Stiles, and that the loss during the period of five years and six months that he has been financial secretary has averaged between $2500 and $3000 yearly, or more than $ 12,000, are the conclusions reached by the accountants now going over the lodge's hooks. Exalted Ruler Brown suspended Stiles last Thursday night and turned him over to the l, nited Fidelity Bonding Company. Exalted Ruler Brown, in a statement lo the press, announced that Imperial Lodge will not suffer serious injury by reason of the alleged large thefts, and urged all Imperials to stand by the mother lodge as never before.
