82 THE SAN F RANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1901 POLTIES SPLTS MODERN TROUANS The Order Is Sued for a Life Insurance Policy. Grand Treasurer Dalton and Secretary Long at Outs. Oskland Office San Francisco Call 1118 Broadway, Sept. 7. The order of Modern Trojans has struck upon the rock of politics. It has fallen before the opposing Greeks, and while the directors and organizers are making every effort to save it a suit has been filed for an unpald policy and there is & considerable disaffection among_the members. The sult was brought by Mrs. Ann C. Mitchell for a policy upon her husbend’s life. She claims that he died on March 24 of this year and that settle- ment has been refused. But the Modern Trojans have proved themselves unlike their ancient name- sakes, Internal dissension has rent them $n twain, and more of the troubles of the order are due to local politics than to the e n upon which they diiterences between Grand M.

He showed how the or- zation could be made to make money y his plan. The principal feature of this plan, different from other organizations of similar object, was that when a death claim matured and there was no money with which to meet it a certificate should e issued by the order for the money bearing interest and payable when money should come into the treasury. By this means it was thought that the organiza- tion would never have to face bankruptey under any stances. Order Grows Rapidly. So the Supreme Lodge of Modern Tro- jans was organized, with 8. G.

Because he tore the flag of the United States from the badge he wore, Frederick Parsons, an avowed anarchist, has been | expelled by practically a unanimous vote from the local union No. 36, United Broth- erhood of Carpenters and Joiners of Amer- fea. Tke act which led to this prompt and drastic move by the union occurred on Labor .day, when Parsons ripped the cicssed flags that are a part of the unlon’s bacge off the emblem and threw the in- | signia on the ground. Several members witnessed the act and favored immediate action, but were restrained. The matter was brought before the vnion at its regular meeting Friday | night. A committee, compofed of C. F. | Murdoch, John Shea, 8. W. Getchell, J. | Foster and William Griffiths, was appoint- | ed to investigate.

ERWOERTWANTS PROPERTY BACK Wife Refuses to Return His Deeds as She Agreed. Oakland Office San Francisco Call 1118 .Broadway, Sept. 7. C. H. ‘'W. Verwoert of Oakland is sorry now that he deeded all his property to his wife and he would like to get it. back. Since Verwoert transferred his possessions to Mrs. Verwoert two months ago in an attempt to avold the eonsequences of a Justice’s lawsuit he has had a falling out with his wife, who refuses now: to return to’him what he, claims to be his, amount- ing to'something like $50,000. In“the course | of ‘events, however, Verwoert ' may again coine into possession of “the- property, as suit has been filed to have the’property transfers set aside on.-the ‘ground that they were fraudulent. 3 Anticipating a suit by-the aréhitectural firm of Cunningham & Poljteo_for the re- covery of money for services performed, YVerwoert conveyed all his property on July-11 last to: his wife, with the under- standing that it would be returned to him on demand. Then when suit was brought against him Verwoert confessed judgment in’ the Justice’s Court for $261, the amount of Cunningham & Politeo’s claim. The judgment and on September 7 an execution was is- sued agalnst Verwoert's property. But when .the constable sought to levy tne execution he found' nothing upon which he could lay his hands. had taken wings. In the meantime, however, Mr. Ver- woert and Mrs. Verwoert had had a dis- agreement over something, which re- sulted in a demand from &Mr. Verwoert that' his property be returned to him a cording to agreement. This woert refused to do. erty now, s : The husband became frightened then and threatened to take steps to recover. But the suit instituted to-day by Cun- ningham & Politeo promises to end all controversy between husband and wite, for if the transfers are decided by the courts to be illegal Verwoert will get his property back. of a decision for the architects, so Mr. Verwoert is not worrying much. He would rather pay $261 than lose $50,000. —_— FEELING OF SORROW AND REGRET IN OAKLAND German Methodists Want Dissemina- tion of Anarchist Literature Made a Crime. OAKLAND, Sept. 7.—The feeling in Cakland over the shooting of the Presi- dent is one of the greatest regret and sor- row. President McKinley's special trip to Oakland to visit the school children is re- membered as a special compliment to this clty. for in the midst of all of his trouble and’ the sickn®ss of his wife he found time to cross the bay for that purpose. The conference of the German Metho- dist churches of California is in session at the Twenty-third avenue German Metho- | dist Church. This conference to-day sent a long telegram of sympathy to Mrs. Kirley and passed a resolution expres ing the hope that legislative bodies, bo State and national, would make the dis- semination of anarchistic ideas a penal offense. * . Bishop- Charles C. McCabe, who is in attendance upon this conference, and who is a warm personal friend of the Presi- | dent, sald: ““This nation has a right t protect itself against these dangerous men who incite to crime. treason and murder.” The Rev.

Culmination of a Quarrel Between Two Women in West Berkeley. —_— BERKELEY, Sept. 7.—Ignoring the or- ders of the attending physician, the guardians of little Harry Ward moved the boy last night from one house to another when he was dangerously ill with diph- | theria, and in a few hours the child was | dead. The circumstances of this strange night transfer have caused Deputy Cor- | oner Streightif to investigate the case. The child is the son of Mrs. Matilda Ward of Fifth street, West Berkeley. The lad returned last Thursday from a visit to Mill Valley and complained of a sore | throat. He was supposed to be suffering from an attack of the mumps and was treated for that complaint at first. His mother had been attending the Spiritualist | camp-meeting. The neighbors charge that | she gave the boy little attention, claiming she would leave him in the morning and not return until late at night. The child finally went to a friend of the family, Mrs. Captaim Lockyer, who. lives on Sixth street. Here it was noticed that his throat was worse, and Dr. Gladding was summoned. He came Friday even- ing, and on examination pronounced the | case diphtheria, Strict orders were given not to move the child to its own home, as the case was deemed critical. | At this juncture Mrs. Ward returned | from the camp-meeting. She claims that she found Mrs. Lockyer under the influ- ence of liquor and acting hysterically. She was considered to be disturbing the child, and Mrs. Ward decided to disobey the doctor and carry the boy on a mat- tress through the strcets to his own home. This was dome. and Dr. Gladdin on his visit this morning found the chil { dying. While working on the boy with | antitoxin death took place at $:30 a. m. Health Officer Rowell was notified and | placed both houses under quarantine. This morning Mrs. Lockyer was found to be | breaking the quarantine and running back and forth between the two houses. Marshal Kerns was notified and succeeded in keeping her in her house without ar- resting her. At first Dr. Cladding refused to sign the death certificate, and Deputy Coroner Streightif made an investigation. Mrs. Lockyer charged the boy's mother with aving deserted him to attend camp-meet- | ing, while the mother accuses Mrs. Loc yer of interfering in her family affairs and of acting so as to make it impossible for the boy to remain in her house. Mean- | while both families are now under quar- | | antine. Dr. Gladding finally signed the certificate. | @itk @ AIDS THIEVES AND 15 ROBBED | Alleged Strikers Force Old Man to Give Up Money.
