Estis, non-residents of Ohio, under indictment for the theft of an automobile, will open here Monday morning in common pleas court, before Judge O. W. Mannix of Greenville, and the new petit jury for the October term of court, which has been summoned to report Monday for duty. . t- n Tho case against Mills and Estis will be prosecuted by County Prosecutor Phil Saylor, assisted by Attorney H. R. Gilmore. Attorney Byron H. Tivenen, of Indianapolis, and Harry L. Rlsinger, local attorney, will d fend the accused. For the alleged theft of an automobile from the garage of S. C. Richie, banker, of New Paris. Mills and Estis were indicted here in May, 1919. following their arrest and recovery of the car in Indianapolis.

Frank and Walter O'Dell, charged with burglary ana larceny, win gu .n trial isinv 8, Pearl Murray, charg ed with abandonment of legitimate children, will be tried Nov. . Judge Issues Injunction. Perpetual injunction against the trustees of Lanier township, establishing and maintaining a certain road in LanieT township has been granted by Judge A. C. Risinger, in common pleas court, upon petition of :Henry W. Meyer, who previously had

obtained a temporary mjuncuou against the trustees. Meyer's contention was based upon a deed executed by the heirs of the late Alfred Johnson. A deed executed by Abraham Halterman to Catherine Oale to land involved in the proposed foadway gave the latter a life estate in the land, Meyer contended, and any deed given by her to Johnson was an easement over the land involved during her natural life. She is now deceased. The court sustained Meyer's contention in overruling a demurrer filed by the trustees and the temporary injunction was made permanent. Meyer also averred that no petition for the establishment of the road had ever been filed with the board. He alleged he had demanded Count y Prosecutor Phil Saylor, in writing, to enjoin the trustees, but that he refused to bring action. Files Cross Complaint. Ada Fowler has filed in common pleas court an answer and cross petition to a divorce petition filed by her husband, Martin E. Fowler, in which the denies that she ran away with Stephen Bloom about eight years ago, or that she is guilty of other charges set forth by her husband. She admits she was married to Fowler 19 years ago, in Sevenmile, Ohio. In her cross petition Mrs. Fowler recites - alleged acts of cruelty and gross neglect upon her husband's pari and asks that she be given the decree and bo restored to her maiden name of Dunnihoo. She also asks for attorney's fees, temporary alimony, and a share of her husband's real estate and chattels, which she avers wer? acquired by their joint efforts. Dismiss Divorce Suit. Upon receipt o! a certified copy of a divorce decree granted in the county courts in Dayton, a divorce suit brought here two or three years ago in common pleas court has been stricken from the docket. The suit dismissed here was that of Chloris O'Dell against Robert O'Dell, in which she sought divorce, alimony and custody of child. The record from the Dayton courts set forth that the couple became reconciled and lived together in Dayton after the suit was brought here, but that later they again separated and were divorced.

FEATHERS ADORN General Tall feathers and plumes add a picturesque touch to tl.e new uniforms adopted by the Hungar MASTERS OF (Continued from Page One) States, and indeed, Europe as well, as he was one of the two representatives sent by the fraternity to make a survey or' the war-torn countries of Europe and to recommend what disposal should be made of the thousands of dollars which had been raised among the members of Masonic lodges of the country. He will tell some of the things he found there with rela tion to Masonery. Mr. Newby has given a lecture on this trip in many parts of the country, but will only hit the high places in his talk here. History of Webb Lodge. The following is a history of the lodge prepared by John L. Rupe: Webb Lodge. No. 24, F. & A. M.. was first chartered by the Grand Lodge of Indiana, October 7, 1823. It appears from Grand Lodge proceedings, that a lodge had existed under dispensation under name of Wayne Lodge, No. 24, holding its meetings at equal periods at Centerville and Richmond. In October, 1823, a charter was granted by the Grand Lodge of Indiana 1o Wayne Lodge, but to be thereafter known as Webb Lodge, No. 24; William Pugh, a resident of Centerville, being designated as its first Master, James R. Mendenhall as Senior Warden, and William H. Vaughau as Junior Warden. Bartholomew Mo Cleary being received and acknowledged as tho representative of that lodge at the session of the Grand Lodge of 1823. James R. MendenhaH and William H. Vaughan were prominent citizens of Richmond at hat time, Brother Mendenhall being one of the leading physicians of Richmond and Wayne County for many years later and until the time of his death History of Name Uncertain. There is no known authentic history of masonry of that early period from which it can now be certainly known how the name "Webb" came to be adopted for this lodge. It is known, however, that it was not adopted in honor of any distinguished local Alason of that early period. It is believed that the name was adopted in honor of Thomas Smith Webb who was at that early day a distinguished Mason of national reputation as E'i"h.4 He was a native of Boston, Massachusetts, and at the time of his death, which occurred at Cleveland, while on a masonic mission to that city July 6, 1819, he was a resident of Providence, Rhode Island. He died at the 0e of forty-eight years and was one of the most distinguished Masons of his day. He was one of the men instrumental in establishing the General Grand Chapter and was its Deputy Grand High Priest at the time of his death. Publishes Monitor. Out of a very general confusion in his time, existing in Masonic work, I this distinguished Mason evolved a system generally recognized as admirable and published the first Masonic Monitor, which was adopted by ihe Grand Lodge of Indiana and generallyadopted and used. It is believed, therefore, that this lodge bears the name of "Webb" in honor of this distinguished Mason and in recognition of and as a mark of appreciation of his great services to the fraternity and of his exalted character as a man and Mason. The membership of Webb Lodge its first year numbered twenty-three. Among these, however, were a number of the leading men of the community, among which may be mentioned, Dr. James R. Mendenhall, John C. K4bbey, Lewis Burk, John Finley. Lewis Burk was one of the early bankers of Richmond and a man of the highest character and standing. Literary Man. John Finley was for many years and to the time of his death, Mayor of the City of Richmond. He was also a poet of more than local celebrity; his "Hoosiers' Nest" being widely published and generally regarded a poetic gem. In these early days of Masonry in Eastern Indiana, there were difficulties, prejuu!ces, hostility and obstacles which we of this day know nothing of except as matters of Masonic history. The early settlement of Richmond was largely members of the Society of Friends, commonly called "Quaker;." who regarded Masonic orders with suspicion and distrust and it was no easy task for our early brethren to organize and maintain a Masonic lodge in their midst. From the date of the charter of Webb Lodge in 1823 to 1833, a period of ten years, there were only fortytwo initiations, as appears by the records of the Grand Lodge. Obtains New Charter. In 1832 the lodge surrendered its charter to the Grand Lodge, it having existed to that time a lodge divided Deiween centerville and Richmond,

