F. W. PETERSON BACK TO JAIL Bond of Young Man Fixed
 at 5000. A PRELIMINARY HEARING Cashier Farley TeStifieS as to Alleged Embezzlement. Exact Amount Said to Have Been Taken by Former Collection
 Clerk in Bank Given
 at $4,e44.96.

Fred w. Peterson, charged with embcz- zIing $494. .96 from the Merchants ana Planters Farney National Bank, was heid to await the action of the United States grand 1ury under 5000 bond yester- day morning by United States Commis- sioner John A. Fillmore
 At his preliminary hearing yesterday morning only two witnesses were examin- ed by the government, while the defen- dant waived the taking of his testimony
 Peterson was taken to the government building in charge of United States deputy marshal. He evinced no interest in the proceedings except by looking over some documents introduced in evidence against him.
 He wore a white flannel shirt and had a worn and troubled expression in his face.
 On entering the court room he spoke to several friends who were present, but held no conversation with them.
 Contest Over Bail.
 The only contest during the hearing was as to the amount of bail.
 Counsel for Peterson strenuously urged that a $2, 600 bond was out of reason. Their client, they declared, had not the assur- ance that he could make $50 bond. He had been deserted by his former friends but they saw no reason why the bond SnOuiu De pIdceu so Tar dDOVe any pOS- sibility of making it.
 On the other hand Julius Sternfeld, As sistant District Attorney, argued that nearly 5000 was involved in the case and that 5000 was an entirely reasonable amount. He was supported in his argu- ment by counsel for the bank.
 Commissioner Fillmore ruled that 5000 wa a reasonable amount
 Louis B. Farley. cashier of the Mer- chants and Planters-Farley National Bank was the first witness called by the bank.
 MT. Farley Testifles.
 MT. Farley testified that Peterson had been connected with the bank for six years. The records of the bank would not show the full amount embedded, but by correspondence the information could be obtained. Collections on much of the money obtained by Peterson had been made, but no entry thereof had been made on the books. He described the system of embeZzlement employed by Peterson A draft would be sent to the bank for collection. The runner would make a return thereon to Peterson In his official capacity as collection clerk. The draft would be marked paid by him and return- ed to the bank, but no entry thereof would be made on the books. Drafts from Rochester, N. Y., Tuskegee, three from Birmingham, two from Mobile, one from Philadelphia and one from Selma had been disposed of in this manner.

Meeting January 2S to Select Sue.
 cessor to Currv

New York, Jan. ie.-A special meeting of the trustees of the Peabody educational fund mas been called for Jan. 29 in Washington to consider several proposed changes in the work now being done
 One of these is to concentrate the entire work of the fund in establishing a normal college, either at Nashville, Tenn. where the preesnt Peabody is, or at some other point in the South. Strong pressure Is being exerted In favor of Georgia The reason for the pro- posai to remove the college is that it has out grown It's present quarters.
 Another proposition is being urged to divert large part of the fund to the aid of the country schools of the South. while other mem- bers of the board of trustees favor maintain ing the present college at Nashville as an in- stitution for the teaching of teachers for these schools of the South The position made va cant by the death of Agent J. L. M Curry will also be filled.
