ORDER OF CHOSEN FRIENDS

► . '

talk or ronaoxo a new okganimation IN ILLINOIS.

Adoption of the “Mor»p EquaJlxntlon Finn” of * ln»um n« <- Goneinc Some Comment — Who* Recorder Linn -Snys.

A number of copies of the Chicago Timts-Heraid, cx>ntatnln« an article relating to the alleged condition of affairs In the Order of Chosen Friende, have been circulating during the past three days in this city among members of UUs •asootvtion. The Tlmee-Herald says that far some time post the order has been labeling under financial difficulties, and that a movement la now on foot for the withdrawal of councils, and the eetabllahing In Illinois of a new order, which, while modeled on the old organization, Is to be under a new name, with new officers, and on a new financial basis. The contemplated schism has been. It Is said, hastened by the policy recently adopted by the Supreme Council of the order at the Cleveland meeting, and is based on the following section, entitled the “Morae Equalization Plan,” so-called from the supreme councilor, H. H. Morse, who la its author: “Section 287 A-On the first day of October, 1895, there shall be charged on the relief fund books against every member then in good standing and thereafter against every member to whom a relief fund certificate is issued, such number of assessments t*a» will- realize the full sum af $508 on each -relief fund certificate for |1,000 and pro rata on a certificate for a greater or less sum. and there shall at the same Ume be credited every such member the full amount paid on account Of each assessment prior to said date, and every member shall thereafter be credited Nrtth all assessments paid until such member shall pay the full sum of $500 on a relief fund certificate for $1,000 and pro fata for a greater or less sum.” Under this plan the insurance policies of old members will be reduced one-hair. The Tlmes-Herald Hays the supreme officers' report to the insurance commlsslonecs of the State of New York show claims unpaid December 31, 1894, amounting to •179,000; that during the past eight months claims to the amount of $141,000 have accrued. and that within the years 1*97 old age benefits amounting to $200,W0 will become due. The Chicago members •ay that to this sum must be further fcdded possible death and disability cla-nis, making the amount to be met within the looming two years considerably over half a

million dollars.

Tlie Order In This .City.

The order, which Is purely a mutual life insurance arrangement, has been popular here, and has a large local membership. There Is considerable uneasiness expressed toy members as to the outlook, and the Mors* plan medts with little favor. In some of the councils a number 0( members have withdrawn, and others eay they will not Stand the assessments which are becoming too numerous, seventeen having already been ordered this year. One member expressed himself In this way: “I fear the association is coming to an end. There is little new blood coming Into K, middle-aged men are dropping out, and the old men. are dying off. They wort'compelled to make a new plan. This new arrangement cut* our certificates In two. New members will not come In while aeeessment* are so numerous." T. B. Linn, supreme recorder, says It Is true there will be seventeen assessments before the year Is out. but that next ye** the assessments Will not exceed sixteen, ^The hew plansaid Mr. Linn, “is the plain, straightforward business proposlFlon. We have been running along, paying i certain umounfl for assessments, whether (ho mon^v paid In was much or little. From the organiilng of this aaaoctation in 1179 until now the average amount paid 1H for $1,000 death benefit was $77.10, which [gft $922.90 to be made up by surviving members. We did not think this a fair plan, «* It Increased the number of assessments as the members grew older.

THE TAX CASE COMPROMISE. The Action of the Commtasinner* Untitled By the Snprc-me Court. The Supreme Court, Saturday afternoon, ratified the compromise entered into between the State Board of Tax Commissioners and the Indianapolis Union Railway Company. The suit was the one to enjoin the treasurer of Marion county from collecting certain taxes for the years 1891. 1892 and 1893, claimed to be due fiom the Union Railway Company on its

railroad property.

In affirming the case per curiam, the | Court says: “An agreement has been filed i herein that the Judgment shall be afI firmed on the entry of a remittitur in the j court below for so much of said Judgment | as Is equal to the taxes, Interest and pen- | alties over and above the amount thereof I resulting from a valuation of 12,500,000 • upon the property of the Indianapolis | Lnlon Railway Company, and $1,500,000 I upon the property of the Belt Railway i Company for each of said years, and In i ! addition to the year 1894, In accordance ! with the terms of the modifications of the i assessment of said property made by the !

