I wish to inform all officers and members of the Queen Esther Grand Chapter, Order of Eastern Star and the King Solomon Grand Lodge, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Texas, that I have asked the state of Texas to defend our rights and title against C. L. Mitchell and all his followers, from using the name and title of Queen Esther Grand Chapter, Order of Eastern Star of Texas, by granting me the original charter. Should the state of Texas grant me my request, Mitchell will have to submit his subordinate chapter charters or warrants. That ought to be a lesson to all his associates and followers, for it shows that he must be more muscular right to do any more Masonite work in the state of Texas. Please notice the next issue of this paper for final decision. Fraternally. (Signed) -N. N. BOOZIER, 33', G. M., 303 Lincoln Theatre Bldg., Houston, Texas.
