TWO COUNTIES
MAY PROSECUTE
Ramifications of Fraternal Tri-
bunes Investigation Reach
Into Chicago.
BEFORE JURY HERE ALSO
Springfield Advices Tell of Inspection
of Insurance Department Rec
Ords There.

Advices to The Argus from Spring
field are to the effect that the ramif1-
cation of the investigation of the alleg-
ed conspiracy that resulted in the
wrecking of the Fraternal Tribunes
have reached into Sangamon and Cook
counties, and that there is likelihood
that grand jury indictments will fol
low in the latter if not in both coun-
ties. The records at Springfield of the
Fraternal Tribunes and of the Ameri-
can Home Circle have been inspected
by officials representing Rock Island
county, as we'll as those of Cook and
Sangamon. The information from
Springfield is that the statement filed
with the state insurance department
shows the American Home Circle to
have been insolvent when that orders
membership was taken over by the
Fraternal Tribunes; that the represen-
tatives of the latter society had full
knowledge of the insolvency of the
American Home Circle, and in assum-
ing its obligations must have known
that the outcome would have been dis
astrous to the Fraternal Tribunes or
der.
Many Demanding Punishment.
What action the Rock Island county
grand jury will take on the Fraternal
Tribunes affair of course remains con-
jectural until the final report of that
body is returned to the presiding Judge
of the circuit court. 1t is known, how
ever, tsat members of the Fraternal
Tribunes, many of whom have lost all
of the insurance premiums they have
paid into the order since its formation
here Ia years ago because of their
having passed the age limit where the
reinsurance arrangement will give
them the continuous protection they
were guaranteed under the terms of

Rock Island Argus., 1910-05-18

the officers of the Fraternal Tribunes
have been returned to the last dollar,
it is stated, and on this showing of
fact the alleged offenders will seek
immunity from prosecution under the
criminal statutes. Furthermore, the
American Home Circle membership, to.
gether with the obligations of that So
ciety, was divorced from the Fraternal
Tribunes at a meeting some months
after the merger action was taken,
but the position of those seeking the
punishment of the Fraternal Tribunes
officers is that the attempted repara-
ton was undertaken too late; that the
real harm had been done.
The investigation, If carried to the
end insisted upon by those in posses
sion of the information against the al
legged offenders, will prove one of the
biggest scandals in the fraternal insur-
ance history of the state.