For some time there have been rumors of Important changes on two of the leading railroads, and the names of several prominent men have been mentioned in connection with them. It is now understood that the first of the year Charles M. Hays will retire from the general managership of the Wabash to take the same position on the Grand Trunk at a salary of $40,000 a year. Mr. Hays has been with the Wabash for many years, beginning in a subordinate position and working himself up until, in 1887, he was made general manager. From the day he assumed charge of the Wabash lines they have shown an increase in earnings. He is what is called a “working general mani ager," and is familiar with everything | that Is going on over the etnire system. It is said that he can locate a culvert or a bridge of a siding at once on any part of the road or its smallest branch, and can turn to any record In the traffic. transportation or any other department. It is understood that when he takes charge of the Grand Trunk there will be

Expense ol the Order.

“It is not true that the expenac of carrying on this institution is getting larger. At our last report, the Order of Chosen Friends had a membership of 38,095, and our annual expense in salaries, etc., for the corresponding time was $76,475.42, or about $8 to the member. Wq paid last year In claims $946,400; the year before w# paid $880,600. On the 28th of September, 1895, w* had ninety-six claims anproved and unpaid ($142,700). four delayed claims ($5,500). eighty-seven claims pending payment ($141,000), making a total of l$7 claims, amounting to $289,000. On August 20, our reported liabilities amounted to $319,400; our total liabilities September 21, to $289,200, showing a decrease of $$0,000. We have full provision made for all unpaid claims, and the money is now being collected on aesers-

matwa."

Recorder Linn was asked what arrangements had been made to meet the old age benefit# which would be falling due la 1198 and 1X97. "We ehall pay them,” was the answer, "by assessments, as we pay death claims.

Mr. King also wrote 16 the Board of Trade and the Commercial Club, asking them to gach appoint a delegate to accompany the commission. It is proposed that the commission shall go to Atlanta by special train. As there is no appropriation for any expense Incurred by the commission, the members will have to pay their own expenses.

One of the most successful teas in the history of the Kindergarten Society was that given this afternoon by the third section at Brenneke's Academy. The tea marked the formal opening of the academy. In the large banquet hall, on the first floor, io* tables, charmingly decorated tn pink and green, and lighted by crystal candelabra, were set. A coffee and chocolate table stood at the side, opposite the entrance. The rest of the first fioor :» occupied by a vestibule hall, where candles were sold, and by a small reception-room and a kitchen.

western system. The Vanderbilts have no use for the Kansas Pacific, as they have no line to Kansas City to connect with it, and besides, the main line of the Union Pacific from Omaha will give them an outlet to Denver, via the Julesburg cut-

off.

With the Union Pacific in control of the. Chicago A Northwestern, the latter will have a direct and independent line from Chicago through Ogden and Salt Lake, with a branch line to Denver. Should the Vanderbilts also be able to keep the .Ogden short line in the Union Pacific they will have independent lines from Now York through to Portland, Ore. The most startling rumor which has lately gained currency is that the Vanderbilts look still further than the acquisition of the Union Pacific and the Oregon Short Line. Their great atm and object is said to be the control of a line through to San Francisco, and to gain this end It is said they are now negotiating with C. P. Huntington with a view of securing control of the Central Pacific branch of the Southern Pacific. , The Car Movement.

of the Terminal Railway Association of St. Louis. Like Mr. Hays, Mr. Ramsey stands high in the railroad world. By profession he is a civil engineer, and was connected with several road* before he was appointed assistant general manager of the Big Four. Soon after he was made general manager of that system. Under his management the Big Four was prosperous, but friction arose, and he resigned to go with the Terminal campany. It was understood that in time he was to be made president of that association. His relations with the St. Louis people

are of the best.

Who will succeed Mr. Ramsey Is not known. There is a report that the place has been' offered to General Superlntende*nt Van Winkle, but this report lacks confirmation. Mr. Van Winkle was sQperintendent of the St. Louis division of the Big Four when Mr. Ramsey was general manager. He resigned, and was appointed general superintendent of the St. Louis Terminal, and when Mr. Ramsey took charge pf the St. Louis lines, Mr. Van Winkle returned to this city as general superintendent of the Big Four. General Superintendent Van Winkle Is at Marion to-day and could not be seen. Other officials of the Big Four say that they do not believe that Mr. Van Winkle will be appointed or that he wants the place. There will b« a fight made for the place by two or three lines. The Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern is particularly anxious to be represented, and so is the Bis- Four. It is understood that President Ingalls, of the Big Four, will urge William Greene, now general manager of the Big Four, for the place. The Missouri Pacific would also like to have one of Its men in charge. There is also some talk of Superintendent Garrett be-

*ng promoted.

