Pittsburg, Pa., May 8. William Montgomery, known to almost every one in Pittsburg, as "Hilly", cashier of the Allegheny National bank, the most important financial institution from a political standpoint of any in the city, was arrested in the bank late Thursday afternoon, charged with embezzling an immense sum of money from the bank. So far as is known his shortage will reach $4tttt,ono at least. It Is believed that it will be more than that, probably close to $1,-

000,000. Within two hours after the arrest Montgomery was released on $50,000 bail, which is considered a wonderful

ly small sum in view of the enormous amount of his defalcation. George K. Tener, the millionaire real estate and

coal man, and brother of John K. Ten

er, republican candidate for congress

from the Twenty-fourth district be

came his bondsman.

The first intimation that Montgom

ery was short in his accounts came

from Henry Reiber, the former paying

teller of the Farmers' Deposit National bank, who. with former Auditor

James Young, robbed that institution

of over $1,105,000.

Reiber and Young are in jail, and

last week Reiber is alleged to have stated that part of the immense sum

of money he took from the Farmers'

National had gone as loans to Montgomery to help him make up his shortage.

Books Examined. A hurried examination of Montgom

ery s nooks was made, ana smticient evidence was found against him to cause William Stewart, the president, to send to Philadelphia for National

Hank Examiner William L. Folds, who

soon discovered that Montgomery's

defalcations reached $46!,000 at least. A warrant was at once sworn out for Montgomery's arrest. Friends to His Rescue, Montgomery has been known as a man about town all of his life, but in spite of this fact was considered a conservative business man. He was always thought to be wealthy, his fortune being estimated frequently at $500,000. When arrested the only statement that he would make was that he had not a penny of the stolen money left, nor has he any of his own. He declared that he has loaned large sums to speculators and when he called on them to return the loans they were unable to do so. It is intimated that other arrests will follow because of the attempt to bribe the bank examiner.

AS HE HAS MANY UNIQUE VIEWS ON THE QUESTION, HIS LECTURE WILL NO DOUBT BE ONE OF MUCH INTEREST.

A great deal of interest is being taken in the lecture on public control of

public utilities by Glenn Marston. the New York statistician, before the Commercial club next Monday. The question of public control is one of the most important now before the people of this country, and yet information on the results that have come from the various forms of control that have been tried is very hard to get. Mr. Marston has spent a number of years in collecting information and statistics and is well qualified to take up a discussion of the best methods of control. He has a collection of municipal reiKtrts larger than any other in t he country. While Mr Marston's business might lead one to expect a lecture highly technical in character, it is said that he knows the difference between vital facts and tiresome detail. Most of his work has appeared in th technical press, and has created much favorable comment among men familiar with the great economic problems that involve the public utilities of the country. It is expected that there will be a very lively discussion following Mr. Marston's address as the subject is one on which a large variety of views are held. Mr. Marston takes up public control from an exceedingly practical standpoint, and carefully analyzes the results which have followed the various forms of control. He does not consider that this is merely a question affecting the public utilities, but. that its influence is felt in every line of business for good or evil as the case may be.
