ORDER OF THE IRON Hall,
proceeding for the Discharge OF the
Receiver,

proceeding for the Discharge of the
Receiver.
The final struggle to GUST the receiver ~
the Order Of the Iron Hall and plsce a.,
finances In the hands Of the members Was
oesun yesterday before Judge Winter. in
the superior court at Indianapolis. Recent
~ the order reorganized in conformity with
the nnding of the supreme court. which
helo that proof Of insolvency was the
only ground upon which a receiver could be
appointed. and that with honest officers In
cohtrol or its affairs and the charge of
be vacated.
The plaintiffs are trying to sustain the
receiVership with the argument that the
% o.Ser rs at present insolvent. while the
otner side insists that the condition Of the
order only at the time the suit for receiver
was begun shall be testified to.
The defendants admit that an insolvency
now exists; but hold that it was precipitat-
ed wholly by the disorganization Of the or
ders affairs as result of recent litigation
The fight over this point is very bitter,
and should the court rule that testimony
cial condition at the time the receivership
action was filed II is safe to predict the
ousting of the receiver.
Attorney Hawkins. for the plaintiffs,
spent most of the day in argument
Another point was made in the litigat ton
After the plaintiffs had admitted that the
question OF insolvency shall refer only to
the time when the original action was be-
gun 1t became apparent that they had de-
serted this and fixed their hope upon some
thing else They will now attempt to show
that the membership certificates of the or
der of which there are nearly 10000 are
liabilities in the strictest sense. Judge
Howe, for the other side. claims that they
are not liabilities.
These certificates bind the order to de-
liver 1000 to a member who has paid ten
separate assessments. but the defendants
claim that the supreme court has held that
suit cannot be brought on these certificates,
the penalty being merely a forfeiture Of the
membership. If these certificates are class
ed as liabilities. the receiver is secure; 9th.
erwise the order is solvent.
