DIRECT FIRE AT
MANAGER kRAPE
Knights of Globe Society May
Have an Airing in the
Courts.
ABSORPTION is OPPOSED
Many Of Older Members Refuse to
Pay Advance Demanded by New
Company.

Much indignation and dissatisfac-
tion exists among members of the
Knights of the Globe in Rock Island
and vicinity over the reported alb
sorption by the Old Colony Insurance
company of Chicago of the Cosmo-
politan Life Insurance association,
the insurance branch of the knights
of the Globe order. The transfer
of the policies, it is alleged. was
done without the knowledge and con-
sent of the policyholders. and as
result, the members of the order are
bitter in their denunciations of DR..
w. w. Krape. manager of the alb
sorbed company, who is blamed for
the transfer.
Members Here I'm Quanaary.
Rock Island members are in
ouandary as to what steps they
should take. The Old Colony COM
pany offers to reinsure all members
of the absorbed company, but they
will be taken into the new company
at their present ages and not at the
age at which they entered the Cos
mopolitan company. This works
hardship with the older members in
particular, as the Old Colony rates
are high. Many have passed the age
where they can obtain insurance in
any other assessment society and
for this reason will be compelled to
renew their insurance in the Old
Colony company if they wish to car
ry any at all
Only RecOurse Open.
By the terms of the transfer, pol
icy holders in the knights of the
Globe have until Nov ) to deposit
their policies in the head Office of the
order at Freeport, to be transferred
from there to the head Office of the
Old Colony company in Chicago,
where the headquarters of both COM
panies will be maintained. It is
probable that local members of the
Globe order will surrender their pol
icies in order to ascertain what adj
vance in rates will be made by the
Old Colony. If not too excessive,
they will probably reinsure in the
merger company, which is about the
only recourse they have.
wisconsin RevOIIes License.
There has been some talk of legal
steps to annul the transfer. At Be
lott, Wis, a meeting of GO members
was held recently to protest against
the transfer and to ascertain what
legal measures could be resorted to.
The insurance commissioner at Madi-
son has been consulted in regard to
the grievances of the members. Be
fore the transfer took place, the Wis
consin authorities had made an in
vestigation of the affairs of the Cos
mopolitan company and had revoked
it's license because of alleged irregu-
larities. 1t is alleged that two notes
given by Manager Krape to the Cos
mopolitan company aggregating S19,-
600, were uncovered in the investi-
cation. One note of $4,000 was
said TO be secured by a mortgage on
Globe park, but not recorded, and
the other note of $4,000, it is alleged,
was not secured. 1t is said that the
Old Colony company has assumed
these notes as a reimbursement to
Mr.. Krape in lieu of reinsurance
commission.

LANDY'S FATHER
is HEARD FROM
Father of Railroad Victim
Wires from Philadelphia
to Hold Remains.
NO LIGHT AT THE INQUEST
Two Men Who Were With Unfor
tunate When Run Down Can't
BE Located.

Coroner John f. Rose held an in
quest this afternoon over the remains
of Phil I.andy. who died at the hospital
yesterday morning after being run
down by train Sunday evening, and
a verdict of death from injuries sus-
tanned in an accident on the railroad
was returned
The only witnesses examined We're
the driver of the ambulance, several
of the people who were attracted 20
the scene of the accident after the
discovery of the injured man. and the
conductor of a Milwaukee train whic,l
came from the west soon after the
accident and whose train lad to be
stopped until Landy was. removed
from the tracks.
1t is the general opinion that the
man had his feet ground off under the
wheels of the Southwest Limited Of
the Milwaukee road. but the coror -
was unable to get any of the crew
held without them. The conductor
who was examined expressed this be-
lief also.
No Trace of Companions
The two companions of Landy who
were with him at the time of the acct.
dent and who might have shed Some
light on the details. failed to show Gp
for the inquest. although 1t was ex-
pected that they would be there. M
trace of them has been found and t
is supposed that they have gone back
to their work in Fulton.
M. Landy. the father of the victim
of the accident, has wired Coroner
Rose asking him to hold the body until
he receives further instructions. The
father of the dead man lives at Phil
adelphia and it is likely that the re-
mains will be taken there for burial.

some years l noticed no bad effects
from it's use, but in time it began to
affect me unfavorably. My hands
trembled. the muscles of my face
twitched, my mental processes seem
ed slow and in other ways my system
got out of order. These conditions
grew SO bad at last that 1 had to
give up coffee altogether.
