SHORT IN HIS ACCOUNTS.
The Late Charles Arnold's Cash Fails
to Foot UP Correctly.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 19-Atlanta was
shocked to-day by the announcement that
the late Charles Arnold, secretary and
treasurer of the Piedmont Exposition
Company, whose death was chronicled in
The city papers only short while since,
had died leaving cOnsideraO ole shortage
in his accounts Mr.. Arnold was a man
who enjoyed unlimited public confidence.
He was an expert accountant and had
often been employed to check the books of
suspected defaulters and exhibit their
shortcomings. In his own person he was
sUpDosed to illustrate the very soul of
honor and integrity. In addition to
the tiduciary capacity IN which, as
stated, he was employed at the time of
his death. he was also secretary and
treasurer of the Georgia Hedge Company
and of St. Phillips Episcopal church. He
occupied the same position IN the Indian
Summer Carnival Company, which held
forth here last fall An examina ton of
his accounts disclosed the fact that he
was behind with the hedge company and
with St. Phillips church, and 1t is now in
timated that his death may not have been
brought about by natural causes.
The exposition and carnival companies
accounts have not yet been looked into,
but fears are entertained that further
shortages Of several thousand dollars may
be discovered there.
AVOIDED MAKING STATEMENTS.
Arnold was asked repeatedly to make
a financial statement in regard to the car
nival. but from time to time managed to
avoid doing So The shortage so far as
certained in his accounts with the hedge
company amounts to 81, 0S5.
Arnold's methods of covering up his
shortages are said to be very evident He
tore from his expense accounts pages by
the handful, changed the paging to cor
respond and raised checks by writing
hundreds in advance of dollars in letters
and figures. These he had the president
of the company to endorse before they
were raised and on their return from
bank he would destroy them. Seven
raised checks have already been accounted
for, but this is not supposed to be all.
The church books show a shortage
Of s62.
Nobody knows what will come to light
when the carnival exposition books are
looked over.
1t is also stated that Arnold raised per-
sonaI notes after obtaining Endorsements
for small amounts, and in this way OBJ
tanned considerable funds. No one can
say what became of the money. Arnold
made 81, 500 year and had only his wife
20 support. He did not seem to be dissi-
pated and he left nothing.
It develops that President Joe Kings
berry of the Exposition company gave
Arnold a check for $40, which, when
cashed at the bank, had been raised to
1915.
Rumors are afloat that Arnold is $500
behind with this company, but these
have not been verified. James r. Wyllie,
the former president of this company,
when seen tonight declined to talk

A FIGHT OVER POLITICS.
An Editor and Senator Knocked Each
Other Down at Richmond.


Richmond, Va, Dec. is. S. Noting
ham, one of the editors of the Norfolk
Landmark, and State Senator Herbert, of
Princess Anne county, had personal en-
counter here tonight at the Exchange
hotel. Mr.. Nottingham gave the senator
the lie Blows were passed, and both
were floored, but friends interfered be-
fore more serious consequences oc-
Cured.
The cause Of the difficulty originated at
the state capitol building tonight. The
Senate was in executive session over the
confirmation of K. c.. Murray as superin-
tendent of public schools of Norfolk city.
Senator Herbert announced in the cham
Der that Mr.. Murray was not
a democrat, etc, and the matter
was passed by. This coming to the
ears of Mr.. Nottingham, he walked up to
a crowd near where Senator Herbert was
standing, and pronounced it lie. Later
the gentlemen met at the, Exchange hotel
where the remark was repeated with the
result as stated. Mr.. Murray is the
present superintendent of schools in Nor
folk, and is also partner of Mr. Noting
ham in the publication of the Landmark.

aamely try to uphold Senators Worst,

We just want to say that that kind Of

marshal. A few of our people,
mostly those who pay no taxes, have
an idea that Marshal Hegge has
served the people long enough and
his scalp will be sought after. This
is generally the case with a man
who has made a good official-and
Mr.. Hegge certainly has. He has
done his duty as far as he can con-
sidering that he is opposed by some
who ought to give him aid in the
discharge of his duties. When a
man is elected to any public Office
and is sworn in to do his duty,
every citizen should stand at his
back for the proper enforcement of
the laws, for by SO doing they only
express by their deeds what they in
tended when they elected him to
Office. If the town knows when 1t is
we'll off they will certainly re-elect
the present marshal.
