their original policies. are demanding
a full investigation of the proceedings
that brought about the merger of the
American Home Circle and the Fra
ternal Tribunes, with the consequent
failure, and punishment of those re
sponsible for the collapse of their fra
ternity.
Defending Lawyers Retained.
The fact that at least two of the
officials who are charged with misap-
preparation of funds belonging to the
Fraternal Tribunes have retained law
yers to defend them in the event of
grand jury indictments, is indicative
of the possible outcome of the investi-
CATION by grand juries here and in
Chicago.
The allegation is that $5S,000 was
surreptitiously lifted from the general
fund of the Fraternal Tribunes and
divided between four of the officers;
that the loss of this money, together
with assumed obligations of the mer-
lean Home Circle, caused such a drain
upon the resources of the Fraternal
Tribunes that there was only one
course open, and that one was followed
