The organizers of the American

operations in Portland in 1910. under
authority of McHlain Thompson. He
had offices in the North End, where ac
cording to Grand Secretary Robinson,
he pretended to confer three degrees
of Ancient Craft M.isonry on his vic
tims in the short time of 35 minutes,
charging a fee if JM.

money peddling his spurious masonry
he trans fered the business to W. H.
Lindsay for SO)." said secretary Rob-

small twys. He was tried in Judge Mc-1 in Sc.-tland doe
Ginn's court, convicted and parolled.
Then he disappeared and hHS not been
heard of since.
"After Lindsay's disappearance the
busi icss of the American Masonic Fed
eration was transferred to A. J. Court,
G. B M. Sommerville, g H. Haines,
J. A. Wheeler, P. A. Johnson and
other, who are stlil pretending to or
ganize lodge and confer Masonic de
grees on anyone the.' can prevail upon
to put up the money.
"These self-constituted officials, pre
tend to confer any degree of masonry
from the first to the 33d degree, and
mary other degrees not recognized by
legitimate Masons. As long as their
victims have the money, these impost
ors will give them some kind of de
grees and call it rnaonry And of
course if any of the.-e victims come to
any of our lodges we cannot admit
them. They cannot be recognized by
any Masonic lodge in the country.
"There have Itien about 20 victims
of this bocus Masonry in Portland. T.
". Hunt, who recently was admitted
to the bar in this city, ia one of thoin.
He sued the organizers for obtaining
mot.ev under false prutenties. The caw
was triH before Judge Kavanaugh.
The j'jry stood nine to three for con
viction. At a second trial the organiz-re-,
were acquitted. It was shown by
their attorney that no fraud was in
tinJf4, in prouf whereof he pointed to
a sentence in small printing on the
