Oct 26. The special extraordinary session of the Grand Lodge, Knight of PythUi, called to meet In tins city with Damon Lodge by (Supreme chancellor S. W. ereea of New Orleans, convened on time last Monday and made history In record time. A quorum of lodges being present the Supreme Chancellor who called the meeting to order and who "resided, went into the affairs In this jurisdiction, setting forth with remarkable clarity the law upon all the points lnvolred, and declarlac that after the Runnm AttorneT and the Supreme Committee on Law and supervision naa carefully gone over the papers in the case, there waa no other step for him but the step be took In calling the Grand Lodge in session to vindicate the law and put tlje jurisdiction on a solid foundation.

He said that Sir R. C. Simmons bad never had any semblance of a trial, it any bad ever been necessary, and that no special "sessions" called In New York were properly called or were In any wise legal. He pointed out that even according to the conflicting laws of the Grand Lodge Of New Tork nothlnc had been done In an orderly way. When the Grand Lodge vot- ea to aisregaro the mandates of the supreme Lodge, speaking through Its official head, It violated the basic rule of tbe fraternity.

He made It very plain that he did not come to vindicate B. C. Simmons (as bis enemies had dono that), but to carry out the laws of the Supreme Lodge which are over and govern tbe subordinate lodges. The major officers being absent, the stations were filled by appointment as follows: R. C.

The Supreme Chancellor showed the Grand Lodge how step by step certain officials bad trampled all law and order nnder foot and said that speaking for the supreme Jurisdiction, he would rather see the disobedient go their way than to have them remain and dlntnrh iwm and harmony of the jurisdiction. He said mat tne orner would prosper In New York when New York had leaders st the front According to the Supreme Chancellor the Grand Lodge of New York has no constitution, because tbe written work, in addition to conflicting With the Rnnreme statutes at almost every point, has property approTPa. toe amendments thereto, according to law. The Grand Lodge moved to arinnt constitution of Louisiana In so far as It could apply as the law of New York until the Committee on Constitution reports. The Grand Chancellor was empowered to appoint a committee of five on constitution.

Syracuse, Oct 28. The resignation from the trustee board of the A. M. E. Church of Its president and class leader within the church for many years and of James W.

Shell, secretary of the board, came as a surprise to the pud lie here, but not to those familiar with the lack of method and system In the transaction of the church affairs since the Rev. Eleven S. Bailey assumed charge of the church. Mr. Lewis, the oldest member of the board in point of service', has been for over thirty-two years a trustee and has acceptably filled the office of president of the board for the greater part of that time.

The cause of all the trouble appears to spring from the persistent effort of the pastor to usurp the rightful functions and duties of the board or trustees. Rather than be "dummy directors" In the business affairs, the president and secretary have resigned. That thla the oldest Negro church here, whose membership has been steadily decreas ing for years until at present It Is the smallest of any of the three churches should have dissensions arise at thlb time Is the cause of regret on the pari of many. On Sunday, October 16, the cornerstone of their new church was laid and if It Is completed all feel that peace and harmony must be had The annual fair of the Bethany Bap tist Church Is attracting unusual at tention because of the elaborate plans which have been made to make It a srreat success.

TURN8 DOWN CAPER8. President Taft Not in 8ympafhy With Hia "Lily White" Movement in South Carolina. aooctal ts Isi Nsw Yeaa Asa Washington, October 25. Efforts to break up the "solid South" In the Interest of the Republican party have been called to a halt, temporarily at least by President Taft Capt John Capers, Republican national committeeman, of South Carolina, had planned to hold a Republican convention In that State on October 26 to organise a new move ment for Republicanism. It had been intended to hold similar conventions in other Southern States.

Coming Just prior to the elections, the proposed Republican convention stirred the Negro voters who considered It a movement toward forming a close corporation of the Republican whites. The President name was being used with the intimation that he approved the plan, and this was causing consid erable trouble. As the President had not until recently heard of the plan, he wanted more time to consider It, so, on his recommendation to Capt Capers, It was decided yesterday to indefinitely postpone action.
