NATIONAL GRANGE
BYLAW IS UPHELD
BY N. H. COURT
Was Adopted by State Grange
And Imposed on Subordi-
nate Oranges

Concord, n. H, June 2S.-The SUI
preme court at its final sitting Satur.s
day before the summber vacations
handed down a decision in the action,
brought by Yeaton and others of RolJ,
linsford. against the National Grange
to determine the legality of a BYLAW
adopted by the State Grange and ind
posed on the subordinate Oranges, inI
regard to admission of members. d
The plaintiffs applied for member
ship in the Somersworth Grange, were'
elected and tok the first two degreesl
AS soon IS the Pollinsford Grange'
learned they had been taken into the
Somersworth Grange, without the nos,
tice TO or consent by the Rollinsfordi
Grange as required by the bylaw, It'll
entered a complaint with the master;
Of the State Grange, who ruled that,
Yeaton and the others had not BEEN
admitted to the Somersworth Grange,
in accordance with the rules of theI
order.
The Somersworth Grange appealed t0a
the State Grange and National Oranges
and both these organizations sustain-j
ed the master of the State Grange.
Tho case was then taken to the sui
perior court for STAFFORD countyJ
which held that even If the bylaw
was In full force, nevertheless thej
plaintiffs became members of Somerssj
worth Grange through inadvertanca'
and a mistake as to meaning and effectl
of that bylaw.
The National Grange then took thel
case to the supreme court on excep-l
lions. These are now sustained in al
long opinion by Justice Walker, whol

REORGANIZATION
OF CLAFLIN co. IS
HOPED FOR SOON
Merchandise Creditors Are Dis
posed to Help-Will Try to
Save Retail Stores

New York. June 2S.-With the note
holders committee acting as fun
mel for the pouring in of claims from
banks all over the country, there were
Saturday increasing hopes of regen-
GRAFTON for the II. B. Clahin Co. and
its string of dry goods stores.
Confidence in the ultimate success
of some reorganization plan which
would put the company on its feet
was manifested in the attitude of
Gregg & McGovern. counsel. who filed
involuntary petitions in bankruptcy
for some of the creditors at the time
the suits in equity brought about the
receivership on Thursday. The invol-
untary petition is pending in the
courts.
A statement was issued today in be-
half of the merchandise creditors,
which says in part:
THE merchandise creditors commit
tee intends to do everything it can
toward saving the retail stores from
receiverships where possible, and,
where receiverships are necessary, to
see to it that these stores are re-or-
gained and that the good will of the
going concerns is not destroyed and
dssipated.
THE fact that both banking and mer-
chandise creditors have refrained from
hostile action clearly indicates the desire
of all creditors interests to aid and to
give H. B. Cla1in Company and its allied
stores every opportunity to perfect plans
toward a readjustment.
Three possibilities are said to be under
consideration.
The first of these provides for an actual
consolidation of the Clalin chain of
stores instead OF having the union vested
in stock ownership by John Clafin. This
plan would make the New York store In
effect purchasing agency for the retail
stores and cut 1t off from relations with
any other stores.
The second plan would retain the strong
members of the group of stores and pro-
vide for the liquidation of the others.
The third proposal provides for the TAX
ing over OF the stores by the banks of
the cities in which they are located. The
banks would then determine whether
liquidation was wise. or whether individ-
ual reorganization should be brought
about.

Mr.. Cowie was great favorite
among the younger employees, is a
great baseball fan. and whenever
there is a possible chance to allow

gentleman remarked to a Journal man,

I'VE must confront the fact that one
story is accurate and the other is :,

the owners of the Storstad. Ms. Haight
was explaining that the crews of the
Storstad and the Empress told radically
different stories. /
He contended that one ship was to-
blame because change of seveni
