SOLDIERS WARNED
BY MASONIC HEADS
Scottish Rite Not Affiliated
With Cerneau Body-Grand
Jury Investigating.

Off'cials OF the Ancient and Accepted
the Masonic Hall~that any American
soldier wishing to Join the Cerneau body
of Freemasons was within his right In
doing so. but added Il at he would be
unwise to become affiliated with that
organization under the impression that
1t was recognized by regular members
OF the order.
The Cerneau body. which was the re-
suit of Masonic dissension many years
ago. was the subject yesterday of tele-
graphic inquiry by Capt. Donohue. L. S.
A.. at Camp Gettysburg. Pa. who sent a
message to Robert ]. Kenworthy, secre-
tary of the Grand Lodge Of New York,
inquiring about the standing of the Ger
neau body,
Large numbers OF soldiers on their
way to New York were said to have re-
ceived offers of membersf Up at reduced
rates, the degrees to be conferred on a
class Of several hundred upon their ar
rival in the city to-day. Mr. Kenworthy
at once got In touch with John Lloyd
Thomas, a member Of tie Supreme Coun-
Gil and former Commander in Chief, and
wire was sent to Capt. Donohue ad-
vising him to inform his men that the
Cerneau brand OF Masonry was not
recognized by the regular Scottish Rite.
I'm some jurisdictions, said Mr.. Ken
WORTHY, membership In Cerneau body

all other bodies, 1t seems too bad for
these soldiers 10 Join under any mis-
apprehension OF the facts"
Walter W. Griffith, Commander In
Chief OF the Scottish Rite for the Valley
of New York. said:
'Tl ere Ia but one legitimate body OF
the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite
in Manhattan, and 1t meets in the Ma
sonic Hall No meeting OF this body Is
now beng held This IL the only organi-
zation recognized by the Scottish Rite
/ Masons of France or by tie Mystic
Shrine of the United States or any
other legitimate body with Masonic at
filistions"
Mr.. Kenworthy said reports had
reached the Masonic Hall and the Dis
trict Attorneys Office that spurious Ma
comic lodges were comforting alleged de-
grees upon soldiers and accepting their
money. AS a result lie said that he and
Mr.. Thomas had gone before the Grand
Jury and had told what they knew of
the matter. There was he said. n posi-
bility of indictments being presented.

officials who were appealed to by cot

fight on among themselves. with each

The entire question OF Government
control OF raw cotton as well as of cot
ton products or price fixing all down
the line from raw cotton to all finished
manufactures was laid before the Presi-
dent by Chairman Lever of the House
Committee on Agriculture at a long
conference at the White House to-day.
The President was deeply interested IN
the situation, which threatened to become
national issue. Mr.. Lever went over
all it's phases with him. but so far as
could be learned recommended no def

TWO HOBOKEN FERR XBOATS .
ARE TO BE AMERICANLZED
Hamburg and Bremen Will Become the Chatham ant
Mapewood as Soon as Commissioner of
Navigation Consents to Change.

Until recently a traveller stranded on
Hobokens waterfront experienced some
difficulty in reaching his destination and
usually wound up by asking his way to
the American Consulate.
All that Is changed now. however. for
while Gen. Pershing and his British and
French colleagues have been pounding
away at the German line in France
Richard Buckley. chairman OF the Ho-
boken branch of the American Defence
Society. has been waging a brave night
against German nomenclature at home
and has succeeded in removing many
of the Teutonic blemishes from the other
Wise patriotic complexion 6f .the mile
square city.
To begin with. Mr.. Buckley-"Indomi-
table Dick as he Is known to his fell
low townsmen-induced all the German
dentists In Hoboken to paint out the
word "zahnartzt" on their signs and to
substitute therefor the plain English
equivalent. Then he transformed the
various "barbierstubes into regular
American barber shops or tonsorial par
Tors and with another wave of the pat
riotic wand changed the name of the
the American House.
"Wurstgeschaft" Amertcanixed.
Next the Hofbrau House and other
German hostelries within stones
throw OF the transport piers on River
street yielded to the pressure brought to
bear by Mr.. Buckley and changed their
names. Then IndomItable Dick paid a
flying visit to the proprietor Of the
"Wurstgeschaft" on Washington street
and persuaded the latter to reclassify
products.
Having done all this to eradicate the
erroneous impression that Hoboken was
an extension OF wilhelmstrasse or a
misplaced segment OF Germany Mr..
Buckley suddenly came face to face with
the painful realization that hundreds of
patriotic Hobokenites we're travelling to
and from their places OF business In
Manhattan on two Lackawanna ferry
boats called the Hamburg and the
Bremen.
For second Mr-Buckley was stunned
by the discovery. Then he gritted his
teeth. slammed down the roll top OF his
desk in the Water Registrars Office and
hastily called together his little band
OF serious minded patriots, who drew I'D
petition calling upon the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Ferry Com
pany to rechristen the two boats.
The ferry company officials were only
too willing to comply with this request,
but encountered few legal obstacles

