MERCENARY MOTIVE
Law and Order Head Says So.
ciety Is Not Maneuvering to
Get $50,000 Legacy ' (
t
ALIVE AND VIGOROUS '
I
Attack Declared "Malicious and With-
out n Grain of Truth
in It"
D Clarence (Ilbbonej, Indignant at .
charge published this morning that the
l.tvv nnd Order Society, said to be well,
nigh defunct, was being resuscitated for
the purposo of claiming a $50 000 legacy
alleged to have been left the organization
under Iho terms of the will of William
II Claik who died In 1911 nserted vigor,
otislv that the society was never more
firmly Intrenched than now and that It hsj
held Its annual meetings with unfailing
legulirltv despite the published statement
In the contrary
Moreover Mr Olhbotiev denied that th
sum of $50 000 was Involved A sum much
less thin that, he would not speak of It
morn definitely than "as a few little prop,
ejlles was beciueathed he said bv Clark,
who left his entire estate to his sister,
Luclnda C Hodges, with the provision that
upon her death tho socletv was to get the
property Miss Hodges died this year
llie attack made on the Law and Order
soilelv ' Mr Cllliboney said at the organ
I'lllnns olllee nt IJO Walnut street and
the attempt to disprove Its existence Is a
malicious one and thero Isn t a grain of
truth In the wholo thing
' The Law and Order Society has been
pegging nw ty for the abolition of the
lleiiior trafllc for more than twenty years
and the signs outside of this office and on
the steps lending up to it have been there
since 1101
pri;ci:di:nts for compensation
"Those people who criticize my belief
that the lleiuor dealers should be com
pensated upon being put nut of business
hive lost sight of the fact that virtually
all of the countries that have attempted
to nbollsb liquor or to limit Its sale have
adopted tho compensation method
As far back ns 1862, when the Russian
Government took over the vodka business,
tho Individual dealers were compensated
The conseeiucnco was that when the war
came along all the Czar had to do was to
turn the key on the door The Oovornment
owned the business, the shutting off of the
sale wns a simple matter When France
abolished absinthe In 1115 fcho bought out
the dealers Switzerland did the same thing
In 1910 and In that year L'ngland passed
the consolidated Hauor net reducing the
number nf saloons, by compensating the.
dealers bought out '
' The Law and Order Society Is alive, all
right Mr Glbboney continued "It is not
incorporated, how over, because we do not
wish to have a pack of suits on our hands
every time we have saloonkeepers Indicted
Now every time a man wants to sue us hi
cannot sue us as a body, but must file a
number of Individual suits Our work Is
extremely dangerous, we are not Incor
porated as a matter of protection "
WILL INDICATH DIRECTORS
Replying to tho Intimation published this
morning that Mr Olbboney's reluctance to
name the present 'directors of the society
denoted that thero wcro no directors, Mr.
Glbboney said that In a few days "when
all this Ins blown over," he would willingly
divulge the names
Tho Fidelity Trust Company Is acting
as trustee of the Clark estate Tomorrow
the audit nnd account of the estate comei
up before Judge Anderson In tho Orphans'
Court According to this mornlag's pub
lished statement the nearest Clark relatives
who would probably contest the legacy to
the Law nnd Order Society Include Wil
liam Clark Hodges, Mary E Restlne, A.
i: Wlttlg and Robert L Hodges. The
auditing department of theFldellty Truit
Company disclaimed any knowledge of
these relatives or their whereabouts
