Something suspiciously like moisture

eleven copies.
He watched the little fellow as he
trotted down the platform TIL he sailed
round a corner and was lost to sight.
Fifteen seconds later the engine gave
a final shrek. and the train slowly
glided out OF the station.
The man glanced round at his fellow

CINCINNATI, o., Nov. 9.--Alleged
blackmailers of Charles L. Warmer,
former local treasurer of the Big Four
railroad, accused of embezzling $643,000,
will be dealt with by the state author
tiles.
County Prosecutor Hunt stated to-
day he had investigated charges made
by Warmer against a man and a
woman and that he would proceed
against them If he were able to collect
sufficient evidence.
In the menatime, apparently we'll
founded reports maintain that the War
riner defalcations are far in excess of
the sum mentioned by Vice President
Harris of the New York Central, and
that they may exceed $1,000,000 and
may possibly reach $2,000,000.
These reports are supported by the
fact that railroad officials caused War
riners arrest on a charge of embez-
zling S54,500 and when pressed later
admitted the amount would be at least
100000. When that sum was raised
to more than $5O0,O00 speculation be-
came rife and it is practically assured
now the total embezzlement will reach
record breaking figures,

PASADENA, Nov. 9.-Rev. DR.. Rob-

LONG BEACH, Nov. 9.-The young
municipality of Belmont Heights be-
comes consolidated with Long Beach as
the result of the election held today in
the two cities. In the seven voting pre-
cincts of Long Beach the total vote in
favor of consolidation was S23, while 81
voted against it. In Belmont, where
there was only one voting place, the
vote was 81 for and AZ against.
The total vote was $40 for consolida-
ton to 79 against the measure.
The consolidation comes after Bel
mont Heights has struggled along as a
separate town for nearly two years,
during which dissensions among her
people engendered considerable feeling
The location of the city hall and later
the question of licensing cafes and al
lowing wholesale liquor houses to be
opened were subjects on which the citi-
zens were much divided. Three of the
trustees disliked the idea of consolida-
ton, and after the Long Beach city
council had called a consolidation cleo
tion the Belmont trustees refused TO
do so.
An order to call the election was
issued from the superior court, but an
appeal was taken. The supreme court
upheld the order, but some of the trus
tees could not be found for several
days thereafter to be served with the
papers.
After the election finally was called
the ro-consolidationists held meetings
at which Long Beach men, candidates
on the two political parties, made
promises as to what would be done for
the benefit of the Belmont folk should
they come in. The expenditure of taxes
paid in that territory, it was promised.
would be in Improvements there and
Belmont men would be employed. More
lights and fire protection were guaran-
teed and a reduction in the Pacific
Electric fare between Long Beach and
Belmont will be asked for.
Because of the fact that the anti.
consolidationists were known to have
considerable strength the pro-consoli-
dationists both in this city and in Bel
mont worked diligently today. AS
result a larger vote than expected was
polled in Long Beach.
A. W. oliver, n. H. Capron and Asa
r. Green were among the leaders in
Belmont in the fight for consolidation.
By the consolidation the Belmont
drink emporium will be put out of busi-
ness.
A beneficial result will be the, estab-
lishment of one school district includ-
ing both towns.

PASADENA, Nov. 9.-Just so long

"curls," Switches" "pompadours" and
"beau-catchers" do not interfere with
their studies the girls of the Pasadena
high school will be allowed to use them
as ornaments for the head. This is
the official statement of Professor
Leroy d. Ely as principal and Pro-
fessor A. L. Hamilton as superinten-
dent of schools.
1t has been rumored that number
of girls had been sent home because
they came to school with Julia Mar
lowe puffs," "Fritzie Scheff switches"
and "Billie Burke curls," and there
was anxiety in the hearts of the bal e
ance. However, these rumors were set
at rest today by the authorities, who
laughed heartily at the proposition.
They disclaimed any intention of in
terfering with the coiffeurs Of the dam
sells unless it had a tendency to affect
their studies. In that case they would
only too quickly put a ban on the hail