again Thursday night and adopted the
following resolutions:
Whereas the Hoboken branch Of the
American Defence Society has on many
previous occasions called the attention
OF the officials OF the Delaware. Lacka-
wanna and Western Ferry Company to
the fact that two Of their vessels, the
Bremen and the Hamburg. bear German
names;
Whereas the said company has had
ample time to take whatever legal steps
that might have been required to bring
about the change; therefore be 1t
"Resolved. That the Hoboken branch
Of the American Defence Society at
regular session held Thursday, July is,
1913. at the City Hall, Hoboken. hereby
records Its belief that the officials OF
the said Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western Ferry Company have appar-
emily no intention OF taking any steps
to prove their patriotism to the people
OF this community; and be 1t further
RESOLVED. That a delegation OF Ave
members Of this organization wait upon
the officials of the company and obtain
from them direct negative or affima-
tive answer to the request that the Ger
man names on the Hamburg and
Bremen be forthwith removed"
New Name Plates Painted.
A delegation Of FIVE, headed by Judg,
Raymond J. Tiffany, was duly APP
pointed to demonstrate with the ferry
officials and steps we're takeni to ar
range for a conference with Capt. John
r. Emery. superintendent OF the Lack
awannas marine division. Capt. Emery
informed the delegation over the tele-
phone yesterday that It need not waste
Its time coming around to his office. In
asmuch as the company already had de-
termined upon remaining the two sedi-
tious ferryboats the Chatham and the
Maplewood. The new name plates. he
said. had been painted and would be
attached to the pilot houses Of the ferry
boats as soon as the Commissioner OF
Navigation at Washington had given
his consent.
THE company" said Capt Emery
us anxious to meet the wishes Of the
patriotic public, but we have got to re-
ceive the consent OF the Commissioner
OF Navigation. Without that We will
not be able to do anything
And So" said MFR. Buckley in con-
Guiding a summary OF the case In his
office in the Hoboken City Hall yester-
day. the 100 per cent. Americans who
ride on the boats will have to stifie their
outraged feelings until next Tuesday
when definite word Is to be received
from Washington"

ARMY HATS SHODDY;
JAIL FOR OFFICIALS
Inspectors Passed Poor Grade
of Felt.

Peter j. Duffy and Arthur c. ellison,
hat inspectors in the army Qusrtermas-
ter Department. were sentenced to serve
terms Of eighteen months in Atlanta
penitentiary yesterday, by Judge Martin
T. Manton in the Federal District Court,
They were convicted OF neglect in per-
hitting inferior fur felt to be used In
the manufacture Of soldiers hats.
The Peekskill Hat Manufacturing
Company and the II. ID. Parmalee Com
pany OF Newark were fined $500 each
by Judge Manton. after pleas of guilty
to collecting the contract price for infe-
rior hats, had been entered for them.
The fines were paid.
The two companies received contracts
for 100000 hats. 1t was an emer
gency order, and the testimony showed
that an Inferior grade OF fur felt was
substituted after the grade demanded
by the contract had been exhausted.
The substitution was ordered by John
J, slattery. superintendent Of both facto-
ries. He was indicted with Duffy and
ellison. but died in January.
