HOME FOR THE
CHILDREN OF MOOSE

A step which. it is predicted, will
revolutionize fraternal organizations
the country over was taken by the
Supreme Lodge of the Royal Order of
Moose at the first session of the
lodge yesterday in Baltimore, when It
accepted the offer OF the East Indiana
Normal School trustees of the school
building in Muncie. Ind, and will con-
vert it into an Industrial and normal
school for orphans and children Of
Moose. Such a school as this has
never been undertaken by any frater-
nal order In the world.
This means that the order agrees
to establish an industrial and normal
school for children of Moose, and fur
ther promises that the enrolment for
the first three years shall not be less
than 900. This was one of the con-
ditions imposed. in the offer, and II is
the opinion of those interested that
the number of pupils required Will be
reached by the end Of the second year.
The college building is valued at
S125,000 and is offered to the Supreme
Lodge free OF all expense. II Will be
opened by the Moose in 1911 with a
full corps of teachers in all depart
ments. The plans. to be worked out
by a committee, call for an industrial
school in which children will be
taught trades and at the same time he
enabled to pay at least part Of
their expenses.

FILE WILLS OF
SLAIN COUPLE
Legal Question as to Which Of
CaSeyS Died First May
Crop Up
EACH HAD ESTATE
OF ABOUT $4,000

Did Robert Casey die before his
wife, is a question that will come be-
fore Register OF Wills Walker when
application for letters on their es-
tates is made
Robert Casey, Jr., and his wife Ann
NJ. Casey, who were murdered IN their
home at Claymont on Friday night,
each left a will These Wills were de-
posted with the Register Of Wills by
Attorney George NJ. Lodge. who filed
them for probate early this after
noon. There was a will made by Mr..
Casey and a Will made by his wife.
Nothing regarding the provisions of
the Wills could be ascertained at the
Office of Register of Wills Walker.
With the fling of the Wills some
intricate questions may be raised by
relatives of the murdered couple, II
is known that Mr. Casey and his wife
each had a separate estate and prop
erty In conversation with neighbors
many a time the aged couple express
ed themselves as to how their estates
should be managed after death. Mr.
Casey would say that as his wife had
been his helpmate she should be his
sole beneficiary and that he knew o
no one better qualified TO carry ou
his wishes than his wife would be.
On the other hand, Mrs. Casey re
marked that as her husband had al
ways been kind to her and success
fully managed their affairs she woul'
like him to look after her estate pro
vided she died before him.
Like her husband Mrs. Casey leave
an estate valued Il is understood from
neighbors. at about $4,000 while Air
Caseys estate amounts TO about $12,
600. So with two Wills I'm the cas-
there may be some intricate Law
points raised by the relatives OF tn
murdered couple.
For instance, If Mr.. Casey I'm hi
will made his wife the sole legatee
and she was murdered FIRST, the vii
would cease TO be operative. On tn
other hand had Mr.. Casey been tn
first victim OF the murderer's club
then the will of the aged grocer woul'
exist.
However, If Mrs. Casey made a vii
and left her estate to any one beside
her husband II would be operative 81
far as her own personal estate is con
cerned.
Who died first is the real question
that may crop up over the two Wills.
II is known that JMr. Casey lei
his estate TO his wife and It Is sal
that she. having a fortune in her ow
right remembered her relatives, know
| ing that her husband was worth b.
, tween $4,000 and $4,000.

for President

ST. LOUIS. Mo. Aug. 23.-With the
arrival of a majority Of the delegates
to the Grand Aerie of the Fraternal
Order of Eagles, now in session here,
the political battle became strenuous.
The Bell-Herring and the Grady fac
tiOns drew lines and entered the con-
test with vim. The personal popu-
larity of Vice-President Thomas f..
Grady, the New York Senator, accord
ing to gossip around the Planters Ho-
tel Headquarters, is 50 strong that an
attempt to present his succession as
Grand Worthy President Will result IN
defeat. and the Bell-Herring forces
are believed TO be planning to make
the fight for the vice-presidency should
the attempt to change the clause OF
the constitution making the automatic
succession of the vice-president TO the
presidency prove futile.
The test Of strength will come this
morning when the graft charges are
brought up by the report of the griev-
and appeals committee and the sup
Elementary report of President Frank
e. Herring.
The Grady faction predict that the
plan OF the Bell-Herring faction is "a
change the constitution and then at
tempt to stampede the convention for
Herring for recollection. Fully 25.OOC
