few minutes, afterward climbing into cab in
which he and the reporter driven back to
police headquarters. After some wire pulling and
good deal of red tape, they were permitted to see
Knight. They found him standing at the barred cell
door, staring out with weary eyes and palid face.
4 would like to ask three or four questions to
which you can have no possible objection, said The
Thinking Machine. IF you do object, of course
'Well?" demanded the prisoner.
Have you travelled in Europe?"
L was there for nearly year,
"Have you ever been interested in any other
woman? Or has any other woman ever been in
terested in your"
The prisoner stared at his questioner coldy
"No' he answered emphatcally
Your answer to that question may mean your
freedom within few hours said The Thinking
Machine calmly. Tell me the truth
That is the truth, upon my honor.
Just where in Italy did you buy your st1etto
cane?" the next question.
In Rome
Rather expensive?"
Five hundred lire; that is, about hundred
dollars
Il suppose they are very common in Italy?''
Eyes, rather"
serious or otherwise between you and Miss Olver?"
Never was the quick response
"Now, only more question:, said The Think
ing Machine. II shall not ask 1T to hurt you
There a little pause, and Hatch waited expect
antly. Does it happen that you know whether
not Miss Oliver ever had any other love affair."
Certainly notl" exclaimed the young man hotly.
"She was Just a girl-only twenty, out of college
just few months ago. and-and- -"
You needn't say any more, interrupted The
your plans to leave here tonight, not later than
midnight. 1t is four o'clock Tomorrow the
newspapers will exonerate YOU
The prisoner seemed almost overcome by his
emotions He started to speak, but only extended
an open hand through the bars.
The Thinking Machine laid his slender fingers in
it with slight look Of annoyance, said Good day"
mechanically and he and Hatch went out
DO you actually anticipate that you will be able
to get Knight out of this thing easily?' asked
Hatch as they drove in the cab
Certainly" was the reply. The problem is
solved except for one or two minor points. Now |
proving it
"But-but-"
Il will make it all clear to you in due time"

rus was on, the party
startedinto the wrong
box; and the usher
mentioned casually
that the divers were
in there. We presume
he knew Mrs. Oliver
by sight, and saw her.
He might reasonably
have surmised, per-
haps he was told, that
the other woman was
Miss Oliver - and
Miss Oliver meant to
him the woman who
had Tilted him. The
latticework offered a
way, the din of the
music screened the
act-and that's all"
The detective was
gnawing his mus
tache. " But the
threats that I Knight
made?" he inquired
finally.
Has he explained
them"

The Thinking Machine with something
nearly akin to agitation in his face and his slender
fingers worked nervously What" he demanded
abruptly. WHAT" Then after pause Il beg
your pardon sir. 1t startled little. But are
you sure"
Perfectly sure" replied Oliver firmly. They
could not have met in anyway"
For long time the Thinking Machine stood
squirting aggressivey at his host with bewider-
ment plainly apparent in his manner Something
had gone wrong; a cog had slipped the wheels of
logic had been thrown out of gear
Il have made a mistake Mr.. Oliver said The
Thinking Machine at last L sorry to have
disturbed YOU"
What is it," asked Hatch anxiously as they
took their seats in the cab.
I've made mistake, - was the petulant response
I'm going home and start all over again. 1t may
be that shall send for you later"

started to say something,
then thought better of it.

They were both silent
until the cab stopped.
Hatch glanced out and
recognized the Oliver
home. The Thinking
Machine asked to see
Oliver, who came down
stairs Immediately. Il
will disturb you for
only a few moments, "
said the scientist.

to confirm what | may
say is my knowledge
that your daughter
Eleanor knew this
man. | will ask, too,
that you do not men
ton his name now.
He scrubbed hastily
on a piece of paper
and handed it to
Oliver.
An expression of
deep surprise came in
to the latter's face, and
he shook his head. Il

ton positively" he
said. She does not

The most joyful day of all the year
for many of the youngsters of the city
was yesterday when all of the schools

office of the board of education and
solemnly swore that the report they
turned in was the truth, the whole
truth, etc.
None of the schools of the city had
any special exercises in honor Of the
day of freedom, but it is certain that
every boy and girl in the city who OBJ
tanned surcease of school for the sum-
mer yesterday rejoiced loudly and sim
cerely.
Vacation will end September II and
the teachers and students who are now
tired and worn out with the years
work will come back to their duties
with a zest and earnestness intensified
by the rest which they have enjoyed.

