Amount Involved in Doubt.

has charge OF the inquiry declared
there was no way of checking up the
contributions made, and the use to
which they were ultimately put. Con-
sequently, he said, the aggregate
amount believed to have been mIsuSed
could not be verified.
Mrs. Story, the prosecuting authori-
ties declare, never was actually elect
ed president of the relief society, but
took that Office arbitrarily. AS mat
ter of fact, they say, the manner In
which the society itself was incor-
porated was grossly irregular"
Several prominent members have
Withdrawn and insisted that their
names be no longer used on it's sta
tionery. it is said. Among them are
Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske and
Mrs. Simon Baruch, wife Of a wealthy
New York physician.
Mrs. Story made herself subject to
prosecution, it was declared, because
she falsely represented that her So
ciety paid no commissions to solicit
tors. and thus obtained small part
of the proceeds from the Hero Land
Bazaar, in which many accredited war
relief organizations participated.
The alleged payment of a $50 COM
mission to Allen Story for services in
leasing an uptown property for the
society constituted an additional
cause for grand jury action, it was
asserted. Subscription soliciting

the leasing of a house as a soldiers
recreation center, it was explained.
Former Treasurer Is Witness.
Mrs. A. T. Baldwin. wife of New
York manufacturer. who it is declared
was deposed as treasurer of the So
cfety by a faction favorable to Mrs.
Story, was the chief witness during
the grand jury sitting.
Through her counsel Mrs. Story
termed the charges made against her
and her sons the result Of "a dis
gruntlement on the part of the
treasurer of the society (Mrs. Bald
win), who was removed from office
by vote of the organization"
Approximately $4,000 to $1,000 had
been expended to date, she said. The
exact amount was known only to Mrs.
V. Z. Lawrence, the society's treas
urer.

The. New Year.

One of the most eventful years
in the history, not only OF our
country, but of that OF the world
is rapidly closing.
At the beginning Of the year,
the war cloud cast its sombre
shadow over us. Millions of our
citizens. quickly TRANSFORMED
iutosoldiers, were either engaged
or preparing to engage in bloody
conflict. There was anxiety and
gloom in the homes of our peo-
pie. Parents and wives were
daily expecting to receive the
sad intelligence of their loss. In
many homes the official tele.
grams brought the sad informa.
ton. For them the deepes.
sympathy has been extended,
Other homes have been cheered
by the signing of the arrnistice,
the cessation of llostilities and
the reception of letter-announc.
ing, II am safe and we'll"
1t has been a year of the great
scourge of Spanish infuenza
which has caused the death OF
SO many.
In spite of these Affections,
God. has been exceedingly good
to us. We have been favored
with abundant crops. We have
plenty of food for ourselves an(
have been able to make larg'
shipments to the suffering peo
pie Of the old world. For these
things, we should earnestl,
thank a kind heavenly Father.
The darkest hour of the night
is followed by the brightness O

meg confidently look forwarf
to the New Year, anticipating {
.peace which will embrace the
entire world. We may conf

our industries, not to prepare

In many respects our future will
be what We make it. If we dis
play a courage and willingness
to overcome hardslIips, as our
soldiers have done, we may
reasonably expect increased
prosperity.
To all we express the fe1vent
wish that the New Year may

it may prove better than an,

We wish happy New Year.
