IRON HALL AFFAIRS.
They are Getting Tangled Up-sundry Re-
ceivers-A Sensation.
Az telegraph b the DIspatch. J

INDIANAPOLIS. IND, August 23.-Ibe af-
fairs of the order of the Iron Hall are get
ting very much tangled. The court here
to day appointed James F. Failey, of this
city, receiver Of the order, fixing his bond
at Si,0O0,O0O.
Supreme Cashier Davis testified that he
notified the officials of the order six
months ago that unless Somerby inaugn-
rated o reform IN the management OF the
affairs of the order 1t would surely fall
into the hands of receiver. He also
stated that at the last meeting of the SUI
preme sitting he charged Somerby within
Irregularities and mismanagement.
In Baltimore Judge Dennis appointed
Charles j. Wiener and Joseph G. France
receivers of the order. They will admin
lister on $l35, 900 of the funds still remain
ing IN Maryland. The officials of the order
gave consent to their appointment.
In st. Louis 1900 local members of the
Iron Hall adopted resolutions endorsing
the order and agreeing to pay ell assess
ments and to support Cnief-Justice
Somerby. The sensation of the meeting
was the speech of Deputy Supreme Chief
Justice Badger. He charged Supreme
Cashier Davis and Supreme-Accountant
Wilkes with endeayorlng TO wreck the
order. He charged Davis with instigatlng
the numerous suits, and said further that
in the matter of sending money to the aid
of the now wrecked PhIladelphia bank
Somerby's opposition to the plan was
strong, but that DAVIS overruled him.
