DIR. SHEPPARD IN TROUBLE.
Noted Preacher Reported Short in
Accounts Through Speculation.

That DR.. Robert O. Sheppard. for years
treasurer Of the Northwestern University,
and holding a similar post in the Garrett
Biblical Institute at Chicago, is short in
his accounts with the latter institution
nearly 5000, 900 was stated by his friends
yesterday. Frank P. Cranden. secretary
of the board of trustees of the Garrett
Institute. admits a shortage exists in the
accounts Of the institution under DR.. Shep-
pard's administration as treasurer.
Authorities of the university and insti-
tute are said to have arranged with DR..
Sheppard to take over his property and in
terests in order to fulfill a moral obligation
to the holders of notes. Real estate ven
lures Of DR.. Sheppard are said to have
been responsible for difficulties. 1t is al
legged that money was obtained from per-
sons who were under the impression that
they were lending 1t to the university or
to the institute. Notes given in return for
these loans are said to have been signed
by DR.. Sheppard.
That the noted preacher and educator
should be involved in a financial scandal Of
such magnitude has shocked the entire
community. Even his closest friends today
say that DR.. Sheppard is in the meshes Of
financial ENHANCEMENT, which may be
more far-reaching than appears on the face
of matters at this time. DR.. Sheppard's
palatial house in Evanston has been a CEN

NERVOUS CONSUL QUITS.
IT'S Bowens Of Guadeloupe, Who Mag
nified Riots.

Mr. G. Jarvis Bowens has resigned from
the United States consular service. and no
successor has been appointed as yet for
the post Mr.. Bowens held at Guadeloupe.
French West Indies. Mr.. Bowens left the
service shortly after the rioting in Guade-
loupe, which caused him to send alarming
reports to the State Department about the
dangers which threatened American inter-
ests in Guadeloupe. Mr.. Bowens reported
that the situation was serious and beyond
local control. In consequence Of that re-
port United States warships were sent to
the island to the alleged displeasure Of
France, which had warships near Guade-
loupe, and was prepared to check any dis
order. An investigation Of conditions in
Guadeloupe- is said to have shown that the
consul was not justified in making such
alarming reports, and that is said to have
been the cause of his withdrawal from the
service. Mr.. BoWens was appointed from
Virginia, and went to the post at Guade-
loupe June "a, 1905.
