DECEIVED SHARP

Especial to the Evening start

PITTSBURG,, May 9.-Covered by
heavy tapestries and so cunningly
dovetailed into the wall as to defy de-
lection, a secret panel door has been
discovered in the office of William
Montgomery, d~efaulting cashier of the
Allegheny National Bank.
BY means of this door he withdrew
were close or his trail, procured the
amount of his shortage from a con-
federate, returned with it and un-
noticed placed it in the vaults of the
institution, thus covering his tracks and
presenting a clean bill to the expert
accountants. When their work of au-
diting the books was complete the loan
was returned to his confederate.
It is now believed that Montgomery
had been short in his accounts for
years, increasing the amount of his de-
f~aacation from a few hundred dollars
to the $469, 900 shortage found by the
examiners Thursday, in the belief that
he would recoup some day and return
the funds.
William L.. Folds, the national bank
examiner who discovered the shortage,
is of the opinion that Montgomery's
confederate vas Henry Reiber, the de-
faulting teller of the Farmers Deposit
National Bank. Montgomery, however,
declares that no one else is implicated.
Look for More Sensations.
A force of detectives is unearthing
fresh evidence daily to establish the
Identity of M~ontgomery's supposed ac-
completes, m sensational develop
ments are promised at the hearing
May Is.
More than $5OO,O 900 has been received
by the bank during the past W days.
To this amount is added a similar sum
on hand In the vaults, the entire 81, 000,-
goo being piled on tables, closely
guarded, to allay unrest and prevent a
run on the institution. So far deposit
tors have remained quiet, and belief
that the bank is entirely sound is gen.
eral.
M~ontgomery's friends, leaders in the
Republican ring which rulesN Pittsburg.
have offered to make good the shortage.

Small Houses for Two and Three
Families Are Paying
Investments.
BY JOSEPH A. GRUBER.

The large number of building per-
mits issued this week proves that con-
fdenee has been restored. and as soon
as the long-delayed spring arrives
building operations will become brisker.
II is only too rue that the demand for
rooms. flats and houses far exceeds the
supply, especially In this section of
New Jersey. Two and t~hree-family
houses are not only a paying invest
ment, but are eagerly sought for and
hard TO find.
Those having money laid aside will
do well to consider the following, and
act accordingly: The cost for an ordi-
nary two-family house Is about $4,000.
They rent at $50 to $35 per floor. or,
say $50 per month. More Is demanded
If the house is convenient to railroad
or trolley. Seven thousand dollars at
s per cent. IN n first mortgage amounts
to $3.50 per year; $1,000 invested in a
two-family house renting at $50 per
month amounts to $40 per year. De-

TAX DEMAND CAUSES
STIR DOWN AT SHORE.
Beach-Land Property Assess
ment Decision Hits Owners
Outside Boardwalk.

ATLANTIC CITY, May 9.-Demand
made by members of the County Board
of Tax Equalization hat taxes be as
sessed against all lands outside of the
boardwalk has created CONSERVATION
among owners of beach land, who have
escaped taxation because of their hold
ings being used for city park purposes.
The new order was tempered to some
extent by additions that call for MAX
ing over the assessment of h beach
into separate districts. Ground now
under the control of the city under
deeds make by the owners is to be
given the lowest rate, while strand
used as sites for paying piers is to be
given a higher rate. The highest tax is
to be placed on unrestricted property,
on which owners are now building
stores outside the boardwalk, and there
is likelihood that in following the or
ders of the board. assessors may tax
the beach stores out of existence.
The board also ordered the taxation
of all property In the city and county
at its full value, and added a threat
that refusal to comply on the part of
taxing officials may result in action
for contempt.
