EMBEZZLING METHODS
BARED BY THE RECORD
Court Declares Mere Calling of
Wrongful Act a Loan Does
Not Cancel Responsibility.
J. J. Mangham, of Griffin, former
treasurer of the Boyd-Mangham Manu
facturing Company, sentenced t n the
Spalding county superior court to four
years in the penitentiary for embez
zlement in connection with the sensa
tional failure of the Boyd-Mangham
Company, was denied a new trial by
the state court of appeals today. J.
W. Mangham, his brother, sentenced
to one year for working with Mangham
to declare illegal dividends, also was
denied a new trial.
This means that the Mangham cases,
which attracted wide attention in Geor
gia through the failure of one of the
largest cotton mills in that section, are
ended as far as the state courts are
concerned. Only the United States su
preme court can set aside the appellate
court judgment. Mangham’s motion
for a new trial was filed on 35 special
grounds.
Court Hits Effort to
Avoid Responsibility.
Mangham was convicted of embez
zling $23,412.50 from the funds of the
Boyd company while manager of the
mill. This amount he is said to have
used in speculation. Through his ac
tivities notes given to several Atlanta
banks were discounted and thousands
of dollars were never accounted for.
Mangham and his brother were given
twelve months for declaring illegal div
idends to cover the embezzlements.
In denying the motion the court as
serted that agent or an official of a cor
poration could not use money intrusted
to him for personal purposes and avoid
criminal responsibility by calling the
act'on a loan. In such a. transaction
the court maintained the fraudulent in
tent could be traced. In discussing the
misdemeanor cases in which the Mang
hams received twelve months each, the
court said the law allowed the declara
tion of dividends only when sums were
paid stockholders from actual net
profits.
Insolvent While
Thought Flourishing.
According to the record of the case.'
Mangham’s method in wrecking the.
company .was implicity itself. The
Boyd-Mangham Company was capital
ized at $150,000. The entire manage
ment of the concern was turned over to
Mangham. During the years of 1906-
1910, inclusive, the mill was unusually
prosperous, and sums amounting to
$200,000 were paid to stockholders in
dividends. In 1911 the crash came, and
an audit of the accounts of the com
pany showed that Mangham had cov
ered up Irregular transactions with
false entries. The books actually show
ed that the company owed Mangham
SIO,OOO. but the audit developed the
fact that Mangham really owed the
company $8,582.99, while the concern
was insolvent when it had been consid
ered in a flourising condition.
Mangham had taken $23,412.50 out
right. covering the steal with a false
entry, and declaring dividends to si
lent stockholders. In 1910 he discount
ed the company's note with the Fulton
National bank, of Atlanta, for $11,500,
with the Central Bank and Trust Com
jany, of Atlanta, for SI,OOO, and in 1906
with other banks for amounts ranging
from $5,000 to $15,000. An examination
into the company's affairs showed that
some of these notes were paid from the
company's funds prior to the failure
and brought the concern into financial
straits.
SAFE BLOWERS’EXPLOSION
CAUSES $25,000 FIRE LOSS

destroyed six buildings, with $25,000
Joss. It is attributed to safe blowers.
Constantinople Hit by
Quake; Turks Think It
Italian Fleet and Flee
Rocking of Earth Mistaken for
Bombardment or Dynamiting
of Forts—People in Panic.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug 9.—Two
violent earthquake shocks. which
caused widespread alarm and heavy
damage, were felt here early today.
The tremors began at 3:24 o'clock and
lasted several seconds.
So sharp were the undulations that
some of the residents of the ciXy were
thrown from their beds. Terrified citi
zens fled to the streets in their night
clothing.
Some one started a report that an
Italian fleet.had gained entrance to the
Bosphorus and had either commenced a
terrific bombardment or was using dy
namite to destroy the forts. The re
ports added to the terror and many fled
from the city, without taking time to
dress.
Walls and chimneys were shaken
down by the shock and numerous per
sons were injured by flying wreckage.
Shock Recorded at Washington,
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.—According
to the seismograph at the Georgetown
university, an earthquake began at 8:50
last evening and continued until 9:58.
