POLICE SAY SPIER
WAS EMBEHLER
Shortage of 100000 Al
legged in His Accounts.
ROGERS ADMITS SUSPICIOUS
Books Being Examined Show Signs of
egularities-Suicide Theory
Sustained.

NEW YORK. May 10-Amazing reve-
lations made public today indicate that
Charles L. Spier, Jr.. confidential repre-
sentative of Henry II. Rogers. the
STANDARD OIL millionaire. who was shot
through the heart at his home. Tomp-
kins avenue, New Brighton, S. l., may
have been an embeZzler to the extent
Of 100000 or more. and that Mr.. Rogers
was the loser. Expert accountants en-
gagged by Mr.. Rogers have, 1t is said,
discovered shortages In his accounts.
and that securities representing many
thousands OF dollars had been trans
ferred to Mrs. SDier's name.
These disclosures and a reported con-
versation over a telephone which the
police have Just learned of. they declare.
confirms their theory of suicide.
AS If TO further confirm Captain
Hogans suicide theory. the autopsy yes
terday revealed the fact that the bullet
that killed Spier was Of the same calibre
as the exploded shell in his revolver.
The dead man enjoyed the full conf
dence of III. II. Rogers. and it IS de-
ciared that examination OF the books
and papers under his control show grave
Irregularities.
Unknown to Dead Mans Wife.
Ihere IS nothing TO show that Mrs.
Spier had any knowledge OF her hus-
bands acts. 1t is not believed she knew
OF his enormous losses in stock market
speculation. and Il IS not thought she
indorsed the securities knowingly. The
discovery was a bitter blow to II. II.
Rogers. who placed every confidence in
Spier. It was said today that he will
assume the losses.
Mr.. Rogers at first refused to entertain
the idea suggested as a reason for
Spier's death. He said that last Satur-
day Spier came into his office in his
usual good humOr, discussed several
matters with him and delivered several
securities. There was nothing in his
manner which suggested that he was
laboring under a heavy strain. 1t was
at 8 o'clock on Monday morning that
the Rogers household was notified OF
The death of SIier.
Admitted by Mr.. Rogers.
1T is too early 20 talk Of the condi-
ton in which Spier left his affairs, -
said Mr.. Rogers. when questioned to-
day. 1T is true expert accountants are
going over his books and papers. and
until they have completed their work
IL is impossible 10 exactly determine
what result they Will reach. They have
thus far examined the stock books. and
while it is true suspicious conditions
have been found they Will have tC

can say anything
Mr. Rogers expressed deep sympathy
with the widow and implied that there

WIDOW ASKS SIMPLE SERVICE
Mrs. HennIngs Wants No Dissemination
at the Funeral of Her
Husband.

At the request of Mrs. Hennings the
funeral of her husband, former city treas
urer, made simple as possible FRI
day afternoon. Rev. ]. z. Hummon, pastor
OF the Kountze Memorial Evangelical Luth-
eran church, spoke a few words BETTING
the occasion, after which the funeral cor
tege moved to Forest Lawn cemetery.
where the body was consigned to the grave.
There was no singing at the service. Mem
bers of the local aerie of Eagles and Wood
men OF the World attended the services
the Eagles assembling at their hall at 1880
at the request OF Worthy President Henry
Dunn
Many visitors called at the Hennings
home Friday morning to look for the last
time on the face OF their friend who took
too much TO heart the serious part OF life
Across the bier was beautiful pillow Of
sweet peas sent by Mrs. Frank f. MoOres
while overhead was an eagle worked with
flowers sent by the local aerie of Eagles
to which Mr. Hennlngs belonged Many
other floral tributes graced the death cham
Der and lent a verdant touch to the funeral
surroundings.
In the parlor, where the services were
conducted. were Mayor Dshlman. w. l.
Kierstead. Edward Rosewater, II. c.
Counsman, Mr. Hennings former chief dep
uty and business partner; and for the
Eagles Dan Canon and Joseph SOnnenberg.
In the hall stood many other citizens. The
widow and daughter were unable to sit
where the services were held, but remained
upstairs.
Rev. Mr.. Hummon spoke OF the city
treasurer as one TO whom a public ONCE
was a public trust, commencing him highly
as a citizen and public official.
"He had far more friends than he knew"
sah the minister with deep feeling.

SHERIFFS LOSE FINE FEES
Sore at Juvenile Law, MOEy Says, BE-
cause Their Incomes Are
Cut Down.

Probation Officer "Mogy" Bernstein is of
the opinion the western sheriffs who
adopted resolutions hostile to the juvenile
law are sore" because the new law cuts
of some of their fees To this he ascribes
the fact that they hold the law to be a
failure.
Under the old law" he said, the sheriffs
got to take boys to the reform school and
were given a fee and mileage for doing t.
Under the juvenile law in most Of the
states this work is done by the juvenile
officers, who are paid a salary and receive
no fee. In most Of the states boys are
sent to the reform school alone. Naturally
this deprives the sheriffs Of some remunera-
tive business.
1T has been figured that 80 per cent Of
the boys WHO come before the juvenile
court are saved and turned from lives Of
crime. Under the old law there was moth
ing to do but send them up or turn them
loose. Now we give all OF the boys a
chance 10 do better before sending them to
the reform school,"

Friday. the 18th day Of the month and

to wed were issued from the county judges
Office yesterday. The day and date were
discouraging. but when License Clerk
Harry Morrill, opened up the license book
and found the number Of the first unissued
license ended in 10 he declared there would
be nothing doing and quit.

a permit. but when Chief Clerk Sundhlad
called his attention to the hoodoo cohdi-
lions surrounding the day and the license
he threw up his hands ana declared he
would postpone the ceremony,

home to her, especially on this day.
He said he would come I'm again on Sat

Yesterday was the first day for weeks
