MASONIC TEMPLE CEREMONIOUSLY DEDICATED OFFICERS OF THE GRAND LODGE OF CALIFORNIA IN CHARGE OF THE WORK HUNDREDS OF VISITORS FROM NEIGHBORING TOWNS ASSIST AT EXERCISES With the ancient and accustomed rites incident to the order, the temple now being erected at the corner of Emily and Center streets was dedicated Friday afternoon to the services for which it is designed, and the cornerstone was hail with appropriate ceremonies by the Masonic Grand Lodge of California. The ceremonies were in charge of Worshipful Grand Master William Parker Fillner, of San Francisco, and he was assisted by the following grand officers: Grand Chaplain ... E. A. Sherman Grand Lecturer ... T. J. Baker Grand Senior Warden ... A. M. Robbins Grand Junior Warden... M. W. Martenet Grand Treasurer ... C. A. Boege Grand Secretary ... Wm. Chambers Grand Assistant Sec ... H. R. Andre Grand Sword Bearer ... J. D. James Junior Grand Deacon ... Earl Abbey Grand Pursuivant ... Wm. Crowther Grand Tyler ... J. H. Enerl "Forty-three years ago," he continued, "Masonry was established in Anaheim. The founders of the order here had a severe struggle to maintain it, but today we have 80 members and are steadily advancing in numbers. "The spirit of God and the spirit of brotherly love went into that cornerstone, and God's love is directing the work." A song by the choir ended the ceremonies at the close of the grand orator's address, after which the members of the order formed in line and marched to the hall where the ladies had prepared refreshments of cold punch and ice cream. The Anaheim Masons will own one of the finest temples in the Southland when this splendid edifice is completed. The building alone, irrespective of the ground, will cost $32,000. It is 80 by 120 feet in dimensions. The ground floor will be divided into three store rooms which have already been contracted for, and the upper story devoted to lodge purposes.

David Todd Gillmor In addition to the local order there was present, and taking part in the ceremonies, Santa Ana Commandery, No. 36, Knights of the Temple, the Santa Ana blue lodge, the Fullerton lodge, and quite a number from the Orange, Huntington Beach and Buena Park lodges. The Masons, local and visiting members of the order, marched in procession from the present hall at Chartres and Los Angeles streets, headed by Crowther's Cadet band, and reached the scene of the ceremonies, where a large crowd had already assembled, at 3 o'clock. The choir of St. Michael's Episcopal church, in full vestments, and the High School quartette, were awaiting their arrival in the grand stand, and furnished appropriate music during the ceremonies. After a selection by the orchestra and an invocation by the Grand Chaplain, E. A. Sherman, Miss Nellie Look sang a solo. Then William Falkenstein, Worshipful Master of the local lodge, in a short but appropriate speech, presented to Grand Master Fillmer a silver trowel, and requested him to use it in placing in position the cornerstone of the building in course of construction. In accepting the trowel Mr. Fillmer said: "The construction of this temple reminds us of the building of that other temple many centuries ago where Masonry was born. Ages have passed since that great temple perished but the principles promulgated in its building still live. Fortitude, prudence, temperance and charity remain with us, and will be handed down to future generations." At the close of his address, after a musical selection the Grand Master ordered the Senior Warden to instruct the Junior Warden to notify the members that the ceremony of laying the cornerstone would proceed. Following is a list of the documents and articles placed in the cavity beneath the granite block: Roster of officers and members of all the Masonic lodges of Orange Violations of State Law Will Meet With Summary and Condign Punishment District Forester DuBois reports the following violations of the state law governing camp fires left burning on public lands: On the Angeles National Forest an unextinguished campfire was found by one of the Forest Service rangers, and the two men who were responsible for it were arrested and taken into San Bernardino where they were tried on June 5 before Justice G. M. Pittman. They were each sentenced to 15 days in jail, but the sentence was suspended. Two young boys left a campfire burning on National Forest land, and it was discovered by a forest guard on June 11. The lads were taken before the juvenile court, where the judge directed them to remain out of the mountains for a period of one year. On June 9 two men were tried before Judge McDonald, in Pasadena, and each man was fined $50 under the state law, for having left a campfire burning on National Forest land. ASKS APPROPRIATION FOR HIGHWAY WORK Northern Orange County Protective Association Wants to Improve Lower Road At a meeting of the Northern Orange County Protective Association held at Fullerton Monday night the matter of road improvement in La Habra valley was discussed. The association indorsed the proposition of asking