REMAINS QUIET
CHIEF REMAINS OPTIMISTIC ANc
is RESTING ON HIS
ARMS.
Effort Being Made 20 Have Mayer
Kirk Include Investigation In
Council Call For Tuesday
Night.

Chief Of Police Thomas Leyiand
is very optimistic over the charges
that have been made about him py
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Heston in which
they charge him with moral turpi-
tude. He is awaiting the investiga-
ton by council with exact placitude.
The chief has contended since the
charges were publicly made that ne
was innocent and courted investiga-
tion into the charges by whatever
body that had the power to take the
matter up.
that the matter is frameup. ON
the other hand the opposite side Is or
seems 10 be as honest in fits allega-
lions as ever still. contending that
they are not the party 10 any frame
up but acting upon their own de-
sires. and make the charges from
the facts that caused them TO BE-
brought Mrs. Heston still contends
that she told the truth when she
said that the chief had Illegal rela-
tions with her at different times.
The probe which is threatened by
council, but which many are lead 70
believe will never be made. is wait
ed upon by the chief and his friends
"a sign of complete vindication.
while there are others who are lust
as strong I'm their belief that Il will
mean his impeachment. There IS a
general thought too. that nothing will
be- done I'm the affair until after the
divorce proceedings are settled.
II Is understood that members OF
both branches have asked the Mayor
10 include the matter in the call for
the next meeting of council which
viii be Tuesday night The call for
the special meeting will be sent 10
the various Councilmen Monday.
Some are prone 10 believe the whole
matter a frame-up on political and
moral questions, and the theory Is
advanced that chief did not visit Mrs
Heston in her room as she claims N
all. but that some other man IS
guilty and that the matter was
blamed on the chief An investiga-
ton would clear those things IN and
the people OF all parties and sects
believe that II is due.

Rate QUESTION
AGAIN BEFORE THE
MODERN WOODNEN
Complete Reorganization Of
Society May Take Place
at Convention Opening at
Toledo Tomorrow.

Toledo, o.. June 15.-Delegates from
many states have arrived in Toledo
in readiness for the opening here to-
morrow of the triennial meeting of the
head camp OF the Modern Woodmer
of America. The convention promises
to be the most momentous in the his
tory of the order. The rate question,
which has convulsed the order for
several years, is to be fought out at
the convention and the result may be a
complete reorganization of the society.
The rate question was first raised
in It's present form at the meeting of
the head camp in Buffalo three years
ago. At that time definite action was
postponed until the winter of 1911,
when special meeting of the head
camp was held in Chicago, and re-
adjustment Of rates voted. The new
schedule provided for an increase in
rates all along tie line For the older
members OF the order the rates We're
made from three to nine times higher
than the old rates.
Throughout the country, and espe-
ciafly in the states of Iowa, Kansas,
Missouri and Illinois, the proposed in
crease was strongly resisted. Several
test cases We're brought In circuit
courts, resulting in injunctions against
the enforcement of the new rates on
the ground that they were not inn
perative to the financial safety of the
order, that, since the benefits of the
organization are mutual and recipro-
cal, the rates cannot be enforced with
out the consent of the majority Of the
membership.
In view of these court decisions the
head camp last summer proposed a
referendum, submitting seven different
rate plans for the selection of the
membership. But the impression
gained currency that the referendum
was a ruse, and the result was a vote
of less than one per cent of the mem
bership. The head camp then decided
to let the whole matter go over until
the present convention. The in
surgents." or those opposed to the rate
increase. claim to have elected a suffi-
cient number of delegates to the con-
vention to defeat the plans of the "ad-
ministration" faction.
