EARLY ARRESTS
ARE EXPECTED
Whereabouts Of Harrison and
Miss Malone Said to Be
Known.
ARE BEING "SHADOWED'
Carpenter & Co. viii Bring Civil
Suib in Connection with Al
legged Embezzlement.

Arrests are expected within the next
twenty-four hours In the case OF Sidney
B. Harrison. local manager OF N. L.
Carpenter & Co, and Miss Alice Z.
Malone. former head clerk In the branch,
who are charged with having embez-
zled $S2,0O0 from the firm.
While detectives working on the case
refuse to commit themselves, it was
learned yesterday from a reliable source
that the whereabouts of the man and
woman practically are known. Whether
the two are in the same city those in
terested In the case would not express a
belief, but It is understood they are
being shadowed and can be apprehended
within a day or SO.
Sensational developments are expected
with the arrest of Harrison and Miss
Malone. 1t is understand that Har-
rlsons mother and his wife are willing
TO make good the amount he is alleged
TO have embezzled. 1t was stated au-
thoritatively last night they will stick
to him."
Other Developments.
While detectives were working on the
case yesterday, other developments cc-
CURED. Civil actions of various kinds
were started to recover the money said
to be missing. The firm OF Carpenter
& Co. will bring suit, it is said. against
the present owners of the stock Hsrri-
son Is alleged to have sold, and against.
It is reported, the parties assisting Har-
rison and Miss Malone to sell the stock.
1t is the belief of friends of both Har-
rison and Miss Malone that they will
return to Washington voluntarily, unless
arrested in the meantime.
1t Is said the firm OF Carpenter and
Company is willing to compromise, al
least as far as would be within the law,
but the difficulty will be in getting the
district attorneys Office to drop the mat
ter.
Harrison being very fond of horse-rac-
ing, It is said, the police of Charleston.

gan close watch on persons frequenting

ington Gas Light Company, letters were
sent out to many of the I.40o stockhold-

over their votes by proxy for the an
nual stockholders meeting February >
This Is the latest move OF the commit
tee OF stockholders TO raise the num-
Der of the board of directors from seven
to fifteen, on the grounds that the old
body is not truly representative Of the
stockholders. that it has looked more to
its own interests than to those OF the
stockholders. and that II is generally in
need of rejuvenaton.
The letter was sent out on the strength
Of recent ruling OF the Public Utilities
Commission to the effect that the stock
holders of the company had the power,
II they chose to use il. to raise the num-
Der Of the board of directors, and the
letter sets forth the endeavors of the
committee TO gain this point.
The committee was formed. according
to the letter. December l.. by the ac-
ton Of a number OF stockholders. and
the body is made up of Edmund n Fox
chairman; Joseph StrasburEer. a. Il.
Coppes, Robert Craig. and Charles \.
Shields. 1t is stated that December p
the committee met the board. and that
Fl. S. Recside. vice president of the COM
pany, read an opinion by Attorney Nj
nor. TO the effect that the stockholders,
even with the consent of the Public
Utilities Commission. do not possess the
rCwer to increase the board without the
express act of Congress.
1t is set forth that December %. 4
letter was received from the Public UtiIi-
ties Commission, confirming the conten-
ton of the committee as to the power Of
the stockholders.
One OF the objects of calling the stock.