the county to spend $20,000 toward building what is known as the lower road which runs almost through the center of La Habra valley, with the understanding that the people of that valley vote bonds in the sum of $30,000 or $35,000 to be spent on the lower road. It is said they are willing to vote the bonds. A committee was appointed to appear before the board of supervisors to ask for the $20,000 appropriation, and a like committee was appointed at a mass meeting held in La Habra this week. The state highway is what is known as the upper road through La Habra but this does not pass through the center of the valley. The upper road will be improved when the other highways of the county are built. At the next meeting of the Protective Association to be held tomorrow The facts are, that they do is to buy 96 dew sugar and sell it again as laundering out about 4 purities. They say, kill beet suitor of the trust. The facts are, domestic lated sugar is something from the soil, in our hence it is most important. They say that the in sugar refiners and their are identical. The facts are, that could kill beet sugar would be compelled to the refiners might set. They say that sugar on the free list. The facts are, that no try in the world, not even free sugar. No real star country are even contemidial policy. They say, that the sumer would save 2 center free sugar. The facts are, that they to the consumer today lowes: Cuban raw sugar landed York costs Tariff duty Total cost in New York Refiners profits in "laur At the close of his address, after a musical selection the Grand Master ordered the Senior Warden to instruct the Junior Warden to notify the members that the ceremony of laying the cornerstone would proceed. Following is a list of the documents and articles placed in the cavity beneath the granite block: Roster of officers and members of all the Masonic lodges of Orange county. Copy of the constitution and by-laws of the Anaheim Board of Trade. Copy of the constitution and by-laws of the Anaheim Retail Merchants' Association. Copy of the by-laws and list of officers and members of the following orders: Masons, Knights of Pythias, Fraternal Brotherhood, Knights of the Maccabees, Knights of Columbus, Fraternal Aid Society, Modern Woodmen, Order of Eagles, Moose, Odd Fellows, Royal Neighbors, Women of Woodcraft, Pythian Sisters, W. C. T. U. Copy of the Anaheim Gazette and other newspapers, one penny. "We are placing under this stone," said Mr. Fillmer, "articles representative of the present day. This building will eventually be destroyed, perhaps by fire, perhaps by the elements, but at any rate by the inexorable teeth of Time, and those of the future generation who delve in its ruins will find beneath this stone the records we place here today." After the ceremony of placing the granite block in position Rev. David Todd Gillmor, rector of St. Michael's Episcopal church, was introduced as the grand orator of the day. His address was short but full of matter appropriate to the occasion. "Masonry," said he, "takes its inspiration from King Solomon, under whose wise reign it was born, and today Masonry means brotherly love and good citizenship." REFINERS ONLY BENEFIT BY FREE SUGAR UNDERWOOD BILL WILL ENRICH TRUST AT EXPENSE OF THE AMERICAN GROWERS SUGAR CHEAPER UNDER PRESENT PROTECTIVE LAW THAN WHEN ADMITTED FREE To the Editor of the Gazette: In the May issue of World's Work, Woodrow Wilson says, "We will smoke the rascals out." He might begin by smoking out that nigger in the sugar house, F. C. Lowry. In testifying before the Hardwick committee on July 13, 1911, Lowry admitted that the so-called wholesale grocers never met and appointed this so-called committee of wholesale grocers. Furthermore the alleged members of this committee never even met and appointed themselves. Mr. Frank C. Lowry, sales agent of Claus A. Spreckels' New York refinery, poses as secretary of this mythical, imaginary, unborn committee of wholesale grocers and admitted that the so-called committee never was appointed by the wholesale grocers, never elected officers, never held a meeting of any description, never adopted a resolution, never suggested a move or directed any work and that no one ever applied for membership. He testified furthermore, that when he asked for contributions to defray the expense of propaganda for sugar tariff reduction, all refused to contribute a dollar and never have contributed a dollar, nor has he received a dollar from any business interest other The facts are, that the world's sugar market is controlled by the biggest trust on earth, the Brussels convention. Under free sugar it will be a case of a foreign trust playing into the hands of a local trust and the people will be ground to pieces between the upper and nether mill-stones. They say, that the people of the United States want free sugar. The facts are, when free sugar has killed off beet sugar production and the melters of Cuban sugars set their price, will they want free sugar? They say that tariff reduction on sugar would reduce the