Several reports of the Committee on Claims,
which were adopted by the Supreme Oouncii,
are of local interest. With reference to the
Carley case, of New Jersey, the Grand Regent
was instructed to protect the Interests OIL the
order against claims of rival wives. Tne orlgi-
nal benefit claim in this case was made payable
to Sarah j. Carley, wife. The member claimed
to have obtained an absolute divorce from his
wife in a Colorado Court. On Octo-
ner a 1881. he then married and
attempted to change his certificate to Mary A.
Carley, second wife, making affidavit that MS
certificate was beyond his control, aud renoune-
ing all claims thereto. Attorney for the first
first wife produced a certificate from the Colo
RADIO Court. showing that the decree OF divorce
had been vacated, and the Supreme Secretary,
With annroval Of the Supreme regent, declined to
issue the next certificate. The member died
| January 90, 1893. Both wives now claim the
benefit.
| also of this State, the Supreme Regent was in
| structed to take SUCH steps as may be necessary
to ascertain by judicial determination whlcn
| party was entitled to the claim under the law.
The certificate was made out payable 70 WI

In trust for the members sister, Anna ScanacK-
| euback. Shortly before his death the member
wrote a note to the secretary of his council, re-

| Of so cents, but did not deliver to him the benefit
| certificate nor account for his failure to do SO.
In the light of certain tall decisions In the Courts
| the Supreme Regent did not think he was
authorized to make the payment either to the
| wife or sister of the member. AS to the En-
mons case of this city, the matter was rererreu
| back to the Supreme Regent with power TO act.
Al the brother has renounced The claim, the
| wife will undoubtedly be paid the claim as soon
