ST. PAUL. Minn, March 3—(Speclal) ~The Mystic Tollers, Des Molnes; the Modern Brotherhood of America, Mason City; the Knights and Ladies of Security, Omaha, and many other fraternal insur ance orders, are involved In frauds un- covered here by insurance investigators, Which the lodgemen belleve will develop Into a gigantic conspiracy to mulet their lodges out of hundreds of thousands of dollars on “graveyard insurance.” Bupreme Knight Kirkpatrick of the Knights and Ladles of Security Is here from Omaha and has been taking an ac- tive hand in the Investigation, In which he has been alded by State Insurance Commissioner J. J. Hartigan The fraudulent practices have been RO~ ing on for several years, according to in formation given Mr. Hartigan by the in- vestigators. In somo cases deaths have ocourred and claims have been pald. Some recent ones excited suspiclon and were held up pending an Inquiry. Criminal pro- ceedings are probable. Dotectives for the fraternal companies have been at work on the cases for weeks, and the general | officers of the companies hope to fasten | charges of fraud upon the conspirators In some cases the persons insured are claimed to be parties to the frauds, hav- ing secured insurance by false age state- ments. In other cases the insured per- | sons claim total ignorance, and place the blame on officers of the local lodge. The Knights and Ladles of Security are | the most deeply concerned In the affair, | and it is estimated that they have 200 | policies out that have been secured by | traudulent means. Twenty of these have already been cancelled. The Loyal Mystic | Legton, Hastings, Neb., is also deeply In- | volved. The investigaffon has been under way for about four months, and started with a sult filed fn ‘St. Paul agalnst the Knights and Ladies of Security. Harvey E. Hall, attorney for the order, made an investigation and found facts that led him to belleve that a conspiracy was on foot. This soon brought in the general officers of the order and of the Court of Honor, and they have been working steadily. They found that in many cases people were insured in five or six fraternal or- ders who knew nothing about it. A few days ago a feeblo woman of 70 was found in Minneapolls who was “car- rying” $12,000 of insurance, but who de- clared she knew nothing about it.

CRESTON, In, March §-—(Special)— A very delicate and difficult operation was performed upon the § weeks' old child of Mr. and Mrs, Stephen Roborts of Mount Etna at one of the hospitals in this city yesterday afternoon. The oper- ation is one that is rarely attempted and is known In surgery and medical parlanco |as spina-bitida. The child was born with a small portion of the spinal column miss- ing, leaving a small opening through which the spinal cord gradually oomed, forming a tumor the size of a hen's egs, which would have resulted in death in a short time. The operation consisted in removing the tumor, by incialon, then pressing the remainder of the spinal cord back into place, and by making another inclsion in the bones each side of the leak and pressing the two together, a sort of bridge was formed, thus stop- ping the drain of the spinal cord, and it 18 expected the bridged part will unite pormanently. The little patient at the present time is reported as doing nicely. No Substitute, Accept no substitute for IMoley's Honey and Tar.