VANDERBILT* AND THE V. P. The Plan of Reorganisation—The Probable Control. Chicago, October 14.—The Tribune says: Ever since the famous traffic contract was made between the Union Pacific afcd the Chicago & Northwestern railroads, whereby the former secured the right to dictate the through rates from the West to Chicago and the latter the through rates from Chicago to points on the Union Pacific west of Omaha, rumors have been current that the Vanderbilts would sooner or later secure full control of the Union Pacific property. A plan for the reorganization of the Union Pacific is now In course of preparation and the preliminary steps already taken indicate beyond a doubt that when the Union Pacific gets qut of the hands of receivers It will be controlled and operated by the Chicago St Northwestern, which Is one of the Vanderbilt .roads. The reorganisation committee, wnich has just been announced, has among its members Chauncey M. Depew, preside.it of the New York Central, and Marvin Hughitt, president of the Chicago & Northwestern. These two able lieutenants of the Vanderbilts will no doubt be able to control the other members of the committee, who are mostly presidents of trust companies holding Union Pacific se-

curities.

It is believed the Vanderbilts now hold a majority of the Union Pacific securities. At one time Jay Gould held % controlling Interest in the Union Pacific, and this, :t i* said, has been absorbed by the Vandarbllts. A deal is said to have been made between Georg* Gould and the Vanderbilts whereby the fenner Is to have control of the Kansas Pacific, which la to t e operated by the Missouri Pacific, while

WITH ELEVEN JURORS. The Springer Damage Snlt Proceeding—One Juror Dismissed. Just after the attorneys had made the opening argument in the Springer damage suit Saturday, the lawyers for the defense charged that one of the jurors, John H. Sterns had some little time before the last trial expressed an opinion as to the merits of the case, and that he was not fitted to become a juror. In support of this they introduced a witness to whom Sterns expressed his opinion. Sterns denied having the conversation and reiterated his statement that he had never discussed the case or formed an opinion. Judge Brown suspended the case until this morning, and dismissed the offending Juror. Saturday afternoon the attorneys of both sides got together and decided to try the case before eleven Jurors.