There were three heavy shocks, the
first at 9:13. the second at 9:16 the
third at 9:18. The record could not be
read accurately, but it is believed the
'quake lies without, the 3,000-mfle zone.
CITY JUNKETING BAN
KEEPS ZOO BOARD
FROM A BUYING TRIP
Because the city attorney has ruled
that no member of council or a city
board legally can go on a junket at the
city's expense, the park commission has
neglected to spend the $1,500 appro
priated last January for anihjals for the
Grant park zoo. The commission could
send the general manager to get the
animals, as they have done for several
years, but it is said some of the com
missioners wanted to go to New York
and do the buying themselves. When
they found they could not go without
paying tneir own expenses, they de
cided that nobody should go. it is said.
W. C. Puckett, chairman of the zoo
committee of the commission, intro
duced a resolution last fall to abolish
the zoo, saying that the council would
provide no money’ for new’ animals and
that the old ones were dying out. The
council provided $1,500 for animals
seven months ago. but Commissioner
Puckett has made no move to purchase
them.
9TH ANNIVERSARY OF
CORONATION OF POPE
IS OBSERVED IN POMP
ROME, Aug. 9.—Magnificent pomp
marked the celebration in the Sistine
chapel today’ of the ninth anniversary’
of the coronation of Pope. Piux X.
Though the pope's physicians had
feared the effect of the ceremonies on
the pontiff, he went through with them
without showing any indication of
breaking down.
In the presence of the members of the
Sacred college and a host of other dig
nitaries the pope walked the full length
of the chapel wearing the massive triple
crown and heavy’ mantle. After his ar
rival mass was celebrated by Cardinal
Merry’ del Vai, the papal secretary of
state.
After the ceremonies a gift by the
pope to the poor of 2,000 lire was an
nounced.
SHIP LINES OWNED BY
RAILROADS ATTACKED
IN CANAL BILL FIGHT
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.—Senator
Poindexter, of Washington, led an at
tack on the Panama canal bill which
relates to railroad owned steamship
lines in the senate today. He believes
the clause too strongly’ favors this class
of steamships. The section as it now
reads prohibits the passage of any ship
in which a railroad owns an interest,
if the ship be engaged in the coastwise
trade, and that no railroad owned ship
shall use tile canal unless 50 per cent
of its cargo is to be shipped to or from
Oriental or European ports.
Senator Poindexter declared instead
of solving the problem the same eco
nomic question was presented that is
found growing out of the ownership of
mines and oilier industries by railroads.
He declared the people of the Pacific
coast have had object lessons from
which to draw their conclusions. The
only remedy is to permit the entrance
of foreign vessels into the American
coastwise trade and so break up the
present monopoly.

TAFT VETOES
WOOLBILL
REDUCING
TARIFF
Schedule Providing 29 Per Cent
Reduction Called Disastrous
to Industry.
WILL SIGN MEASURE
FOR 35 PER CENT CUT
Says Present Bill, if Made Law,
Would Throw Thousands
Out of Work.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.—President
Taft, in a veto message to congress
today’ upon the twenty-nine per cent
wool bill, indicated that no reduction
lower than 35 per cent will meet his ap
proval.
The president urges strongly on con
gress the necessity’ of passing a bill
which will offset the difference between
the cost of the production of raw wool
here and abroad. He says:
“I strongly desire to reduce duties,
provided that the protection system be
maintained and the industries now es
tablished he not destroyed.
"1 appeal to congress to reconsider
this measure, which I now return with
out my approval, and adopt a substi
tute therefor, making substantial re
ductions without destroying any estab
lished Industry, which I will promptly
approve.
"In view of the platform on which I
was elected and in view of my promise
to maintain a protective policy, no
course is open to me but to withhold
my approval from this bill. I am very
much disappointed that such a bill
should a second time be presented to
me."
He recommends that the revision be
made from the data furnished by the
tariff board, and urges that congress do
not adjourn until such action is taken.
The message continues:
“Urged Reduction of
Excess Schedules.’’
