been much cutting OF prices and consequent
loss of profits.
The FIRST efforts OF tho syndicate were
devoted to obtaining options on the various
plants. These were secured In most cases,
but they expired before the intending pnr4
chasers were ready to act. A new set Of

LODGE TREASURER SHORT.
Discovery Leads to Complications at
ST. CIOuJ

ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Jan. 10.-The an
n"uncement made in this city late Sat
urday afternoon to the effect that the
receiver Of A. o. U. w. Lodge No. GO
was short in hs accounts, created
much excitement among the members
of that order. D. W. Harding, the re-
ceiver, who was accused of being short
a sum of 1926. being assessment No. II
and relief call No. 9, was on the car
pet. The entire lodge, numbering more
tran 200 in membership, was suspend
ed for the reason that the receiver had
not RENTED the sums stated
The announcement that the lodge
was no longer in good standing in the
order was the cause for special meet
ing Saturday evening, at which time
it was discovered that Harding was
short The members consisting of
Workmen almost exclusively were in
great distress over the announcement
as the insurance carried in that order
was, in many instances, all that was
carried at all, and as the matter stood
should death have occurred, nothing
could have been collected by the heirs
Harding was at home, sick. and could
not appear at the investigation, but his
bCndsmen made good the shortage and
at 9:45 Saturday evening Grand Re
corder Olson, of Willmar, was tele-
graphed that the amount had been
made up and would be forwarded by
the first mail. This will again place
the lodge on a footing with other
lodges. Harding has been expelled
from the order. 1t is said that the
shortage has occurred within sixty
days in its entirety, and that his &C
counts were so arranged that the pc
culationS could not be2disGOvered.
