CLEVELAND, o., May Harry c. Hays,
secretary of the Locomotive Engineers Mu-
tual Life and Accident Insurance Associa-
ton, began suit to-day for $3.50 for SLAM
der against William c. Hayes, one of the
the trustees had the books of the association
examined, and as result it was declared
that secretary Hays was s15, 600 short in his
accounts. The matter was referred TO the
State Insurance Commissioner, and rigid
examination was made by experts. The re-
suit showed a balance of over $500 in favor
of Secretary Hays, a blunder having been
made in the first examination. Secretary
Hays claims that trustee Hayes talked a
great deal about the affair before the truth
was arrived at, doing his reputation severe
injury. Hays says he will sue other trustees.
