ORDER OF PROTECTION Members of the New England Order of Proteetion in this city will be Interested in the discovery of a shortage of $109,000 in the funds under the control of Su- preme Treasurer John P. Sanborn of Newport, R. L, well known here. It is reported by Supreme Warden, Judge H. Wilziams Scott of Darre, Vt., htat §58,- 000 cash afid $51,000 in bonds is missing. Supremeé Warden's Statement Judge Scott says that the organiza- tion will suffer o loss and that its sound- nees has not been impaired in the least as any losses will be covered by.Mr. Sanborn's bond, which is for $100,000. He is bonded by the Royal Indemnity company and the United State Fidelity and Guaranty eompany. Judge Scott said he believed the money had been lost in stock speculation and that the bonds had been used as collater- al in stock transactions. Some of fhe bonds have been traced to brokers' of- fices, according to Judge Scdtt, and he expressed the hope that some of them would be recovered.

They stated that 'he attempted suicide when the condition of his ac- upreme treasurer was reveal- supreme auditor and other ex- pert_investigators. Bhortage Discovered Last Week Phe shortage was discovered last week W the supreme auditor went from Boston to Newport and met San- born at the offiee of the Newport Mer- cury, of which he is the publisher. When the auditor anounced that he was " there for the purpose of going through the books, there was an em- phatic _protest “rom Sanborn, - -The books were cxamined however and the acconnts are said to have been found in startling condition. The supreme officers were immedi- ately summoned from Boston and San- born resigned as treasurer. Judge Scott said he had been unable to secure any information from Same born because the latter was in a state of collapse. Mr. Scott declined to make any statement as to how long the short- age had existed 0s as to.the way in which Sanborn had used the money. The bonding companies have been notified anl have requested the supreme offiser to furnish an itemized account of the shortage. The supreme officers and the bond- ing company officials are to take action as soon as Sanborn is able to sit up. All of the subordinate lodges of the order have been notified by the supreme warden of the resignation and instructed to make no more payments to Sauborn, but to make all remittances to the' su- preme lodge office. Nothing is sald in the notification regarding 4 suocessor to Sanborn. Elected for 29th Term Sanborn was re-clected at the 33rd annual meeting of the supreme lodge, in Tremont Temple, Boston, May 11 for the 29th successive term. At that time a miotion was introduced fo° have. the traesurer turn over the reserve fand of the order amounting to approximatety $900,000 to a Boston bank or trust com- pany as custodian. The matter was re- ferred to the executive committee, of which William F. Worrall of Woon- socket, treasurer of the grand lodge of Rhode Island is 4 member. Later the executive committee ordered that all tunds of the order in the hands of the National Exchange bank at Newport be turned over to the Boston depositories of the order, and a committee was ap- pointed ‘to arrange with one - of the Boston banking companies to aet as the trustee of tie fund. The supreme treasurer handled about $100,000 every month an da part of the funds were deposited in the Newport bank. All of the reserve fund, in the form of securities and cash, have been kept partly in Newport and the re- mainder in Boston. Mr. Sanborn, who is a former state senator of Rhede Island, is ome of the leading figures in that state, and is one of the best known officials of the order. He has taken a Keen interest in the or- vanization for more than a generation. At the 32nd annual convention of thé Grndd Lodge of Rhode Island, held in 0dd Fellows' hall, this ecity, April 2 last, he was highly honored on the com- pletion of 26 years of service as su- breme secretary. A reception was held in Kis honor, during which a handsome colonial grandfather's clock was present- *d fo him. Reassures Polieyholders Insurance Commissioner Clarence W. Hobbs of Worcester in charge of the in- surance interests of this state is in Chicago.” Deputy Commissioned Arthur E. Linell of Quincy said last night that ssince the law was changed in 1912 the ingurance department of the state has the right to examine fraternal organi- zation's at any time, and that if the department sees fit it will inquire inte tie present case. The matter, he deglar- | ed, haf not been brought officially to his_attention, but he said there was no reason for the policy holders of the or- ganization to feel the slightest alarm. owLs Plans were completed at the regular meefing of the Owls Tuesday evening, for the carnival mext week.
