MACCABEES GET
$4,000 JUDGMENT
SUIT AGAINST DEFAULTING RI.
NANCE KEEPER AND PORT
HURON BANK ENDS.
MAcCABEES ASKED FOR $4,000,
ARE AWARDED $4,000 FROM
PIT. HURON INSTITUTION.
Case Has Been Hanging Fire In
the Courts for Nearly
Ten Years.

Following nine years of litigation,
the case of Supreme Tent Knights OF
the Maccabees of the World, against
the Port Huron Savings Bank, was
brought to an end in Port Huron
when Judge Byron r. Erskine filed
an opinion in which he held that
the bank was indebted to the order
in the sum of $4,000, on account of
funds brought into the bank by
Charles ID. Thompson when he was
assistant cashier of the bank and fl
nance keeper of the Maccabees. In
asmuch as the Maccabees claim the
bank was indebted to them in the sum
of $55, 1885, this finding of the judge
is considered victory for the bank.
Nine years ago Thompson was
charged with the embezzlement of
$55, 900 of the funds of the Macca-
bee order, of which he was finance
keeper. He was arrested, but his
case never came to trial. In the suit
a decree was also rendered against
Thompson for the sum of S65,531,
which, with interest, will amount to
about SS3,000
1t appears from the finding of Judge
Erskine that the rules of the Macca-
bees required its funds to be with
drawn from it's repositories only on a
warrant signed by the supreme com
mander, supreme record keeper and
countersigned by its finance keeper
But these requirements were not OBJ
served, according to The finding
Thompson withdrawing and transfer
ring the funds without the signatures
of the other officers. This course con
tinued during the entire period GOV.

Remarkable Capture Of a Wolf.

In the winter of 1896 and 1897, I
was depot agent at Duncan, Neb., a
small town on the main line of the
Union Pacific railroad, ninety-nine
miles west of Omaha. The weather
was bitterly cold. One morning
shortly after daybreak, while a man
I knew, called Herman Ernst, and his
assistant were hauling hay a short
distance from my station, the far
mer's attention was attracted to a
gray wolf standing between the rails
Of the main line, and as he did not
leave the spot on the approach Of
Herman's wagon, he, Herman, grab
bed his fork and ran up to the wolf,
which had it's head close to the rails
as if in a trap. After killing the wolf,
Heman tore the animal from the rail
and was astonished to note that it's
tongue was left attached to the metal.
Subsequently I investigated this cur
ious incident and have evolved the
following explanation: The morning
passenger train had passed that
point only a few minutes before Her
mar saw the wolf and had run over a
jack rabbit, leaving the blood on the
rail. The wolf had either been chas-
ing the rabbit or had happened by
soon afterward, and in trying to lick
the blood from the rail his tongue,
owing to the intense cold Of the metal,
froze to it, while the saliva from his
mouth became a cake Of ice over an
inch thick, attaching him to the rail
as securely as though in a wise. I
afterward bought the hide from. Mr..
Ernst, and it is now in my house, an
object Of interest to many VISITORS

JURY ACQUITS HARRIS.
Former Secretary of Orr Mills Found
Not Guilty-Verdict Excites
Applause.

Anderson, May 20.-Calhoun Har-
ris, former secretary and treasurer Of
the Orr cotton mills of Anderson, to-
night was acquitted of the charge Of
forgery and breach Of trust. The
jury returned the verdict of not gull
ty at 80 tonight, after celebrating a
little more than three hours.
Rain was falling in torrents when
a deputy was dispatched to the hotel
for Judge Watts, when the jury an
nounced that it had agreed upon a
verdict. More than 100 men and wo-
men quickly gathered in the court
room, and when the verdict vas an
nounced there was an outburst Of
handclapping and straightway there
gathered around Harris 80 or 40 Of
his friends to extend congratulations.
Mrs. Harris, her father and Harris
father, with several other near rela-
tives, we're with him when the clerk
read the verdict. All of them were
visibly affected. Harris face bright
ened and a broad smile came to take
the place of the tired and worried ex-
preston that he has had during the
trial.
Judge Watts directed Harris coun-
sci to prepare the order of discharge
and the court house was soon de-
serted.
The Harris case was opened Mon
day morning and has been attended
with much interest. 1t originated
from an alleged shortage of about
$4,000 in the accounts of the Orr
mills. BY agreement among counsel
three cases of forgery and one of
breach of trust were tried together
and a verdict Of not guilty was re-
turned in each. There remain two
other counts of forgery yet untried
and these may never be tried, certain
~ not at this term Of court. This
term lasts 10 days or more but there
is other business sufficient to keep
the court busy until adjournment caa
be reached.

