WILL BUILD AGAIN
J. @. Adams to Give Phoenix
Hotel to Replace One
Burned Down.
CITIZENS ARE BEHIND HIM
Many Offer to Join Him in Subscrib-
ing Stock to Enterprise-What He
Has Done for Town.

The Arizona Republican, published
at Phoenix, where John C. Adams, a
former Rock Islander, a week ago suf-
fered the destruction by fire of his
handsome hotel, contains the following
editorial expression:
The destruction of the Adams hotel
is serious misfortune for the city of
Phoenix as well as for the proprietor
OF that famous house In a time of
rapid growth, when the hotel facilities
Of the town were already inadequate,
the principal hotel of Phoenix has been
waited away in smoke. ]. C.. Adams,
who for Ii years has been one of our
most indefatigable citizens in working
for the prosperity of the community;
the man who, IA years ago, had the
nerve to build hotel which then was
far in advance of the town, had to
stand helplessly by yesterday while
the accommodations of long years were
destroyed. But the material welfare
of Phoenix must be kept in view. We
must have a new hotel, hotel modern
in every way. hotel far superior to
the establishment that was burned yes
terday, hotel which will meet the
needs of the rapidly growing city Of
Phoenix.
Friends Stand With Him.
I'VE are confident that this is the
program which will meet the approval
of the unconquerable J. C. And he and
the enterprising citizens of Phoenix,
acting together, can assure a hotel
which will not only be a profitable in
vestment, but will quickly become one
of the favorite winter hotels of the
United States. Just now, of course, it
may be difficult for Mr.. Adams to bring
himself to the formulation of plans for
the future; many men would be crush
ed in body and spirit by such loss.
But he will quickly find. if he has not
already, that he has a great multitude
of friends who will stand by him.
There has been much talk during the
past few months of a new hotel, in
which stock to a large amount would
be taken by citizens. The project halt
ed, largely because many citizens. APP
preciative of what J. c. Adams has
done for the town, were reluctant TO
take any steps which might injure the
business of his hotel. This reason no
longer exists. There is now an oppor-
tunity for the cooperation between Mr..
Adams and his neighbors in securing
such a hotel as Phoenix demands. We
have no doubt that as soon as Mr.. Ad-
ans can consider the future he will
find large numbers of business men and
property owners ready to join Linn in
taking stock in the new hotel.
THE new hotel we must have and
it must be peach"

to the report in the insurance commits
sioner's Office. From whom this last
money came, the report says, is not
known. for Mr.. Kenney was acting
simply as attorney.
This made up the whole $4,000.
There were legal and other expenses
which took some $4,000 of this amount
and the Craig note of $500 realized
only $4,000, when the Northern Life. an
old line company, recently took over
the membership of the Fraternal Tr.b-
unes.

Receipts in full for settlement were
given and the account closed. But Nc

ton, which is now in progress.

intellect of a Philadelphia lawyer to
understand them, but the above are
the main facts as disclosed by the re-
ports of examiners in the state insur-
ance department.
At one time threats of prosecution
were made by Home Circle officials
against the insurance commissioner,
and a delegation of them called on
Governor Deneen to lay their -griev-
ances against Mr.. Potter before the
executive.
NOrthcOtt Demands Inquiry.
Former Lieutenant Governor w. A.
Northcott, one time head of the Mod
ern Woodmen of America, has not been
mentioned in the insurance embroglio,
although reference was made in a story
of the Rock Island county investiga-
tons to "a former state official who
holds a federal position and who, ac-
cording to the person interviewed.
would have some explaining to do"
Mr.. Northcott said:
LAS 1 am the only former Illinois
state officer now holding federal po-
sition, deny that l ever engaged in
any fraudulent or questionable trans
actions in regard to any insurance
company or society and demand the
fullest investigation.

State Insurance Commissioner
Called in Fraternal Scan

NoRTHcGTT is VOLUNTEER
Latter Wants Privilege of Dissipating

Resumes Tomorrow.

Two OF the important witnesses who
have been summoned to testify in the
fraternal insurance inquiry before the
Rock Island county grand jury, which
reconvenes tomorrow, and Fred w
Potter of Springfield, Illinois commits
sioner of insurance, and William A
Northcott of Greenville, ILL.,, formerly
head consul of the Modern Woodmen
of America and now holding a federal
position as United States district at
torney in Illinois Mr.. Potter, it is
understood, will be called upon to ex-
plain the condition of the American
Home Circle, as shown by the records
in his Office, at the time that society
was merged with the Fraternal Trib-
unes. Mr.. Northcott has taken UNI
bragg at some of the published intima-
lions that federal officeholder might
be involved in the pending scandal. He
has volunteered to come here and tes-
tify that he might be cleared of any
suspicion that might arise in connec-
ton with these insinuations.
How System Was worked.
According to the states attorney, the
Investigations now in progress direct
ly affect some $4,000 people in Illinois
and adjoining states. These are peo-
pie who have been paying for insur-
ance in the different companies involv-
ed in the Investigations. 1t is alleged
that the systematic looting has been
going on for at least 10 years by a
ring of men having their headquarters
in Springfield. They worked, it is
said, as follows: Having gotten into
the head Office of some fraternal so
ciety, they proceeded to wreck it by
footing the treasury and giving fake
notes to men whom it is charged were
in league with them. Then another
fraternal society was induced to take
over the wrecked one and to merge
with it and pay its bills, including the
fraudulent notes. The head officers of
the second society were, then removed
from Office in one way or another, but
principally through bribery, and the
same course of procedure in relieving
its treasury was gone through with.
Then it was merged with another, and
the work kept up. In this way a dozen
fraternaI orders have become involved
in the affair.
Daring Scheme of Graft.
Developments will disclose the most
daring and systematic scheme of graft
ever unearthed in the insurance world,
although the actual loss is estimated
to be not more than $1,000,O00.
Following an investigation yesterday
it was charged that there existed in
the state an agency which has for
years bought and sold, pawned and
robbed fraternal insurance companies,
leaving thousands of widowed and or
phaned benef1ciaries penniless. The
scheme is known as the "chain sys-
tenn
1t is charged that agents report to
the head Office a young company with
a comfortable reserve fund. This COM
pany is urged to swell its membership
by absorbing an insolvent or falling
concern When the deal is consumma-
ted it is found that the absorbed con-
Germ has actually absorbed it's benefac-
tor and those in control dissipate the
reserve. This stranded combination is
