streets, bearing
the cost under the frontage tax sys-
tenn. The statement is made the basis
Of an argument that the supervisors
would be deprived of political patron
age in building roads in that way, and
therefore they are resisting the petit
ticns, etc.
IF pass by this obvious error in the
argument which does not consider the
eood effect of having more road work
going on no matter who pays the bill,
end call attention to the fact that the
premise of the argument is entirely
mistake.
This unusual rush of citizens for
road Improvement in fact consists Of
one petition promoted by James T.
Taylor to open road through his
tract at Puiwa, Nuuanu. Absolutely
no other petition for road improve
ment under act 1871, S. L. 1913, has
been filed. This act concerns improv-
irg roads, not opening new roads.
1T might now be said with equal
truth that the board has turned down
every petition for road improvement
that has ever been filed That does
not sound very progressive. But the
tact is that the only petition which has
been filed was not made in conformity
with the clear requirements of the
statute This fact is stated in an Off
cial opinion No. S3, in the county at
torney's department.
One objection is that the petition in
cludes three roads in one assessment
frontage, whereas the statute allows
only one street to be included on
frontage tax. Another objection is
that act III was made to improve
roads already existing. There is no
read in Puiwa called - road It
IS a proposed road. existing on paper
hnly. Further. there were not 60 per

There is a proposition on foot for the
local lodge to cease being Moose, and
taffiliate itself in a body with the Be-
nevolent Order of Deer, a new frater-
nal organization, an organizeT for
\ which is expected here in a few days.
1t is said that the aim of the two or
ders is very similar, and that at least
some of the members favor this ac-
| tim. No member of the lodge could
be, found this morning who would ex-
press himself on this phase of the
matter, most of them holding to the
idea that the lodge can go ahead alb
solutely independent of mainland af-
filiatien, under its charter from the
territory. 49,.
One of the chief matters of dissen-s
sion in this lodge is regarding the ma
tionality of the members. The con-
stitution of the grand lodge specifies
that the members shall be white"
whereas a large number of Hawaiians
and part-Hawaiians are included in the
membership of the local body. A
lodge at Waipahu is said to be COM.
posed nearly entirely of native men,
bers, and the grand lodge representa-
tives, when here, demanded the expul
sion of all who have anything except
Caucasian blood in their veins.
New Lodge Ordered Organized
1t is stated on apparently good au-
thority that District Deputy Brown
last Saturday received a cable from
Grand Dictator Dorm, to the effect
that the local lodge had been dissolv-
ed. and instructing him to proceed to
organize a new lodge of Moose. Mr.
Brown was seen yesterday about the
matter, but declined to discuss it in
any manner at this time
Robert H. Menaugh, chief engineer
of the Rapid Transit company, is
mentioned as having been lately ap-
pointed as official organizer for the
new lodge,
Various members expressed the
opinion this morning that it will not
be possible to form a new lodge Of
Moose here The membership of the
body is between 900 and 100 it is
claimed, and the prediction is made
that it will continue its organization
in some form, without disintegration.
The lodge owns property valued at
several thousand dollars, and is said
to have considerable cash on hans.
Against it is standing some $4,000 \
bonds, held by the members, the pr =
ceeds Of which were used in furnish
ing the present quarters in the ProP
