FEssEs THAT HIS ACCOUNTS
ARE SHORT.

PORT HURON, Mich, Nov. &c. B.
Thompson, of this city, supreme finance
keeper OF the Supreme Tent, Knights OF
the Maccabees, is a self-confessed default
ter in the sum Of $1,000.
The shortage is acknowledged in the
following letter to D. p Markcy, supreme
commander CT the order:
ITO D. p. Marley, Supreme Commander.
Knights OF Maccabees:
1T is with a feeling of distress and
shame that tender herewith my resigna-
ton as supreme finance keeper of the
order of which you are the head. And
this step Is taken with a bitter realization
that 1 am no longer worthy OF the COM
partnership and association of my fellow
officers. 1 have held the position since the
order was founded, have during most OF
that time been officially associated with
the present supreme officers and never I'M
til now did in any way betray my trust
1 was engaged in a legitimate business
venture in which 4 had made large IN
vestment and found myself In position
where more funds was necessary to save
myself from bankruptcy and ruin.
There was apparently no chance for
loss 1 then betrayed my trust and used
the funds of the order at the time be-
lieving there was no question OF my abll-
ity to replace them within a short time.
The amount used was $57 900. / have no
hope Of being able to repay this amount.
know the order is protected from loss by
the surety bond of nearly twice the
amount improperly used, but this does not
lessen my mental suffering nor relieve
me from the disgrace Of having betrayed
the confidence rreposed in me-. Nothing
that may occur can increase the fortunes
which 1 have suffered and am still sur
fering. 1 can only await such action as
NAV be taken and abide the consequences,
mo punishment can be greater and no
suffering so intense as that resulting from
the loss of respect and esteem OF the
membership of the order and the suffering
caused to my family. 49,
