counts. 1t is alleged. however. that
his accounts nave been wrong for
several years, and that he has been
able to cover up all Indications of
crookedness from the auditors by Va
rious means.
Took His Arrest Quietly.
When the vault was searched last
night and when the checks and money
therein were found. President Ham
NETT decided that it was his duty to
place Mr.. Harris under arrest. This
he did not do until this morning, but
he had the Harris home watched by
officers last night as matter of pre-
caution. Mr.. Harris stated that he
had no idea of leaving and is most
insistent that his books, when prop
erly audited, will show up everything
all right. Mr. Harris was in the mill
office when the warrant was served on
him. He took his arrest quietly, and
at the request Of President Hammett
the officer took him to the hotel for
confinement. Many Of Mr.. Harris
lfrinds called upon him when his
troubles became known. He has en-
ployed Paget & Watkins as his at
torneys. When asked for statement
this afternoon by a newspaper man,
Mr.. Harris said: II just want to say
that if a full examination is made it
will be found that I have not misap-
propriated single dollar Of the mill 5
money. Beyond this have nothing
to say at this time.
When told that the old checks and
money he'd been found in the vault,
where they had been stored away ap-
parently foryears, Mr.. Harris said: II
did not know they had found those,
but | have nothing to say. | will be
exonerated if everything is investl-
gated" Those who know the chaotic
condition of the accounts at the mill
office do not know what to think. 1t
is very strange case. Those who
have looked into the condition Of at
fairs this far say that they have never
known or heard anything like it.
There appears to be a big shortage,
and on the other hand there appear
many old checks and money to de-
crease the shortage. :
Harris High in Secret Orders.
Some Of the checks may be good.
Some Of the checks were from the
Government for cloth purchased from
the mill. and some Of these are sever
al years old. The examination Of the
books Of the mill is still in progress
and there is no telling when it will be
finished. A meeting Of the directors
will be held tomorrow to canvass the
situation as far as may be possible.
II is not known yet what steps Will
be taken towards getting bond for
Mr.. Harris. He is about thirty-fve
years of age, a native Of Anderson
county and stands high socially. He
is Worshipful Master Of the local Ma
sonic Lodge and is a past chancellor
commander of the Pythian Lodge.
Late this afternoon Magistrate Will
son named bond in the amount OF
$22, 800, but as yet the bond has not
been given.

MURRAY DENIES THAT
JENNINGS BOUGHT STOCK

That old rumor about Hughey Jon-
nings going to Philadelphia Nationals
broke loose again this week probably
caused by the announcement that Rob
ert Davis has sold his block OF stock
i'm the Phillies TO Felix Isman, the man
who tried to swing the deal to GO,
Mike Donlin to replace Billy Murray
as manager.
The story issued was to the effect
that Jennings had purchased Murray
stock in the Philadelphia Club,
amounting to about $4,000 or $4,000
and would request his release from the
Tigers this fail.
Jennings would make no statement
Of any kind, simply saying he was TO
busy with the worlds championship
series to think of anything else. Muir
ray when asked said:
II have not seen Jennings. except 90
pass greetings of the day, for a long
time, and the dear has never come into
my mind. But I'll tell you what I'll
do with you. II you can get Hughey q
buy my holdings at my price (with
emphasis on the my) l will make you
"A present of $1,000"
Close friends of Murray say that il
he is to be ousted from the manage
mcnt they will have to come to him
with "A price. not only for his stock,
but his salary for next year, his con-
tract running until the end of the
1910 season.
Jennings has no thought of trying 20
get away from Detroit, and could not
get out of the American league with
out waivers from all clubs even #
Detroit were willing to let him go. The
local management is prepared to pay
him as much as any National league
club could offer.

that dropped O'Brien to the floor i'm

The above statements made at their
respective training qaurters today in
dcato the apparent confidence with
which Jack Johnson and Stanley Ket-
chel are looking forward 10 their meet

Whatever may be the result ii is GER
tain that the defeated man will not
have the old excuse of lack of condi-
ton To fall back upon. Since the pres
ent match was made Johnson has in
dulged i'm the only training he has
done since he won the title from Tom

The fact that he saw flt to prepare

to the contrary, he is not inclined to
underestimate the prowess of the big

Since. his recent return from the

fully and from all appearances he is
i'm fine fettle. Instead of reducing as
he did for his previous fights he has
allowed himself to take on weight, so
that the difference i'm avoirdupois be-

not be so great when they climb into