price to the consumer. The facts are, that Canada has a much lower duty than ours, but has no effective beet sugar competition, hence the Canadian consumer pays more for his sugar than the American. Better look into this. They say that the domestic sugar industry has been given its chance and has not made good. The facts are, that it has fought its way to a point where it has not only made good, but has frightened the life out of the cane refiners for fear it will "make better." The domestic industry distributes throughout the United States at least $110,000,000 annually. It has already lowered the price of sugar materially. If allowed it will produce all the sugar consumed in the United States, keep the price of sugar low, and at the same time distribute $220,000,000 to circulate amongst the people. They say take off the duty and we (the "laundrymen") will give the full profit to the consumer. The facts are, this country had free sugar from 1891 to 1894. Temporarily, the refiners dropped the price the full amount of the duty, then after they had sweetened the consumer for a year, they increased their profits 25 cents per hundred and the following year nearly 40 cents per hundred which enabled the trust to increase its profits from $2,700,000 to over $10,000,000 per annum. Can you imagine who now wants free sugar and why? They say that with free sugar the price will be less. Thirty candidates were initiated into the mysteries of the Moose lodge Thursday evening, the degree team from the Santa Ana lodge having charge of the work. Following the regular work a banquet was held and visiting as well as local members enjoyed a sumptuous feed. BUSINESS CARDS J. W. TRUXAW, M. D.

LEONARD EVANS Attorney-at-Law He testified furthermore, that when he asked for contributions to defray the expense of propaganda for sugar tariff reduction, all refused to contribute a dollar and never have contributed a dollar, nor has he received a dollar from any business interest other than sugar refining. He testified that he wrote all the literature and directed all the work from the Spreckels' sugar refining office in New York. Under this false committee, the country has been flooded with false statements. Furthermore the testimony shows that $16,000 of Spreckels' money was spent in circulating this propaganda. They say: We must reduce the high cost of living. The facts are, according to domestic beet sugar and cane competition, that white granulated is lower now than it has been for 15 years, it being in a class by itself as all other food commodities have advanced. They say that sugar should be put on the free list because it is a trust controlled product and we must kill the trusts. The fact is, that the sugar trust being an importer of raw sugar on which it has to pay a duty, wants the duty off. Wouldn't you if you were in the trust? They say, (Leader Underwood and Woodrow Wilson), the industrial position of refining requires primary consideration. The facts are, that the melters do not produce a pound of sugar. What they do is to buy 96 degree pure raw sugar and sell it again at a profit after laundering out about 4 per cent of impurities. They say, kill beet sugar, for it is a competitor of the trust. The facts are, domestic beet granulated sugar is something produced from the soil, in our own country, hence it is most important. They say that the interests of the sugar refiners and the sugar consumers are identical. The facts are, that if the refiners could kill beet sugar the consumers would be compelled to pay any price the refiners might set. They say that sugar should be put on the free list. The facts are, that no civilized country in the world, not even England, has free sugar. No real statesmen of any country are even contemplating so suicidal a policy. They say, that the American consumer would save 2 cents a pound under free sugar. The facts are, that the price of sugar to the consumer today is fixed as follows: Cuban raw sugar landed in New York costs $2.10 Tariff duty 1.35 Total cost in New York 3.45 Refiners profits in "laundering" .71 They say take off the duty and we (the "laundrymen") will give the full profit to the consumer. The facts are, this country had free sugar from 1891 to 1894. Temporarily, the refiners dropped the price the full amount of the duty, then after they had sweetened the consumer for a year, they increased their profits 25 cents per hundred and the following year nearly 40 cents per hundred which enabled the trust to increase its profits from $2,700,000 to over $10,000,000 per annum. Can you imagine who now wants free sugar and why? They say that with free sugar the price will be less. The facts are, in 1892 and 1893 here is how the consumer fared: Average wholesale price of refined under free sugar, for the years 1892 and 1893...