THE APPEAL IS.
CALLED A DOWN
THE TRUE STATUS OF THE
ORDER OF THEEASTERNSTAR
Kansas City, Mo-, March '21, 1922.
400 East Armour Blvd.

To THE APPEAL, St. Paul, Mimi:
Owing to an untruthful and mis-
leading article which appeared in a
recent edition of your paper, con-
corning the United Grand Chapter,
O. E. S., Missouri and it's jurisdiction,
[ beg to make the following statement
in correction, and set forth the facts
concerning the same.
The United Grand Chapter, Order
of the Eastern Star, Missouri and its
Jurisdiction, had it's incipiency in the
city of St. Louis, Mo-, being organ
lied in December, 1890, by o. M. Wood
Of that city, with five chapters COM
posed of members regularly Identified
from the Ohio jurisdiction. Missouri
having been open territory up to this
time, there was operating in the state
chapters Of the Order of the Eastern
Star under man by the name of A.
W. Walker. The Grand Chapter Or
ganized in St. Louis was called the
Masonic Grand Chapter. The chap
tiers under Walker organized Grand
Chapter also and became known as
the Royal Grand Chapter, and later
were more commonly sailed "the WAL
ker faction"
There was friction between these
two Grand Chapters as to which was
the legal organization. The dispute
reached such an acute stage that in
1896 at the Annual Communication of
the Grand Lodge, A. F. & A. M,
Grand Master Pelham called the at
tention of the Masons to the condi-
ton in his annual address. The Grand
Lodge decided that the Grand Chapter
organized by Wood was the legal
Grand Chapter, and requested that all
Masons who affiliated with the Order
OF the Eastern Star, should work in
chapters of the Masonic Grand Chap
ter: This did not stop the difficulty
and in the Annual Communication Of
the Grand Lodge in 1897, Grand Mas
ter Pelham: again directed the atten-
ton of the Grand Lodge to the mat
ter. In doing so Mr.. Pelham made it
quite plain that it was not the pur-
pose of the Grand Master to attempt
to extend the jurisdiction of the
Grand Lodge, but that the dissention
was creating so much strife that
something should be done to stop it.
Therefore on page 80 of the printed
P.oSSSNAAASo VI CIlc NIduU LOuSG, "A.
F. & A. NJ, 1897, the following resolu-
ton is found:
o. E. S. Resolution Adopted
Whereas, the Grand Lodge, State
Of Missouri and Jurisdiction, at it's
Annual Communication held in Oma-
ha, Nebraska, decided in it's wise judg-
ment that the o. E. S. organized by
O. NJ. Wood is the regularly organ
lied body Of this state.
l.. Resolved, That this order be en-
forced to it's fullest limit and any
Master Mason who will affiliate with
any other faction shall be guilty of
un-Masonic conduct and shall be sum-
moned to trial for the same.
Be it further Resolved, That Mas
ters and Wardens of all subordinate
lodges Of the jurisdiction are enioined
to see to it that this edict is faithfully
observed.
