A WARRANT HIS WELCOME
Carl Faber Arrested Oh the Arrival
OF the Steamship. ksarbarOssa.

When the North German Lloyd steam
er Barbarossa arrived at her pier, in
Hoboken, this morning, Carl Faber, an
employe of the company, who was
passenger, was arrested by Detective
Sergeant McNaughton Of the New York
Detective Bureau
Faber is cashier in the office of Oel-
richs & Co., the American agents for
the line. Four weeks ago he was granted
a months leave of absence and went to
Europe with his wife and two children.
During his absence, the company employ
ed experts to examine the books. They
finished their work several days ago and
discovered an alleged shortage of over
$4,000.
Manager Herman Oelrichs decided to
have Faber arrested and a cablegram
was sent to the German agents to APP
prehend him They replied by cable that
he had already sailed for home on the
Barbarossa. The specific charge against
Faber was embezzling sS5. a warrant vas, vas
then issued by Judge CoWing OF new
York and another by Recorder McDon-
ough of Hoboken, so as to prepare for
his arrest upon his arrival here.
Faber took his arrest cOolly. He was
apparently unconcerned, as though he
had expected it, The warrants were
shown him on the steamer and he was
detained in the captains cabin until the
other passengers were landed. He de-
clared that the alleged deficit was mis-
take which he could easily rect1fy, ne
said, when he went to the office. He ad-
mitted that there was a shortage but
denied that he had committed embezzle-
ment.
| AT first, Detective McNaughton was
| undecided as to whether he would arrest
Faber in Hoboken or New York. Faber
| expressed a desire to go to New York at
| once. He was taken off the steamer and
| then brought back again to the captain
| cabin, where Detective McNaughton and
| several officials of the company held a
| conference. 1t was finally decided to ar
rest him in Hoboken. He was arraigned
| before Recorder McDonough and releas-
ed in $1,000 bail, to appear for hearing
| on October %. Ex-Police Commissioner
| William Utz, who manages the baggage
| traffic on the steamship piers, furnished
| the bail.
Faber then went to New York, accom-
| panied by Detective McNaughton. His
| wife and two children and his mother
in-law, who met him at the pier, were
| conveyed to a New York hotel in a
| coach.
