Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Fraternal Order — Discipline of Members. Applying the rule laid down in Meno Lodge v. Grand Lodge, 54, Kan. 73, 37 Pac. 1003, 26 L. R. A. 98, no error is found in the proceedings of the defendant in error herein in disciplining one of the members of the association.</p> <p>2. Jurisdiction — Estopped by Appearance. Where one appears before a tribunal, in response to a citation so to appear and answer for a specified offense, and does not ask for further time in which to prepare his defense, or for greater detail in the specification of charges, but only urges the non-jurisdiction of the tribunal to try, he waives both of such objections.</p> <p>3. Fraternal Order — “Due Process of Law.” Due proceedings, based upon proper by-laws, of a voluntary association, in the disciplining of its members thereof, constitute due process of law, and such proceedings may go to the length of the expulsion of a member, and thereby to the forfeiting of property rights which might accrue to such member.</p>
