TRAIL Of
DEBTS BEHIND
CREDITORS CLAM0R FOR H. E.
MlLLARD'S RETURN
Affairs of Electrical Establishment
Are in Hopeless TangIe--Books
of Concern Have Disappeared
Along With Owner
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
RIVERSIDE, July 6.-It develops
that the financial affairs of H. E. Mil
lard, who disappeared last Saturday,
are in a worse tangle than was at first
thought. Creditors whose claims
amount to $4,000 have already appeared,
and it is thought there may be others.
Millard announced that he was going
to Los Angeles on business and moth
ing was thought of his disappearance
until his wife announced that she had
received a letter from her husband
saying he would not return as his af-
fairs were in too much of tangle for
him to ever square things.
Millard conducted an establishment
in the Burt block and was a contractor
for electrical work. His stock is be-
ieVed to be worth about $4,000, but it is
not known what part of this his credit
ors can get. The books kept by Mil
lard have disappeared, The Redlands
National bank is a sufferer in the sum
of $3.50, in addition to local people.
One of the largest losers here is f.
Bamberger, a money loaner, who holds
unsecured notes against Millard for
several large sums. On one of these,
for $210, he attached the electrical
stock. Workmen employed by the
electrical men and numerous business
men who cashed checks for him are
also losers.
Mrs. Mllard has not lost faith in her
husband and believes that he will yet
return and settle up. Millard was,
prominent worker in the Congregation
al church and has enjoyed the general
confidence of the community up to the
time of his disappearance.

Long Beach Notes
Special to The Herald.

LONG BEACH, July 6.-As it is be-
lieved that more haste should be made
if a charter for Long Beach is to be
procured at the next Legislature the
city council will probably appoint ad-
ditional census takers. When the CEN
sus takers returns are in, a large
amount of work still remains to be done.
It is said that, working faithfully as
possible, it will be impossible for the
present force to finish the task before
August l,
Senator Scott of West Virginia has
written his brother-in-law, Dr. Homer
o. Bates of this city, that he will visit
Long Beach during the summer, proba-
bly, within the next month.
S. l.. Lent, chairman of the public
works committee, will ask the city
council at the meeting tonight, to make
some provision for alarm boxes at the
auditorium and sun parlor. At present
there is no alarm box south of the Salt
Lake tracks.
Samuel G. Paul. brother of Bert Paul,
well known real estate man, died
about noon today after an extended
illness. He was 80 years Old native
of England and had lived in Long
Beach two and one-half years.
A good program has been arranged
for the Long Beach skating rink tomor-
row night, when it will be thrown open

fund. This fund is to be used in furn-
ishing such a room in the auditorium.

BENEFIT CONCERT A SUCCESS
Miss YaW and Mrs. Dorm Tender a
Testimonial to Tenor
Hendrick

The concert at Dobinson auditorium
last night, given for the benefit of
local tenor, attracted a full house.
Then, too, it was more than musical
emotion that was aroused in the audi
ence, for every one present felt deeply
In his heart for the tenor, Charles t.
Hendrick, who is having hemorrhages
in his eyes and is here with his mother
under the care of the doctors.
Mrs. Fred r. Dorm and Miss Yaw
altruistically took upon themselves to
give this concert for his benefit.
The first number was the we'll known
Seventh Concerto by de Beriot, which
was successfully rendered by Mr..
Schertziner, who made his first ap-
pearance last night. He is a pupil of
c. Thompson and Shraidlick and plays
gracefully, both from musical and
technical standpoint.
The well known singer, Mr. Lott,
sang Hear Me Ye Winds and Waves"
by Handel. His voice is round and his
tones manly, but perhaps lacks in the
versatility of dynamic and emotional
effects. He speaks his words out with
resonant articulation which makes his
singing attractive.
William Edison Strobridge then
played the Schumann Toccata Op. 7.
Mr. Strobridge's playing is marked by
his bringing out the phrasing and ac-
centuation of the minor individual mo-
tives. The general effect is clear and
therefore harmonious.
Miss Yaw sang Verdi's "Ah! fors'e
lui," from the opera of "Traviata,"
with her usual artistic rendition. Her
sweet face, graceful manners and
pleasing presence always succeed in
elciting enthusiastic applause upon
her appearance and her high voice is
always an attraction.

Special to The Herald
SAN BERNARDINO. July 6.-Pri-
vate letters just received here from the
Palo Verde valley, on the Colorado
river, state that the floods have driven
nearly every rancher in the valley from
their homes. Some had taken refuge on
the house tops, their escape having been
cut off by the rapidly rising flood.
At the writing of the letters the
flood was stationary, and it was be-
lieved the waters would not rise
further.
The property loss is great all over the
valley, the ranchers losing great guam
titles of hay and other crops. Many
ranchers have camped in the sur
rounding hills,
The land owners of the valley will

fields Of La Habra valley present a
lively scene these days, about thirty
men being employed in the threshing
of the barley crop which covers 5000
acres
Notwithstanding the damage done by
the spring rains which reduced the crop
fully one-third, detracting from the
weight of the grain, the average yield
to the acre is better than that of last
year. Each acre produced an average
of thirteen sacks. making a total of 100-
900 sacks, and 100000 is a conservative
estimate of the value of the entire crop,
as the price for barley this year is 81
