THEIR NAME WAS LOWDER
But the Marriage License Clerk Was
Slow to Catch On to the
Fart

KANSAS CITY, Feb. IA good
looking young couple the prospective
groom giving his age as "a and the
bride hers as 20, had walked into the
off1ce of the marriage license clerk in
the court house yesterday and asked
for license Deputy Gossett prepared
to wait on them and with his blanks
before him and his pen poised expect
antly he asked:
What is the name, please?"
"Lowder" responded the groom quiet
ly, leaning a little forward.
What is the name please?" repeated
Mr.. Gossett, raising his voice little
this time.
"Lowder," repeated the young man
wonderingly.
Mr.. Gossett took a long breath and
prepared for a final effort.
'What-is-the-name he almost
roared.
"Lowder, Lowder," replied the appli-
cant, surprise almost getting the best
of him. Hiram Lowder of Chula, Mo-,
and we want marriage license"
"Oh!' gasped Mr. Gossett, "I see,"
and he wrote the name and the other
necessary details and turned to the
young woman.
"And what is your name?" he asked
her.
"Lowder," replied the young woman
with a SMILE and then as Mr.. Gossett
showed signs of collapse, she added,
Bessie F. Lowder of Chula, Mo-, and
my age is 90"
Mr.. Gossett's suspicious were aroused.
Are you related?" he asked
WELL" they said glancing coyly at
each other I'VE were once"
Were once?" repeated the astonished
Mr.. Gossett. well, if you were once
you must be now. What was it?"
WELL" said the young man, "if you
must know we were once husband and
wife. Then we had a foolish quarrel
about something and became divorced
But we've got over it now, haven't we,
Bessie?"
Bessie said yes and Mr. Gossett final
ly pulled himself together and issued
the license.

FOR PROTESTING
Ocean Park Trustee Fears Building

Property
Special to Tho Herald.

Special to Tho Herald.
VENICE, Feb. Announcement that
Ocean Park city Trustee G.. M. Jones.
representing Short Line beachlproperty
interests, had placed on file with United
states Engineer Amos Fries a protest
against the breakwater plans proposed
by the Abbot Kinney company, was
received with considerable surprise
here today and a general discussion
brought forth severe criticism and
variance of opinion as to the policy of
the protestants I'm taking action ad-
verse to the harbor project.
In his action Mr. Jones Is supported
by G. II. Toll of the Venice promotion
committee and John II. Griffcn, all Of
who base their objections on the the
ory that the construction of an addition
to the south end of the present break
water or the lengthening of the pier at
Windward avenue Will result disas-
trously to the beach frontage in the
Short Line district. This assumption
arises from the fact that soon after The
building of the present breakw9ter the
shore front directly south OF Wind
ward avenue was ravaged by the sea,
resulting in thousands of dollars dam
age to property owners and making the
construction of bulkhead protection
necessary.
But whether the improvements or the
extraordinarily high tides that swept
the entire Santa Monica bay shore dur
ing the winter of 1906, when the dam
age was wrought, were responsible for
the unparalleled severity Of the sea
Immediately south of the breakwater
is a question that has never been fully
answered. Frank Peltret, general ad-
visor to Mr.. Kinney, gives no credence
to the statement that the action of the
protestants will cause a holding up of
the plans and contends that matter is
one for court adjustment, as the gov
ernment's interest is confined to the
subject in relation to navigation only.

SHORTENS S5 AND $40 NOTES
Treasury official Believes a Bank
Cashier Makes Six Bills Out
of Five

WASHINGTON, Feb 1.-The most
expert case of note shortening that has
ever come to the notice of the treasury
department officials is now puzzling the
United States treasurer.
Great quantities of $5 and $40 notes,
an inch or so short of the regulation
size, have been coming into the treas
ury department for the last six weeks.
The treasury officials, in redeeming
them, deduct an amount relatively as
large as the part of the note that is
missing.
Il am convinced" said an Off al in
the redemption division of the treasury
department, that the person who is
working the game now has access to
large amounts of money. l suspect the
cashier of a bank or trust company or
some such institution where big suns
are handled. hold this opinion because
of the excellence of the shortening
and the perfect manner in which the
mutilated notes are made short.
Briefly, the manner of shortening
is as follows Five notes are secured
and are carefully cut into varying
lengths and are pasted together so as to
form six notes, all being shorter than
the regulation size"

STREET Superintendent
WANTS STREETS OILED
Special to The Herald.

LONG BEACH, Feb. I'm the hands
of the public works committee of the
city council is report submitted by
C. j. e. Taylor, street superintendent.
recommending the oiling Of two hun
dred blocks of streets. This work would
cost $4,000, 1t is estimated. Taylor
urges that the work be undertaken at
once in order that 1t may be completed
before the opening of the summer sea-
son.
'It would cost thousands of dollars
to sprinkle the streets specified with
water during the summer" said the
street superintendent, "and the benefits
would be only temporary To oil the
streets and sand them from curb to
curb would cost about SIS block. This
work would be of lasting benefit"
Mayor #. IL. Downs has suggested
that the city purchase its own teams
and wagons and do the work specified
without giving II out to contractors.
This plan was successfully used in Riy-
erside.