The Idea in Brief
The idea which the members of the
commission have been working on is
that il San Pedro and Wilmington can
be induced to join in a movement of
this kind, an effort might be made to
secure a withdrawal of the petitions
now before the city council for the an
nexation of several square miles of ter
ritory on the north and east, and iI-
clude this territory in a blanket petit
ton covering the two harbor towns
named and the intervening district be-
tween them and Los Angeles
In this way the whole question could
be disposed of at one special election
and the probabilities are that this part
of the annexation scheme could be car
ried out within the next few months.
Once this important result is accom-
plished the details of the general con-
solidation plan could be worked out In
a more leisurely manner. 30 e ,r7

qualified the decree by allowing the
company TO operate the bridge two days

1t is said the company will apply to
the water department. for the permis-
sion to construct a draw bridge at the
point where their bridge Is now located.
The judgment confirms recent rul-

Talked 1t Over

The testimony given by Frank l..
Cliff was that he and Ruth talked of
the matter for several weeks and de-
cided they must raise money by some
means and decided upon taking ten
dollar confederate bills and pasting the
amount over the 81 which was on the
regular bill and then pass the money
for it's raised value.
Cliff stated he had procured thirteen
81 bills from San Francisco banks and
as many confederate bills were OBJ
tanned by Ruth. Cliff stated the idea
was suggested by Ruth and the work of
pasting the assumed value was done by
his confederate.
Commissioner Van Dyke held Ruth
to answer and it is said by the secret
service men that Cliff will also be in
dicted before the grand jury at San
Francisco.
Although Ruth was arrested by Sc
cret Service Detective G.. w. Hayes in
Los Angeles. his confederate was ar
rested in San Francisco and was
brought to Los Angeles to testify
against Ruth.
Both Of the men will be taken to San
Francisco and if the charge is proven
against them each will receive from one
to fifteen years Imprisonment for the
alleged offense.

Charged with altering government

Francisco, had hearing before United
States Commissioner William NJ Van
Dyke of the district court of Southern
California yesterday and was bound
over to answer the charge before the
federal court in San Francisco.
In the complaint against Ruth it is
alleged that he feloniously defrauded
Mrs. G. Robert of San Francisco by
passing a silver certificate which had
been raised from 81, it's governmental
value, to $40.
According to the secret service de-
tectiveS Ruth and Frank l.. Cliff at one
time were travelling for a window sash
clutch company and in San Francisco
became penniless. Not being able to
find work, Ruth is alleged to have sug-
gested to his partner the raising of

r protection for its harbor.

for protection for its harbor
''It, is now for San Pedro to decide
if it wants to stand alone in building
up and protecting that harbor, or
whether it wants to join Los Angeles
and secure the powerful aid of this city
in that great work.
ut will be a case of Los Angeles
San Pedro, Wilmington and Long
Beach controlling the harbor jointly, or
the state of California eventually
placing the control in the hands of a
political commission.
This is not the commissions fight
1t is for the people of San Pedro to say
whether or not they will come in. If
they do not want to join Los Angeles
the subject might as well be dropped"
Mr.. Burbank, representing Hunting
ton Park, addressed the commission,
stating that so far as he was able to
judge the residents of Huntington Park
were anxious to become a part of Los
Angeles, and suggested that COM
mittee be appointed to take up this
question and arrange for the circulation
of the necessary petition. He stated
that two important manufacturing in
dustries already had been established,
and that another, a plow concern from
South Bend, Ind, was seeking loca-
tion there.
