it's Secretary, John R. Shillady, makes
public telegram sent yesterday to
Governor w. P. Hobby of Texas, pro.
testing against the lynching of Mrs
Sarah Cabiness and her five sons al
Huntsville, Texas, and the fata
wounding of her daughter, on June
as the result of an alteration be-
tween a white man and George Cabi-
ness. Mr.. Shillady calls the attention
of the Governor to the fact that six.
teen Negroes have been lynched in
the state of Texas alone since Amer
lea entered the war, and pointedly
asks the Governor concerning his ac,
ton in bringing to justice the mur-
derers of the six Negroes. At time
when 49, 900 Negroes are offering
their lives for the preservation of the
ideals of democracy, the Association
wishes to know if the Negroes OF
Texas are to be given their share OF
the democracy for which they are
fighting.

NOTICE, MAsoNs!

In keeping with the policy of Con-
servation and to serve the best in
terests of the fraternity Most Wor-
shipful Grand Master w. w. Fields
of the Missouri Jurisdiction of Masons
has called off the Grand Lodge Ses-
sion that was to have been held in
Omaha until such date in 1919 as he
thinks advisable. The opinion among
the fraternity is that Grand Master
has acted wisely and well which means
a saving to the fraternity on railroad
fares, expenses and so forth of more
than $4,000. We suggest that every
lodge use the money they were going
to spend for delegates expenses to
square themselves with the Relief and
Burial Departments and buying Lib
erty Bonds.
