0RDEH OF SPARTA ,
ADMITS LARGE DEBTS
Statement in Court Shows Lia
bilities of $163,132.39 and -Assets
of $81,256.78
A statement, showing that the Order of
Sparta, an unincorporated fraternal and
beneficial society, with hundreds of mem
bers, owes $162,132.39 In death benefits,
to meet which It has liabilities of .only
$81,256.78, Is contained In bankruptcy sched
ules filed by John L. Smith, great treasurer
of the order, In tho United States District
Court today.
The Order of Sparta has run the gamut
of court proceedings, culminating In a,
bankruptcy petition being filed against It
by threo widows, beneficiaries of death
boncfit policies, on No ember 23, 1916.
On tho question of Its solvency, tho order
was carried through tho State courts, with
tho Supremo Court deciding that from tho
evidence It had financial stability. It like
wise ran the course In the Federal courts,
up to the Court of Appeals, but tho claims
of creditors, together with the admission
of tho Order that It Is unabte Jo' meet
Its debts, resulted In the financial condition
being set forth today In tho usual schedules.
AlmOBt the entlro Indebtedness Is com
prised In the unsecured claims of bene
ficiaries of death policies. While tho
schedules show tho present condition of the
order, they also contain tho names of
hundreds of living members of tho organi
zation, who have contributed to tho various
funds to obtain benefits, with the statement
that the amounts of their claims are un
known. Benefits would not accrue to tho
bcnaclarlcs, obviously, until tho death of
Iho Insured, and seemingly this Is the
explanation for tho Inability of tho treas
urer to state tho amount of tho claims
of th,o living members.
Other members of tho order endeavored
to hao the bankruptcy proceedings .dis
missed, but failed both In the District Court
and Court of Appeals
In an answer to the petition in bank
ruptcy tho order admitted Its insolvency,

upon It In court proceedings
The assets of the organization consist
of deposits In banks and elsewhere. $72,

CALLAHAN'S ACTIVITY
STIRS COPS' MEETING
Captain's Efforts to Switch Votes to
Gilbert Resented by
Delegates
Delegates assembled In City Hall this
afternoon to elect new officers for the Po
licemen's Beneficiary Association bitterly
resented the activities of Captain Francis
Callahan, of the office of Superintendent of
Pollco Robinson, who asked them to disre
gard their instructions and te for Walter
Gilbert, chief clerk of the Bureau of Police,
as secretary against tho Incumbent, Richard
Bodkin, Manayunk patrol sergeant, who
seeks re-election
Tho Bodkin delegates professed to see
the hand of the now discredited police ad
ministration behind tho activities of Calla
han, who was passing out slips with tho
name of Gilbert on them. Tho Bodkin men
said Callahan did not come as a representa
tive of tho men of tho Superintendents
office, but as representative of the police
administration. Their suspicions were
strengthened by Gilbert's declaration that
ho would serve for $500 a year If elected.
Instead of taking tho regular salary of
$1400.
A year ago Bodkin beat Gilbert for the
place, despite tho fact that Callahan worked
hard for Gilbert.
Thero were many he.itcd arguments be
fore tho voting today. Many delegates
frankly told Callahan that his efforts were
usoless: that they were going to follow
their Instructions; that his position as a
captain would not enable him to move them
to disregard their Instructions.

Evaders of Duty
MEXICAN IS HELD HERE
The search by Federal authorities for
draft evaders will be relentless, according
to an announcement made today. It was
said that tho Government will bend every
effort to run down each man who evaded
the law, regardless of time or expense.
Mnrcus Salvan, a Mxlcan, today was ar
raigned by Todd Daniel, special agent of
the Department of Justice, for not ap
pearing for examination before his local
board. When nrralgned before United
States Commissioner Howard M. Long,
Salvan said ho thought his Btatus as an
alien excused him from complying with
the law. Mr. Daniel testified that tho
prisoner was duly notified to register. Ho
was held In $100 ball,
Out of a population of ISO, the little town
of McKlnley, along the Old York road, lays
claim to having the largest percentage of

ninety young men In all who were within
tho ago limit set by the draft Of these
about forty more expect to bo called In the
near future.
On the charge of having failed to register,
William K. Edclman, of tho banking and
brokerage firm of Edclman & Co, had a
hearing beforo United States Commissioner
Long. Edelinan, basing his belief on several
Insuranco policies, claimed he believed his
ago to be thirty-twd.
Officials of tho Department of Justice
found the record of Edolman's baptism In
St Aloyslus's Church, Pottstown, which
gave his dato of birth as 188D, making him
twenty-eight years old Edclman admitted
the authenticity of this record and said
the whole affair was an honest mistake.
He was released on his own recognizance for
a further hearing on Friday
