The Landmarks League has expended $1300 in rebuilding the wails of the chapel.

The occasion was a notable one in thé Masonic fra- ternity and was the largest affair of its kind ever given in Oakland. The appointments were perfect. The decorations were of a high order and peculiarly appropriate to the exception- ally interesting event that was ob- served. Men of affairs, leaders in the fraternity, prominent in all walks of life, were present. The national halls of legislation were represented, the State of California had its chief execu- tive there and many of Oakland’s of- ficials attended. The grand master of the Masons of California and other of- ficers of the Grand Lodge were guests of honor. The clergy and the bar were represented at the posts of honor. In the presiding place was Frank Kanning Mott, worshipful master of Live Oak Lodge, who was flanked by the distinguished invited guests and their ladies. Those who sat at his right were Grand Sacretary George Johnson and Mrs. Johnson, Grand Lecturer W. H. Edwards and Mrs. Edwards; J. Miner, the oldest living member of Live Oak Lodge; John R.

The banquet was given in the ball- room at Maple Hall, the large apart- ment being beautifully embellished with flowers and foliage, the flag of the nation occupylng a prominent place. Acrpss the north end of the hall was laid the main table. At the center, opposite the worshipful mas- ter's station, a magnificent live oak tree spread its branches, the emblem of the lodge and typically appropriate. At the back, flanked by American flags, was a golden scroll, bordered by bamboo and huge masses of golden rod. Great clusters of bamboo fernery and yellow’hid the walls. At the rear, overlooking the music platform, was an illuminated square and compass, with the: mystic “G” worked out in blue and white ‘electric lamps and bor- dered by flags and follage. With ar- tistic hands, silken flags, mingled with greenery and golden flowers, were lav- ishly displayed as mural effects. The ensemble was to convert the banquet hall into a bower of beautiful floral color, the golden emblem of half a cen- tury’s anniversary predominating.

Anbther circumstance in the al- ready notorious litigation over the af- fairs of the White Swan Mines Com- pany, in which Letson Balliet is the chief figure, appeared yesterday in a suit flled in the Superior Court de- manding an accounting from J.

Grayson and eighteen others, presumably stockholders, are plaintiffs and Wood- ward and the White Swan Company are named as defendants. It is made plaimv that the company ,did not in- struct the bringg of the suit against the secretary because Woodward and ! the other directors would not hedr to such an action. The complaint sets forth that Woodward became secretary of the confidence of the corporation and was authorized by Balliet to open his mail, sign money orders and receipt for money received. in- Ballief's name. It is charged that Woodward sold shares and receipted for about $170,000 re- ceived .for stock sold.. Out of this’ sum he paid his traveling expenses to ! Baker City, Or., paid for labor, fuel, timber, machinery and other expenses of the mine and paid his traveling ex- penses {o Des Moines, Iowa, together with the expenses of his wife on the trip. It is stated that she was an in- valid and was quartered in a hospital here at a great expense: ‘Woodward, it is charged, has only' accounted for the expenditure of about $100,000 for the mine and $10,000 for advertising, which leaves $60,000 yet to be accounted for.
