- Where an application to the Secretary of State for a charter for a fraternal beneficiary order in specifying the powers desired recited powers to the incorporators to govern and control the corporation, and the Secretary of State issued a certificate of incorporation purporting to confer such powers, the certificate was not to be treated as conferring charter power on the petitioners for incorporation to control the internal affairs of the corporation after it was organized.
