Bessemer, July 16.- Paul B. Ruteman, city treasurer, has been discovered short in his accounts to the city about $10,000. He has been removed f rom the office by the city councü and William I. Prince, cashier of the First national bank, appointed his successor. Kuteman spent large amounts of money last spring to gain 'an election, probably then being aware of hisshortage, and knowing the situation was obliged to gef again elected. As treasurer he had the custody of the school funds, and recently the school board ordered $1,000 loaned to the city, which caused the exposure. Ruteman turned his large hardware store and stock over to the city.
