Ruling that 25-cent option given on
property in excess of 100000 and the
tender under same were not sufficient
decision was rendered yesterday up
holding the judgment of the superior
court from which the case OF Robert

pealed.

ton ran to June l and was renewable

mandng that she fulfill the terms of
the contract. She refused to sell, and
suit was brought against her. The su-
perior court decided in her favor and

LONG BEACH, June 2O.-Miss Olivia
Putnam, the Los Angeles young woman
who was arrested in Santa Monica on
q charge of passing worthless checks,
was rearrested by Chief Williams OF

morning just after she had been re-
leased on her own recogniZance. Ac-
companied by Attorney Mattison B.

is said, she is living, she was brought
to Long Beach and arraigned this after
noon before Justice Brayton, who, upon
hearing of the disposition made of the
case in Santa Monica, released Miss
Putnam on her own recognizance, pend
ing hearing here next Tuesday. Miss
Putnam is charged with having passed
bogus checks on the Chambers shoe
store and the Mercantile company s
store in Long Beach.
Last night, the police have learned
Attorney Jones and Miss Putnam came
to this city and reimbursed the two
firms in the amount they lost.
Miss Putnam, who was greatly agf-
tated by the fear that she would receive
a prison sentence, as did Ruby Cassel-
man, said that she was led to try the
worthless check game by fashionably
dressed woman of this city. Attorney
Jones pleaded for the girl today, saying
she was young and easily influenced,
and should be given another chance
The police are investigating the wom-
ans story. AS yet they are ignorant OF

woman" who is said to have led Miss
Olivia into crime.

MUNICIPAL ENGINEER MEETS
TERRIBLE DEATH
Pasadena officer, Noticing Lights Are
Still Burning, Sets Inquiries on
Foot, Leading to GreWsome
Discovery

Special TO The Herald.
PASADENA, June 2O-At s o'clock
this morning the dead body of Charles
w. r. Lewis, night engineer at the
municipal electric light and power
plant, was found under the huge fly
wheel of the engine. The body was
horribly mangled and it is evident that
the engineer slipped while standing on
q bench to oil the shaft of the engine
and was killed instantly.
Detective Coping, on duty at the
police station early this morning, re-
marked that the street lights were not
turned out with the coming of day
light, and endeaVored to call the power
house by telephone. Receiving nc
answer he sent Patrolman Rice down
to the plant on a motorcycle Rice
found the place locked, but secured en-
trance with a pass key and at once
discovered the tragedy.
Superintendent Koiner of the plant
together with City Electrician Reeves
and Police Surgeon William Mccoy, al
once hurried to the power house on
South Raymond avenue in an ambu-
lance. Lewis body was taken from
the pit under the flywheel, where he
had fallen. and DR.. Mccoy decided that
life had been extinct for about two
hours.
The last entry in the record book in
which the engineer was required to
make an hourly report of conditions
was dated ] a. m, SO it is evident that
the accident occurred some time be-
tween that hour and 2 o'clock.
Lewis had been in the employ of the
city eight months and had worked for
several electrical companies here pre-
vious to that time. He had been In
California fourteen years and was 81
years old at the time of his death
He was a native of Australia and has

SAN BERNARDINO, June 20.-It is
believed here that Julia Sunberg, who
was shot at Sacramento by John w.
Forsberg, was not his only victim.
Henry w. Ludwig of this city says
that Forsberg also killed Miss Fannie
Hampton of Philadelphia. Neither
woman knew of the other until on the
way to California. The Hampton wo-
man has mysteriously disappeared
since coming to California and it is
believed by friends of the Sunberg
woman that Forsberg also made way
with her.
There is, however, another theory in
the matter. There seems to be a mys-
terious woman in the case at Sacra-
mento, and it is believed that pos
sibly she may be the Miss Hampton of
Philadelphia and may have been de-
sirous of getting her rival out of the
way.
The matter will be further investi-
gated by friends in this city of the
murdered young woman.

In the superior court yesterday
Judge James approved the report of
the receivers of the West Side bank,

NEW ELECTRIC PLANT TO

Treating Sewage
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SANTA MONICA, June 20.-Hasten-
ing the work so as to avoid further
legal complications with Ocean Park,
the city government has planned to
put the new electric plant for the
treatment of sewage in use next Mon
day. If this works there will be no
further litigation over the injunction
which Santa Monica now has, re-
straining Ocean Park from tampering
with the sewer system even within its
own corporate bounds.
AS the municipal pier is not near
completion the sewage, which was to
have been discharged into the sea at
the outer end of it, will be turned loose
only 200 feet from shore.
If there is no hitch this city will
abandon its pumping plant now main
tanned underneath the auditorium, be-
tween Pier avenue and Marine street,
Ocean Park. Should the electric treat
ment not prove efficacious, however,
the present system, which has been
the cause of so much trouble, will have
to be fallen back upon, for bad sew
age discharged 200 feet from shore
would be ruinous to the Bristol pier
and other shore properties.

LIBRARY TAX TO BE
INCREASED TO FIVE CENTS
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, June 20.-Five cents on
each $100 will be the tax rate for the
benefit of the city library next year
according to the decision of the board
of trustees this morning. Last year it
was about cents.
The city charter allows the library to
fix it's tax rate at from 5 to 10 cents,
according to its needs. Hitherto the
trustees, in their economy, have kept
the rate below the prescribed minimum,
but on account of the rapid growth of
the library it was decided this year to
ask for the least sum allowed.
The funds available for the work next
year will be about $4,000, as against
S12,500 at present. Most of the increase
will be spent for the purchase Of new
books, since the library has now avail
able only $216 per month for this pur-
pose, although the annual circulation is
100000 volumes.

LIFE SAVERS AT LONG BEACH
DECLINE TO MARRY THEM
Special tc The Herald.


LONG BEACH, June 20.-Two young
people who said they had a marriage
license in their possession this morn
ing asked Life Savers Moeller and
Cobb, who are employed by the bath
house company, to take them out in
the lifeboat and marry them beyond
the breaker line. Having read that
sea captains have the right to perform
marriage ceremonies on the high seas,
the young people believed the life
guards, being professional boatmen,
could do the same sort of thing.
"Ah, would love to be married out
on the sad. beautiful. blue and deep
sea waves" murmured the young
woman, rapturously. They expressed
keen disappointment when the life
savers told them they had no author
ity to tie nuptial knot and that, if
they had. they would hesitate to do
so, clad as simply as they were.
