SAY WOMAN MAY BE
SUCCESSOR TO LOvELACE
Miss Alice Dietrich Expected to Take
Charge of Affairs at Ocean Park
Postoffice in the Near
Future

Special to The Herald
OCEAN PARK, Dec. 25-Except to deny
that his wife had given out an interview
Loveace, who is under $1,000 bonds to
answer a charge of embezzling govern
ment funds, was uncommunicative to-
day as to developments in the trouble In
which he is involved.
The former postmaster, feeling deeply
the disgrace that the widespread pub
licity of his alleged peculations have
brought upon his family and relatives,
spent the day with hisAwife and two chill
dren at his pretty Fraser avenue home.
Mayor T. H. Dudley of Santa Monica
and A., r. Fraser, president OF the Ocean
Park Improvement company, who are
sureties for Lovelace against loss to the
government, announce they are protected
against any shortage that may be dis
covered in his accounts by an indemnity
bond.
The estimates of the discrepancy that
will be found in the postoffice books run
from $500 to $25OO Miss Alice Dietrich.

office has been connected with the de-
partment more than three years and Is
looked upon as the probable appointee
to the vacant postmastership.

ALIENS WILL COME BACK,
OFFICIALS PREDICTION
T. v. Powderly Of immigration Depart
ment Gives Opinion as to Cause
of the Exodus-Csn Live
Cheaper at Home

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-Analysis of
the causes of the regent marked exodus
of aliens from the United States is con-
tanned in an interview given here today
by T. v. Powderly, chief of the division
of information, bureau of immigration.
Mr.. Powderly is trying to divert immi-
grafton to those parts of the United
States where it will do the most good.
Several causes combine to bring about
the eastward march of the aliens now
leaving u.s." he said. Every year a
great number of aliens return to their
homes for the winter The railroads,
particularly in the north, east and west,
lay off men engaged in outdoor work
and, following this, others are thrown
out of employment. These men find it
desirable to return to their old homes for
the winter. They have the opportunity
to visit their friends and relatives, and
can live much cheaper there during the
winter than here, for food and logging
are cheaper and the climate is not so
severe
I'm other years the exodus began the
latter part of October and continuing up
to Christmas, but this year the rush was
accentuated by the financial furry.
Those who imagine that our aliens do
not read are somewhat in error, for
those who cannot read have others to
read to them and they keep a sharp eye
upon the trend of events in this country,
so that when the papers announced
under scare head lines that things We're
going wrong. these men, not trained
to analyze the statements made, took
alarm and quite a number more went
away than would have gone in former
years.
Another case is to be found in the
fact that every four years, preceding the
presidential election, there is tendency
eastward on the part of the aliens. They
hear so much said about the uncertainty
of presidential year that they prefer to
take no chances and go home early.
There is still another cause for the re-
turn of Italians to their native land. 1t
is estimated that about $100,00O 900 will be
expended in Italy in bringing the rail-
ways up to a proper standard of>effic-
iency, and Italy is calling her sons who
have learned how to make good railroads
in this country back to their old homes.
There is more work to do in this
country than ever before; there is a
necessity for more men and women to do
it. and the first months of next year will
see a return of aliens who will be able
to find remunerative employment in this
country"

POMONA. Dec 25--There was little
division talked about in Pomona today
other than that of the turkey and nobody
'petitioned-out."
One of the brightest and best days OF
the year was enjoyed to the fullest
measure by everyone and in innumerable
different ways.
In the morning many attended the
beautiful services at the Episcopal and
Catholic churches; in the evening can
tata was given at the Methodist churcn
south! During the day Christmas trees
blossomed forth, shedding nght ana JOY
into the hearts of young and old.
r In the afternoon interest centered on
the baseball game between the Sherman
institute boys Of Riverside and the 20
mona high school lads.
Several good sized reunions took place,
attracting home to their friends ana rela-
tives scores OF former Pomonans. BIZ
cycle and buggy rides auto tours and
long tramps over the hills were INDUCED
in-alllin all it was one big, happy, whole
souled holiday ,
Pomona can little realize the hard
times which are said to exist elsewhere.
Here banks return gold for scrip; snop-
keepers report record-breaklng safes anu
the sale of turkeys and toys was never
SO great. Few are down and OUT in the
metropolitan significance of the term
and they have been amply provided for
by the several charitable and fraternai
organizations.
Valuable relief has been rendered In
particular by the Elks and the Fruit and
