Lansing Team Initiates Two Members in Third Degree

The Masonic lodge room was a busy spot Wednesday evening, when about 60 members of Capitol Lodge, No. 66 of Lansing came over, their team initiating two candidates in the mysteries of the Third Degree.

Visitors were also present from Mulliken and Wacousta. Among the visitors from Lansing was Claud Griffin, who drove a Reo car from New York to San Francisco in 10 days, 15 hours and 12 minutes. The trip was made last year. He brought over a load of Masons in the car in which he made the run, the machine being plentifully lettered showing that it had made the transcontinental trip.
