WILL REOPEN THE CASE
KRAG-REYNOLDs INVESTIGATION TO
BE TAKEN UP TOMORROW.
Suit to Set Aside the Preferences i'm
the CIune Assignment-Di-
vorce Suits FGIed.

Wednesday morning the investigation into
the affairs of the KragReynolds Grocery
Company is to be re-opened in the Circuit
Court Yesterday morning Judge Allen made
an order requiring the Western Union Tele-
graph Company to produce the kilograms
which passed between members of the in
solvent grocery company and its attorneys
Hord & Perkins, about the time of the as
signment. These kilograms are supposed to
have been sent between Dec. q, 1897, and
Jan. 2, 1898. Some of the kilograms went
to New York. The order requiring the tee-
graph company to produce copies of the tel
egrams was made at the request of the
attorney for Assignee Reagan, it being
claimed that these kilograms may throw
some light on the alleged fraudulent trans
fer of property.
In making the order yesterday Judge
Allen instructed the Western Union Com
pany to have the kilograms in court this
morning. Later in the day a representative
of the company called on the court and
stated it would be impossible to produce the
messages to-day, as it would take some time
to look them UP. There was some doubt ex-
pressed yesterday as to whether the court
could compel the company to show up the
kilograms

GREAT CROWDS ATTEND
WOODRUFF PLACE .FEAST OF LAM
TERMS" PROVES A BIG SUCCESS.
Park Transferred Into a Sea of Vari-
COlOred Light-PersOnaI and
Social Notes.

The Woodruff Place section of the Free
Kindergarten surely feels repaid for the
thrice prepared and twice postponed feast
of lanterns for last night, when 1t was
finally given, there was perfect weather,
and If there was anyone who did not attend
the fete it is not recorded. When dusk
time came the people began to pour through
the gates, and for time carriages were
blocked from the gates to Massachusetts
avenue on Tenth street. Hundreds went
out on bicycles. other hundreds walked, the
street cars were filled, and not a few small
boys waived ceremony and climbed the fence.
The lantern decoration was elaborate, and
each house was decorated after it's own
style. Governor Mount had two tremendous
flags, scores of small ones, ana lanterns
everywhere. The clubhouse had ropes of
lanterns from the ground to the top peak.
Judge Ayress house was handsome, and
many others were bright and gay with the
lanterns. The walks and drives were
crowded. Under striped tents were pretty
maids and matrons serving lemonade or
candy Under larger tents or out under the
stars were numerous chairs where people
might sit and be served to ice cream.
The clubhouse was a favorite place. There
an orchestra played for dancing. At the
center fountain, which was decorated from
the rim to the tiny top basin, the 1. of u.
band gave concert In another part of
the park there was singing. 1t is impossible
to know how much money was realized or
how many people were present. There were
more than ten thousand lanterns. and it
seemed there was at least a person for
every lantern, although this may be too
liberal an estimate. Whatever the number,
the feast of lanterns was a grand success
from every point of view, and Mrs Car
nahan and Miss Huey, heads of the Sec
ton, and every individual in Woodruff
Place who contributed to making the place
so attractive deserves the greatest COM
mendation, not only for the effort for the
charity which is to be benefited, but for
providing so much pleasure for those at
tending,

After hearing the evidence of several peo-
pie familiar with the affairs of Merchant

bring suit to set aside the mortgages. The
main question was whether the preferences

that the mortgages were given after Mr.
Clune had taken certain steps in reference
TO the assignment.
The insolvert merchant admitted he had
reported his assets to the commercial
agencies as amounting to 600 over his
Indebtedness. He said the Worlds Fair"

MANY L. A. w. IN INDIANA
BANNER DIVISION OF THE ORGANI-
ZATION is IN THIS STATE.
Indianapolis Has 1902 Members
Work of the 1898 Meet CIub-souve-
mir PrOgra mme and LeaE cts.

The Indiana division of the League OF
American Wheelmen has been banner di-
vision in point of increase of membership
ever since the people of Indianapolis started
out a year ago to get the 1898 national meet.
When the delegation of boomers went TO
Philadelphia to attend the 1897 meet there
were less than 1000 members of the l.. A.
w. in the State, 167 of whom were in Indian
apolis. At Philadelphia the promise was
made that Indianapolis would double up her
membership and the promise was fulfilled,
the rolls reaching the point required last
February.
Since the war came on the membership
in most States has gradually fallen off. This
is partly because of league members who
are in the army and partly on account of
the general falling off of interest in wheel
ing matters. But throughout this period the
Indiana division has enjoyed a healthy in
crease 1t has been slow. but it has been
considered fortunate that no falling off was
noticed. Last week, however, the slump
came and 115 members fell out by failing to
renew their tickets. This is the first falling
off since the promise made at Philadelphia.
The total membership in the State is still
safely above the point it was promised to
reach. There are now about 1900 members
in the State, 200 of whom are women. Of
these women about twenty-five live in In
dianapolis. OF the total membership, LOOP
are residents of indianapolis. The oldest
member in the division is S. d. Kingsbury,
of Indiana polls, whose ticket number is 1872
The next oldest member is w. G. Eberhart
of Madison, whose number is 217.
The big falling off in the membership last
week has caused Chief Consul Sherwood TO
adopt general plan Of campaign to recruit
the division up to the largest possible mem
bership. Recruiting committees are being
appointed in every city and town where
there are league members. The first APP
pointments were made yesterday and the
committees will serve until July 9. Then
others will be appointed to succeed them.
The first committee for Indianapolis is made
up of the following ten members: Ben l..
Webb, George r. Golfer, J. l.. Greenleaf,
George A. Powell, Charles w. Moores, Mer-
rll Moores, Ira M. Holmes, Henry j. Span,
T. V. Page and Herman Goth. personal
letter is being sent to each member of these
committees urging that a special effort be
made at this time to secure new members.
