NOTICE TO THE JURISDIC-
TON OF TEXAS OF THE
SEVEN STARS OF CONSOL-
DATION OF AMERICA.

oh yes! Oh yesl Oh yes! Take
heed and govern yourselves accord
lngly. The Board of Directors of
the Seven Stars of Consolidation of
the Jurisdiction Of Texas is hereby
called to meet in Dallas at the
Pythian Temple on March, the 25th,
1922. To the members of the board
of directors act at the time when
the Grand Lodge of the Seven Stars
OF Consolidation of America was
called off in 1915 on account of
the adequate rate system.
The object of this organization is
very much misunderstood, and Of
ten misrepresented; Axen do pre-
JUDGED minds ascribe design to it
that are wholly foreign to its char
ter. We deem it a duty that we
owe to the order of those not mem
bers of IL to remove from the
mind of the uninitiated those dark
imaginations and clouds of preju-
dice, and them to hear us for our
| cause, and to give the matter proper
and thorough investigation.
The objects of this order are en-
bodied in large and liberal charity:
the dissemination of the principles
of true Christian benevolence and
good will; the unity of men in
wide and expanded bands of kind
thoughts and noble and Samaritan
actions.
We appeal to you to hear us for
our cause, and for the peoples sake.
This organization is one that is
legal and Just in the United States.
We practice an instant and increas-
ing inquiry into the condition of
our members, give prompt and need
ed relief to their bodily sufferings,
sympathize with them in their men,
tai Affections.
We watch by the bedside of the
members, maintain he or she who
Is disabled from his or her occupa-
ton, sustain and cheer him or her
in the fearful and distressing hour
of death, and relieve and support
the widow and orphans that are
left in cold and heartless world
without other protection.
We are pledge to the constant
exercise OF the highest virtue, char
ity-as taught US in wisdom.
This Order has tendency to
kindle ana bring into existence all
the and nobler feelings of man
kind. IT improves the heart, exalt
the intellect and increases our love
for morality and virtue.

When the mattresses entered all
clad in their uniforms-white caps,
aprons and dark dresses-all noise
was stopped and the first course
of chicken, green peas, salad and
rolls was passed Each member of
the team said toast and hearty
laugh resounded through the spa
cious hallway of the basement when
coach Fox said that he would
knock on wood after saying that
the team would lose and possibly
he would become as superstitious
as the captain who wore mismatch
strings in his shoes when he won
a game.
The second course, consisting of
cocoa and waters was then brought
on and the merriment continued.
All were astonished when the third
course was brought in an ice cream
foot ball!
Such novelty as had never be-
fore been seen as exhibited, the foot
balls, made from ice cream and in
colors, too!

I feel 1t my duty to reply to Dr. Dillard's remarks in the Age-Herald of the twenty ninth. in which it was stated that much law violation was being practiced and the remark that Things have come to pretty pass in Birmingham when officials to whom Is entrusted the enforcement of the laws are criminals and law breakers themselves"
 After reading these remarks l im- mcdiately summoned Dr. Diilard to my office for conference. He stat ed emphaticaliy that he did not re- fer to Birmingham officers In his sermon. but was speaking generally, and regretted that his remarks had been mlsconstrueu. Tie further states that his investigation dated back to September. or just before the election whereby, l was elected commissioner.
 Since taking my office l have en- deavored to be fair to all-have shown no fsvofites and have made the most careful investigation of all complaints coming to my attention and am proud of the record made during the past few months. The small force of officers In my de partment have made splendid showing in the enforcement of the prohibition laws. 1t Is not the paltry fine that we are after when these law violators are caught. when fined by the recorder, in most cases

Central and Southern Pacific Roads Are Separated by Order of Supreme
 Tribunal
By Associated Prcss

Washington, May 29.-Dissolution of ownership and control of the Cen tral Pacific railway by the Southern Pacific company was ordered today by the supreme court in an opinion delivered by Justice Day. The de- cision in the case, which was the last of the railroad merger suits to be before the court, held that the two lines were competitive. Justice Reynolds and Brandeis. because of their official connections prior to go- ing upon the bench, did not partici- pate. Justice McKenna delivered a short dissent.
 The court directed that a decree he entered severing the control by ths Southern Pacific of the Central Pa cific by stock ownership or by lease. but in accomplishing that end, so far as compatible. said the mortgage lien of the Union Trust company of New York should be protected.

 Young Cohen died shortly before midnight.
 The accident occurred while the streets were crowded with spectators who had been viewing "The Romance of the Rose" street pageant held in connection with the Progress and Prosperity week celebration.

HOUSE COMMITTEE AWAITING REPLY
 MFORD AGENT
Members Doubtful If Ford Will Agree to Amendments in Bid-Kahn Leaves
 Thursday
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau. The Age-Herald. :. b00 Daxidson Buildinr.

Washington, May 29,-(Special.)- w. B. Mayo, agent of Henry Ford, from Detroit. today telegraphed the House committee on military affairs that it would be impossible for him to return to Washington before We'd nesday or Thursday.
 Mir. Mayo went to Detroit to secure from MT. Ford his final answer re- specting the counter proposal of the committee respecting disposition of Muscle Shoals. As reported by this bureau Friday, the committee amended the original Ford offer by eliminating the three million dollar Gorgas steam plant and by the in- corporation of a provision requiring the successful bidder to produce & finished fertilizer in commercial quantities during life of the hun dred year lease whether at loss or profit.
 1t is not known whether MT. Ford will agree to such amendments or not. The members of the commit tee are in doubt. At any rate the the committee adjourned until such time as he might appear. Chairman Julius Kahn announced. however, that the delay of the return of Mayo would not cause him to change his plan to leave for California Thurs day.
 The committee spent an hour dis cussing leaks" from the committee which made 1t possible for this bureau last week to secure infor- nation from executive sessions prac- tically as quickly as it developed. It was contended by some members that the reports were too accurate to per- init of an idea that they were based on deductions. Other members were fearful that publication of the fact that Gorgas had been eliminated would prompt MT. Ford to announce his withdrawal from the field prior to the arrival of Mayo, who is regarded as the man able to pursuade MT. Ford to accept the changes, but as MT. Ford has made no such announce ment, their fears did not materialize This feature of the meeting was in teresting but not important.
