Money Scarce, No
Symphony Concerts

All central Ohio was interested in
the announcement that Columbus
civic leaders and lovers of good mus
ie had arranged for a week of the
Chicago Symphony orchestra at the
O. S. L. football stadium at popular
prices, 25 cents.
Now comes the report that it has
been impossible to sell 5000 season
tickets to guarantee the weeks pro-
gram. 1t was a big venture to bring
rs high class musicians to the Capt.
tai city for week.
Conditions in the city regardless of
the fact that several thousand salar-
led state, city and county officials
reside there and have not felt the
depression to the extent laboring and
professional classes have, would
make it impossible to put on this at
traction.

HISTORY COMPILED I

George w. Clark, secretary of the
London Masonic bodies for many
years, compiled the following history
of Masonry in London for safekeep-
ing in the metal casket placed in the
corner stone Of the new Masonic tenn
pie at the ceremony here Sunday:
Sunday, July 10, 1892, witnessed
the official beginning of an ideal that
has occupied the attention Of local
Free Masons for almost 80 years.
Elderly members of the craft as
sert that their fathers often spoke Of
the desire for the possession of a
home" of their own that had been a
matter of speculation from the time
when in 1876, the local Chandler
Lodge of Masons was organized and
sent upon its mission. But the mat
ter was never more than an ideal un-
til very recent days. The years came
and went and the lodge was still re-
quired to mentally occupy an impos-
ing mansion of its own, sort of
mansion in the sky, in reality, it
lived in mansions Of which it didn't
aold even a tax title. 1t walked the
.arth a renter Of other peoples prop
erty.
This lack of ownership, however,
vas not without its advantages, for
when, in 1854 and 1929, fire de-
itroyed its personal property, it could
lot destroy its mansion, because it
idn't own mansion or any other
lind Of dwelling The lodge simply
moved its location to another rented
1lace.
But misfortune and disaster had
aught it economy-it saved its funds
and when, in a period of universal
depression, it became apparent that
Is ideal and it's hope and faith mign
ie translated into substance, it began
pull its mansion from the sky and
locate it upon the earth.
A half dozen energetic members Of
he lodge were appointed to look aft
r a location to seek additional
unds, to secure. competition artisans
nd to do countless things necessary
or such on undertaking.
Result-The residence property of
}. w. Corner, of Main and Fifth
treets was purchased as a location;
goodly portion of the residence
here was removed; a large exeava-
ION was dug for easements; founda-
ions built and walls erected.
On Sunday at 2:30 p. m. the Grand
.odge f. & A, NJ, of Ohio, convened
t the Masonic lodge over the Lon
on Exchange bank, and soon there
fter entered the ranks Of a process
ion that ended at the new temple
tie where the impressive ceremonies
laying the corner stone and dedi-
ating the structure to its uses were
performed.

STATE "GOES
EASY" ON
ALLEN
Death Penalty Plea Avoided,
Jurors Must Determine
Degree of Crime

NORRISTOWN, Pa, Feb. 6
Q.N.S.). - Summing up the
commonwealth s case against
Edward H. B. Allen, charged
with the murder of his sisters
fiance, Francis A. Donaldson,
jr., District Attorney Stewart
Nase today exhorted the jury
to be fair to themselves and to
the defendant in bringing in
their verdict.
Nase did not demand the death
penalty. The prosecutors plea,
on the heels of an impassioned
plea by the defense "to send Ed
die home to his old father"
strengthened the hopes of the
defendants friends and relatives
that he would be acquitted. Said
NaSe:
'Tt is for you to say Of what
he shall be found guilty. We
know that what he did was a
criminal Offense-itS degree is
up to yOu."
Points Out Threats
Speaking deliberately, slowly
with all the earnestness of a
young prosecutor whose first test
by fire this trial has been, Nase
outlined his case. He emphasized
that Edward had threatened to
blow off DonaldSon'S head if the
man his sister loved came again
to the Allen apartment.
In conclusion he said:
Edward Allen may go home
some day to his dad-but
Francis Donaldson is gone for
eternity"
Blame for the death of Donald
son was placed upon the tongue OF
Albert Gallatin H. Lucas, Donald
sons pal, and the fists of the dead
man.
These two things killed Roses
fiance, Fletcher w. Sites, defense
attorney, told the jury of two
women and ten men.
Quick With Fists
For if Lucas had not been a
'meddler" and Donaldson quick
with his fists" Eddie would not
have taken the violent extremes
he did take to get the intruders
out of his home. the defense
summation contended.
Allen should know by night
whether or not the jury thinks
he is a liar and murderer.
For if the young horseman told
the truth to the jury then he
must be set free.
His story, told yesterday from
the witness stand in the simple
language of a frankly frightened
boy, was that he was so terrified
the arrogant Donaldson would kill
him that he fired blindly. He
did not mean to kill. He wanted
to save his own skin, that was
all.
