PRODUCE EXCHANGE GRATUITY FUND.


The plan which has been drafted by the Gratuity
Committee of the Produce Exchange for the cor
rection of the present gratuity system. and which
is to be voted upon by the members Monday,
is in outline as follows
First-The assessment remains at $3 for all pres
ent members. The graded assessments based upon
the age of subscribers go into effect only with
members admitted after February l. 1900.
Second-Some members will still remain in Glasses
3 and c, but those who can and wish to qualify
themselves may pass into the list of regular sub
scribers provided in the scheme.
Third-In no case will more than fifty assess
ments be levied in any year that pres
ent members the annual cost will be limited to
$50
Fourth-The. proposed plan restores to certif-
Gates, upon the sale of the same whatever gra-
tuity may have accrued There are exceptions
in the case of certificates which benefciaries
have been paid of members expelled, of those
ceased for non-payment of assessments etc
Fifth-When membership certificate for any
of these stated reasons is returned to the starting
point at two-tenths Of a gratuity, the increase IS
at the rate Of one-tenth per year until the limit of
nine-tenths for members is reached. The
middle paragraph page of the amendments
expresses this and does not declare that gratuiues
increase to benefciaries after the death of a
Der. as some have misunderstood 1t to mean.

In attempting to press economic

Marie Defenbach died August Is IN a
room at 80 La Sale avenue alone and
under conditions which the police be-
llieye indicate Q gigantic swindle upon
insurance companies, II they do not
point to murder. Charges Of con-
spiracy, back Of which are allied in
situations Of murder, are lodged
against three men, two of whom are
already in custody. These men will
have to answer allegations of a careful
ly-laid plot to swindle an insurance
company and two insurance societies
"a pot which. it is said, progressed
with the growth Of fear into the actual
death, by poison, it is thought: of the
insured person. According to the the
ory on which the prosecution will pro-
seed the dead person. a young woman
of Chicago, was originally one of the
quartette of conspirators. She had ex-
pected thather death was to be feigned, /,
and that another dead body was to play
the passive role of her corpse; instead
of that. real death came to her.
When Marie Defepbach died there
were three insurance policies on her
life, aggregating $4,000. al! of recent
date, and issued in the following COM
pany and associations: New York
Life Insurance company. $4,000; Ca
madam Order of Foresters. 5000;
