of 20 councils of the Royal Arcanum
in New Jersey, including nearly all the
organizations of the order in the coun-

Grand Council of New Jersey petition
the Supreme Council to reconvene be-
fore Oct. I, the date on which the new
rates go into effect. and abandon that
schedule. A committee of Is will be
appointed to carry on the fight.
In advocating a return to the old
rate schedule it was generally agreed

the finances an additional assessment
at the old rates might be made at
stated periods. such as once each quar-
ter. Under this plan with 100000 men,
bership, s1,200.0OO would be raised the

To Be Looked for in Re-
mains Of Mrs. Carlton.
Husband Under Arrest at Brook
Iyn on Suspicion.


New York. July 1.-THE body Of Mrs.
Mary German Carlton. the second wife
of Frederick +. Carlton of Brooklyn.
| who died of lockjaw. II to be exhumed
and subjected to examination for traces
of poison.
An order to this effect was signed.
today. by Supreme Court Justice Sew
ell. in Brooklyn. upon the request OF
District Attorney John +. Clarke. OF
Kings county. Carlton Is now In Ray
mond street jail.
Carlton said. today. that he well
coined the order which directed that
his wife's body be exhumed, as II
would result in quieting once for all 10
the effect that she. as well as a for
mer wife, died of poison. Both women
died of tetanus not long after they had
been married to Carlton. Each had
been insured in favor Of Carlton.
When the man was arrested. about a
week ago, on n technical charge OF va
grancy, stories regarding the manner
Of his wives deaths began to circulate.
He was released on 5000 bail at that
time and readily presented himself
when his case again came up in court.
This time, however, a charge of grand
larceny preferred by young man
with whom Carlton had roomed, was
lodged against him and his bail was
increased to $4,000 He was unable to
furnish sureties and has been in Jail
since that time.
The Brooklyn police announce, today,
that young woman with whom Carl
ton had lived just before his arrest is
under surveillance and that she will
be questioned regarding several let
ters. signed by her which were found
in Cartons possession. One of these
letters implored Carlton to write to
her.
"Why in Gods name don't you write
to rle?" the letter asked. II am heart
sick at your delay. I have been up to
meet every New York mail. Dearest, IL
you DON'T write to me very soon. you
may have to collect my life insurance.
1t looks as if things were going to
turn out just as Bradley said. You
know he said you would tire Of me in a
little while. Fred, for Gods sake. don't
let it come true, as l will go crazy.
You know what you left in my care"
The writer of the letter spoke of her
arm paining her SO that she felt it
necessary to lie down and rest for the
afternoon. The police say they will
question the woman at the proper time
regarding the pain in her arm to which
she referred. They also are anxious o
learn, they say. what it was that Carl
ton left in the writer's care. They be-
lieve also that the young woman may
be able to throw some light on the
whereabouts of hand satchel. which
disappeared from Cartons room after
his arrest.
