WOoDMEN'S INITIATION
SECRETS NOT DISCLOSED.
Suit of Candidate on Account of In
juries Settled Up.

Newark, n. J.. March 5.-Secrets Of
the initiation ceremonial of the Mod
ern Woodmen of the World were not
accounted in court today, to the APP
parent disappointment Of a large audi
ence which had gathered to hear the
trial Of John A. Hetzeps $4,000 dam
age suit against the Bloomfield camp
Of the order, only to learn that the
case had been settled out Of court,
Hetzel sued for alleged injuries sus-
tanned by him during an initiajio ion in
August, 1910. The case came up in
the circuit court and jury WAS OBJ
tanned without difficulty. Before the
trial got under way, however, counsel
announced that an agreement had been
reached. 1t was reported that Hetzel
received $500 in cash and compensa-
ton in another form which sWelled the
sum materially.
Hetzel alleged that during his initia
ton he was struck across the small Of
the back with a slapjack which con-
tanned a blank cartridge. AS a result
of the cartridge having been improp-
erly placed in the slapstick he claimed
wadding and powder were blown into
his body, causing injuries from which
he still suffers.

Yours would be that way too, if you

But, thank goodness" times have