"On December 20, 1911. I sent a mes
sage to the congress, recommending a
pronwit revision of the tariff on wool
ami woolens. I urged a reduction of
duties which should remove all the
excesses and inequalities of the sched
ule. but should leave a degree of pro
tection adequate to maintain the con
tinued employment of machinery and
labor already established In that groat
Industry. With that message 1 trans
mitted a leport of the tariff board which
furnished for the first time the infor
mation needed to frame a revision bill
of this character, and recommended that
legislation should at once be under
taken in the light of this informa
tion.
"Instead of such a measure of thor
ough and genuine revision, based on
full information of the facts, ami with
rates properly’ adjusted to all the dif
ferent stages of the industry, there is
now presented for my approval a bill
identical with the one which I vetoed in
August. 1911. before the report of the
tariff board was made. The tariff
board's report fully and completely’ jus
tifies my veto of that date. The amount
of ad valorem duty necessary to off
set the difference in the cost of pro
duction of raw wool iiere and abroad
varies with every grade of wool. Con
sequently an ad valorem rate of duty
adjusted to meet the difference in the
cost of production of high priced wools
is not protective to low priced wools.
In any case, the report of the tariff
bo ird shows that the ad valorem duty
of 29 per cent on raw wool, imposed In
the bill now submitted to me. is inade
quate to meet this difference in evst in
the ease of four-fifths of our total wool
clip. The disastrous effect upon the
business of our farmers engaged in wool
raising can not be more clearly stated.
To maintain the status quo in the wool
growing industry, the minimum ad
valorem rate necessary even for high
grade wool in years of high prices
would be 35 per cent.

PONCE DELEON BALL PARK. Aug.
9.—The Crackers and the (lulls got un
der way here in the semi-final game of
the series at 4 o’clock this afternoon.
Tomorrow the last game of the season
between the two teams on Ponce I >e-
Ijeon diamond will be played, and as the
Gulls are taking advantage of everything
now to win games with the idea that
the Barons might stump their collective
toe, they went into the game determined
to add another victory to their string.
The Crackers, though disheartened and
practically in the slough of despond, are
still capable of putting up a hard fight,
and the game hade fair to be a tussle well
worth while.
The Gulls opened up as though they
meant to take the game in a hurry, send
ing a run across in the first inning. Starr,
the second man to face Brady, singled,
and O’Dell followed with another which
sent Starr to third. They then manip
ulated the double steal perfectly, and
Starr counted.
The Crackers went them one better in
their half of the first, scoring two runs.
Agler singled, Bailey walked, Alperman

BILL AMENDING THE
CHARTER OF ATLANTA
VIRTUALLY IS PASSED
The Atlanta charter amendment, re
cently introduced in the general as
sembly, was recommended for passage
by the senate committee on corpora
tions late today. This virtually will
mean its final passage in the upper
house.
Tlie amendment provides for the
bonding of the Lakewood property for
exposition purposes; a system of ap
peal from tax assessment, to be pre
sided over by the mayor; the regula
tion and licensing of all lodging houses,
each place to pay to the city the sum
of $500; the regulation and licensing of
all locker clubs, to pay the same
amount: the annexation of Capitol
View to the city, provided that the mat
ter be submitted to a Vote of tire peo
ple living there; the construction of an
underpass at either end of Forsyth
street, and allows the city to assess and
levy on any or all right-of-ways of rail,
roads within the limits for purposes of
improving the same.
USE OF FICTITIOUS
NAME DOESN’T SAVE
FORGER IN GEORGIA
Despite the fact that lawyers argued
that Georgia has no law against a
man's signing fictitious names to
checks, so'iong as he docs not forge the
name of a real person, Judge Ellis this
afternoon decided that A. R. Saffold
must serve the six-year term given him
by the superior court some time ago.
Saffold was charged with obtaining
money from banks by cashing checks
signed with the names of purely ficti
tious personages. He was convicted
and sentenced, but held in the county
jail awaiting action on habeas corpus
proceedings.
These came up today, and despite
the technical argument presented. Judge
Ellis held that Saffold had received file
money under fraudulent circumstances,
and the sentence must stand.
