WILLIAM MEYERS
 ACCOUNTS SHORT
Was President of Western Base ball Association and
 County Auditor

Indianapolis, Ind, September 24 A special to the Sentinel from Fort Wayne, Ind, says;
 few weeks ago the mems furnishing firm of Wm. Meyer & Bro was forced into involuntary bankruptcy Wm. Meyer, Jr., was at that time auditor of Allen County and also president of the West ern Baseball Association. Relatives have been heavy endorsers at the banks to aid him in making two campaigns for political offices. and the bankruptcy proceedings shocked his creditors and endorsers at the bank. In order to pro- tect himself 1t is believed he may have used the Baseball Associations funds and also funds belonging to the county.
 Two weeks ago his bondsmen as audi tors became worried and called Meyer to task. To his bondsmen, in the absence of County Commissioners Orff. Maudy and Schnitker, he confessed to a shortage of S24S6. Mir. Meyer was forced out of of flee and paid $75 a month to remain away until Expert Crane went over his books. Tonight Commissioner Orf stated the shortage would reach $64O0. and the bonds men will be held to account.
 Yesterday afternoon before the county shortage had been established Umpires Artie Latham, Joe Hornung and Tony Mulane reached Fort Wayne and de- manded about $500 in back salaries. It is alleged they were held off until Meyer left the city presumably for Chicago. He has not been seen since. Meyer, 1t said had in his possession yet $49OO guarantee money put up early In the season by the teams in the association. It is claimed that he now owes about $70O0 By his failure to pay $500 to the umpires and his confession that he did not have the funds, 1t is feared that he has no funds on hand to pay either the guaran- tee money or the 10 per cent of the gross receipts to meet club expenses. The um- pires have hired Attorney Elmer Leonard to prosecute Meyer.
 His bond to the league was as presi- dent. He was also treasurer. As treas urer he gave no bond and 1t Is reported that the Western Baseball Association will lose at least $40O0. Meyers debts and shortage 1t Is said may exceed $4O,00O.
