Do Not Want an Emergency Fund.

At the first meeting of all local
camps of the Modern Woodmen in
December, the proposition to author
ize the next Woodmen national con-
vention to establish some sort of a re-
serve or emergency fund was voted
on. All camps have reported the re-
suit of the vote to the Woodman head
clerk, Major C. w. Halves, at Rock
Island, and he has just made the fol-
lowing announcements:
The emergency or reserve PROPOSE
ton has been defeated. We have not
yet counted the returns but | should
say that the proposition is lost by a
vote of two to one. Not more than
fifty per cent. of the members of the
society voted When the returns
from the local camps are complete, |
think the total vote will show nearly
$50, 900.
What will be the effect of the de-
feat of this measure? Major Halves
was asked.
The immediate effect will be to pre-
vent any action looking to making
provision for the society's future at
the coming national convention Per
sonally never favored a reserve
fund. What is known as "a legal re-
serve" has always been out of the
question in my opinion. But | did
favor an emergency fund; | think
some sort of an emergency fund is a
necessity and the mem bers of the So
ciety. believe, will come to realize
this very soon. However, as the
members are the only ones directly
| concerned and as this vote was in the
nature of a referendum. there will be
no attempt to make any provision for
the society's future until the mem
bers delegate that authority to the
head camp. All things considered. it
is probably just as well that the prop
osition was defeated at this time 1t
will not hurt the society to delay the
matter another two years.
The order is now nearing mem
bership of 100000. Dee l, besides
the 55s.444 members IN good stand
ing there were $4,000 certificates of
members issued on which reports had
not been made. The figures above

came a ring at the bell. Mr.. Bowser

opened the door he found a rather
seedy, middle aged man waiting to
say TO him:
MY dear sir, want a moments

He was admitted in a grudging way,

and speaking in confidential tones, he

TO PROTECT THE UNwARY.
Over Two Hundred Detectives Here
for InnugurntiOn.

Arrangements for the protection of the
city during the Inauguration festivities
by the Police Department are most com
plete In the past history of such occa-
sions plans have not been more perfect.
Only the most competent and experienced
men have been sent here by the various
detective corps of the country, and prac-
ticalIy every important city east of the
Mississippi River is represented. Thirty
six skilled detectives arrived and went on
duty yesterday morning, and ten more
will be here early today.
Under the law, the District government
is not permitted to employ private detec-
tives, but some of the brightest men in
the service of the Pinkertons are in the
city and will prove of value to the police.
Some of them are in the employ of the
Inauguration Committee. while others.
who are to be found around the depots,
are here In the interests of the railroad
companies, these corporations having also
a number of their own private detectives
in the city.
Nearly 100 Secret Service men. under
Chief Wilke, and many postofiice in
spectors, under Chief Inspector Smith,
who have a thorough understanding with
the police. will also cooperate with the
other forces. Two hundred and nifty ad-
ditionaI privates in the police force were
sworn in yesterday morning and will con-
tinue on duty for five days.
The work of swearing these men in was
commenced at s o'clock yesterday morn
ing and was performed by Major Syl-
vester Captain Austin, and CHIEF Clerk
Kemp. who visited the stationhouses for
this purpose. The work was divided be
tween these officers. each being assigned
to certain precincts. These men VIII be
increased by fifty more on Monday morn
ing. and all men will serve for two days.
Detectives from other cities who have
already reported to inspector boardlnah
for duty are:

of here. was killed ten days ago. She was
found in her kitchen with her throat cut
The body was taken to Atlanta, Ga, for
burial and the father returned to Besse-
mer. while the son remained in Georgia
The impression prevailed that the woman
had killed herself, but no reasons for such
i deed could be assigned.
Coroner Parish held an inquest II was
learned tnat the woman had several hun
dred dollars in bank in her own name
and besides this, there were two policies
on her life. The coroners jury today re-
turned q verdict accusing the son of the
murdered woman, and, charging the
father as being accessory to the crime.
the allegation being that the murder was
for the purpose of getting the cash in
bank anG the Insurance money.
The son was arrested in Atlanta. The
elder F'oote was arrested in Bessemer AMI
brought to the county jail here this after
noon. There is much excitement in Bes-
semer. but no effort Will be made to lynch
the Foote's.
