RATE WAR ON
$4,000 Pennsylvania Policy
Holders May Leave the
Royal Arcanum

PHILADELPHIA, July 13, 1905
Steps which may lead to the disruption
of the Royal Arcanum. one of the great
est fraternal organizations in the eoun-
try, were taken at meeting of represen-
tatiyes of 25,OO0 Pennsylvania holders
yesterday. Since the action of the Su-
preme Council of the order in Atlantic
City last May, increasing the assess
ments of members 40 years old or more,
trouble has been brewing, and the meet
ing today, which was arranged by Will
liam Wilhelm, of Pottsvile, Pa, was the
elimination of the dissatisfaction.
1t was decided to arrange for a special
meeting of the Grand Council of Penn
sylvania, at which move will be made
looking toward cooperation with the
Grand Councils of other States for call
ing special meeting of the Supreme
Council to rescind the action of the May
meeting in regard to the increase in the
assessments. Should the movement to
have the special meeting of the Supreme
Council rescind its action fail, it was said
that 10000 of the 1000 members of the
order in Pennsylvania will withdraw and
form separate organization. 1t was
said at the meeting that the increased
payments to be required of members
more than 40 years old was designed to
drive out Of the order members who had
been in the organization for many years
and were largely responsible for its pres
ent prosperity.
In order to obtain special meeting
of the Grand Council it is necessary that
the request should be signed by twenty
FIVE councils of the 9sate and this num-
Der was represented at the meeting yes
terway. To force Grand Regent r. B.
Wickersham to call a special meeting Of
the Supreme Council, it is necessary that
the grand councils of seven States join
in the request. and those in attendance
at the meeting expressed themselves as
confident this number could be easily
obtained
A committee Of seven was appointed
by the chairman, William Wilhelm, to
draft a SET Of resolutions, which were
adopted.
The resolutions, after affirming the al
legiance of the members to the order and
declaring that the increase in the rate is
unjust urged that a committee be ap-
pointed which shall obtain the approvil Of
at least twenty-five councils in this iuris-
diction and present them to the grand
regent, f. B. Wickersham. with to re-
quest that he call special me.fing OF
the Supreme Council.
The resolutions also urge that mem
bers retain their membership until Octo-
Der |. in the hope that the rate may be
restored.

TRENTON, July 10. 1905. -oOmmis-
sioner Wight, of the Department. OF
Charities and Corrections, having I'm
ished his preliminary investigation OF
state institutions, is now visiting and
looking into the management of our
county lunatie asylums. The State hos
pitals regard these county institutions
with some doubt and disfayor, but Com
missioner Wight believes they are serving
a good purpose. In the first place they
are convenient to the class of patients
who are treated therein and to their rela-
tives and friends who can visit them
without much expense and loss. of time.
In the second place. the FreehoIders,
who know about every person in the
county, can tell whether those seeking
admission are proper subjects for the
kind of public support. There are two
classes of patients who are appropriately
cared for in these county asylums-the
temporary insane, whose minds have lost
their grip through typhoid fever or other
cause, and who merely need rest and
care until they recover, and the chronic
incurables. 1t is pointed out that those
VINO need scientific treatment, with
prospect of ultimate recovery as a re-
suit of such treatment, should go into
State institutions, where they can have
the best services New Jersey can render.
There is reason to suspect, DR.. Wight
thinks, that the hospitality of the Suate
has been imposed upon in some of these.
county asylums. There is a temptation
ITO heartless children or grandchildren TO
unload their dependent old parsnts or
! grandparents on tlle State and county in
these asylums, a temptation which rot
all have been able to resist When these
old people become naturally feebls N
mind and body and their children want to
get rid of the bother and expense of TAX
ing care of them, it is easy. under the
present system, to obtain their commit
ment TO the coanty asylum. A little
management. a little pull" the com
plaisance of the family physician and
friend and the trick is done. In many
cases the only insanity in thess old peo-
pie is the childiShness and crankiness
that age and its infrmiEies produce. The
State pays 81 week for every patent
committed TO these county asylun1s. AID
the expense is rapidly growing and be-
coming burdensome.
DR.. Wight thinks the,sysitem of obtain

be appointed to pass upon all applications

Wayne, to biganly, forgery, larceny and
Obtaining money under false pretenses.
At the time of attaining his m3josity,
Brugler, WHO is u years old started on
criminal career, which may confine him
behind the bars during the greater por-
zion Of his life if the string Of victims
which he has left behind press their
grievances against him.
It is known to the authorities that
Brugler has a wife for each year OF his
majority, and the other victims who are
coneeafng their mix-ap with the Lotha-
rio because of the notorious facts in cos
nection with his operations, may send the
total number of wives up to dozen.
From each of his victims he secured tiier
morey and iewelry and deserted them
after enjoying brief honeymoon, ra.s.ng
money from their friends on forged
Slnr.ks to PAY the bills.

cure him for trial Detective Ellis II.
Parker of Mount Holly, traced Brugler
to the West, where his photograph was
extensively circulated. By this he was
recognized although being bald-headed
as the result of having had his head
shaved. It was expected that Brugler
would be turned over to the authorities
here, but the case. against him at Fort
Wayne was clear, and he was tried and
convicted.
Brugler's first wife was Miss Flory
Trexler, of fiPhiladelphia, who was grant
ed divorce during last month. The last
wife, 50 far as known, is Miss Mar

The meeting of the representatives of

canum in Hudson County at Columbia
Hall last night was rad-hot one, and
the temperature Of the weather was not
alone responsible for the heat. Quite a
large element appeared to be in favor of
seeeding from the order at large and
forming State society. There are
nearly twenty-five thousand members in
the State. No definite action looking to-
ward such a proposition was taken at
hast nights meeting, however, but the
unanimous decision to appoint commit
tee to investigate the case and the ad
Visibility of securing an injunction from
the United States Courts restraining the
Suprerne Council from putting into exc
cutfons the increased rate of assessment
at the recent session of the Supreme
Council affecting the older members of
the order. The motion to appoint such q
committee was made by John r. Gallag-
her, Of West Shore Council, who has
been leading in this county in the fight
now being waged against the increased
rate of assessment The motion passed
with huIrah, and Mr.. Gallagher, John
]. Erwin and ]. G. Enright was ap-
pointed as the committee which is to
report on the subject at the next meeting,
to be called by the chair.
Another important feature of the meet
ing was the appointment of a committee

sented in the shape of letter received
by William Koester. of Bayonne Council
a somewhat fiery discussion arose as to

SOS h0t that that part of the subject was
laid on the table and the committee will

the establishing of State society, in

nothing that would compromise tine ef-
