FATHER IN DISGUISE
HUNTS FOR DAUGHTER
YOUNG WOMAN RUNS AWAY
WITH SWEETHEART
Resident of Riverside Dons False
Mustache and Wig to Find Girl
Who Objects to Washing
Clothes

SAN BERNARDINO, May John
Cummings of Riverside was in this
CITY today on a still hunt for his daugh-
ter. Miss Myrtle Cummings. The lrate
father. in the search for his runaway
daughter donned false mustache ana
wig and played the sleuth. He hnaliy
appealed to the police in an effort 10
learn of the whereabouts of the girl.
In company with her sweetheart,
Jess Crowell, also of Riverside, she
was found on a street and persuaded
to go to the city hall and meet her
father.
The pretty girl lost no time in telling
her whole troubles to Chief of Police
Secombe. 1t appears that she was un-
able to do washing and other hard
work which her father demanded that
she do. She finally appealed to her
sweetheart, who, although unable TO
marry her on account of having wife
who as yet has not secured her tinal
divorce papers. brought her to this city,
where he secured her a position with a
friend of his family.
With much advice from the head OF
the police department the three finally
returned to Riverside, where the father
promises he will see that his daughter
has less work to do in the future.

SUPPOSED DRUNKARD
ROUGHLY USED; DIES
Resident of San Bernardino Has
Stroke of Apoplexy in Pool
Room and Is Dragged
Into Alley

SAN BERNARDINO, May 10. A.
Holloway was last night thrown out of
a poolroom in the rear of the VendOme
saloon as d common drunkard. For a
quarter of an hour he lay on the pave
ment before found by the police, who in
an effort to arouse him from what they
at first supposed was a drunken sleep,
discovered that the man was seriously
ill., A call was sent in for the county
hospital ambulance, and although he
lived for a few hours after arriving at
that institution, he never regained con-
sciousness.
Entering the poolroom and seating
himself, suddenly his dead dropped on
his breast and he commenced to slip
down in his chair. The attendant in
the poolroom, without taking time to
examine him, grabbed him and pulled
the unfortunate man from his chair
over to the floor and then dragged him
out into the'alleyway.
He was suffering from a stroke of
apoplexy, and although every effort was
made to revive him he never regained
Holloway was we'll known throughout
the city, and during the last municipal
campaign served as a delegate on the
Republican ticket to the primaries. He
was boilermaker by trade, and for a
number of years was employed as a
sub-foreman in the Santa Fe shops, and
later at the Ellis iron works. At the
time of his death he was in the employ
of the Parker iron works, and yester-
day reported that he was not feeling
well and would not work, although at
that time it was not thought that there
was anything seriously wrong with
him.
His brother is city boiler inspector in
Los Angeles, and he has a daughter
residing at Buena Vista, Cal.

SAN PEDRANS WORK
FOR CONSOLIDATION
LOS ANGELES COMMITTEE TO
INSPECT HARB0R
Opposition Element, Which Has Stood
on Terminal Rate Question, Be-
IieVes It Will Get 1t from
Los Angeles

SAN PEDRO, May with the in
spection of the harbor, which will be
made tomorrow afternoon by the sub
committee of the consolidation COM
mittee of Los Angeles, it is hoped the
larger committee soon will be ready to
make its report as to the consolidation
question. The sentiment today in san
Pedro is strong for consolidation. The
element of opposition, which has stood
out on the terminal rate question: has
apparently been converted to the logic
a. conclusion which the consultations
lists here long ago reached that the
Jobbers of Los Angeles would use this
port after consolidation, and in order
to use it terminal rates would be neces-
sary both for their business and the
upbuilding of the whole city.
The chamber of commerce, it is be-
lieVed soon will receive a favorable re-
port from its committee which is look
ing into this question. The next point
which the chamber of commerce in
tends to investigate is the charter of
the city of Los Angeles. Amendment
No. Z will receive special scrutiny, in
order to see if the water frontage viii!
be properly cared for after consolida-
ton.
If the charter and it's late amend
ments can stand the acid test which
probably will be applied, the chamber
of commerce will want to know what
the local conditions here will be after
consolidation with special reference to
the fire, police protection and the care
of parks and streets.
In the resolutions which were sent
to the consolidation committee and the
city council by the board of trade of
san Pedro all of these points were
dwelt on, and the citizens of San Pedro
believe the whole matter will be under
stood thoroughly after the report by
the Los Angeles committee is issued.
Carrying out its policy of "a square
deal for ALL" the report viii put the
citizens of this city in the position for
an election which should be carried by
an overwhelming majority.

citizens of this city.
City officers declare that it is ridicu-
lous to have so many little communities
within radius so small as that of the
small cities around Los Angeles. They
cite that the consolidation spirit started
with the launching of a Greater New
York, and has progressed ever since,
and that it is only a question of a
short time before the neighboring
cities around Los Angeles will be
merged into a greater city under the
borough system.
Il believe that consolidation properly
presented to the people would be car
ried with a rush. 1t may not be at
