DEGREES TOTAL, 1926, 900.
Insurance Mem Assessed for I'M
Dr0per Transactions.

Chicago Nov. 2s-Judgs Kohsaat Of the Federal
Court yesterday gave a decree in favor OF the
Western Life Indemnity Company for 100000
against General George M. Moulton, It's president
and Edward T. Rosenfeid former manager, as wen
a decree for S12500e against William II. Gray,
who preceded Rosenfeld as manager. Judge Kohl
saats ruling was based primarily the proposition
that the three defeH1s1ts failed 70 pay adequate
attention to the protection of the policyholders
In 1905 when the improper transactions took
place, Moulton was major general or the ILLINOIS
National Guard and head OF the Knights Templar
In the United States. 1t in that year that the
knights Templars and Masons' Life Indemnity
Company became the Western Life Indemnity
Company. Gray received S25.000 from Rosenfeld,
practically out of the of the company, to as
sign his contract manager to Rosenfeid- This
held by Judge hohIsaat to be Illegal inasfnucn
as the contract dealt with dduciary position and
so could not be assigned. Gray is now ordered 10
return the amount received.
Moulton got an increase of salary when Rosenfeid
became manager under the Illegal transfer OF
Gays contract to him. the increase being from
$3.50 annually to 10000 annually. Because OF this
increase AIoulton, in Judge Kohlsaats view, shut
his eyes to RosenfeId's operations and permitted
things TO be done which we're against the interests
of the policyholders Judge kohlsaat severely con
denns the breaches Of trust involved
Fosenfeld after succeeding Gray as manager
proceeded TO take $4,000 in assets Of the Western
Indemnity for the ostensbIe purpose Of purchasing
a list of the poIicyholders Of a Pennsylvania IN
surance company. which list was declared value
less With this money IT was declared. Rosenfeld
repaid the S2AOo0 which he had borrowed TO pay
Gray. and then Appropriated the remaining S7e'V9

"BRYAN DANGEROUS AS A buKR. +"

In a speech delivered at Charles
town, West Virginia, Richard Randolph
Mcmahon of Harpers Ferry, who was
deputy comptroller Of the treasury in the
first Cleveland Administration, made
known to his audience what ex-President
Cleveland had said about William Jen-
nings BRYAN IN october, 1900, when Mr..
Cleveland was a guest at Mr.. Mcmahon s
home, jefferson Place, Harpers Ferry,
where the ex-President had gone after
attending the funeral Of William L. Will
son. Mr.. Cleveland, referring to what
had been said by agitators about himself,
said:
'"They are the ones who have changed.
stand TODAY where l did ten, twenty,
thirty years ago for what have always
considered and believed to be true De-
mocracy. 1t is because have not chang
ed and shall not change, by taking up,
adopting and advocating, as part OF the
creed Of Democracy, such radical and
revolutionary theories as are offered to
us, that fault is found with me, as it was
with our dear friend, Wilson, who was
buried in Charlestown today.
''The Constitution, framed by men
whose wisdom and patriotism have been
commended by the universal world, and
under which we have lived as nation
so long, and l think SO happily, seems
wholly unsatisfactory to Bryan. Whether
he would amend it or reconstruct it to
,, suit himself, the Lord alone. knows. He
is not satisfied with the constitutional
method of appointing our Federal judges,
our monetary laws are all wrong, the
gold standard is to be exterminated, men
who were Democrats before he was born
are now ORATORS" because they will not
condone populsm and socialism. All in
all, considering Bryan's solemn avowals
of his fixed purpose to demolish and
destroy whatever does not satisfy HIM
and I know of nothing that does, from
the Constitution down-his vain assump-
tons, his appeals to passion and to
prejudice, his arrogance in his new and
self-constituted role of the leader OF the
Democracy, his nostrums, his quacks
and his demagogism, l regard him as
quite as dangerous an enemy to our
country as was Aaron Burr.
Mr.. Mcmahon, in the speech in which
he quoted Mr.. Cleveland as above, said
This seems to be the proper place and
this the appropriate time for me to make
known what ex-President Cleveland said
to me about the fallacies and nostrums
of William J. Bryan and of Bryan him.

ment of the moral or business interests
of Pittsfield and in his death the town
suffers the loss of one of it's most highly
respected and influential citizens. Mr..
Murray was married in 1867 to Miss Eliza
M. Vose, only daughter of the late Capt.
Edward K. Vose of Knox. Mrs. Muir
