Asks Owl Receiver.

South Bend, Ind, Feb. 3.-Jonas
o. Hoover, of Chicago, has asked the
st. Joseph Circuit Court of this city
to appoint receiver for the Order
of Owls, a fraternal organization
with a membership of 267, 900, the
headquarters of which are in South
Bend. The suit also is directed
against John w. Talbot, supreme
president of the order. Hoover as
serts that the order owes him $4,000
for attorney fees. Hoover alleges
that the supreme nest of Owls in this
city receives annually $50, 900 in dues
from the members, and further says
that amount is dissipated."
He at once set on foot an investi-
cation and wrote to Gov. Ralston,
of Indiana, asking for official light
on the subject. He received the let
ter below, which he read.
Mr.. John Franklin Bible,
Hopkinsville, Kentucky.
Dear Sir:
Your letter of February 18th to
Gov. Ralston was promptly forward
ed in confidence to a very reliable
and we'll informed gentlemen at
South Bend, and his reply came this
morning. He does not desire his
name mentioned, thereforeit is with
held.
Here is copy of his letter in full:
you will be strictly within the
truth by saying to Mr.. Bible that
what he sets forth in his letter of in
quiry is true and that much more
could be said along that line without
exaggeration.
(The head of the organization was
here severely criticised.)
q Tell Mr.. Bible
if he wants to get the true inward
ness of this fellow to write Attorney
F. j. Lewis Meyer, ex-Mayor Chas.
L. Goetz or Detective VIM. Cassidy,
all living in South Bend. Another
man to communicate with is Jonas
o. Hoover, a Chicago attorney, who
knows all about the Supreme Nest
and who for years was quite intim-
ate with its ruler.
If you want anything further, let
me know"
Hoping this information will be of
service to you, / am
Very truly yours,
B. b. JOHNSON,
Secretary.
81, 1914.
Taking the figures given as a basis,
Mr.. Bible said the fee of S. for each
member would amount to 81. 1886, 900
and that the annual tax of 40 cents
required to be sent to Talbot would
net him $l06,S0O every year. This
vast fund is handled personally by
the head of the home nest, who is
not under the control of the order,
but is permanent officer.
The order here has been instituted
by Moses R. Glenn and already about
l75 members have been admitted,
including many of the most prom
lnent citizens.
Following these disclosures the
decided not TO initiate the
waiting class, but the membership

New College OF Vital
Importance To State

A pleasant feature OF the open
ING of the Summer School was the
reception given in the Oratory on
Tuesday evening, when teachers
and students met together for
social hour. Violin and piano
solos and the singing Of old songs
were part of the program. Ice
cream and cake was served.
DR.. Mitchell made brief ad-
dress in which he spoke of the new
Women s College as the greatest
event in the history of Delaware
for this year. 1t will effect life in
the home, the school and the social
realm. Will it not be mighty
force in the life of the Common
wealth? q?
The establishment Of the College,
DR.. Mitchell said, reflects general
popular demand. The sphere Of
the State is rapidly changing. A
policeman was the personification
of the state as jefferson conceived
it. Today the State is interesting
itself in every kind Of social well
fare. The ma jOr portion of the re-
sources Of our states go to educa-
ton; the State concerns itself with
public health; it is socializing all
the agencies Of civilization. In this
new order Of things woman finds
her field of usefulness and activity
largely extended. She is destined
as never before to influence the fu-
ture of the American people.
The speaker referred to discus
sion among college men as to the
proper location of a college. Some
argued that it should be removed
from a city, some that it should be
where the railroads converge, etc.
President Eliot said, Gentlemen,
there is but one thing necessary
beauty" And the new Women s
College Of Delaware, DR.. Mitchell
declared, conforms to this ideal.
Several pertinent questions were
put to the audience:
What s going to be your relation
to this large enterprise Of the
State?
What will be your Interpretation
Of the new college, whose buildings
you watch rise to completion, when
you go to your homes?
How can the Summer School stu
dents plan their summer to get the
greatest good from the community
What benefit can they confer upon
the community to compensate for
cOurtesies received?
DR.. Mitchell answered the last
two queries by referring the stu
dents to the two libraries in the
town, defining a library as the dy-
namO Of an institution, and second,
urging them to contribute to the
life of the community by attending
the churches and carrying the en-
couragement of their presence to
the Sunday Schools.
DR.. Wagner talked on the spirit
of the School, and declared the
most evident characteristic spirit
Of willingness to work. He express
sed his appreciation of the fact that
50 many were willing to postpone
their vacations and come to the
state college for the great purpose
of self-realization.
All the teachers of the Summer
School were present and after the
formal program spent a social hour
in touch with the students of the
school.

INFECTED CATTLE
CAUSE OF ALARM
In LOWER MERTON
Fears That Foot and Mouth
Disease May Have Spread
From Herd to Prize Stock
on Farms Nearby.

a herd of 40 cattle, infected with the
foot and mouth disease, on the grounds
of tho Belmont Driving Association, Low
er Merton township. is causing alarm
among the stock owners Of that section.
Dr. c. \. schauher. head Of the Federal
Bureau OF Animal Industry, went to the
driving park today to examine the cattle
The park was quarantined yesterday by
a Federal Inspector.
It is feared that the disease may have
been spread by horses driving and racing
on the grounds to neighboring stock and
dairy farms, where prize cattle, valued
at several hundred thousand dollars, are
uuartered. Races for the relief of the
Belgians were held Wednesday and the
driveway has been in daily use.
rercival Roberts, owner of the Penhurst
Farms and herd valued at $4,000, said
that he had written a letter to the Sec
rotary Of Agriculture complaining that
the proper precautions have not been
taken to prevent q spread Of the cpl
demic I'm the neghbOrhOOd. Other owners
of valuable cattle are George u. Nc
Eadden and T. Dewitt Cuyler.

rived in Philadelphia November 3. Doc
tor Schauher refused to allow them to
leave the city except for immediate
slaughter until the owner had secured a
permit from the state Live stock Sani-
tary Board and had furnished an affi-
davit that the cattle were from an un.
infected area and had not been unloaded
i'm transit in any quarantined stockydrds
"Thc criticism that we have not taken
the proper precautions is unfounded Z"
said Doctor Schaufler I'VE held the cat
tie here for two days until we were posi-
tive that they came from an uninfected
place. They showed no symptoms of the
disease here and the stockyards were not
quarantined until November o.
Where they contracted the disease is
hard to tell The germs may have lain
dormant or the cars in which they were
slipped may have been infected"
