Especial Correspondence


Washington, ID. c., April 9-Some-
today in the Supreme Court of the Dis
Siddons asked Attorney Henry E..
Davis, chief counsel for the Supreme
Lodge, knights of Pytnias, n. A., 5.
A, E., a. and A. the pointed questIdn
If the Supreme Lodge was enforcing
the collection of the Emergency tax and
if the charter of the Grand Lodge
Knights of Pythias of Virginia was re
vokcd Mt Topeka, Kansas August 1921
for that reason. The distinguished at.
torney evaded the answer for some
time and began a discussion OF the
case, when Attorney Clarence r. Will
son chief counsel for the Grand Lodge
of Virginia reminded him that he had
not answered his Honor's question.
READING INTO THE RECORD
1t was then that he replied that the
charter had not been revoked for the
non-paym ent of the taxes aforesaid. IL
was after this that Mr.. Wilson called
the attention of the Court to the fact
that the charter was revoked at the
Baltimore session of the Supreme
Lodge in 1913 for the non-payment OF
taxes. The charter was revoked at Co.
lumbus Ohio for the nonrpayment OF
taxes. The charter was attempted to be
revoked at Atlantic City, N. j., session
for the nOn-payment of these taxes.
The charter was revoked at Topeka
Kansas for the non-payment of these
taxes. He then produced and insisted
upon having read into the record let.

of these taxes as prerequisite to re-
instltement in the Order and he also

that In view Of statements made, "he

Chief Justice Mccoy had decided that
the taxes levied by the Supreme Lodge
were unconstitutional and IL was not
for him to review or pass upon the
action Of his colleague. The counsel
for the Supreme Lodge had disavowed
any intention to revoke the charter
for these taxes. 1t would be necessary
for him to proceed further in the case
