WEBER WAS SHORT.
The E1-School Commissioner OF Charleston
County Behind in BIS ofice-The
Shortage is S1,237.
ESPECIAL to Atlanta Constitution. ]

Especial to Atlanta Constitution.
COLUMBIA, S. c., February IA
great sensation has been created III
South Carolina by the announcement
officially given out to-day by Superin-
tendent of Education Mayfeld of the
defalcation of John L. Weber, school
commissioner of Charleston County,
for several years. The amount OF pee
ulation is 81, ,237. The shortage extends
over several years. Why it has not
been discovered before has not been ex-
planned, but there are insinuations that
other Charleston officials may be i'm
plicated, aud that further startling de-
velopments may result.
Weber was connected with The News
and Courier, and was at the same time
school commissioner. He recently re-
signed both positions and accepted the
position of professor of English lhera-
ture in Trinity College, North Carolina.
Since he left the State, the defalcation
was discovered. Weber not only
raised school pay certificates by insert
ing figures in the legitimate amount,
but got trustees to sign others, which
were to pay for school supplies, which
he alleged to have purchased. Raving
complete confidence in him, they
signed the warrant for small amounts
usually, which he afterwards "ralsed."
WEBER QUIETLY ARRESTED.
The matter has been known in Off
cial circles for some time. Recently
Governor Tillman telegraphed Weber
to come to South Carolina, which be
did. He was quietly arrested in Char
lesion and gave bond and returned to
Trinity College. The exposure was
made public to-day and the evidence
seems indisputable against Weber.
Unless he skips his bond the penIten-
tiary is undoubtedly his lot.
Weber is highly connected in the
State. He has wife and two small
children. He got good salary as a
newspaper man and as commissioner,
bnt his downfall is attributed to high
social aspirations which he did not
have money to keep up, to gambling
generally and dealing in futures.

THE BoEEToURT SHORTAGE.
Career OF the Late Treasurer for That
County.

County.
E. j. McCulloch, late treasurer OF
Botetourt county, is said TO be in
trouble with the county and State au-
thorities over large amount of money
it Is claimed he received for taxes and
has not yet turned into the State treas
ury. M d. Obenshain, Of this city, one
of McCulloch's bondsmen, has received
official notice of the shortage, which is
placed at S13,4OO
Mr.. McCulloch was, few years ago,
one of the most prominent young Demo.
cratic politicians of Botetourt county
and was elected to the treasuryship, the
best Office in the county, as a reward for
his services He allowed Malone to
beguile him into the Republican fold.
He thereby lost his hold on 5he people
of the county, who are mostly Demo.
ccatic, and was succeeded two years ago
by M G. Cahoon.
During the boom period at Buchanan
McCulloch was engaged in the real es
tate business there and is said to have
invested heavily. He owns fine farm
at Lauderdale, a cannery, a store and
other property at Lithia, and If he can
realize on his investments his delin-
quency will be mere bagatelle.
1t is believed by his friends that he
will be able to make the amount good
without loss to his sureties.

Charles r. Evans, acting manager of
the Roanoke baseball team, is receiy-
ing number of letters daily from ball
players all over the country who are
anxious to play in Roanoke,this season,
and If ono could judge by the records
they give they must be all stars.
While no players have as yet been
signed number have been offered and
accepted terms and the indications are
that Roanoke will be able to give a
good account of herself during the
baseball season.
Mr.. Evans informed a TIMES reporter
yesterday that four local players would
be given a trial on the league team.
They are Walter Daniel, catcher; Davy
Crockett. first base; Steve Wigmore,
second base, and Ed Maginniss, fielder.
These men are all good ones ana will no
doubt play the season out.
Charles Frech, of Colum bus, Ohio, an
in6elder, has accepted the terms offered
him by Roanoke, and will be here in q
few days. Samuel M Hooneter, Of

in the Pennsylvania State League, is

official scorer for the home team.
Contributions have beer coming in

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE House
at 1920 O'Clock, on motion of Sayres
(Dem.. Texas), went into committee OF
the whole to consider the sundry civil
appropriation BILL Lester (Dem., tla)
in the chair. BY unanimous consent it
was decided to take up the amendments
to the bill proposed by the committee
on the judiciary, consideration OF the
Missouri river commission and soldiers
until Monday.
Settle rep N. c. moved to strike
out the paragraph appropriating $50, 900
for detecting and bringing to punish
ment violaters of the Internal revenue
laws. He said that now. at a time when
policy of retrenchment ia forced on
every other line, the committee had
doubled the appropriation for lhis item
which has for years been made IL the
sundry civil bill.
His primary objection to the increase
and to the whole item, Mr.. Settle said,
was that it was wholly unnecessary.
There were 9l9 commissioned internal
revenue officers in North Carolina, be-
sides deputy marshals and those who
are known as form 10" and AVA rdn
men who are paid out OF the appropr ia
tion under discussion
The money arising out of the appro-
priation was largely used as corruption
fund, and led to the reporting of purely
technical violations OF the law, to the
great embarrass and often loss, of
innocent persons. No argument had
been adduced, he said, to show that an
increase of officers was necessary
He had read from the clerks desk an
extract from the platform adopted at q
recent Democratic State convention
asking for the abolition of the internal
revenue system as war tax and g
grievous burden upon the people. This
extract, he said, showed how the
Democracy of North Carolina regarded
the internal revenue law.
the committee rose, and tho special
order for the House, eulogies upon the
late Represent asive w. II. Enochs. of
Ohio, who died in July last, was taken
up
Eleven members pronounced brief
eulogies upon their departed fricrd and
co'worker, and then at 1855 the House
adjourned until noon Monday.
