they allege to be "holdup'' methods on
the part of John Heald, proprietor of the
local skating rink, in retaining $2450 of
the proceeds of Wednesday evening s
benefit at the rink for the lifesaving ap-
paratus fund, the volunteer fire depart
ment, which had the affair in hand, to-
day made public statement of its posi-
ton in the matter. The claim is made
that Heald had agreed to furnish with
out charge the use of the rink and the
services of a band as a personal contri-
button to the benefit project
The benefit, to the success of which
Manager Frank Lawton of the ship hotel
donated the services of the Hawaiian
orchestra, Manager James Kavanagh of
the amusement park. a band and score
of performers their services, was held at
the rink, it is alleged, in preference to
other places that were available because
of the apparent enthusiasm of Head in
entering with the volunteers into their
arrangements. -
To date about $500 has been subscribed
at the local banks to be used in estab-
fishing the proposed life. station here
which with other funds in hand, 1T is
believed, is enough to make the project
effective in a small way The. matter is
in the hands of prominent citizens, who
claim to be forwarding arrangements

embarrassing position in which police
court affairs have become since the unex-

opinion in the matter, which he promised
to render, as soon as he could interpret
the law, Is being eagerly awaited.
Local attorneys state that the California
statutes make no provision for passing to
any other magistrate the duties of the
office, and that although Myers would be
within the law by filling, in case of
emergency, the chair of the local police
judge the police judge cannot under any
circumstances substitute Myers as justice
of the peace. The muddle threatens to
reach an alarming stage unless quickly
Strengthened out. There are now several
important cases overdue on the missing
Justices calander and absolutely no word
has been heard from him since his absence
from the community. Mrs. Myers is at a
loss to account for her husbands disap-
pearance.

That they will be allowed to so re-
