Try to Disrupt Lodge New York, July 5. W. A. Fraier of Omaha, soveereign commander of the Woodmen of the World, in his annual report submitted to the Woodmen's national convention here today, described the "obstacles which were thrown in the way of the management by those who are al ways opposed to any new departure regardless of its virtue," and. ex plained what measures were to be put forth to combat the insurging elements. ."To harass the management the insurging faction brought numerous suits in different states, all of which were decided in favor of the society," Commander Fraser said. Solvency Increased. ) In the prelude he set forth the evo lution from what ' he termed the 'unscientific plan of rating fraternal societies from their inception until the , present date, when most socie ties are conforming with the -laws requiring adequacy of rate's." It was through his suggestion, the rendrt' continued, that the Wood men of the World made 'a substan- uai increase in rail's as lur uav.ii as 1901. and at almost every national, convention, since that date he strongly urged plans for adequacy and accomplished his purpose "to perpetuate the society at the conven tion of 1919, which in one stroke in creased the society's solvency from 60 to 101 per cent." Makes Recommendations. - The uniform rank is an important adjunct to any fraternal organiza tion, Mr. Fraser stated, and he strongly recommended reorganiza tion of this branch on an extensive scale , ; Other : steps recommended in cluded erection of a monument in France for the organization's soldier dead, establishment of a home for aged and a sanitarium for members 1 f 1 1, mm It isn't every woman who can go out and catch or trap her own cos tume.

Chicago, July 5. Frank (lately Franz) Fetzer, 12, has realized his ambition. He has been admitted to the United States, which, to him represents heaven and the ultimate of all desires. Alter travelling all the way from Czecho-Slovakia by himself he was held up at the immigration office until some one. was found who would give the government assurance the boy would not become a public charge. Frank Fabigan of Chicago promptly gave that assurance and the boy stepped into the land of the free on July 4, a most appropriate occasion. Lived Ages of Horror. Although but 12 the boy has lived ages of horror and suffering which show in his face. In the little town of Atraubitz his father was a small merchant. With the outbreak of hostilities he marched away with his regiment. A French bullet killed him. Then Atraubitz was invaded and the boy and his mother fled to Vi enna. . Hunger, grief and privation were too much for the mother and she perished. The lad thca had to shift for himself and in a country where everybody was on the verge of starvation. He managed to exist on scraps he found in the streets, bits of food occasionally handed him by sympathetic people, and his clothing was such as he could salvage from the charnel houses. He does not recall just how he got to the seashore and managed to stow himself away in an ocean liner. He made a little money selling papers and the officers of the boat brought him to Quebec, From there he worked his way to Detroit, where immigration officers stopped him un til Mr. Fabigan came to the rescue. "This lad has had experience that will make him a good citizen of this country," said Mr. Fabigan. "He will appreciate the blessings of the United States. The first thing I did was to change his name from Franz to Frank, and he will be taught English as rapidly as pos sible. He thinks the United States is heaven after what he has gone through, and I intend he shall grov up with that sat"; thought." Girl Falls Off Elevated Platform But Is Lucky New York, July 5.

Motors Take Heavier Toll On Fourth Than Explosives Chicago, July 5. Reports from all parts of the world on Fourth of July celebrations indicate that prob ably the most intense old-fashioned American observance with fireworks and explosives was in Germany, at Coblenz, where American "dough boys" held forth with noise galore. Most cities of America reported more deaths from automobile acci dents and drowning than' from ill timed explosions of firecrackers and Roman candles, which gives birth to the news that the age in which the explosives' toll of the Fourth was greater than the casualty list in the battle of Lexington is finally a matter of history. Philadelphia and Boston both reported yester day as the "safest and sanest Fourth" of history, and most other large cities of the east reported only a few mishaps. , IOE30I at a hospital here from an unusual injury' in an accident A motor bus in which she was riding brushed against the side of a bridge near here ; Monday.
