IN THE HANDS OF A SHERIFF.
The Peoples Five Year Benent Order in
Trouble

The Peoples Five Year Benefit order
was enioined last Saturday and placed in
the hands of a sheriff pending the petition
for the appointment of a receiver. One
after another the various endowment or
ders have gone TO the wall, and although
the Peoples Five Year was the biggest
concern of its kind and the oldest in Mas
sachusetts. there have been rumors for some
time past Of alleged mismanagement on
the part of the supreme officers, and Of
eXtravagant expenditures of money for
outside purposes.
Like the Order of the Iron Hall, it is
said to have transacted much Legislative
work, ' professedly i'm the interests of the
order, and It's imperial commander on
many occasions at meetings of fraternal
endowment men was wont TO tell of the in
fiuence the order possessed. not only by its
large membership but by its power in de-
feating legislation that would prove detri-
mental TO its interests. Immense sums of
money have been paid out TO its agents.
and the cost OF getting business during the
past year or two is said TO have been enor-
nous. Its rent for Offices its commissions
to deputies, its salaries to supremes its eX-
penses for travelling and legislative pur-
poses. have. 1t is alleged been a drain up
on its resources Whether anything has
been done of fraudulent nature remains
10 be proven.
When its last report was made this or
der had a membership Of l6.2Sj. and its
liabilities are alleged TO be Ss.O44. POO.
This order was the first of the kind to be-
established in Brattleboro. It has lag
members here, to whom $1,000 or $1,000
has been distributed in sick benefits. The
larger part of the members have paid in
about 500 each. The members of the or
der, both here and elsewhere, claim TO be
confident of the solvency OF the order and
the supreme officers claim to court the full
est investigation. However, the proceed
ings to appoint receiver and the financial
showing of the order when examined will
be watched with much interest.
