Dispute Over Authority In DAR Leadership Row
Washington reports a heated controversy within the Daughters of the American Revolution over the discharge of Mise Agnes Gerald by President General Matthew T. Scott for insubordination. Gerald, backed by her attorney, claims only the board of directors could remove her, while Scott and supporters allege authority. Salary disputes linger as salaries run without recording secretary approval. Circulating circulars frame the fight as revolutionary and constitutional questions loom at the convention. The clash involves Mrs Donald McLean and Miss Gerald’s late secretary ties, with potential shifts in DAR leadership on the horizon.

Perpetual Life Money Scheme and Insurance Inquiry
New York on April 1 reports Superintendent Hotchkiss reopens the insurance investigation as Browne and Edward E. McCall plan a gigantic financial institution with perpetual life. Browne claims he organized the International Banking and Trust Company and says he did not act as a representative of McCall or New York Life. He sought a charter to empower a corporation with all powers of an individual, later renaming the company from American Pool Mortgage Guarantee to International Banking and Trust. A separate note from Fusburg describes 4,000 citizens and many women denouncing political corruption as the grand jury and council members probe misconduct.
