CITY OBTAINS SITE
FOR CONVENTION HALL
Director Cooke Announces
Conclusion of Negotiations
With Owners.

The location for n permanent Conven-
tion Hall in this city has been determined
I upon, after negotiations covering a period
OF more than four years. Approximately
Sl.5OO,OO0 is now available for the pur-
chase of the ground and the erection of
the hall The actual construction can be
begun as soon as Councils have given
their approval and passed the necessary
ordinances. The site chosen is n block
of ground bounded by the Schuylkill
River, Market street, cath street and
Chestnut street.
Negotiations looking to the purchase of
this ground have just been completed by
the Department of Public Works with
the owners, John Wanamaker and the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Campany.
1t was originally planned TO construct the
Convention Hall along the line of the
Parkway, but this idea was abandoned.
Common Councilman Gleason, of the 9th
Ward, in which the site is located, will
be asked to introduce an ordinance at the
next meeting of Councils providing for
the purchase of the ground. The moment
Councils authorize the purchase of the
property, it will be possible for the De-
partment of Public Works to conclude
contracts for half a dozen great exhibit
tions to be held as soon as the structure
is completed.

MYERSTOWN BANK TREASURER
HELD FOR $4,000 SHORTAGE
Says He Has Covered 1t Up for Three
Years, But Did Not Steal a Cent.

MYERsToWN. Pa. March 29.-While
frankly admitting that from day to day
there was a growing shortage in the
funds of the Myerstown Trust Company,
of which he was the treasurer. Amos
Hassler, now under arrest charged with
the defalcation, insists that he did not
take penny of the $500 shown to be
missing by the books of the institution.
Iassler declares that he discovered the
shortages several years ago, and persists
In the astounding declarations that he
from day to day covered up these dis
crepancies by falsifying the books.
Hassler steadfastly refuses to accuse
any one of taking the money, but this
phase of his confession Is not generally
credited. So far as known, Hassler had
no expensive habits, living quietly with
his wife and child, and was not known
to speculate. His arrest and confession
of the shortage caused a sensation when
II became generally known this morning
after being carefully guarded for 3s
hours,
The fact that the bank was opened for
business at o'clock this morning, and
that the institution is looked upon as one
OF the most substantial ones in the county
caused no uneaslness to be felt on tho
part of shareholders or deposltors The
official statement, given out by the Board
OF Directors. that the deficit Is $500 and
that II Is amply covered by the surety

Hassler, has treasured all customers OF

win ii, hurtz and j. II. Yeiser, president
and vice president OF the company, as
sisted by the two regular telIsrs.
Inc statement was made this morning
that there had never been any county
funds carried by the bank.