cant, for several reasons The wise
ones predicted before the August elec-
tons that those counties retaining
the d~ispensaries would be consider
ably benefited by the profits %accruing
from the sales Of whiskey and beer
if their next door neighbors voted
out the system. This has been borne
out by the largely increased sales in
these several counties.
To the prohibitionists there will be
furnished by this state of affairs the
argument that all ~dispensaries should
be voted out, and the whole State
should become prohibition. They will
argue that since neighboring counties
have voted out the d~ispensaries it is
injurious to these counties to have
other counties surrounding them en-
gage in the sale of liquors.
On the other hand, the local option
men will argue that the revenues re-
ceived by those counties having
~dispensaries and the legalized sale Of
liquors should cause other counties
not now enjoying these privileges to
want them.
Reaction Setting In?
1t is stated by men seen here from
sections of the State, where the dis
pensarIes have been voted out, that
the reaction has already set in and
some counties that voted out the dis
pensaries wish them back.
That there has been less whiskey
sold since planting season began is
stated by those who are in touch with
the situation. Naturally, during the
planting months the sales of whiskey
and beer fall off in the country dis
tricts, because people are too busy to
go to town" and buy the "hrewat-
err"
Twenty-one counties in South Caro-
lima had the ~dispensary system before
August, 1909, when IS of the counties
went dry" leaving six now having
dispensaries.
Greenyille Situation Prophetic.
>""You have no idea what an effect
the Greenvil1e situation in regard to
the liquor question is having on the
other countless" said a gentleman to-
day, who is we'll versed on the liquor
question and travels about the State a
great deal.
THAT the Greenville county con-
vention should have determined to
submit the question of dispensary or
no dispensary to the primary this
summer is having a marked effect up
on the lower counties of the State.
Down that way it has been generally
thought that Greenville, Anderson,
Spartanburg end the Upstate coun-
ties, as a whole, were bulwarks of
prohibition. Now that the question is
again to be submitted to the people,
many of the low counties are wonder
ing what effect this will have on the
rest of the State.
Suppose Greenville should decide
to place the ~dispensary back? That
would mean. naturally, that the senti-
ment up there has changed, as shown
by the votes of the people. Then the
Upstate would not be regarded such
a stronghold of prohibition"
All Of which is mighty interesting,
and shows which way the wind is
blowing in the liquor situation in
South Carolina.

FOR FIRST TIME
WOMAN IS HEARD.
That is, First Time in Methodist Con.
ference History-New Bishops
~COnsecrated.

Asheville, N. c., May 19.-For the
first time in the history of the gen.
eral conference Of the Methodist
church, South, a woman was today
allowed to speak on the floor this
privilege being granted by unanimous
consent to Miss Belle Bennett secre-
'tary Of the Woman's Home Mission
society, being granted this privilege
for the purpose Of championing the
rights of women to sit in councils
Of the church and have equal rights
the laity.
Miss Bennett made a forciEle argu-
ment in behalf of the rights of her
sex, but without avail, for the con-
ference, after hearing speeches from
both sides, adopted the majority re-
port of the committee on revisa's
which was adverse to the desires Ct
the women. In view of this action
the next act of the conference in plsc-
ing 10 women on the missionary
board was regarded as decidedly sin
gular.
Women Delighted.
Without exception the women who
have led the fight express themselves
as delighted with progress ma de IN
creating sentiment in their favor and
they confidently believe the next
quadrennial conference will grant
their wishes and adopt the measure.
Never before in the history Of Meth
odism have women had so much coll
sideration at a general conference.
Laymen were also disappointed at
the revocation of the measure adopted
giving them larger representation at
annual conferences. The fact that a
two-thirds vote was necessary 1or the
adoption of a measure of this char
acter was brought to the attention Of
the conference. Failing to receive
the vote required, the measure was
defeated. The fight will be resumed
at the next conference, however.
