order at first did it's insurance busi- ness on purely fraternaI plan.
 As part of this plan there was created, by bylaw, adopted June 30. 1892, a Mortuary Reserve Fund. Each member was required to contribute 10 cents a month, abouVe his usual as sessment, to this fund, until the amount so paid by each reached $5.
 The object of the fund was to en- able the order to pay any insurance that might become due by reason of an unexpecte mortality rate in any
 And the fraternaI plan of insur- ance, with certain changes made from time to time, for the original plan, was continued until Jan 1, 1902
 At this time the Mortuary Reserve Fund contained more than $165,OOO as stated. And the surplus death benefit fund contained more than $400,000 as stated. And the amount of both funds had been entirely con tributed by those who were members of the order prior to Jan. 1, 1902 The latter fund was created because the money derived from ordinary as ses5ments was more than enough to pay death claims.
 changed it's form of insurance into the step rate plan, Q plan substan- tially like that used by old time in
 The plaintiffs claim that this plan is absolutely self supporting and that it does not depend in any way upon the two funds described, that it has in fact accumulated a great reserve of it's own.
 But, so far as Judge Kane and the members in his class were concerned, they were required to come in under the new rates, and to pay, not a flat sum upon each assessment for a death, but a sum based upon age and increasing every five years, until the age of 60-
 And to continue insured in the or der, as Judge Kane claims, all of these were obliged to pay the rate applicable not to the age when they entered the order, but to their age when the change was adopted The result, the complaint declares, was greatly to increase the cost of the in surance to the old members. , The plaintiffs further auege that the order has named a commit tee to arrange an apportionment of the more than $80O,00O in the two funds for the benefit of all members of the order, both old and new
 This the plaintiffs say is unfair They claim that the apportionment should be solely for the benefit of members of the order prior to 1902 inasmuch as the fund was created by the payments of such members, and entirely while the fraternal plan was in being.
 Judge Kane estimates that his own payment to the funds will reach $500.
 It is not the purpose of the plain tiffs, however, to obtain immediate physical distribution of the funds to the old members On the contrary they will subnIit to the court a plan for an equitable application of the funds for the benefit of the old mem bers, according to approved acturial practice.

OWNERSHIP OF ALMOST MILLION INVOLVED IN
 JUDGE KANE'S SUIT
Court Will Determine Whether $8OOOOO In Treasury of Knights of Columbus elongs to Those Who Were Members of Order Before 1902 Is IsRxoperty of All
 Members = Distinguish ed Counsel Upon Both Sides

The ownership of a fund of more than $SO0,O0O, which is increasing ra- pidEy, is soon to be determined by the Connecticut courts. The suit is that of Judge Patrick Kane, of this city. and others, against the national organization of Knights of Columbus, and others Judge Kane stands in the place of and virtually represents more than 10000 members of this pros porous order, who joined it prior to Jan. 1, 1902,
 The order is the custodian of two funds, which contained, at the time complaint was made $621, ,8O5.27. This amount has since increased to more than $500, 900, and it will soon be a million dollars, for it is invested in profitable securities and is growing by leaps and bounds.
 One of these funds is known as the Mortuary Reserve Fund. It contained The other fund is known as the sur plus benefit fund. It contained at the time suit was brought $456, ,44027.
 Judge Kane claims that he and the more than 10000 other members in his class, paid into the order every dollar contained in these funds. He also claims that these sums are to be used for the benefit of members of the order more than 10000 in num- Der, who joined after Jan. 1, 1902, and who made no contribution to the funds.
 The trial of the case was begun be- fore Judge Howard J. Curtis, this morning. He is asked to make an order for an equitable distribution of both funds to the persons who have a right in them.
 With the corporation, as nominal de- fendant, appears Patrick J. Cleary, who joined the order after Jan. l, 1902, and represents the more than 10000 members who did not contribute to these funds, but who claim the right to share in the benefit of them under the rules of the order.
 Both sides are represented by able counsel, Judge Kane by Former Sec retary of State John J. Phelan, John J. Cullinan. Miles M. Dawson and Am prose c. Harwich, the two latter of scented by Senator William P. Kenne- dy of Naugatuck, Joseph Pelletier, who is the district attorney for Suffolk County in achuSettS and Francis T. Leahy of Boston.
 The active conduct of the plaintiffs case is in the hands of John J. Culli- nan although MT. Phelan is senior Iy the supreme head of the order, and will be an important witness in the case and therefore is not permitted, under the code of his profession. to take the leading part in the actual trial of the suit.
 The suit is a friendly one, and the controversy over the equitable own ership of the funds comes about through a change in the laws of the order.
 The Knights of Columbus were in corporated under the laws of Con nectic,lt in 1892. Their charter was af- rewards several times amended. The

left was as to the amount of dam ages, which Judge Curtis in his decis- ion today answered.
 Mrs. Row1ey. according to her com plaint, lived happily with her husband in New York city for a number of years, or until 1905, when he went into the employ of Mrs. Forbes as her chauffeur. She noticed that he was becoming cold towards her, and that he neglected his marital vows The cause of these troubles she soon traced to Fairfield, for she found numerous letters. written by Mrs. Forbes to her husband, in which very endearing g terms were used while there were other statements in the letters which led her to believe that her husband was untrue to her. These letters she kept and presented them to the court last week, none of them being made public. These letters the court took. None of the letters have been filed with the finding of the court.
