SUIT PAPERS
SERVED ON X. OF c.
To Prevent the Order Using the Orig
inal Member Fund.

New Haven. Conn.,, May 20.-Papers
in an injunction suit were served to-
day on Daniel ColWell, national secre-
tary of the Knights of Columbus, to
prevent the order from using any part
of the Original member" fund of
1851, 900. or the interest thereon, the to-
tai amount involved being about $780,,
900, in the payment of death benefits
or any other way. The case is made
returnable to the June term of the
I airfeld county superior court.
The case is brought by Judge Pat
rick Kane of Bridgeport and others
whose membership dates back prior to
1902. when the present plan of assess
mentsi was adopted. These original
members claim that the s651.00 and
interest thereon, accumulated prior to
1902, should be used only for the benz
eft of those members that contributed
directly to that fund. A similar suit
recently went to the supreme court of
Connecticut, where the plaintiff failed
TO receive any standing in court. and
that suit was decided against him.
