CLERK SURRENDERS
IN FUND SHORTAGE
Missing Since Tuesday, Is
Said to Admit Taking
$1,000 Here.

Clearing up the mystery surround
ing his disappearance since Tuesday
morning, John NJ. Maggie. 26-year-
old chief clerk of the Norfolk and
Washington Steamboat Company, to-
day surrendered to Detectives Kelly
and Scrivener to answer charges of
embezzlement and larceny from the
company.
He is alleged to admit a shortage
in his accounts of s1,267.40. Horse
race playing, it is said by the police,
is given as the cause OF the defalca-
tions
Maggie left his place of business
about 10 o'clock Tuesday morning
and drove his automobile to First and
Quincy streets, where he abandone ed
it. Maggie then went to Philadelphia
he said, in an effort to obtain loan
from friends to cover the shortage,
but failed.
He decided TO return and surrender,
turning over 1906 to the, detectives.
Maggie explained the progress of
the alleged peculations, police say, by
stating that he took a few dollars
each day at first to bet on the races,
expecting to make the money good.
Then he had to take larger and
largers sums to cover up, and finally
his accounts reached the magnitude
in shortage that he decided to take
what money there was in sight and
leave the city. He took $502..40, it is
alleged, and checks for $3S8.SS.
His wife, ignorant of his where
abouts, had appealed for aid in To-
eating him, believing he had met
with foul play. Maggie lives at 1852
Pennsylvania avenue southeast.

NAVY W|LLPRESS
AIR MERGER FIGHT
Gross Misinformation Given
by Proponents of Measure,
Opponents Declare.

The Navy Department modified its
forces for a broadside attack today
on the Curry bill for unification of
the Army and Navy Air Services un-
der one department, at hearings be-
fore the House military committee.
Nearly a score of officers were as
signed as specialists to present diff
ferent phases of the opposition argu-
ment, with Rear Admiral Hilary
Jones, president of the general board
acting as chief strategist in conduct
ing the argument. Other members
of the general board, Maj. Gen
Lejeune, commandant of the Marine
Corps, and Rear Admiral Moffett, chief
of the Naval Air Service, were in
cluded IN the naval contingent
Says Coolidge Opposed
Secretary Wilbur at previous hear
ings on the bill quoted President Cool
idge as opposed, on the basis of his
present advice on the question, to a
unified air service.
Reply TO statement in support of
the bill by Brig. Gen. Mitchell, chief
of operations of the Army Air Serv
ice, was contained particularly in the
Navy's preparation of argument on
the effect of bombs on capital naval
craft.
Admiral Jones told the committee
that gross misinformation" and
widely circulated propaganda" in
regard to the air forces had been put
out by people who should know
better. A unified air service, he said,
