an accident this forenoon at Fullerton
by which both men came in contact
with transmission wire carrying 10000

and was electrocuted.
Father and son fell to the ground, a
distance of twenty feet, where they

ATTORNEY MORRIS. HAS BEEN
MISSING TWO DAYS
Family Believes He Is Insane, and
Notices VIII Be Sent Out
Throughout State by
Authorities
Especial to The HERALD


SAN BERNARDfNO, Sept. 26.-Mys-
terry shrouds the disappearance of Cra-
mer b. Morris, the young attorney
who was arrested on a complaint from
Los Angeles charging him with bribing
a complaining witness in robbery
case in this city.
Morris has been gon W two days,
and not a trace of him has been Sc
cured. His family and friends here be-
lieve either that he is insane and has
wandered away, and possibly done him
self harm, or that he has simply left
the country and will not be heard from
again.
For days after he learned that action
was to. be taken against him he was
extremely nervous. After the warrant
was served he seemed to go to pieces,
and his brother, John Morris, took to
watching hem. The brother left the
room a few minutes on an errand, and
when he returned he found Cramer
Morris missing. From that moment
not a word has been heard from him.
Startling disclosures came in the
Cramer B. Morris affair tonight when
it was found that he probably had ben

man named Myers, who a few days ago
asked to see his securities. Morris then

MORE LIGHT THROWN ON
EVASION OF SUNDAY LAW
City Councilman Said to Be Involved,
and Police Authorities and
"tiigher Ups" Bitterly
Attacked

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 26.--That
beer by the barrel was sold last Sun
day, and several previous Sundays, at
the Larson restaurant, and that one OF
the city councilnhen was a patron OF
the place is the announcement that
today created a great sensation.
1t is more than probable that Chief
of Police Seccombe will be charged
with permitting open gambling and
selling of liquor Sundays to go ON with
his knowledge, in defiance of law.
Not for years past has there been
such a shakeup in police circles as
the present whirlwind of charges has
produced, and the end does not seem
to be in sight, it being alleged that
still more serious chapters are to be
sprung that may involve the higher
ups" in the city government.
Two other saloons, the Gem and the
Opera Bar, are accused of similar Of
lenses and charges will be placed
also against others. On the day of the
county bond election several saloons
opened up from half an hour to an hour
previous to the time for closing the
polls.
The police attempt to hide behind
the theory that it is impossible to Sc
cure convictions and that they knew
nothing of the alleged violations.

Especial to The Herald

LONG BEACH, Sept 26.-The launch
Music, Capt. ]. w. Russell, was con-
siderably damaged last evening when
the steamer Hermosa, docking at San
Pedro, swung her stern against the
smaller boat, smashing 1t into the dock.
The cracking. of timbers mingled with
the screams of the twenty passengers
on the launch. No one was injured,
however, and the launch was able to
make the trip to Long Beach, IL was
examined today to determine the ex-
tent of the damage.
Capt. Russell asserts that he had
given four blasts of the whistle,
signal of danger, but that the Her
mosa did not alter her course as she
came into the harbor.
Capt. Alec Smith of the Hermosa
claims he was not to blame and that
the Music should have been out of the

of the wheels and he received a wound
back of the right ear. He gave 1t no
attention. For more than a week
Navarena remained at his ranch and
suffered so much from the injury that
several days ago he came to the home
of his friend, John La Mothe. 1924

was famous as a cook. His resort was
the rendezvous of many of the old
time political leaders of Los Angeles
county. He leaves considerable prop
erty in the Santa Monica district and