The lodge had financial troubles among its other manifold -difficulties, and in 1839 it was in arrears in the payment of its dues and obligations to theGrand Lodge. No returns were either of the ' made by the lodge in years 1840-1841 or 1842, and as appears by the Grand Lodge records, ifcs charter was taken up in 1843 by the Grand Lpdge on account of its inability to meet its financial obligations to the Grand Lodge, and that it worked under dispensation from 1843 to 1844. The brethren, however, persistently held on and the Grand Lodge realizing the difficulties :w'th which they were obliged to contend, at the session ot the year 1844, restored to the lodge its original charter with its original number as it was issued in 1833 and since that time the brethren of Webb Lodge have justified the confidence reposed in them by the Grand Lodge, by scattering all clouds of suspicion and distrust and builcing up and maintaining a loyal, prosperous lodge and through its influence having organized in Richmond another large and prosperous blue lodge, equal in membership to our own, a Chapter, Council and CVmmandery. The lodge now has a membership of more than four hundred and its members are loyal and zealous supporters of the Chapter, Council and Commandery. Helped Build Home. Its members were largely instrumental in the building of the modern, well-equipped. Masonic Temple in Richmond, worth $50,000, free of debt, and of which the lodge is a principal owner. Webb Lodge has furnished to the Masonic bodies of the State a considerable number from its membership, who have been called into the larger field of Masonic work and activity, and who have each and all served in their respective positions with honor to themselves and acceptably to the craft. Hon. David P. Holloway and Francis M. King, members of Webb Lodge, each served as Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Indiana. William B. Smith, also a member of Webb Lodge, was the first Grand High Priest of the Grand Chapter of Indiana. William W. Austin, another member, served the Grand Council of Indiana, as its Thrice Illustrious Grand Master two years. Christian Fetta. another member, served the Grand Lodge of Indiana as its Most Worshipful Grand Master two years and the Grand Chapter of Indiana as its Grand High Priest one year. Furnishes State Officers. Webb Lodge nas furnished three Grand Commanders of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Indiana, Edwin D. Palmer, John H. Nicholson and John L. Rupe. Aaron W. Hemp'.eman served the I Grand Body of the Order of the East ern Star as Grand Patron one year. Webb Lodge has at all times in its history numbered in its membership a large representation of the leading and influential men of the community. While in its early history its progTWO HISTORY OF WEBB ress was slow and labored, its later years have been marked by prosperity and in zeal and enthusiasm in all which pertains to Masonry and in its highest and best teachings and ideals. It is splendidly equipped with all accessories necessary to impart and impress Masonic lessons and teachings in all their beauty and perfection, and above all there is among its members and all about us the true spirit of Masonry and fraternity w hich hovers over us continually as a benediction.

Irish Change Attitude Toward English Soldiers (By Associated Press) DUBLIN, Oct. 23. In many parts qf Ireland friendly relations prevail between the soldiers and the people, and nowhere are they regarded with lhc bitter hostility displayed toward the police, and particularly toward the va cently imported English police known as the Black-and-Tans. But a change has been noted of late. At Omagh a dance was being held at which several men of the Kings Royal Rifles and the Inniskilling Fus ilieis had paid for admission and were enjoying themselves when a note was handed in by a masked man to the effect that, if any English soldier was allowed to take part in the dance, drastic steps would be taken. The soldiers took the matter in good humor, and left rather than cause any unpleasantness. O. P. NATIONAL COMMITTEE MAKES APPEAL FOR FUNDS NEW YORK. Oct. 23. An appeal for contributions to the Republican natcampaign fund was sent out from here Thursday by James G. Blaine Jr., the party's eastern treasurer. In a circular letter mailed broadcast over the eastern states, Mr. Blaine explained that difficulty of getting into successful operation the plan of subscriptions limited to $1,000 had caused expenses to accumulate faster than cash so that the national committee has had to borrow money. The present appeal is to wipe out this deficit and provide funds to conclude the campaign. Palladium Want Ads Pay.
