EMBEZZLEMENT IS CHARGE Said to He SI 27 4.87 Short in His Accounts Ho-ause of Hih Living. )lakcs refciise Money Was Spent on Expense Account. , Andrew R. Parity, former socretary of the Orefron Urand Court of Foresters. wa rrestPd late yesterday afternoon, on charaes of misappropriating money r.eloiitinB to tlie order. While lie is charged specifically with taking- $63.40. hi shortage is said to total $1274.87. Dal slty Tias taken at once to the County Jail, tteiug unable to furnish a cash bond of J2V0. Palglty insists that the money he is acrused of having emhexaled In reality aB spent in his expense account. He ill be has taken nothing unlawfully. This is denied by F. R. Peterson, chair man of the board of trustees of the Orand Court of Oregon, who. in his offi cial capacity, filed the complaint against Ealsity. Mr. Peterson says investiga tion by the trustees has made it plain the money was feloniously taken from funds Intrusted to Dalgity's care as sec- rotary. Extravagant living is said to be the cause of Oalgitys predicament and this accusation is given color by the fact that he was sued for rent due for the occu pancy of a house at .East Thirty-fifth and East Washington streets. Dalgity's alleged shortage was- discovered January when he was formally removed by the trustees and given time In which to square the account. In the two months intervening no part of the shortage has been made up. it is alleged, and the Na tional Surety Company, which was on ralgity's bond, is represented as having Insisted on trte accused man's arrest. He will be arraigned today in the Justice Court. Dalgity was secretary of the Oregon Court for 19 months. He came here to accept that position from Astoria. He was formerly a Deputy County Clerk of Clatsop County and also bears the title of Past Grand Chief Ranger in the Foresters.- He has a wife and three chil dren. He was arrested white attending a vau deville performance at Pantages TUeater. and a Deputy Constable Insisted that he leave the house before the clospp of the performance. Dalglty did not seem greatly surprised at his arrest. He pro fessed to believe the difficulty -would come to nothing when presented in court.

The officers of the Oregon Audubon So ciety, who brought about the arrests, were agreeably surprised to learn that no fight would be made in the courts on the law. Lawyers representing the vari ous dealers signified an Intention of pleading guilty when trial comes.
