AKLAND, June 7.—The Grand] Lodge of Masons of the State of California, assisted by the vari- ous Masonic bodies of Alameda County, conducted the ceremonies surrounding the laying of the cornerstone of the new Oakland Postoffice this after- noon. Special arrangements were made by the Masonic order for this event, and | with beautiful climatic conditions, music | and song, oration and solemn ritual, the i great gray block of granite was set in its | place and the walls of Oakland's first Federal building will now grow rapidly above it. ‘When the Grand Lodge of Masons agreed te conduct the services the local arrangements were placed in the hands of a committee composed of representa- tives from all of the Masonic bodies of the county. These provided a parade, the music of bands, vocal selections and the general arrangements. Grand Orator E. | H. Hart, who is a resident of Berkeley, agreed to deliver the oration, and the cer- | emcenies are provided for in the rituals of the order. The members of the order gathered at| the Masonic Temple in the afternoon. | There they formed in line, with Grand | Master W. 8. Wells of the Grand Lodge at the head. Following him were the va- rious officers of the Grand Lodge. Oak- land Commandery No. 11 of the Knights Templar, in full uniform, .under the com- mand of Eminent Commander W. S.| Price, acted as escort to the Seven blue lodges and the various lodges of the| Scottish Rite Masons who participated. | The Fifth Regiment Band furnished the | marching music, but the boys' band from the Masonic Widows' and Orphans’ Home at Decoto attracted all of the at- tention and furnished the band solos dur- ing the exercises. The little fellows made a great hit and were roundly applauded by the audience. NEW ERA FOR OAKLAND. At the building seats were provided for! members of the Grand Lodge and the other Masonic bodies - grouped them- selves about on a temporary flooring that had been thrown over the building for the occasion. Grand Master W. 8. Wells formally | opened the Grand Lodge, and with a few earnest words spoke of this event as inaugurating a new era for Oakland. | He expresséd the hope that prosperity and greatness would come to this citly and that no failure would come to either the community or the building that was | about to be dedicated to the public use. | Then followed the ceremonies of prov- | ing the stone with the square, level and | piumb, and the administration of the corn of plenty, the wine of refreshment and the oil of happiness. Grand Master Wells then read the contents of the copper box placed in the cornerstone, as | Constitution of the United States, flag of | the United States, land, names of the President of the United States, members of the Cabinet, United States | California, Congressman from jonal District of Californfa, | Governor of California, Supervisors of Alameds County and Mayor of ceedings of the M.

FIRST LESSON IN TRUTH. Grand Orator E. H. Hart was then in- troduced by Grand Master Wells and proved his title to the office that he holds in the fraternity. He said in.part: LIt is a noteworthy fact that the Masonic fra- 8rnity 14 the only organization of its charac- ter in the world that is ever called upon or requested to officiate upon occasions of this kind—the laying of cornerstones of non-secta- rian public buildings. 1t is right that this should be so, not only because the traditions of Freemasonry assign its origin to the association of operative ma- sons at & time as remote as the bullding of King Solomon’s Temple, but more particularly is it proper because speculative Masonry of the present day embodies, and for the .ast 300 . and I B i i o o R e e ] ) CHIEFTAIN IN SAMOA FEARFUL OF UNCLE SAM County Ruler Seeks to Ignore Orders, but Soon Submits to Ameri- can Power. PAGO PAGO, May 20.—The indulgent conciliatory policy the United States Government displayed toward the Samoan people is belng taken advantage of b, the Bamoans. In one case a county chief, when summoned to attend the command- ant for disobedience of orders, came to Pago Pagoe with all the able-bodied men of his county and publicly declared that his people would secede from the United States.

WASHINGTON, June 7.—Truman G. Palmer of Chicago continued his state- ment on the subject of American holdings of’sugar Jands in Cuba before the Senate Cuban Committee. Summarizing the entire presentation, he placed the number of Cuban estates held by Americans, individual and corporate, at 172, with a total acreage of ownership amouynting to 1,482,801, of which 330,846 acres are cane producing. ‘The annual cane capacity of this land he placed at $30,445 tons, but he said that the lands were not producing to their full capac- ity and some of thém not at all 1 | American ownerships have war claims against the United States amounting in the aggregate to $41,335,803. ; “Some of the American factories for which claims for damages have been pre- been rebuilt, but neither the Spaniards nor the insurgents'could have destroyed the land which was in cane. The eane un- doubtedly was destroved, but the land must be in better condition to grow cane atter years of idleness than it was sev- eral years ago, when Cuba produced over a million tons of sugar per season. “Whatever additional scaling down may be done on the statements submitted on the basis of inaccuracies or misstatements on the part of the claimants for damages, the fact must be patent that the hoidings by American citizens of land in Cuba which is or has been in cultivation are of sufficient area to produce as great a crop as the entire island turned out this year, and this is less than one-fourth of the and In Palmer sald were other large acreages of Cuban lands owned by outstders which he had not in- cluded in his list. In this excluded list he referred to the 150,000 acres of jand which Sir Willlam Van Horne had in. corporations the possession of.

Imperfections existed, he | admitted. but they were the imperfec- tions that were constantly manifesting themselves in human character. He spoke of California on the Western shore of this continent, of the wonder of its mountains and its valleys, of its cli mate, of its gold and its prndunllveness,‘ of its wonderful scenery, and closed with | a tribute to the women of the State and a Freglctlon of/the future greatness of Oak- | and.
