-- PAGE SIX SCOTTISH RITE 1 TO INSTITUTE ITS CONSISTORY HERE Four Days to Be Given Over to Conferring Degrees From the 15th to the 32d MANDAN WILL SHARE IN IT Expectation That Nearly 200! Will Be Initiated and 33d Team Will Function The biggest event in Masonry ever to be held in Bismarck is scheduled for March 26-29, inclusive, when from 150 to 200 initiates will take the thirty-second degree in the Scottish Rite reunion of the southern juris- diction. The reunion will embrace the Scottish Rite Masons of both Bis- Marck and Mandan, just as the re- cent York Rite festival at Mandan embraced the Masons of that branch in both cities. The final ceremonies, the institution of the new consistory, will take place in the city auditorium. | The first step to this large accese sion to these high degrees ot the M sonic fraternity was taken last March. when 106 Masons were given degrees. Since then about 50 others have Signed to take the higher degrees and others are to make their application between now and the reunion dates. The pending activities here are under letters temporary and specia! dispensation. After the i. stitution of the consistory, it will continue to function until next October, when the Supreme council meets at Washing- | ton. At that time a regular charter is expected to be granted Thirty-thirds to Confer Degree Under the special dispensation, members who will form the consistory have trained themselves in the ritual of the various degrees to be conferred and have the work very thoroughly memorized, so much so that Walter Reed, sovereign grand inspector gen- | eral for North Dakota, has applauded their perfection and has smoothed | the way wherever possible toward the coming institution. An unusual feature of the institu- tion of the consistory here will be conferring of the thirty-second degree by @ group consisting entirely of thirty-third degree Masons, in full dress. This seldom happens in such events. The big feature of the cere- monies will be Walter Reed, the sovereign grand inspector general of the state. During the reunion, the kitchen | and dining room will be operated, as heretofore, and dinner will be served each day in the reunion. At the Maundy Thursday services | and banquet, the evening of March 28, the ceremony of extinguishing the lights will be observed. The attend- ance at this banquet is obligatory on ul Scottish Rite brethren.

OLVANY, HEAD OF TAMMANY, RESIGNS IN GOTHAM; !Consternation Caused in Demo- cratic Circles as Murphy's Successor Quits New York, March 16.—(?)—George |W. Olvany, leader of Tammany Hall | since the death of Charles F. Murphy five years ago, has resigned. While ill health was given as the reason there |was much speculation today about the matter. The resignation was submitted yes- terday by letter at a meeting of the executive committee of the New York County Democratic committee, cr Tammay Hall, as more generally known. New York newspapers had various theories to offer. Some said that in some quarters the resignation was re- garded as a gesture intended to in- spire a vote of confidence on the part of the executive committee. Some Suggested it was the outcome of dis- satisfaction on the part of Democratic leaders with the poor showing made by Alfred E. Smith in the presidential election in the Tammany districts. The papers went on to say that Olvany was known to be far from Popular with many of the district leaders and was said to have quar- reled with Mayor Walker recently about patronage. Olvany’s action coming without warning on the eve of a municipal campaign threw leaders of the local Democratic organization into confu- sion and gave rise to speculation on its effect on the candidacy of Mayor Walker for reelection. Olvany has been a member of Tam- many Hall for 32 years. He succeeded Murphy as leader of Tammany Hall after long association with the chief- tain in the capacity of chairman of the Tamm .ny law committee. He was serving as an appointed general ses- sions judge in i924 when he was made | head of the Tammany organization. > | Sterling ? By MILDRED A. JOHNSON Ed.

It was a singular coincidence in the life of General Daniel Appleton that his two principal activities—the pub- lishing business and the National Guard of the state of New York— were commenced in the same year and continued without interruption for more than 40 years. He started at the bottom and advanced step by step until he attained positions of leadership and responsibility in each. General Appleton was born in New York, Feb. 24, 1852; the son of John A. and Serena P. Appleton. He was educated at New York and Carlsruhe. Germany. and at the age of 19 be- came a clerk in the employ of D. Appleton & Co., the publishers, which firm was founded by his grandfather. Daniel Appleton, in 1825, and of which his father was a member. In 1879 General Appleton was taken into the partnership. Although the publishing house had become a great institution when he joined it he did much to carry on its fine old tradi- tions and to increase its prestige. He devoted himself to the business side of the organization, while his cousin, William Worthen Appleton, looked after editorial matters. Eventually becoming vice president and general manager, General Apple- ton filled those two positions for a Jong period of years, during which many of the signal successes of the firm made their appearance. The later works of the great scientists, Spencer and Huxley; the memoirs of many of the Civil War leaders; the famous novel, David Harum. which sold into the millions, and the books o: Hall Caine, Gilbert Parker and others were published. Their tre- mendous success was duc in a large measure to the efficient distributing organization which General Appleton hac built up. He retired from the Publishing firm in 1913 after an as- sociation of 42 years. The rank of brevet major general was given »y the state of New York to General Appleton for 45 years’ service in the Seventh Regiment. He enlisted as a private in Company F. October 31, 1871, and in January, 1879, he became captain of his com- pany. Ten years later he was elected colonel of the regiment and served until retirea by age limit on his 64th birthday anniversary.

Ralph suffered from an infection of the bone due to a scratch suffered on one of his great toes on Labor day, 1922. After spending eight months in bed, during which time his weight dropped from 96 to 56 pounds, he was taken to the University hos- pital for his first operation. He was so weak, however, that it was two iweeks before sufficient resistance could be built up for the operation. The femur bone of the left leg had decayed from the infection. To save the leg from amputation the softened portion of the bone was cut away, leaving just a thin stem. In turning the boy on the operating table, this was broken, but it was placed in splints and now nature has almost filled the gap. The disease broke out at different times in different places—a toe, a leg, a collar bone, a rib had to be scraped when the infection appeared. The boy became so weak from such con- tinual operating that a quart of blood had to be transfused at one time.
