DEATH IS BETTER THAN DISGRACE OF GIRL, SAYS FATHER Bookkeeper Involved in Accounts With Company Has Disappeared, B v Tirres Special EVANSVILLE, Ind., May 25.—"1 would rather see Lillian* in her grave. Her trouble is a surprise and It has made an old man of me in a few days.” J. T. Davis. Howell, I„. & N. Railroad conductor, whose daughter is alleged to be involved more than $4,500 as bookkeeper of the Sowders-Bolling Piano Company, thus expressed his sorrow today.

"She paid back only $132. The shortage traced back a year.” Bonnell said he did not prosecute i the girl because he thought the amount convered only a few- hundred dollars.
