Pulies, 33°, grand secretary general. The clipping from the WASHINGTON 3EE came to hand and in reply to it I will state that in the;year of 1889 while 1 was serving as lieutenant grand commander of the United Supreme Council, the Ill. Thornton A. Jackson, who was then the sovereign grand commander, and Frederick C. Revell, was then grand secretary general. It was reported and stated that Thornton AC Jackson and Frederick C. Revell did issue a charter to a lodge in Flori- da under the United Supreme Council which I myself had nott ing to do with because it was done under the outhor- ity and direction of T. A. Jackson who was then the soverign grand com- mander. In the year of 1895, when I was elected the sovereign grand com- mander, Illustrious Seville wanted to know ifour United Supreme Council would organize lodges of Master Ma- sons and give them a charaer in Washington, D.C. and other places and I distinctly and emphatically said: “No.”’ He, Seville, referred me to the work that was done in Florida by Thornton A. Jackson. I told him that it made no difference to me how much bogus and spurious work in masonery Thornton A. Jackson had eyer done, that his work was nocriterian for me], and I refused to doit, and if he, Se- ville, says at any time that I have ever organized a lodge of master Masons in Washington or anywhere else in the world under our United Supreme Council, he is a falsifyer and 1 call upon him to name the lodge or the place that any work of that kind was done under me or by my sanction, advice and author- ity. Our United Supreme Council has no control or authority and has noth- ing to do whatever with the Entered Apprenticed Fellow Craft and Mas- ter Mason degrees. Those degrees are conferred in a Blue 42-33 working under a grand lodge, and want it distinctly understood that I aaes got nothing to do with any of the work in the blue lodges nor dol claim to ext ercise any power or authority or con- trol over them I challenge any Mason in Washing- ton to produce a document of any kind where I authorized any blue lodges of Master Masons to assemble and work under the auspices of the United Su- preme Ccuncil of the Ancient Accept- ed Scottish Rite. In the year of 1895 we had a consistory and a temple organizee at Grand Rapids, Mich , and there was only one Grand Lodge in the State atthat time and it was not under the national com- pact and I will give the sum of $100 to any mason who will prove that when we organized a consistory and temple at Grand Rapids, Mich., that it was under the national compact at that time. About a year ago they had a split in the grand lodges of that State and another independent grand lodge was organized, and so faras I knowj none of the subordinate lodges or the grand lodge either are under the na- tional compact. Whoever says that | recommended or requested any lodge or body of masons to join the compact is a scoundrel, a rascal, a villian, a falsifyer Yours fraternaly, John P.
