The Rhode Island state returning board, Of which Councilman C. Clar- ence Maxson of Westerly is a member, is still engaged in counting the ballots cast in the November election. The board has announced that the town of Westerly reelected Senator Louis W. Arnold by a plurality of 492 votes over Arthur Briggs, his democratic oppo- nent. Joseph T. Murphy, republican, defeated Gordon CottreH, democrat, by 308 votes in the Second district. Com munications accompanying the return from Westerly relieved the monotony of the court, John J. Dunn, clerk in the First district, wrote: "At the elec- ton held in district No. 1 Thomas W. Riddles protested to his name appear ing on the official ballot as a candi- date for senator, stating that he filed nomination papers as an Independent candidate for the house of representa- tives." This statement was corrobor- ated by the supervisors of the district
 The supervisors in the Second dis trict, i'll their missive to the returning board, said: "A most harmonious. quiet meeting, with marked increase of in telligence on the part of the voters as regards the marking of the ballots and a decrease of service rendered to the voters by the supervisors at the booth"
 The name of Thomas W. Riddles ap- peared for both senator and represent- ative on ballots cast in the First dis trict. He received 42 votes for senator and ' for representative. But for the error in printing the official vote those 42 votes would undoubtedly have been credited to Senator Arnold thereby making his plurality 534 instead of 492.

Maj. A. H. Johnson is the senior ma jor of the First district. but he has stepped aside for Major Matteson. The latter is now engaged in> business in New York and will probably retire in the near future. From his long term of service as a commissioned officer in the Rhode Island National guard, together with his Spanish American war service he is eligible to retire as a full colonel. In this case, it is probable that Major Johnson will be promoted to be lieutenant colonel.

BLACKSMITH KILLED IN
FIGHT WITH OFFICER

SAN BERNARDINO, May 17.-Dave
Allison. a local blacksmith, was shot
to death in front of the Stewart hotel
by Bert Nee, a special officer of the
Santa F'e and q former policeman.
The death of Allison ends the feud that
has been raging between the two men
for many months, and which began
two years ago when Nee served a war
rant on Allison for fighting.
The feud broke out tonight with in
creased fury when Allison stepped up
to Nee, who was standing at the cor
ner of Third and e streets with his
mother. and blew cigar smoke in his
face, remarking, it is said: "What do
you know about chicken stealing?"
An encounter followed. Nee drew
his revolver, which was knocked in the
air by a bystander and discharged.
The two men were then arrested by
the police.
Nee was released on his own recogni-
zance and Allison under $50 bail. Less
than an hour later Allison came up
behind Nee in front Of the Stewart
Hotel block and struck him on the side
of the head. Nee swung around with
his revolver and emptied five shots
into Allison's body nearly all of the
bullets reaching a vital spot.
AS Allison fell Nee gave himself up
to bystanders and went with them to
the county jail, where he Is held.
The death of Allison ends the career
of one Of the desperadoes of the city
who for years has figured in the police
court for participation in rows.
Nee is a member of one of the oldest
and most highly respected families Of
the city and has always borne a good
reputation.

FAVOR HIGHER SALARIES
FOR PASADENA TEACHERS
Board of Education ReappointS
Staff and Recommends Ad-
ditions in Division Heads

PASADENA, May 1S.- Sentiment
among the board of education members
last night seemed to be in favor of the
proposed increase of salaries for kin
dergarten and grammar school teach-
ers, although no definite action was
taken in the matter. Superintendent
Hamilton will compile a schedule OF
salaries in California towns comparing
in size with Pasadena and present the
same to a meeting of the board next
week. The board agreed @ncff!c!al!y
that salaries here should be as large as
elsewhere, if not larger.
The present corps of teachers was re-
nominated for next year, subject to
acceptance by the teachers not later
than June 1. A recommendation Great
ing two new positions was indorsed
and nominations made to fill the same,
as follows: F. L. Thurston as assistant
in the commercial department and Miss
Georgia B. Wilson as assistant in the
musical department. The creation Of
other additional departments is being
considered-a physical director with A
Claude Braden as a candidate, and an
instructor in the model office of the
commercial department, with Miss
Anna Wood of San Francisco as as
pirant.
A petition with the signatures of 104
teachers was presented to the board by
a committee of twenty in support of the
salary increase. Statistics were fur
nished showing that living expenses in
Pasadena in many instances are higher
than in Los Angeles. A conservative
estimate placed the cost at SS0S year,
making no allowance for expense dur
ing vacation periods. The present
salaries are $675 for nine months for
kindergarten directors, $685. for assist
ants and 5000 for grammar grade
teachers.

EDUCATION BOARD TO MEET
AND SELECT SCHOOL SITE

LONG BEACH, May 17.-At the
high school tomorrow afternoon at
o'clock the board of education will
meet to consider the question of Sc
lecting a site for the proposed Poly
technic high school. County Super
intendent Keppel called this meeting
as soon as the money was paid into
the county treasurer by the company
which bought the bonds.
At this time the members of the
board must agree unanimously on a
site or must submit the most favored
sites to a vote of the people, this being
the alternate method provided for by
the school law.
1t was proposed at a meeting of the

of education regarding the building of
the new school. This matter will be
considered Thursday, when the board
will meet with the directors.

WILL CONFlNE FIREWORKS
TO SAND AT OCEAN PARK

OCEAN PARK, May 1.-THE beach
sands will be the only place here where
a safe and sane Fourth will not be OBJ
served, as the result Of action taken by
the city board of trustees Mrs. w. H.
Anderson, acting for the women's clubs
of the beach, requested the board to
enforce the old ordinance requiring fire
works TO be discharged only on the
sand, and the police have been in
structed to see that the law is complied
with. The ordinance was adopted in
1904, but has never been enforced.
This action of the city board corre-
| spends with that of the Santa Monica
city council recently, when the police
of that city were instructed to enforce
the fireworks ordinance, following a
campaign made for a sane Fourth by
the women's clubs. The discharge OF
| firecrackers and rockets and other noisy
Independence day explosives will this
year be confined to the beach sand
from the Santa Monica canyon on the
north, south to the Ocean Park city
limits, so that those people seeking the
bay cities as a refuge will obtain it If
they go no nearer the water than the
concrete ocean front promenade.
