Mr. Soumervillb Replies With
regard to an article in The Oregonian
last Sunday denouncing certain per
sons who are said by Secretary Robin
son, of the grand lodge of Masons of
Oregon, to be selling degrees in a
bogus Masonry entitled the American
Masonic Federation, a letter has been
received by The Oregonian from G. B.
M. Sommervllle, of this city. In which
he asserts that he is acting under
authority of an act of the Louisiana
Legislature and incloses what he states
to be a copy of the act , Mr. Som
mervllle says, among other things:
'"The American Masonic Federation was
founded from authority given unto it
by the Supreme Council of the State of
Ijouisiana, the oldest body practicing
the Ancient and A-ccepted Scottish Kite
in the United States, which was incor
porated by an act of the Legislature of
that state in the year of 1870. The
charges that the members will not be
recognized by the A. F. and A. Masons
can readily be repudiated by the fact
that we exchange representatives with
the grand councils and grand orients of
Great Britain, France, Spain, Portu
gal, Italy, Germany, Turkey, Argen
tina, Roumania, Cuba, Brazil, Mexico
and Russia, and will be represented by
our presiding general at the Masonic
International Congress held at I-lsbon
in the month of October, 1914."
Slum Ordinance to Be Printed. In
order that the public may become
familiar with the provisions of the

prepared by the building code revision
committee and others, the suggested
ordinance prescribes the amount of
space which must exist between build
ings used for apartments or rooming
houses, the amount of light which must
be admitted to all such buildings and
the methods of ventilation. It is
paterned after measures in force In
some of the Eastern cities.
Bridge) Repairs to Cost $10,000.
After a careful investigation City Com
missioner Dieck yesterday notilied the
City Council that an appropriation of
$10,000 probably will be necessary to

Marquam Gulch in South Portland
which has been closed to traffic be
cause of its dangerous condition.
Providing money for the repairs has
been referred to Commissioner Blge
low. Residents of South Portland are
demanding that the city hurry the
repairs bo the bridge can be reopened.

4 GUARDS YAWN LAZILY
FRIARS' CLUB IS LIKES A TOMB
UNDER MARTIAL LAW.
Chicken Coops, Full of Chickens, Var
nish Only Nolaea and Promise
Plenty to Eat.
Four armed National Guardsmen and
the Friars' Club cook, waiter and
steward, all apparently having diffi
culty in passing the time, were the
only signs of life yesterday at the club
house at Milwaukie, which was placed
under martial law Tuesday by order of
Governor West. The occasional visitor
was missing and even the usual sweep
ers and other employes and boarders
failed to put in an appearance. The
place is virtually out of business.
Captain Moshberger, in charge of the
Guardsmen, says he does not know how
long his men will remain, no orders
having been received from Governor
West. He says he can see no reason
for guarding the club, as no one ap
parently has any desire to go there
under the conditions. Except for a
couple of automobile parties that rolled
up Tuesday night, he says he has seen
no one who has had any. apparent de
sire to get into the clubhouse, aside
from the employes who have been al
lowed to come and go at will.
The Guardsmen received blanket Tolls
yesterday morning and spent a few
hours sleeping, after which they re
sumed their duties. The clubhouse
cook has prepared their meals and they
have fared well. The kitchen was well
stocked with food at the time martial
law became effective and a chicken
coop, full of chickens, belonging to the
club, is only a few steps from the
kitchen.
AMENDED OOMPIAIXT IS SENT
Attorney - General Alleges Friar
Charter Secured by Vraud.
SALEM, Or.. May 6. (Special.) Al
leging that the organization obtained
Its articles of incorporation through
fraud, Attorney-General Crawford to
day forwarded to District Attorney
Hedges, of Clackamas County, an
amended complaint in the proceedings
to revoke the charter of the Friars'
Club, in Milwaukie, which was closed
Tuesday by State Militia, by order of
Governor West.
A demurrer to the original complaint
was sustained by Circuit Judge Eakin
because it failed to give the names of
the incorporators, B. Barish, E. Hollo
way and W. Wilbur.
The articles of incorporation give
the purposes of the club as the en
couragement of acquatic exercise and
literary and other irjental development.
It is charged in the amended complaint
that the real object of the incorpora
tors was to use It as a place to sell
intoxicating liquors and that the law
has been -.violated.
APPEAL MADE FOR LINE
Business Interests Asked to Support
Alaskan Service.
A further earnest appeal was made
by the Chamber of Commerce yester
day in an effort to complete the $50,000
of preferred stock , for the Alaska
steamship line.
The appeal is directed not only to
the business Interests of the city but
to other persons owning property as
well. It is pointed out that the welfare
of the entire city will be enhanced by
the success of the new line to Alaska
and that it is Incumbent upon the
people of Portland to maintain the
service.
