THE MACON DAILY TELEORAPH: TUESDAY MOBNTNG,''DEmrBEI?: 8, 19ff8
A
A. 0. L. AGENT IS
UNDERARREST
John J. Harris Is Held on
Charge of Embezzling
'uLargo Sum.
VALDOSTA. GO., D«. 7.—John J*
Harris, for sis years agent of the At
lantic Coast Line at this city, and
for several months tho general agent
In charge of the Joint agency of the
Coast Lino and Georgia mid Florida
road, was arrested lato this afternoon
on a warrant Issued by Justice of the
l*oaco T. M. Cook, at the Instance of
Inspector Bradbury Williams, of the
American Security Company. Charged
with embezzlement of $3,000 of the
company** funds. Mr. Harris gave
bond Immediately and It is said the
j*relhnlnary' hearing will come tomor
row.
Traveling Auditors Farmer and
Godloe have been checking up the
books here for several days, and It
was upon, their reports that the war
rant against Agent Harris was Issued.
Mr. Harris denies that his accounts
«re short la any. sum. The auditors
claim that the shortage has occurred
Within tho past five months. Mr. Har
ris* friend* say that he wanted an
expert accountant to go over the books
with the auditors, but this waa re
fused.
They claim that the tupparent short
age Is due to discrepancies, demurrage
claims and other Items being charged
to the agent's account. Mr. Harris,
when seen, tonight, stated that ho had
nothin" to say, but ho felt confident
that his ajdrts were clear. He says
that he has done no forging and that
ho will bo ablo to show at the proper
time. He Is a man of great popularity,
and his many friends were surprised
at the charge that was made against
him. They feel confident- that he will
bo ablo to show up all right.
The affairs of the office were said
to be all right at tho last chocking,
and since then It Is said that the
road had to pay him back something
like $4,000, which had been charged
to him on alleged errors a year ago.
FIREMEN CALLED TO
ELM ST. RESIDENCE
HOME OCCUPIED BY MRS. £HAS.
GREEN WAS PARTIALLY
BURNED—MUCH FUR-
N ITU RE LOST.
The monotony of tho firemen was
broken yesterday at 2:30 by an alarm
being turned In from the it-sldonce of
Mrs. Charles Green, 416 Elm street.
A defective flue caused tho blaze.
The upper portion of the house was
burned, and most of the damage done
before the alarm was sent to the da-
■ part merit.
Mr. W. P. Tracey occupied the up
per portion of the house, and he suf
fered a loss of furniture and house
hold belongings that could not be got
ten* out In time.
Mr*. Green, by reason of being on
the lower floor, was more fortunate,
nearly everything being taken out of
the house. The house was Insured.

PINE BLUFF. Ark.. Dee. 7.-The gov

night the waters of tho Arkansas river
are fast eating their way to the mouth
oUhe Harding bayou, which crosses the
C1 a* little further and the river will

whoro, because of tho nature of tho soil,
which is sandy, the natural resistance
will be but slight. Houses are being
rolled to places of safety and others
are being demolished and the lumber
and furnishings carted away.
Today five dwelling houses and the
warehouse of the Arkansas Packet Com-
phny weres wept away nnd the gerater

NIGHT SCHOOL WILL
NOT CHARGE TUITION
LOCAL INSTITUTION IS TO BE AB
SOLUTELY FREE—SUPT. CHAP
MAN PREPARING A REPORT
ON THE SUBJECT.
The Impression seems to prevail that
tho night school now being organized
!s a pay school. This is a mistake.
It Is as one of the public schools and
1s absolutely free.
Superintendent Chapman will make
a report to the board of education at
the next meeting as to the result of
his Inquiry Into the night school feat
ure of other cities. In gathering this
information, which will bo exhaustive,
be has found that in some cities a
charge Is made, but In Macon It was
never intended that there should bo
any charge to tho pupils.
The report to be submitted will be
an Interesting one, from many (points
of view. It will give all possible in
formation bearing on the subject.
