MAY COMPROMISE THE
MODERN SAMARITAN FUSS
FEELING AMONG MEMBERS THAT
DIFFERENCE SHOULD BE
PATCHED UP.

The Modern Samaritan wrangie may
result In compromise, says the Du-
luth Herald.
There has been a growing feeling
among members of the two factions i'm
the imperial council or the order that
they should get together on some mu-
tually agreeable basis and get the
matter out of the courts. II has been
feared that unless something of the
sort Is decided upon very soon more
extreme measures in a legal way may
result with a consequent loss of con-
fidence among policy holders of the
order, for no other reason than that a
feeling of disgust over the chickering's
of the members of the imperial coun-
ell has been growing among the mem
bers Of the Fraternity" The financial
condition of the order is regarded as
iiist-class, but the lght has been dis
turbing.
a resolution was introduced this
morning by A. G. Mcknight with ref
crence TO the handling of the money Of
the order during the, legal entangle-
ment, and To keep the funds from be-
ing tied up during such litigation as
is now on or may result Growing our
of this resolution representatives of thI
Christie Austin faction and of the Col
lier- Iicken- McManus faction are try
ing To agree upon resolution which
will give joint controi OF the funds of
the order to O. r. Collier and G. Il.
3ombach, both signing as treasurer
and orders countersigned by the inn
perial good Samaritan, John Christie
as usual II is believed that out or
this effort further compromise will be
reached and that the whole contro-
vcrsy may be settled and all suits now
pending withdrawn.
However as a matter Of protection
of its case, Attorney Morgan for the
Christie Austin faction gave notice OF
appeal from Judge Dancers order in
district court preventing that faction
from Interfering with Collier and
Hicken i'm the discharge of the. duties
of their respective offices of imperial
treasurer and imperial scribe. 1t is
hoped To get this case into the Sep
tember term of the supreme court.
Yesterday afternoon the imperial
council voted To raise the rates Of
members admitted prior to 1905 To the
rate basis established that year, thus
levelling the rates charged all mem
hers according to age at the time of
admission.
