Half A Million Short

Tacoma, Wash., April 25. - The experts who are examining the books of Paul Schulze, late general land agent of the Northern Pacific railway, have found that his dpfalcation amounts to over $500,000, instead of a few thousand, as was at first supposed. The shortage, it is said, may even reach the enormous sum of $700,000. The embezzler, who was one of the best-known railroad men in the country and an influential resident of Tacoma, committed suicide a few days ago.
