TIIE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX. SATURDAY, , OCTOBER 30, 1909. ACCUSERS SAY HE ROBS HIS PUPILS Walton C. McKee, ex-Superintendent of Oregon City Schools, Is Under Arrest. $300 NOT ACCOUNTED FOR Given Charge of Student Funds, McKee Makes No Report of Expen diture Is in Bad Standing With Butcher and Grocer. OREGON CITT. Or.. Oct. 29. (Special.) Wa!IT C. McKee. for three years su perintendent of the Oregon City schools, was arrested this morning at Portland by Constable Miles charged with larceny by bailee of $42.50. He was brought t this city and taken hefnre Justice of the , Peace Samson and released upon a de posit of $1M cash bail, his bondsmen beir.g Dr. Oeorse Hoeye and W. J. Car son, the latter being the fat'her of Mc Kee's wife. The preliminary examination is set for next Tuesday evening at 7 o'clock, but the regular term of the Circuit Court will be convened next Monday and a grand Jury impaneled. If the case is taken in hand by the grand Jury and an indictment returned, it will not be neces sary to hold the examination in the Justice Court. Student Body I-oses Funds. While the specific charge against Mc Kee is larceny by bailee, he Is accused of stealing money belonging to the student body of the Oregon .City High School. During his three years" Incumbency as city superintendent, he was entrusted with all of the student body funds and acted as treasurer for all student enter prises. Contrary to the usual procedure In high schools, the students were never regularly organized and had n, officers. Time and again McKee was asked to make reports, but they were never forth coming. Not only did he evade financial responsibility in school matters, but he gained a bad standing with the butcher, the grocer and other tradesmen, and a a result he was not re-employed as city superintendent this year. He realized his position to the extent that he did not apply for re-election, and during the Summer he moved to Sellwood. and en ; tered the employ of the , Portland Gas Company as bookkeeper, and he was ar rested, while at his work, by Constable Miles. .Nearly $300 Not Accounted For. The magnitude of McKee's peculations was not realized until a few weeks ago. It was suspected that he had received money from student enterprises, but the matter was not brought to the -attention of the board of directors until recently, when It was discovered that anywhere from 1200 to $3no collected by the pupils r,f the high school and turned over to McKee was unaccounted for. The high school purchased a piano from a Port land firm.' and McKee has acknowledged that he received at least $60 to be di verted to this purpose, and not a cent has been paid on the Instrument. During the annual institute of county teachers last year. County School Super intendent Gary paid McKee $10 for-the ' use of the piano at the sessions that were held in the high school building and this money was not paid to the piano dealers. Last Pprlng $5. was collected among the school pupils for the fund to restore the McLoughlin home, and Mc Kee received this money and is accused of appropriating it to his own use. Supplies raid For Are Sold. Nearlv $100 is owing to the printers for the publication of The Hesperian, the high school paper, and the students free ly assert that McKee used the money col lected from advertising and subscriptions. Business men of this city put up money last' year to purchase suits for the high school baseball club and before the close of the year. McKee sold the suits to raise money to pay for their purchase. When all this information was placed In the hands of the board of directors early in October, it was decided that it would be a terrible example to set before the students to allow McKee to escape without punishment. The high school opened the year with its publication in debt to the extent that students have not been able to- issue a, single number, and they found that their piano was left In the school building only through the generositv of the dealer. State Senator Hedges. Dr. A. L. Beatle and Attorney O D .Eby were appointed a committee df the -board to make an investigattori of the circumstances and they were em powered to act. The result was that evidence was obtained- and placed in the hands of Deputy District Attorney Stipp, ' who Issued a warrant forxMcKee's ar rest this morning upon complaint of Dr. Beatie. ' SayV Little When Arrested. McKee had little to say when he was taken into custody. He attempted to as certain from Officer Miles the name of the person who made the complaint, and asked the Constable if his arrest was based on "the piano transaction. He ob tained no satisfaction from Miles. George C Brownell has been engaged as attor ney for McKee. who returned to Port land early this afternoon. McKee came here from Eugene in 190S. He was prin cipal of the Eugene High School and was formerly principal of the Lebanon public schools. He was at one time a streetcar conductor in Portland.
