SHORTAGE ALLEGED TO Be GROWING
BELIEVED TOTAL WILL REACH
THREE QUARTERS OF A MIL
LION DOLLARS.

Peoria, Ill, Oct. 10-The grand jury
will make partial report shortly in
which 1t is expected about 150 addi-
tional indictments will be filed against
N. c. Dougherty. the defaulting school
superintendent. The grand jury Is not
yet through and 1t Is expected that
before the end of the week indictments
will be returned duplicating other
Peorians. 1t Is said on good authority
that Dougherty will not confess, but
that he will plead not guilty and will
put up as defense insanity caused by .
fall from horse some years ago.
1t Is estimated now that the short
ages In the school fund amounted to
an average of $4,000 a year for most
of the twenty-seven years Of Dough
erty's management of the school fund
reach $750,000.
Surprising as 1t may seem Dougherty
does not Indicate any anxiety for his
future. He appears perfectly cool and
talks freely of his affairs. Neither his
speech nor his manner manifests the
mental or physical breakdown which
has been credited to him.
Should BE Punished II Guilty.

he said. Il suppose ought to be pun
ished for It"
do you ascribe your present prose-
cution to any political infiuence?" he
was asked.
mo, don't" he answered. 1T can
be ascribed. to the wave of reform
which seems to be sweeping over the
country. 1t Is shown In the investiga-
tion of the life insurance companies,
In the Milwaukee graft investigation
and similar Investigations in other cit
les and in some instances these investi-
cations have accomplished great deal
of good"
Reverting to his dealings with the
Peoria National bank Dougherty de-
clared that he had no personal knowl-
edge of the banks affairs.
Dougherty, it would appear. was
practically dummy president. As
the head OF the banking institution he
received q nominal salary, less than
$1,000 year. He merely attended the
directors meetings and concurred In
anything his fellow officers placed be-
fore him for approval.
Il am teacher and not a banker"
was the way he expressed his position,
"and left the management Of the
bank In the hands Of experienced
men,"
