SHRINERS’ SUIT
IS DISMISSED
Lincoln. May 9—The Nebraska
state supreme court Thursday de
clined to interfere in the controversy
between Fred Rogers and the Tangier
Temple, Mystic Shrine of Omaha.
Rogers was expelled from mem
bership in the shrine by the imperial
council at the Shrtners' convention in
San Francisco three years ago, and
has been fighting for reinstatement
since that time
Rogers, with several others, was ex
pelled from the order after he had
been accused of circulating printed
ballots at an election of officers in an
effort to form a conspiracy.
The supreme court ruled that ac
tion should iiaie been brought
against the imperial council and not
against the Tangier temple, atnee It
was the imperial council who ordered
Rogers' expulsion. Th" right of prop
prty In the temple claimed by Kogera
is not a personal right, the court
maintained.
