The situation between the Su-
preme Lodge Knights of Pythias,
N. A., S. A, E. A, A. and "A, and
the Grand Lodge of North Carolina
is anomalous. Under the old con-
stitution the Supreme Lodge could
levy taxes only on the Grand Lodge.
The Grand Lodge had exclusive,
original jurisdiction on the sub
ordinate lodges and the members
thereof and could levy taxes on
them. The Supreme Lodge could
not do this. Then came fight in
the Supreme Lodge. After many
years contention the constitution
Lodge proceeded to levy taxes on
was changed and the Supreme
the subordinate lodge members. This
abolished States rights.
Had State Charters
However, certain States had OBJ
tanned State charters, were incor-
porated and existed as independent
units and could maintain themselves
regardless of the Supreme Lodge.
Moreover they had insurance de-
partments which were subject to the
insurance department of their re-
pective States. The States saw to it
that enough money was left and as
sets maintained to protect the
policy-holders Of those States.
Richmond planet., 1929-11-23

These funds and assets were not
permitted. to be disturbed or en-
dangered by any action of any out
side power or authority, and this is
the point at issue between Supreme
Chancellor Green and the Commits
sioner of Insurance of the State of
North Carolina.
There is a general fund tax which
can be used for any expenses, but
this has been exhausted, expended,
used up for salaries and running ex-
penses and the Grand Lodge of
North Carolina is in debt. A note
given would cover all of the assets
owned by North Carolina, including
the personal belongings of the Of
fcers, the assets of the endowment
department and it is to this the
Commissioner of Insurance of North
Carolina objects. He has already
notified the Grand Lodge of North
Carolina that it's funds in payment
of death claims have been over
drawn and special taxes have been
levied to meet the deficiency.

Action Not Surprising
In view of these facts, the actions
of the Grand Lodge and the Grand
Chancellor of Ohio and the Grand
Lodge and the Commissioner of In
surance of North Carolina are not
surprising. The Grand Lodge of
Virginia is hopeless in errears, the
sum aggregating $4,000 is out
against them for back taxes, with a
depleted membership, two Grand
Chancellors dead and the present
one a new conner.

TEXANS LYNCH BANDIT AFTER
STORMING JAIL
Rope Breaks on The First Attempt
to Hang Man Who Injured
Deputy


Gus over his attempted Jail break
yesterday in which he dangerously
wounded Deputy Sheriff Tom Jones,
a mob of 200 men tonight lynched
Marshall ,Ratlihf, "Santa Claus ban
dit" of the Cisco Bank robbery in
1927.
Ratliff was hanged from tele-
phone pole cable after the jailer had
been captured and his keys taken.
The bandits body was strung up by
new grass rope, as nearly 1000
people looked on.
Was Naked
Ratliff was naked when the mob
took him from the Jail.
On the first attempt to hang Rat
lift, who was here pending sanity
hearing which had delayed tempor-
arily his death in the electric chair,
the rope broke, and the mob waited
for about fifteen minutes while a
new grass rope was obtained. The
rope was put around his neck and a
score or more men hauled against
it.
Given Chance To Talk
Someone in the crowd yelled:
Maybe he wants to talk" the hang
men eased their pressure and Ratliff
was lowered to the ground second
time.
"Do you want to talk?" they
asked him.
eyes," the doomed man gasped,
pulling the rope free. "Pve got
something l want to say"
Again they waited, while Ratliff
stood looking into the faces about
him. He mumbled something, unin-
telligible.
"Hell," someone shouted, che
doesn't want to talk. String him
up, and make a good job of it this
time"
The words "string him up"
echoed from a hundred men and
again the hangmen bent their
weight to the stout rope. This time
he was left dangling in the air until
dead.
1000 Around Jail
About a thousand people gathered
around the Jail tonight, but the
lynching party consisted of only
about $50 or 200 men. The leaders
slipped into a side door of the Jail,
and attempted to get authorities to
give them the bandit.
When refused the men over
powered Jailer Gilbert and took his
keys. Then they made their way
upstairs to Ratliff's cell.
1t was not ascertained immediate
ly whether Ratliff had removed his
clothes, or whether they were torn
from him. He was dragged down
the stairs and down the street about
200 yards, to the business section
Of Eastland.
The plan had at first been to
take him to the public square, but
the crowd, apparently impatient, de-
cided to stop 1T the cable. as it ap-
peared strong eiaongh to hold the
