CONANDOYLE CLEARS
MYSTERY OF LETTER
"LEWIs THE LIGHT" NOT HEIR TO
FORTUNE
Long Beach Character, Who Answered
Advertisement in English Paper,
Unrelated to George EdaIji
of England
snecial to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, Dec. 1O.-With the as
sistance of Marshal Young and PATROL
man Philips, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has
cleared up another mystery, this time re-
lieving the minds of George Edalji and
family, of England of not little anxiety
and fear. A mysterious letter recently
received by Edalji revived fears which
the man had fifteen years ago, when the
Edalji family were the recipients of a
number of letters of threatening ma
ture, none of them being signed.
The letter was signed Frank Sharpe"
and was mailed from Long Beach. The
police here were communicated with. By
strange coincidence they found that a
Frank Sharpe was living at the Ark,
rooming house on East Fourth street,
when the letter. was written. Their in
quiries, however, resulted in the discov-
cry that the missive was not the work of
this man, but of Lewis the Light" an
eccentric character who has sent
strangely worded letters all over the
United States. Lewis the Light" who
rooms at the Ark, writes in many of his
letters that the persons to whom they are
addressed can secure immunity from all
harm by paying tithes to him. He de-
clares the San Francisco disaster would
have been averted had he been properly
recompensed.
The police learned today that his true
name is Lewis Burgess Greenslate, that
he was born in Witheredge, North Devon,
England, and that he was at one time
prosecuted by Sir Henry Knight, to
whom he sent several strange documents.
Greenslate recently saw an advertise
ment in an English newspaper, in which
George Edalji asked to be informed of
the present whereabouts of Frank Sharpe,
a missing relative to whom a large
sum Of money had teen bequeathed.
Greenslate wrote letter to Edalji at
once, addressing it in care of A. c. Doyle,
Great Wyrley, Staffordshire, England.
The police recently located Frank
Sharpe at Santa Ana and it was thought
for a time that he was the missing heir.
This proved to be incorrect.

TREASURER GONE, is
ACCUSED OF THEFT
ELWYN n. AUSTIN, FRATERNAL
BROTHERHOOD, WANTED
Reporting Members as Suspended,
Pocketed Dues Amounting to
$500, Charge Of Long
Beach Lodge
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, Dec. 10.-Elwyn III.
Austin, treasurer of the local Fraternal
Brotherhood lodge, has disappeared and
the members of that organization
charge him with having taken with
him between $400 and $500 of the
lodges money. Austin, who had been
treasurer of the lodge since last June,
is alleged to have employed an odd
method of holding out funds which had
been paid to him.
In the month following his election
he made his only report to the lodge.
In October he stated that fifteen sus-
pensions had been made because the
members had not paid their dues, and
in November thirty were said to have
dropped behind in the same way.
Members of the lodge believe that AUS
tin would have soon suspended ma
jority of the members of the order.
Some of the members suspended were
found to have paid year in advance.
The supreme council in Los Angeles
started an investigation which dis
closed the fact that a discrepancy ex-
listed between the books of the local
lodge and those of the supreme council.
Austin was last seen about ten days
ago riding on an expressman's wagon
in which were two trunks. He former
ly lived at 32S East First street. He is
well known here for his attempt 10
secure a contract from the city to pro-
vide an American band. He induced a
number of eastern musicians to come
here. promising them positions. They
found that he had no band and that his
chances to secure a contract, at least
before next year, were nil. Most OF
the men have returned east.

SANTA MONICA, Dec. 10.-Stories OF
dispute between Mayor Dudley and the

waited about in city hall circles were
given color last evening when the coun-
Gil, after passing park commission or
dinance over the mayors veto, was pre-
sented with the chief executives first an
nual report in which he minced no words
in expressing his dissatisfaction with the
way affairs have been conducted IN the
various city departments
Embodied in his report the mayor
states his opinion that If all the ofncers
of the city would attend strictly to their
own duties and not interfere with the
duties of others, as in some cases has hap
pened. all friction would disappear

NO ELECTION FOR LIGHT
BONDS YET IN SIGHT

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Dec. 1e.-On account OF
the holiday proclamation the council
today again postponed action in call
ing the bond election to make further
addition to the city lighting plant.
The report of superintendent Glass
for November shows total expense
for operating of $1126.1S. Operating
supplies on hand December ! fnvolce
s1o7s. This report it is said does not
meet the favor of some of the council
men, while Mayor Farley lays all the
blame on the uncompleted condition OF
the lighting system on the shoulders OF
Mr.. Glass.
The mayor says when he first took
hold of the city's affairs he called on
Mr.. Glass for a statement of how much
money would be required to complete
the plant so as to light the streets
and the figures were furnished as re-
quested.
The mayor now charges that Mr..
Glass has not only expended the
amount of his estimate, but Las ex-
ceeded that sum by several thousand
dollars, which the chief executive
claims is the cause of the acquisition
fund being overdrawn.
