Deputy Grand President of the Eagles Issues a Circular That Makes the Attitude of The Order Plain.

VIOLATION OF BOTH THE STATE AND ORDER'S LAW Action Grows Out of the Recent Raid of the Lodge Rooms in This City Action Taken at Fort Wayne. As a result, of the raid mad by the local police on the Eagles' club rooms f week ago last Sunday, in which tint o gambling machines, nuihcrous poker chips and a. large quantity of various linds of booze- were captured. Herbert II. Evans 01 New Castle, deputy grand president of the fraternal order of Eagles, lias addressed a circular to 1h'! f:eries in his district, which includes the Richmond aeri strictly forbidding j the sale of intoxicants or gambling in J any form in Eagles' lodge rooms or club rooms. In the circular, one of which lias just t:n received by the local aerie, Mr. Uvans calls attention to the laws of the order which prohibit the sate of in toxicants or having gambling paraphernalia in the lodge or club rooms. Mr. Evans in this communication notoa that the police of Richmond recent Iv raided the local Ragles' club rooms, Hnding intoxicants and gambling devices. Mr. Evan warn the aeries genera Ily in bin district .4 hat. if in the future emeu conditions are disclosed by inflection, the forfeiture of charter will lollow. Mj Evans states that, this action will be taken in order that no discredit may fall on the order. Officially Discredits Report. IP is understood that the purpose of Mr. Evans in issuing this circular was to officially discredit the report tint after the. raid made on the local Katies' club looms numerous aeries Throughout the state bad written to the Richmond aerie extending sympathy and offering to financially aid the local aerie in fighting the action of the Richmond authorities through the courts. In his circular Mr. Evans poiuts out between the lines that it is not only a violation of the state law to permit gambling and the sale of intoxicants In. Eagle club rooms and lodges, but also a violation of the laws of the order. The action taken by Mr. Evans will probably result in the members of ! the lot;al aerie deciding not to contest i in court the action of trie authorities of this city. OBJECT TO COERCIVE LAWS. United German Societies &t Ft. Wayne Take Action. Ft. Wayne. Ind., Nov. 10. The United German societies of Ft. Wayne have adopted by unanimous vote, resolutions pledging members not to support candidates for office who have not pledged themselves to resist the further enactment of what they' call "coercive laws" regarding the observance of Sunday and the regulation of saloon. , The German Alliance of Ft. Wayne, is a union of most of the German socioties of the city. It is a member of the state federation of German socio-; ties or Indiana and the state federation i belongs to the National German Alii-. ance which recently held its national convention in New York. It. claims a membership of a million and a hr If , citizens of G,ermun or of German de- j Bcent. in the forty states. Say They Are Not Anarchists. The statement resents the accusation that those who favor a free Sunday are anarchists and seriously contends that statutes are not law unless they are in accord "with public sentiment and existing conditions." It !s Bet forth that Sunday laws came dowu through the Puritaus who caught their spirit from Calvin and Knox, who stood for the union of church and utate. These laws, the statement Kays, are not in accord with the constitution of the United States. "Sunday legislation," it continues, "is church legislation, which may have its place within the respective church organizations but not in state legislation." Candidates to Be Sounded. In conclusion, the statement says that lb United German societies will, "before the primaries, investigate the position of the candidates in regard to Sunday laws. It will not support candidates who ar fcr a rigorous enforcemeut of the Sunday laws, and in this it Is In harmony with the majority of the Inhabitants of Ft. Wayne. For this purpose it will combine with organizations such as the Irish and the FrankoAmericans, also with such organizatlons consisting of American-born citi - NOI -which likewise do not believe -n ih nfcrcement of medieval coercive grw V
