N. "0., THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER HE MADE BIG HAUL President of Chicago Company Skips to Canada LEAVES WIFE AND CHILDREN Defalcations Have Been Going on for at Least. Two Years He Has Lit tle Stock. Chicago, Special. The appoint ment of a receiver for the properties of the Belding-Hall Manufacturing Company followed j. close upon the heels of the discovery by the credi tors of the concern that its missing president, Jesse Judson Hall had ap propriated to his own use at least $315,000 of the corporation's funds. As far as can be discovered every dollar of this money went into min ing stock which was backed up with no tangible property, theatrical ven tures which made no money and other securities which the creditors are willing to sell in a lump for some thing less than $4,000. Indications were that Hall would not voluntarily return from Canada and that criminal prosecution would be instituted to bring him back to this country by the First 'National bank, which holds notes of the com pany aggregating $100,000. It appears that Mr. Hall has been "borrowing" the company's money for at least two years. There has been little effort on his part to con ceal this fact. The money taken out of the business was secured only by promissory notes signed by Hall. As he has no other property than the 80,000 worth of Belding-Hall stock which is worthless iwitil all out stand ing bills are paid, it is expected that the $315,000 which he "borrowed" and the $40,000 which he lent to res ponsible persons $355,000 in all -will be a total loss. A pathetic .feature of the case is the condtion of the missing man's two children who are living at the Hall home in Winnetka in charge of a housekeeper. Since Mr. Hall left Chicago they have heard no word from him, neither have they received any money with which to meet the household expenses. " Charotte Observer Has Bad Fire. Charlotte, N.

Oil : Com pany.

Morrison, Mr. Sims ' predecessor in office; that Mr. Morrison's action appears to have been duly authorized at the time by the Department; that in the opinion of the Department the arrangement had greatly facilitated the indictment and conviction of the Standard Oil Company, and that while certain portions of the evi dence might be fairly open to unfav orable comment, the Departmenf re garded the government as bound in good faith, and also as a matter of public policy to give the effect to the' agreement. . - "Mr. Sims was instructed to read this letter when the grand jury, re convened in September, and to. take such further action to the foregoing end as might seem to the court and to himself appropriate in the prem ieses. . :; " TEe Department learns that Mr. Sims did not comply with those in structions by reason of his having had called to his' attention very re cently certain new, and, in his iud; ment," material facts, which he thought should be submitted to the Department for its consideration be fore its conclusions should be fianlly announced.
