TO GUST THE ASSIGNEES
PETITION FILED BY MEMBERS OF
THE MASONIC MUTUAL.
Claim of Mismanagement-I<r ag-Rey-
nOIds Attorney Wants Sale of
Stock Postponed.

Edward and Mary L. Zook, who held GER
tifcates of membership in the Masonic Mu-
tGal Benefit Society of Indiana, which
few days ago went into the hands of two
asignees, yesterday filed petition in the
Circuit Court. requesting that these Of
ficials be removed. The assignees are Har-
old p. Megrew and Irwin Robbins.
The petitioners live in Fulton county. 1t
is claimed that two thousand members of
the society are scattered over the State, and
being unable to come to indianapolis for
the purpose of investigating the affairs of
the society for themselves, the manage
ment of the concern passed into the con-
troll of a few members The petitioners
charge that they have been unable to get
hold of the bylaws of the society. They
complain of Harold p. McGrew, who, as
secretary and general ma mayer, has chiefly
controlled the policy of the society. The
petitioners say Mr. Megrew, when suits
for receiver were brought against the So
ciety. promised them that this litigation
would be defeated and gave them good re-
port of the condition of the concern. The
petitioners declare that unless these reports
were incorrect there was no necessity for
an assignment. Petitioners aver that on in
formation which has come to them they
believe there was nliSmanagement of the
affairs of the society. Judge Allen will not
investigate the allegations of the petition
until next week

III he does, he is guilty under the common
law of committing a nuisance and the in
Jured party has the right to go into court
ana nave the nuisance abated If the IN
Jury IS PUBLIC we have a case at common
law OF pubic nuisance, which may be
aDated by the sovereign power of the
state. Mr.. Winter spoke of the hydraulic
mining case in, California, mentioned by
MI Moores, where the State went into
court to suppress the entire business where
1t confiicted with the public welfare. If
man We're to attempt to fence in a public
highway he would be guilty of a public
nuisance which the State might have en-
Joined. Mr.. Winter cited a Pennsylvania
case where a law was passed prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of oleomargarine.
A dealer was prosecuted He showed that
the material used was pure that the stuff
was harmless and could do no public harm
ard yet the United States Supreme Court
held that the State had the right to de-
termine how far to exercise it's police pow
er, even if that did interfere with alleged
private rights. 1t is for the Legislature to
determine whether a matter comes within
the police power. 1t would be proper for
the Legislature to absolutely prohibit the
drilling of petroleum wells for a given num-
Der of years, just as it prohibits the taking
of fish from the streams and the killing
of game. The penalty clause was made
quate, he said. Their argument amounted to
saying that if they chose to pay the penalty
they might continue to waste the gas, at
the end of each ten days paying the pen
atty. The statute never intended to license
the waste, burt declared it to be unlawful.
The facts stated in the bills, he said, show
why the penalty clause is not sufficient
remedy. The waste of gas, he said, is
public nuisance because the law is being
openly and continuously violated and may
therefore be enjoined.
The court took the case under Amusement.
An early decision is hoped for.
