ALDO TRAM, ARMENDO MASTANTUANO

DETROIT, July 0. - Prosecu-
tor William e. Bowling said to-
day two of four white youths
held by police have told him "a
story of cold-blooded murder" of
a Negro during Detroit race riots
June 81.
Confessions of Aldo TRAM, six
teen, and Armendo Mastantuano,
twenty, Bowling said, accounted
for the Staying of Moses Kiska,
flfty-eight-year-old Negro shot
down as he waited for a street
car at Mack Ave and Chene St.,
June 81.
Police today also held Leo Tip
ton, Negro described by Bowling
as a key figure" in the riots.

praise above his remains, we pay
a tribute to ourselves.
It is common knowledge to the
people of the state of Washington
that fifteen years ago, the Most
Worshipful United Grand Lodge
of the State of Washington was
much like a stately vessel tossed
for many days in thick weather
on heavy seas. That it's then nav

ceptional ability and with pre-
cious eventful and successful voy-

neglected to initiate the prudence
of an experienced mariner, by
taking advantage of the frequent
lulls in the storm glimpses of
the sun, to take his longitude
and right the course of his ship.
Rather he permitted his won
derful ship to drift into danger
Gus storm-swept waters where the
reefs and shoals ever prevalent
IeIt their tell-tale
marks.
The crew, finally awakened to
the gravity of the condition, took
chargeof the situation, righted
the ship and selected Joseph T.
Simms of Yakima to man the
bridge, and for twelve consecu-
tiv years he safely brought to
port the proud and stately ship
Of masonry untarnished and in a
most commendable condition.
Grand Master Simms thus
came to the leadership af mason
ry in the dawn of the reforma-
ton at a time when it stood
in dire need of a Grand Master
Of intelligence, integrity. courage
and honesty. He was the Atlas
on whose shoulders rested its flu

ture destiny. Under his leadership
confidence was restored, morale
improved and the jurisdiction i'm
emdiately began an upward trend
toward a broader and truer con-
ception of life and it's meaning.
After twelve strenuous years of
rebuilding that which had all but
been destroyed, there came the
time when he informed his breth-
rem that his physical condition
would not PRINT him to further
carry on, and during the third
year of his retirement, feeling ex-
ira weary one evening, he laid
down for little rest and using
his burden for his pillow passed
into the sleep of death from
whence no man returns. He de-
parted this life of material things
but the writer belives that no flu
ture Grand Lodge will convene
in this jurisdiction without his
spirit being present. And if the
soul sees after death what pas
ses on this earth and watches
over the welfare of those 1t
loves, his greatest happiness must
consist in seeing the current of
his influence widening out from
age to age, as rivulets widen in
to rivers, aiding and shaping the
destiny of those with whom he
came in contact.
Grand Master Simms was above
all a Christian gentleman, and
in passing left hrs brethren the
solemn pride that can not be ia
ken away from us, to know that
our loss was but heavens gain.
That heaven has only claimed its
own. And as David, speaking OF
the dead Absalon said to his peo-
pie, "Do ye not know a great
man hath fallen in Isreal," I.
Johnson, speaking of Simms, say
unto you. do you not know

for swelling the rioting to pro-
portions where it caused the
death of thirty-four persons.
The Kiska Staying was one
of thirteen riot deaths listed as
unsolved.
Bowling said this was the story
he got from TRAM and Mastan-
tuano:
TRAM and Mastantuano were
out driving and stopped at one
of their favorite hangouts, a pool
room.
They saw the two other
youths, whom they said they
knew as Bob and 'Blackie'. The
four of them got in the car and
decided to go and get us some
niggers.'
"Mastantuano had a rifle. At
Mack and Chene they saw Kiska
waiting in the street car zone.
TRAM said to his companion,

of the car and fired. They saw
Kiska grab his chest and topple
over. They drove away, and then
separated.
