Treasurer Embezzles $12,000
New York City, Feb II.—That the
funds of Imperial Lodge of Flks, I.
It O. E., have been stolen for years by
its financial secretary, Henson J. 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.
