Money In Trcnsury.
DES MOINES, May 9. (Special.) Officers
of the Modern Woodmen of America In this
stato are exercised over the alleged defalca
tion of their clerk nt Marshalltown nnd the
complications which followed. Clyde W.
Morso was clerk of tho camp, which has
over 600 members, and n few days aso he
disappeared, It was supposed he had gone
awny on a visit, but when It was found he
had checked out his bank account Investi
gation followed. It was found be had bor
rowed money nt many places and raised
money on checks offered where ho had no
account. Then It was discovered he had not
remitted his last collections ns clerk for
tho Modern Woodmon. Tho first Informa
tion In regard to this came from tho head
officers of tho order, who notified the local
officers of the camp that It had been sus
pended cntlro for non-payment of the dues
of the 600 mcmbeiB.
Morso hnd made the collections nnd failed
to remit. The nmount tho lodge claims duo
Is $710.40. The cntlro nmount of money
which he took away with him was probably
$1,000. Tho most serious complication was
with regard to the Insurance of tho mem
bers of tho Woodmen. Tho whole camp hnd
been suspended nnd policies wcro nil void.
Hut tho officers of the camp telegraphed
tho amount of the payment nnd an expla
nation and it Is expected tho matter will bo
settled without loss to the members. Morse
was under bonds, His father has stated
that ho will pay all his obligations nnd that
no person wilt loso by his departure.
In vl(n(lui to Minister Vu.
United States Minister Conger carried
with him to Washington nn urgent Inven
tion from Chancellor Craig of Drake uni
versity to Minister Wu Ting Fang to come to
Dcs Moines nnd speak before tho Des
Moines Chautauqua during the summer ses
sion. The Invitation urged that It would bo
a graceful thing for the Chinese minister
to the United States to speak In the homo
city of tho United States minister to China.
In addition to this, Minister Conger ndded
his personal solicitation to tho committee's
Invitation. Mlnhtor Conger has stated that
he has the highest personal regard for Min
ister Wu nnd looks upon him as n great rcp
icsentatlve of his nation.
Some friction was aroused hero by the
attack of a local minister on the Chautau
qua commlttco for having invited Minister
Wu. He denounced Wu as a liar and used
harsh language of him In many ways. Hut
tho general Impression Is thnt Minister Wu
would bo a drawing card for the Chautau
qua. In caBe he consents to come to Des
Moines an effort will bo made by tho friends
of Minister Conger to havo his leave of
absence extended thirty dnya so that he can
be here to Introduce the Chinese minister.
