President of Chicago Company Skips to Canada LEAVES WIFE AND CHILDREN DefalcatiOBs Uxft Ben Gei&z on for at Lean Two Tear He Has Lit tie Stock. Chicago, Special. The appoint ment of a rte?i.er for the pn-pertic of the Belding-Hall Manufacturing Company followed clux? ujvu the hei of the dicuvery by the credi tor of the concern that -it mining president, Jessie Judson Hail had ap propriated to kU o:i u.m. at lmt $315,000 of the corporation's fund. As far as can be discovered every dollar of this inmy went into min ing stock which wa backed up with no tangible pnHrty, theatrical ven tures which made no money and other securities which the creditors ai willing to Fell in a lump tor 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 ba.k to this country by the First National bank, which holds notes of the com pany aggregating .flOO.OoO. It apjears 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 propertv than the $80,000 worth of Belding-IIall stock which is worthless until 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- E onsible persons $355,000 in all will e a total Iops. 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 Tire. Charlotte, N. C, Special.
