Action by Miss Edith Dixon Agzains: the Canadian Order of Foresters-- Case Will Shortly Come Up for Trial. An action has been brought against the Canadian Order of For ésters by Edith Dixon, Verona, in which she claims $1,000 in payment of an insurance policy on the death of her brother, Pte. William Dixon killed at the front Her case ir being handled by Nickle, Farrell & Day. The Order, through their law: vers, have entered a defence and plea has followed The defence i8 a unique one, of great importance and interest In Section 69 of the constitution and laws of the order which was in force at the time of the admission of William Dixon in November, 1914 and has been In force since then, » was stipulated that no benefit shall be payable on account of the death of any member while engaged in naval or military service of ay country ex cept in the defence of the British Em pire, or any part thereof, and that should death result while a member is engaged in such military or naval service of any country except in de fence of the British Empire or any part thereof, the beneficiary or bene ficiaries shall not be entitled to re- ceive the insurance or other benefits but all benefits shall be forfeited to the order From the proofs of death furnished it appears that the death of the said William Dixon oceurred while he was engaged In military service in the European war, which has heen car- ried on. for the past four vears, buf the sald Willlam Dixon did not en- gage In said military service in de fence of the British Pmpire or any par thereof, but on the contrary from, on, or about the Sth day of January, 1918, up to the time of his death was engaged in sald European war, which was a war not for the de fence of the British Empire or any part thereof, but the said war' arose And the said Willlam Dixon engaged therein in defence of Belgium. be- cause of the violation of the neutral- ity of Belgium by the German em- pire, and the violation of treaties be- tween the German empire and Bel glum, and Great Britain declared war against Germany before Germany de- tlared war against Great Britain for the said reasons, and Great Britain and her colonies have, during the past four years, engaged in the said war for these reasons. Therefore, the Canadian Order of Foresters claims that under Section 69 of their constitution and laws. the plaintiff is not entitled to receive the insur- S| ance money claimed. Also, the High Chief Ranger of 'the Canadian Owder of Foresters is sued a circular to all subordinate courts of the order, ineluding Court Piecadilly, No. 383, of which Willlam Dixon was a member, advising the of- : ficers and' mémbers thereof that in {case any members of the order who joined after the 1st of August, 1914, should enlist, they ceased to become i members of the order. This case, which will shortly come up for trial, is certain to evoke a ug} Sreat amount of interest. for in it involved a principle which will af- Ln thousands of insurance policies, and will involve millions of dollars. Owing to the unique nature of the defence, it will probably be looked upon as a test case, POULTRY ASSOCIATION. Will Have an Exhibition on Jan, 21st, 22nd and 23rd. At a well attended meeting of the Kingston Poultry Association, held last evening, it was decided to put on a poultry show on Jan, 21st, 22nd and 23rd, 1919. The president, C. 8B. Anglin, occupied the chair, and a free discussion as to whether to hold « show was participated fn by a num- ber of the members, and it was finally decided by a large majority to go ahead, R. J. Bushell was greatly in favor of holding the show, and his optim- ism, seemed contagious and within five minutes between $30 and $40 was subseribed by the members present to set the ball roiling. Last year's birds were among the finest seen anywhere and the prizes exceedingly generous, 'but it is fully expected the doming show will greatly excel that of last oe the matters decided was to give every Jeturned soldier a pags Values | into the show BOYS PEADED GUILTY.
