URGE FUNERAL
BENEFIT FUND At

State Counselor Day, at Annual
Session, Protests Against
Side Issues.
Especial to the Newark start

49, ~ h0 NC''h 0fofFI
TRENTON, Oct. 27.-State Counssllog
Grafton E. Day, of the New Jersey u.
o. u. A. M, in his annual address to
the State Council today, advocated
some action on the part of the council
that will bring about consolidation OF
the council and the funeral benefit as
ISOLATION of the order. This recom-
mendation was prompted because, as
Mr.. Day said, of trouble that had
arisen in the past q of refusal
of the association to pay benefits Of
Jr. O.. u. A. NJ. members who have
died. He admitted that the associa-
ton has always advanced reasons for
non-payment of claims, but stated that,
nevertheless, councils have been caused
considerable expense, and In many
instances lawsuits have been re-
sorted to.
This is a matter" said the Stats
councillor, that / believe should be
taken up and carefully considered by
the State council. In my opinion there
should be no side issues in the organi-
cation, everything within the order
| should be connected with the order.
Il believe that this State council
should adopt a funeral benefit fund.
from which all funeral benefits should
be paid to the members beneficiary di-
rect. This would ave the order from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year A fund could
be established whereby members could
receive $3.50. $500 or more, according
to their ability or willingness TO pay
the required fees. This fund should
be a special benefit fund and each
council should be required to pay a
certain amount monthly according to
membership, and no part Of the money
paid to this purpose should be used
for anything except funeral benefits"
This recommendation will be taken
up later by the State council, and if
1t is adopted it will be submitted to
the subordinate councils for referen-
dun vote.
Councillor Day also recommended that
the State counc publish an ocial or
gan at u cost not to exceed $500 q year.
He said hat such an order paper is
demanded by reason of increase In
membership in the order, and present
inability of the administration to get
in communication with membership. In
this connectinon, he said that during
the past year at least 5000 new MEM
bers have been admitted as a result
of "our signal victory in legislative
affairs." ss
Mr.. Day prefaced his recommended
lions with a recital of the history of
the movement of the Jr. o. Y. A.. M.
as opposed to the financial policy of
Governor Fort calling for diversion of
a part of the state school fund for
general State purposes.

ENToMED MINERS RESCUED.

Ducktown, Tenn, Dec. 2.-The eight
men who were imprisoned in the Lon
don mine of the Tennessee Copper
Company as the result of a shaft
house fire, were brought to the sur
face. Mine Rescue Expert Ramsey,
of the rescue station recently estab!
lished by the federal government at
Knoxville, arrived on a special train.
Two hours were necessary to instruct
a recruiting party of four men in
wearing and use of the Oxygen he'll
NETS. Furthermore, after the rescu-
ers entered the shaft the helmets
were found to be of such weight that
the gear could not be worn with ease
into the levels of "stoops" IF the
mine. AS result, the four men re.
turned to the surface and abandoned
the helmets about midnight. A res
cue party of three was then formed
and without helmets or other device
descended the shaft, finding the eight
men on the sixth level.
The entomed miners were safely
housed about 40 feet from the main
shaft. They had built partition and
were thus protected from smoke and

: factor.

Washington. Dec. 2.-Secretary OF
State Knox returned the passports Of
Felipe Rodriguez, charge d'affares of
the Nicaraguan legation, with letter
scathingly denouncing the Zelayan ad.
ministration of the government of Mic.
aragua.
The extraordinary feature of the
letter is that it seems to evidence an
intention on the part of the United
States to hold President Zelaya per.
sonally responsible for the alleged tor.
ture and execution OF the Americans,
Cannon and Groce. and exhibits the
unique situation Of one government
holding the chief executive of another
practically as a. common malefactor.
Secretary Knox virtually announces
the recognition of the Nicaraguan rev.
olutionists, declares it to be, the con.
viction of the United States that the
revolution presents the sentiments OF.
a majority of the Nicaraguan people,
and that there is evidently no respons-
ible government with which the Unit.
ed States can DEAL,
All Held Accountable.
p He therefore announces that all par:
ties will be held accountable for their
actions as affecting the interests of
Americans and the peace of Central
America. He further informs Senior
Rodrignuez that while he has lost his
diplomatic quality, he may SILL serve
as an unofficial channel of commu.
nication with the faction which he is
regarded as representing.
Mr.. Knox's letter in so many words
makes it plain that the action repre-
sents the wish and attitude of all of
the Central American states with. the
single exception Of Honduras, which is
regarded here; as entirely dominated
by Zelaya. Mexico has all along
shown it's sympathy with the United
States in this matter.
Just what status the consular repre-
sentatives Of the United States in
Nicaragua now enjoy, was not def.
nitely explained 1t is expected, how.
ever, that Vice aConsul Caldera, who
has been occupying the legation in
Managua, together with the other con-
suls in that country, will be given
their passports at once. This is the

balance in the general fund, which
includes this, the balance in banks
and in the treasury of the Philippine
islands and other details, is placed
at $S2,079,472. Yesterdays excess of
all disbursements over all receipts is
$252,747, but the excess of all dis
bursements over all receipts so far
this fiscal year is only $44,295,956, as
against s94,772,399 for the same per.
iod in the previous fiscal year.
The internal revenue receipts are