$4.59 Average wholesale price under domestic competition, February and March, 1913...4.19 Average refiners' margin under free sugar 1892-3...1.09 Average refiners' margin for domestic competition, February and March, 1913...68 They say that under free sugar the consumer would save the amount of the duty. The facts are, some of the same people played the same game with free coffee and made a colossal fortune out of the American consumer. Now they want to repeat it in sugar. Oscar W. Underwood says, what these people want and what they are striving after is to "tax" the American people in order that they may bring their beet sugar to the Atlantic seaboard and drive out all competition. (Congressional Record, page 804, May 1, 1913.) The facts are, the only people on the Atlantic seaboard in danger of being driven out are the refiners of raw sugar. Mr. Underwood has said that their interests "require consideration." The people whom Mr. Underwood wants to prevent from driving out the refiners are the growers of domestic beet sugar in 16 different states, who produce 624,000 tons of sugar in competition with 2,876,000 tons melted by the refiners. Who is Mr. Underwood the champion for, the refiners or the dear people? This is the first frank admission that the avowed purpose of free sugar is to protect the cane refiners of the Atlantic seaboard against the competition of beet sugar. What have the refiners done to deserve this support? Did the refiners ever give the dear people anything? The "tax" the American people are paying is a payment of 4½ cents a pound retail for their sugar as against the average price of 6 cents a pound before beet sugar reached the New York market at the Atlantic seaboard. A. WELLINGTON. ENTERTAINS THE GRADUATING CLASS Miss Beryl Kennedy Hostess at a Pleasant Social Affair At Romona Villa, the beautiful home The facts are, that no civilized country in the world, not even England, has free sugar. No real statesmen of any country are even contemplating so suicidal a policy. They say, that the American consumer would save 2 cents a pound under free sugar. The facts are, that the price of sugar to the consumer today is fixed as follows: Cuban raw sugar landed in New York costs $2.10 Tariff duty 1.35 Total cost in New York 3.45 Refiners profits in "laundering" .71 Wholesale price of white sugar, net 4.16 Jobber and retailer's profits, say .34 Price to consumer in New York 4.50 The question is, who is going to give the consumer that 2 cents. They say, free sugar is for the benefit of the consumer. The facts are, the refiners must have less duty on their imported raw material to enable them to kill beet sugar, as Western beet sugar sold in competition with cane for the first time in New York City this winter. They say, reduce the cost of living with free sugar. The facts are, the consumer knows that it is cheaper today than for 15 years past—cheaper in America than in any other country in the world, cheaper today than any other food commodity of equal purity and sustaining qualities. They said, in 1911, that if sugar were 2 cents per pound cheaper, the price of condensed milk, candy, and sweet biscuits would be less, sticks of chewing gum would be larger and that our jars of preserves would go out and capture neutral markets of the world. The facts are, that sugar is 2 cents a pound cheaper than in 1911 and none of these things have happened, any more than in the case of coffee which is double the price it was when it was put on the free list. They say that the people of the United States want free sugar. The facts are, Woodrow Wilson, Leader Underwood and Representative Hardwick are "the people" that are demanding free sugar for the benefit solely of the sugar trust and to further their own political ends. They say, that the American consumer should buy his sugar in the world's market. ENTERTAINS THE GRADUATING CLASS Miss Beryl Kennedy Hostess at a Pleasant Social Affair At Romona Villa, the beautiful home of Mrs. A. R. Kennedy, occurred one of the social events of the season Thursday afternoon, when Miss Beryl Kennedy entertained the grammar school graduating class. The hostess was assisted during the afternoon by Miss Genevieve Rimpau of Los Angeles and Miss Edna Reed of Long Beach. The motif chosen for decoration of the affair was pink and white, the flower being Shasta daisies. Crepe paper was used in a most artistic manner throughout the spacious rooms. The table decorations were unique and faultlessly arranged, the pink candelabra being used as a centerpiece, with corner lights of the same shade, the effect proving most pleasing. The game for the afternoon was a romance from Shakespeare, the game being of a contest nature, and full of interest from start to finish. Miss Kennedy's list of guests included Genevieve Rimpau, Los Angeles; Edna Reed, Long Beach; Lols Dyer, Marie Fisher, Maria Frazer, Inez Elliott, Pearl Dishrun, Adele Howard, Ruth Lemon, Ruth Grim, Ruby Cassou, Jessie Boyd, Edith Simpson, Ersula North, Margaret Junge, Johanna Jessurun, Venice McKeel, Audrey Phalin, Irma Steadman. Judge J. S. Howard was confined to his home several days last week with sickness, and business in his court became somewhat congested. No guilty man escaped, however, as he was able to clear the calendar later.
