Assignment OF Death Benefit Fund by Hei
Father Set Aside by Court.

Frank X. Becker. a Newark jeweller. became
q member OF the Jewellers League OF New
York In 1884 making his wife. Katie. beneficiary
OF the $4,000 due on his death. In 1895 Becker
became an active member with Conrad Hepke
in an anti-Semitic league and obtained SOU
from Hepke to help tho league along. Beck
er's wife died the next year and Becker got
$500 moro from Hepke and assigned to him
the certificate for benefits In tho League Beck =
er died three months after the assignment and
Hepke claimed the whole benent OF $4,000.
Becker left one child. now IA years old.
who since her fathers death has been In an
orphan asylum. Under the constitution OF the
League the managers decided that the fund
must 60 to the daughter regardless OF the
assignment. as the person most dependent
on Becker" As Hepke persisted In his claim.
the league brought action to determine who
was the owner Of the fund. and Juatice Russell
OF the Supreme Court gave a decision yester-
day. The Justice says:
In an organization like the ] ellers' League
1t may be very we'll to allow to a creditor q
beneficial interest In the life OF the deceased
That creditor may have advanced. rs Hepke
partially did in this case. the very sum neces-
sary to continue the provision for death ire
ferrlng to S35 In premiums or assessments
which Hepke paid). but here tho creditors in
terest ceases. The Just motive is for security:
the life or death OF the debtor beyond
this interest is to him no more than
that OF any one else. stranger
might as we'll intervene and gamble
on the chance In which death became the win
ming hazard. 49,
The conclusion Is that justice requires the
payment OF the advances OF 1885 with interest
and that no Iother part be diverted to turn a
benign benefit certificate into q gambling pol
icy OF insurance. and the main portion OF that
fund represented by that certificate goes to the
needy child according to the will Of the father
and the action OF the League. and thus the
change Of beneficiary accomplishes all 1t was
intended for and works no ninstce,"

NEW cow Sc NOTE.
Treasury Department. Receives y Bogus
Bill from New York City.

WAsHISGToN. Aug. 80. Tho Secret Service
Bureau received from Now York this morning
q counterfeit 81 note which is described by the
officials OF the Bureau as a fairly deceptive
reproduction " OF the genuine note. 1t Is a
Treasury note OF the series OF 1901. check
letter D.. b. X Bruce. Register. and Ellis
n. Roberts. Treasurer. and bears the por-
trait OF Mcpherson. 1t was produced by
the photo-etching process. and printed on
soft hbrous paper. The lines In tho back are
produced by means of ink instead OF silk. and
tho Lluo lines OF the original are green in tho
counterfeit. These lines appear mostly on the
back Of tho note. The seal Is dark red instead
OF pink and the whole note has fiat appear
ance. lacking the light and shade effects OF the
genuine paper. The Treasury number 10
printed too heavily and part Of the figures Of
the original number can be discerned under
the rib mum Der OF tho counterfeit.
Taken by itself the note would easily deceive
the ordinary observer. but when compared
with genuine note the discrepancies are seen
easily. Only one note has been discovered and
there is no clue as yet to the counterfeiters.
