FRIEND AGAIN HELD
AS EMBEZZLER OF
FORESTERS' FUNDS
Real Estate Dealer Brought
From Jail to Answer Addi-
tional Charges of Fraud
Against Lodge.

Confronted by creditors and former
friends. who allege he swindled them,
Frank A. Friend, real estate operator,
4539 Old York road, was arraigned before
Magistrate Glenn today, charged with
keeping $1,000 belonging to the Excelsior
Court No. 92, Foresters of America. The
money was given to Friend to invest in
mortgages.
Friend was brought from Moyamensing
Prison handcuffed to Deputy Sheriff
He was committed to the county prison
last Tuesday after two of his friends
who had gone his bail on another charge
surrendered him.
George Schneider, Jr., S6l7 North Elev-
enth street, trustee of the lodge, who
swore out the warrant, was the only wit
ness who testified. According to Schneid-
er's affidavit, he entrusted Friend with
$500 on May 20, 1914, to purchase two
mortgages on properties at 1928 and 1880
North Mascher street OF this amount
Schneider testified this morning, only 5000
was returned.
Friend Is charged with keeping the
$500 and continuing to pay interest on
srty.
When Friend appeared in court today
he expected to meet his wife whom he
married on May 20. She was not pres
ent. Later Friend received word that
she was Ill at the home of relatives.
Asked whether he had an attorney to
defend him, Friend made no reply. After
Magistrate Glenn had held him in $500
bail on the new charge, he pleaded to be
permitted to send messages to friends.
When his friends failed to appear he was
committed TO the county prison.
Friend was arrested last week on COM
plant of bank examiners, who charged
that while acting as a agent for the Old
Hickory and CTeston Building and Loan
Associations he had embezzled about 5000.
On that charge he was held by Magis-
trate Renshaw in $4,000 bail. Two friends
came to his aid. Later 1t developed that
several poor families had been victimized
and his friends surrendered him.

PROGRESSIVES WILL
NAME SUCCESSOR
TO REED ON FRIDAY
Delaware State Committee
Called to Select Candidate
for Congress = Rev. DR..
NJ organ, Prohibitionist,
Urged.

DOVER, Del, Oct. Estate Chairman
Robert G. Houston, of Georgetown, this
afternoon called the Progressive State
Committee to meet here next Friday. A
successor will be chosen to the Rev.
DR.. George Edward Reed, OF Whining
ton. who withdrew from the Progressive
ticket as q Congressional candidate.
From present indications the Progressives
of this State are likely to take the Rev. Dr.
S. NJ. Morgan, Methodist Episcopal min.
lister of this city, who was nominated for
Congress by the Prohibition party, as
their own candidate. The Prohibitionists
have taken the other candidates of the
Progressives
1t Is held that Doctor Morgan would
come nearer taking the place Of the Rev.
Doctor Reed than any other man In Della
ware. He is well known and has fought
hard for prohibition in this state
II Is not expected that the nomination
of Doctor Morgan will be any more
pleasing to the Progresslves in the lower
part of the state than was the nomination
Of Doctor Reed. There Is no objection to
either man personally, but there is feel
ing among many of the Progressives that
the nomination ought to go to n Sussex
County man because the Republicans
aroused dissatisfaction by nominating a
New Castle County man for Congress. BY
nominating a Sussex Countian the Pro-
gressives think they could get the. votes of
dissatisfied Republicans. The Progressive
leaders, however, appear to think that q
New Castle County man would draw moro
votes because of the larger voting popu-
lation in the upper end of the State.
There Is also feeling among n num-
ber of the Progressves that because
Louis A. Drexler was the nominee of the
party in the previous election, when no
one wanted the place, he deserves the
| nomination this time when the Progress
slves expect to poll much larger vote
| than they did two years ago.
According to the leaders of all parties,
this is going to be an unusually quiet
campaign. There will be considerable
speechmalting but the most effective
work is expected to be done by personal
| solicitation.

of the matter while Frederick L. CLOSER,
valet of the late John F. Betz, secretary
OF the Pennsylvania Liquor Dealers Asso-
citation, in his saloon at Thirteenth and
Ruttonwood streets, denied that the liquor
interests paid the bill for the literature.
Il has been impossible to ascertain where
the printing was done, as the union label
does not bear a shop number.
In addition, the saloons of the city
