AFTER DELAY
Citizenship of Former U. S.
Marshal Questioned; Dele
gate to Masonic Grand
Lodge Meeting in London.
Washington, June 6. (Special
'"elegram.) After a number of per
sonal interviews with the passport
division of the State department,
and finally with the law office of the
department. Congressman Jefferis
today secured a passport to Eng
land for Francis E. White of Oma
ha. grand secretary of the grand
lodge of Masons of Nebraska. The
grand Io-Irc of Ancient, Free and
Accepted Masons of England is go
ing to hold a peace celebration at
London, beginning June 24 and
continuing one week. All grand
masters and grand secretaries in
the United States have been invited
to attend.
As Grand Master of Masons of
Nebraska, Ambrose C. Epperson of
Clay Center, insisted that the grand
secretary attend this celebration.
Mr. White made the necessary ap
plication for a passport, which has
been held up until today on the
question of his citizenship. le was
born in England, but resided in Cass
county with his father and mother
when Nebraska was admitted as a
state.
Representative Jefferis cited the
case of James E. Boyd to support'
his contention that Mr. White was
a citizen within the meaning of the
law and the further fact that he was
marshal of the United States for
the district of Nebraska for four
years from March, 27, 1893, the oath
which he took to support the con
stitution being tantamount to citi
zenship. The passport will be sent
to New York in time for Mr. White's
sailing on June 14. J
John Ehrhard of Stanton, Neb., is
also desirous of attending the Grand
Lodge in London on June 24 and
Representative Evans is interesting
himself in Mr. Ehrhard's behalf.
