May 6, 1907, will be remembered as a day of mystery and intrigue in the nation’s capital. In a cryptic notice, the Scottish Rite Hall announced that a meeting of the Supreme Council for the U.S.A. would take place at 8 pm on the 6th instant. The meeting’s purpose was shrouded in secrecy, but one thing was certain: the highest echelons of the fraternity were gathering to deliberate on matters of utmost importance.
