Chicago, speeial-The appoint

Company followed close upon the
heels of the discovery By the eredi-
tors of the concern that Its missing
president, Jesse Judson Hall had ap-
propriated TO has own Use at least
$3l5,000 of the corporation funds
As far as can be discovered every
dollar of this money went into min
ing stock which was backed up with
no tangible property, theatrical ven
lures which made no money and other
securities which the creditors are
willing 10 sell in lump for some
thing less than $4,000.
Indications were that Hall would
not voluntarily return from Canada
and that criminal prosecution would
be instituted to bring him back to
this country by the First National
bank, which holds notes of the com
pany aggregat:ng 100000.
1t appears that Mr.. Hall has been
borrowing the company's money
for at least two years There has
been little effort on his part to con-
ceal this fact. The money taken ont
Of the business was secured only by
promissory notes signed by Hall As
he has no other property than the
$4,000 worth of Belding-Hall stock
which is worthless until all out stand
ing bills are paid, it is expected that
the $4,000 which he "borrowed 4"
and the $4,000 which he lent to res
ponsible persons $355,000 in all will
be total loss.
A pathetic feature Of the case is
the condition of the missing man ;
two children who are living at the
Hall home in Winnetka in charge
of housekeeper. Since Mr.. Hall left
Chicago they have heard no word
from him, neither have they received
any money with which to meet the
