aspirante deberá pretender y solicitar de un A. * su ingreso y éste lo
comunicará al F. * para las averiguaciones necesarias respecto de su
conducta.

2. No obstante del artículo anterior, ninguno será admitido sin previa
votacion del C. * satisfecha á las pruebas á que se halla sugeto el
neofito.

autoridades Pp. * eligen al G. P. * F. * y T. * los tres al S. P. * Las
P. P. * eligen al G. S. * F. S. * y T. S. * y éstos eligen al S. S. *

F. *

5. Para obtener los cargos se necesitan las tres cuartas partes de los
votos de los presentes.

6. Cada vez que se admita á un A. * el Gp. * solo comunica al G. P. *
con su nombre nuevo y el antiguo; lo mismo cuando se funda un nuevo C. *

7. Las comunicaciones en tiempo ordinario, deben llevar sus nombres
simbólicos, tanto del que firma como del destinatario y el curso que
sigue és, del A. * al Gp. * de éste al G. P. * ó al G. S. * y viceversa.
Solo en casos extraordinarios pueden salvarse estas formalidades; no
obstante, en todo tiempo y lugar el G. S. * puede dirigirse directamente
á cualquiera.

8. No es menester que todos los miembros de un C. * estén presentes para
que las decisiones tengan validez; basta que se halle presente la mitad
y una de las autoridades.

9. En los momentos críticos cada C. * se considerará como la
salvaguardia de la L. F. * y si por una causa ú otra se disolviesen los
demas ó desaparecieren, cada C. * cada G. * cada A. * tomará sobre sí la
mision de reorganizarlos y reconstituirlos.

10. El C. S. * está plenamente facultado para subsanar todas las
deficiencias que se noten, en el presente estatuto, y agregar otras
disposiciones no previstas en el mismo, necesarias é imprecindibles para

intereses materiales ú ofensas personales, el agraviado ú ofendido debe
dirijirse en queja al P. * de su C. * quien ordenará la formacion de un
jurado, que fallará la cuestion.

12. Cuando el A. * notare parcialidad en el tribunal de su Cp. * y no se
conforma en la sentencia alli dictada, puede acudir en apelacion al C.
P. * y hasta al C. S. * haciendo para estos casos los tramites de
gerarquia en gerarquia.

13. Los fallos del tribunal del C. S. * no admiten ya apelacion; pues,
son irrevocables.

14. Queda terminantemente prohibido á todos los A. * de la L. F. *
someter á las autoridades judiciales y gubernativas toda clase de
asuntos que surjan entre A. * Toda infraccion en este sentido, será
severísimamente castigada.

15. Fuera del recinto del C. * y de todo aquello que no afecte á la
disciplina de la L. F. * en general, en el trato social se considerarán
como si fuesen hermanos carnales todos los A. * desde el G. S. * hasta
el último A. * de todos los C. * de la L. F. * ; con tan fraternal
motivo, todos están obligados á defender mútuamente los intereses de los
A. * condoler y aliviar las desgracias; porque lo que sufre y padece un
A. deben conceptuarse que las sufren y padecen todos.

easy. You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose such as creation

from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread
public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state
visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
