lying on the dresser, but the detectives kept him away from the weapon.
 Several weeks ago Castleman was dis charged from the Sloss company, and the reason given by the officers was that he was living too high a life and was as- sociating with men and women of bad character. At that time he was suspect ed of having taken a number of time cheeks from the office and sold them, but there was no definite evidence on which to convict him.
 An examination was started about the same time and as 1t progressed the em- bezzlement grew larger. until finally it was placed in the hands of the police about three weeks ago. Detectives searched Castleman's room and there found the checks, the face value of which was $61. castleman was thought to have gone to New Orleans and telegrams were sent there as well as to a number of other cities in the south.
 Castleman went to Tuscaloosa for sey- eral days, and the detectives made an effort to catch him, but he left there to go hunting He returned to Birmine- ham yesterday and the police got on his trail in few minutes They traced him by means of the woman in whose room he was found. He is said to have been spending a good deal of money on her lately.
 The detectives state that Castleman has been living as high as any young man in Birmingham for some time, spend- ing from $500 to $500 a month
 Young Castleman, as assistant cashier of the company. handled thousands of dollars worth of time checks which are issued to the employees to be exchanged at the commissaries for whatever they may wish to buy. According to the sys- tenn he is supposed to burn these checks after he has recorded them but there is no way to check him up and his honesty is depended on to burn them.
 It seems that he has taken hundreds of dollars worth of these checks and kept them, having a confederate to sell them. The checks had to pass through the hands of the auditor before they reached Cas- tleman.
 Castleman's parents live at West End, and are said to be quite wealthy. They were not informed of the arrest last night.

YOUNG MAN IS HELD
 FOR EMBEZZLEMENT
Woods Casteman of Prominent Family Has Confessed to Having Sold Commssary Checks of the SIoss-ShefiaId
 Co., Amounting to Over S5000-Much Recovered.

Woods Castleman, Jr., aged P years, for long time assistant cashier of the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron company, was arrested last night by Detectives Bodeker and Hamilton on charge of em- bezzlement from that company.
 The exact amount embedded is not yet known. but 1t is that to be something over 5000.
 Castleman confessed to the detectives last night when he was arrested that he was guilty, but he did not know the amount he had stolen. He stated, how ever. that it was probably $7500. When arrested s2136 was found on his person several days ago there were found com missary checks to the amount of s6n The detectives have had these checks in their possession for the past two weeks, and have been looking for Castleman since that time.
 Vice President J. ". Mcqueen of the Sloss company was sent for as soon as the arrest was made and Castleman con- fessed the entire matter to him. He told the officers that he would be perfectly willing to make this confession and on his request MT. Mcqueen was sent for.
 The detectives caught Castleman with Ruby Many, a woman of questionable character. in house in Alley A between Twenty-second and Twenty-third streets, and he first attempted to escape. The room which he occupied with the woman was located, and Detective Hamilton went to the rear door while Detective Bodeker went to the other door. The latter knocked and Castleman jumped out of bed, and tried to escape through the rear door.
 He was met at the back door by Detec- tive Hamilton on whom he attempted to shut. the door. The detective pointed pistol at Castleman and ordered him to surrender and to make no more attempts to escape. The prisoner made an attempt to leach Al Colts revolver which was

Salonica, European Turkey, October 15.- The military operations in Macedonia is slackening, although there are occasional reports of fighting at various points. h. structions have been received to cease making Salonica the base of operations against the insurgents, and the orders to send more Anatolian troops to salonica have been countermanded.
 A large insurgent band was dispersed October IS near Marhovu after eight hours slSrmishlng. The Turks lost sixty killed and wounded, while tho losses of the insurgents reached 200.
