FIVE THOUSAND FOR SPINNEY
Annual 8Ury of Banker Union Prsstfsct
Fixed Aftsr a Tight.
ORDER CLOSES ITS TUMULTUOUS SESSION
Bylaws and C'oollmtlo Be Be
v J serf Splnaey Declares Saprtnt
Court'! Mandate Will Be
Compiled With.
The whlte-wlnged dove of peace hovered
over the closing session of the Bankers'
fnlon of the World at Crelghton hall yes
terday afternoon. There whs considerable
debating, motioning and amending when It
came to fix the salary of the supreme pres-
ident, Dr. E. C. Pplnney of Grand Island.
W. 11. Thonrpson, chairman of the com
mittee on law, started the ball rolling by
making a motion that the president's sal
ary be placed at $5,000 per annum. This
precipitated a general discussion, with the
result that In a few minutes the chairman
had a motion, several amendments to the
motion and a number of amended amend
ments, all In connection with Dr. Spinney's
salary. Delegate Frans moved that the
salary be fixed at fc!,5u0; Delegate Q. F.
Pierce of Des Molnea thought that $10,000
would be a fair compensation; O. B. Dillon
of the committee on law then moved for
$3,0. At this point Delegate Canfleld of
Minnesota made a ringing talk, saying:
"Let us understand where we are, as so
many things have occurred since January
1 that we don't know whether there Is $l.uu0
In the treasury. Are you going to compel
us to do Impossible things? The only sen
sible and logical thing to do is to allow the
board of directors some latitude. I pro
pose to resign If you are going to fix an
arbitrary amount. I would be In favor of
naming a maximum salary. If Dr. Bplnney
can earn $5,000 a year and I hope he can
I am In favor of that amount. For heaven's
sake let us work for the Interests of this
organisation. If we can arrange with Dr.
Spinney to work for 1000 until we get on
our feet ugain, let us do that."
Decide on Fire Thousand.
Delegate Hopper of Omaha then made an
amendment to the original motion, fixing
the salary at an amount not to exceed
$5,000, the exact amount to be paid to be
left to the discretion of the board of direc
tors. It Anally was agreed to fix the su
preme president's salary at a figure not to
exceed $3,000, at the discretion of the board.
It Is said this officer has been receiving $600
per month during his last term of office.
The salaries of the supreme secretary,
banker and correspondent were fixed at $1,
fcOO, $600 and $1,200. respectively.
The law committee reported certain
amendments to the constitution and by
laws, which changes were ratltled by the
delegates. The moat Important change was
one whereby the voting by proxies at the
grand lodge is abolished.
After allowing various expenses incident
to the meeting and installing the newly
elected officers, the grand lodge adjourned
sine die.
After the meeting some of the moving
spirits of the anti-Spinney faotlon stated
that they accepted their defeat for the time
being, yet they Intimated that the end is
not yet. It Is said a complete report of
the proceedings will be compiled by the
late supreme secretary, banker and medical
adviser and submitted to the attorney gen
eral at Lincoln with a view of determining
whether the actions of the session have
been legally performed. They contend that
at least six of the delegates were not mem
bers of the organisation, and that sixteen
proxies were voted, besides other Irregu
larities in the proceedings. It also was
stated that there Is more or less discord
in four of the local lodges, and that com
ing meetings of these lodges will be fraught
with much Interest. These four lodges con.
tain a membership of about 400.
Says II Will Obey the Caart.
In speaking of the dispatch from Lincoln
which stated that the re-election of Dr.
C. K. Spinney as head of the Bankers
Union of the World, according to the of
ficers of the state Insurance department.
Is without effect unless alleged irregular
ities complained of are rectified. Dr. Spin
ney Bald:
"Everything will be arranged according
to the orders of the court Two of the
orders of the court already have been
compiled with and the third which provides
that I am not to receive any money from
the order with the exception of such sal
ary as may be voted me by the board of
directors, will be taken care of. At pres
ent, the order owes me quite a large
amount of money, my claims for which
probably will be waived. In this way the
books will be cleared and the order of the
court carried out."
The injunction issued from Judge Troup's
court to restrain the organisation from
voting proxies or electing officers did not
have the effect desired by Its author and
consequently it was withdrawn. One of
the bolters in speaking of the matter said:
"We made up our minds there is nothing
In sight worth fighting for. The organisa
tion owes at present about $50,000 in death
claims and has about $2,000 on hand with
Which to meet its liabilities. In addition
to the death losses the officers' salaries
have not been paid during a period covering
about five months and this unpaid item
amounts to about $5,300, in addition to the
death losses: At present the total reoelpts
of the torder are only about $3,000 per
month."
A portion of the morning was spent In
modifying the constitution to fit the orders
of the supreme court. These orders,
among other things, provide that the board
of directors shall not Include supreme of
ficers of the order and that the board shall
consist of at least eight members.- Nine
members were elected at Wednesday's
meeting. The order also provides that no
money shall be paid out except upon the
approval of the board of directors and that
the supreme president shall renounce all
claims against the association except such
alary as may be voted to him by the
board of directors.
One of the leading members of the or
ganization In speaking of the re-election of
Dr. E. C. Spinney as supreme president
aid:

of the order is what is necessary to bring
it out of the trouble in which it has been
Involved during the lost several months.
In order to reorganise, we found It neces
sary to elect an entire new set of officers
with the exception of Dr. Spinney, and he
was retained in the position of supreme
president because he is thoroughly familiar
with all details of the affairs of the con
cern and is the only man whom we could
select who would be famlllnr enough with
the affairs of the organization to help It
out of trouble. Miss Burdock also was re
tained as supreme correspondent for much
the same reasons."
Will Revise Bylaws.
W, H. Thompson, chairman of the law
committee, said after the morning meeting:
"We will immediately take steps to re
vise tho bylaws of the association in such
a way that the business can be conducted
along safe lines. We will soon have mat
ters adjusted so the order will be estab
lished upon a firm foundation, and after it
Is in that condition we will see that it Is
kept that way."
The matter of reinstating members who
have dropped out during the recent trouble
of the order was taken up at the meeting
and a resolution passed providing that such
members as have lapsed can be reinstated
upon presentation of a medloal certificate,
showing they are In a good state of health,
and by paying their dues and assessments
for the month of May.
M. T. Bwarts, supreme banker, submitted
his report for the two years since the last
general meeting, which was. received end
placed on file. Supreme Secretary E. H.
Packard also submitted a report of the
affairs of the organization for the last year,
which was accepted and placed on ti e.
