 ROUNDING INTO SHAPE:
 BOTH ARE CONFIDENT

The crowds will stand on their seats and roar Wednesday night when Gunner" Tommy Slavin on the U. s. s. Wasmuth steps into the squared circle to meet Kid" Nickeroff, the flashing glove singer of Seward.
 Gunner" will weigh in at about v.32 pounds and the Kid, about 13O pounds. One of Stewards fight fans, watching Gunner" work out, said the Navy man had everything on the Kid" but a horse blanket, and another claim ed that the battling bluejacket would be thin gravy for the lo- cal champ.
 But that will be definitely de- cided Wednesday night.
 Both fighters are fast and pack a wicked punch. The Navy man is getting himself in condition for a fast bout and his suppor- ters lay odds on his winning with K. 0. in the second round
 The Kids last bout was with Flash Whitney and ended when the Kid put him to sleep in the fourth stanza.

NJ. w. A. Rate Change Held
Valid By Court Decision

Springfield, Ill, March s. Revers-
ing its previous decision, the Ill
inois Supreme court has approved
the rate changes made by the Head
Camp of Modern Woodmen of
America, holding that the Society
had authority to make the changes
in it's effort to maintain solvency.
The case, which was decided for
the Head Camp of Modern Wood
men, is that of Jenkins and others
against Talbot and others, which
! was originally tried before the
Circuit court of Cook county last
August, wherein certain groups of
members opposing the action of
the Head Camp sought to obtain an
Injunction preventing the changes
authorized at the June session of
the Head Camp.
This petition for injunction was
denied by Circuit Judge William ".
| Brothers, who entered a decree
completely affirming the Head
Camp action of Modern Woodmen
of America.
From this decree, an appeal was
taken to the Illinois Supreme court
and on Dec. 20, 1929, that Court
! handed down an opinion holding
that the action by the Head Camp
to remedy the existing conditions
was necessary and that the Society
had the right and that it was it's
duty to do what it attempted to do
namely: to place the Society on a
sound financial basis.
The Court held, however, that an
act of the Illinois legislature on
june 16, 1919, purporting to author
ize the action taken by the Head
Camp was unconstitutional because
it embraced a subjuct not express
ed in it's title, and that therefore
the allotment of the surplus funds
on hand under that statute was
void.
The petition for rehearing filed
by the Society took the position
that the action of the Head Camp
was not under the statute in
question, and that therefore the de-
cree entered in the Circuit court
which denied the injunction that
had been sought, should be af
firmed.
The Society's plan, as adc-,ted,
provided for payment of adequate
rates to replace former inadquate
rates as based on the Society's
mortality table, more favorable
table than those forming the basis
of other insurance rates.
To aid older members of the
Society, more than S30,000,000 of
the $50 100000 on hand was allotted
to the older members so that those
over 70 could receive cash with
-drawals or paid-up insurance val
ues, while those of ages of 81, 68,
and 50 were given rate lower than
the level rate for those ages, with
! the privilege of cash withdrawal
and paid-up insurance values at ~
Those under 81 were given a sum
sufficient to make up their de-
ficiencies for one-year period. The

sum of SO, 900, 600 was allotted t.
members joining since July 1, 1919
that being the amount of their re.
quired reserve.
In it's opinion, the Court said
1T seems clear that the appellee
Society had ample power under this
act to effect readjustment such
as here attempted. Under the auth.
critics herein cited, it became the
duty of the Society when it became
evident that the methods of it's po
Grafton were unsound, to readjust
it's affairs so that it would proceed
tn a sound basis.
This it has the authority under
the central act of 1893 to do. This
being so, it does not become neces-
sary to consider the validity of the
act of 1919 assailed.
1--WE find no error in the decree
of the Circuit court, and it will
therefore be affirmed.
A brief message was received at
the Head Office of the Woodmen in
Rock Island before noon today, in.
forming the officers of the action
by the Supreme court. No state,
ment was issued, pending receipt
of the opinion in full by the
officers.