DISTRESSING DISEASES

The Government Is ready to proceed with the trial of Schuyler C. Haughey at 9 o'clock to-morrow morning. All during this morning strange men went to the office of the United States marshal and said that they had been summoned as jurers. There are sixty-one of them. Their names were taken and they were excused until to-morrow morning, whsn they were told to report in the United States District Court room. District Attorney Burke says that all of the Government witnesses have been summoned to appear to-morrow morning. Th* attorneys to the case for the Government are Frank B. Burke, United States district attorney; Edwin Corr, assistant United State* district attorney, and John W. Kern, special assistant by appointment; for the defense, John 9. Duncan, Smiley N. Chambers and Albert J. Beveridge. It is expected that the trial will last three weeks, perhaps four. It is not improbable that when the defense begins to put in its evidence, Theodore P. Haughey will be brought down from the prison at Michigan City to testify in his son's behalf ' Th© Indictment. The indictment against Schuyler C. Haughey consists of forty-eight counts. It was returned by the United States grand jury Ini the November term. 1392. The document begins by setting forth tho charges against the father of the defendant, Theodore P. Haughey, and follow* this by finding that Schuyler C. Haughey did “aid and abet the said Theodore P. Haughey. president, as aforesaid, to wrongfully, unlawfully and feloniously misapply the moneys, funds and credits of said association In the aforesaid sum of, to-wlt. $7,840.76.’’ Th* eecond count charges the misapplication of $9,036.66. The third count is similar to the second. In the fourth oount the Indictment finds that Theodore P. Haughey did misapply the funds of the bank in the sum of $200,000 to the credit of the Indianapolis Curled Hair Company, by permitting the curled hair company to overdraw its account with the bank on worthless checks, the said T. P. Haughey knowing that tho checks were of no value and that the curled hair company was insolvent. It Is further found that Schuyler C. Haughey aided and abetted T. P. Haughey In this wrongful, unlawful and felonious misapplication of the funds. The fifth count charges the misapplication of $250,000 in the same manner as charged in the fourth count, this sum being paid to the Indianapolis' Glue Company, Schuyler C. Haughey aiding and abetting in the transaction. From the fifth to the twentieth counts of the indictment is a reiteration In other forms of the findings in the fourth and fifth. It Is particularly set forth that in order to make it appear that the sums of money mentioned had not been loaned tc the Indianapolis Glue Company and the Indianapolis Curled Hair Company, T. P. Haughey accepted the promissory notes of John F. White, Charles Geist, E. L. Couper, A. P. Spruance, F. Strassner, Schuyler C. Haughey, L- C. Haughey and others In various amounts, when tn truth and In fact no ona of the parties received any sum whatever for said notes, but the said sums were the debt of the glue company and the curled hair company. The next six counts find that the curled hair company was allowed to overdraw various sums aggregating $33,991.53, although T. P. Haughey knew the company to be Insolvent. The FnUe Entries. The twenty-eighth count finds the first false entry to the individual ledger of the bank, on page 921 of the book, said entry bring to the following figures,, “Sae.eTB," and which purported to show that the glue company had deposited in the bank the surd of $3,356.75, and was entitled to credit tdr the same. It 1* found that T. P. Haughey knew this entry to be false and that S. C. Haughey did aid and abet in the transaction. From this on to th* forty-seventh count of th* Indictment particular instances of false entries mad© by T. P. Haughey are charged. The false entries referred to credited the glue company with $19,687.19, the curled hair company with $21,970.16, and himself with $9,000. In all of this It Is charged that Schuyler C. Haughey aided. The forty-eighth count finds that a false statement as to the condition of the bank was made by T. P. Haughey, and that S. C. Haughey aided and abetted the falsifying of the report, the date being. July 12, 1893. The remaining two counts in the Indictment are reiterations of the forty-eighth count. The last paragraph but one charges that on July 12, 1893, there was due the bank a much larger sum than 10 per cent, of the capital stock, to-wlt: The Indianapolis Cabinet Company was liable for the sum of $300,000; the Indianapolis Glue Company was liable for $200,000; the Curled Hair Company was liable for $250,000; the National Electric Company was liable for $33,000, and that Schuyler C. Haughey did aid and abet T. P. Haughey "to wrongfully, unlawfully, willfully and feloniously to make said false entries, contrary to the form of the statute of the United States, to such case made and provided, and against the peace and dignity of the United States of America.”

Rose filed a suit for a divorce this morning from John A. Rose, on the j ground of cruel and inhuman treatment. [ They were married in 1872.

CHARGES AGAINST GROVES.

Formerly Mnuagrer of An Inauranc* Company—What H« ferny*.

William H. Groves, the former general manager of th* Philanthropic Diauranco Company, who was arrested on Saturday, at the Instance of the company, charged with making out an application for a policy without the consent of the person insured, claims that his arrest w as caused simply to stave off the Investigation which he had Instigated' into the affaire of th© company. Groves was general manager of the company for several : months this summer, and left its employ on the 14th of September. He charges that its business is not bein* preferly conducted. He secured fne signatures of fifteen members or policy-holders, as pro- | viddd by law, and demanded an investlga- j tion by the Secretary of State. Later It < was discovered that several of the persons who had signed th© petition had ceased paying their does, and were, according u> j the rules of the company, no longer mem- | hers. This stopped the Investigation pro- i

ceedings.

Saturday Grove* was arrested, charged I with issuing an application for a policy { on the life of John Whitaker, colored, without hi* knowledge or coneent. Whit- ; aker had been insured in another Indus- j trial company, and other members Of hia family were insured in the Philanthropic. Groves called to see If he could not get the Insurance transferred to his company, but did not see Whitaker. Whitaker’s wife, Groves says, desired the change and received the application. , Groves called & week later and the wife said that her husband had told her to do as shs pleased about transferring the Insurance. Groves made out the appll- > cation, and as neither Whitaker nor his wife could write, signed It himself. The j application was received at the office, the policy issued, and. the premium paid on It regularly by Whitaker, according to Groves’s statement. Groves will have a hearing on Thursday. He saya that on his release he will prosecute hi* Investigation against the company with the utmost vigor. He thinks that he will have no difficulty whatever In securing his release from the Charge on which he Is held.
