CITY BOUNDARY LINE IS
REFUGE Of AUCTIONEER
0utWitS Santa Monica Police
Who Try to Prevent
the Sale

OCEAN PARK, July 9.-George
Keller, an auctioneer, took advantage
of protection afforded him by the loca-
ton of the boundary line between
Santa Monica and Ocean Park and
thereby outwitted the police of the
neighboring city in carrying on his
business here. Standing at one end of
a room through which the line runs he
cried out his sales in Ocean Park
while his audience remained on the
north side of the line and bought his
goods in Santa Monica. An attempt
on the part of the Santa Monica police
to compel Keller to quit business or
take out q license in that city proved
fruitless, as Keller showed them to
their absolute satisfaction that he had
the law behind him.
The happy location of the municipal
line was a financial aid to Keller. The
license for auctioneers in Santa Mon
lea is $500 year. In this city it is $50
a year. Keller found vacant room
in the postoffice block on Marine
street. The front of the building is in
Santa Monica. The rear is in Ocean
Park. How much of the room is in
each city was ascertained by the auc-
tioneer, who employed a surveyor to
mark the exact line on the floor. This
chalk line, inadvertently of course, was
covered by a rug. 1t is eleven feet
from the rear of the building.
The sale was announced, a crowd
came and listened curiously to Keller
shouting his wares and bids III Ocean
Park.
1.-TWO bits am offered. Who'll make
it so cents? Once, twice, three times
and sold to the lady in white" said
Keller, and just ut this moment Ser
geant Fred Calllins of the Santa Mon
lea police strobe in and over to the
end of the room where Keller was
standing. He asked to see the latter's
license and it was exhibited, but the
sergeant pronounced 1t invalid. He
told Keller to take out another license
in Santa Monica or close up his sale.
Are you an officer of this city,"
asked Keller
Eyes, 1 am sergeant Of police" re-
piled Calkins.
Then Keller escorted Calkins to the
dead line" and informed the officer
that he was on the wrong side of the
fence and that the auction was not
conducted in Santa Monica.
IT have half a notion to have you
arrested for impersonating an officer
of Ocean Park" was Keelers parting
shot as Calkins left the room amid the
laughter of the audience.

POLICE INVESTIGATE
A MYSTERIOUS FIFE
Circumstances Connected with
Apartment House Blaze
Cause Inquiry

OCEAN PARK, July 9.-Mysterious
features in connection with fire that
occurred in the Drexel apartments
have caused the police to begin an in
vestigation in the hope of ascertaining
the origin of the fire. Although 1t was
claimed by Mrs. Mary Fee, the land
lady, that the room had been unoc--
cupied since July 5, the blaze started
in a bed and was well under way be-
fore it was discovered by passing
policeman. The firemen were compelled
to force an entrance to the room, as
the door was locked and the key re-
moved. A key that fitted the lock
was later found on q porch by the
police.
This is the second fire that has oc-
Cured at this house possessing sus-
picious features. A bundle of news
papers was found burning beneath an
outside stairway and the fire was dis
covered barely in time to prevent the
building from igniting. In both cases
the tenants declared, they knew moth
ing of the origin of the blaze.

GIRL, IS, ACCUSEDFORGER;
PARENTSLEFT PENNILESS
Police BaffIed by Statements OF
Kate Preston AcCompIiCeS
Are Suspected

SAN BERNARDINO, July 9.-In little
Miss Kate Preston, who is held at the
Detention home charged with forger-
les and embezzlement of sums said to
total 5000, the local Juvenile authorities
are facing the most startling case of
youthful wrongdoing of that nature
that has ever come to light In this
city.
The girl is a child of 10 years and is
still in short dresses. She is the daugh-
ter of we'll known family residing
at Urbita, on the outskirts of San
Bernardino.
That the child has been the victim
of other girls of more mature years
and possibly youths Is the belief of the
local officers. The girl steadily main
tains her attitude of refusal to divulge
information that would implicate her
playmates. She has completely baf-
fled the officers at the Detention home,
although partial confession of her
own connection with the thefts has
been secured, in which she says that
she took about $120.
She drained the bank accounts OF
both her father and mother before she
was discovered. An hour before her
apprehension by her father she had
drawn the last $25 from the account
OF IeT INQUIRER az q 90 mss o -
with the exception of a few cheap
trinkets there was nothing to show
what had become of the money.
Preston was notified by telephone
by the San Bernardino National bank
that his account was overdrawn. He
had been mailed notices twice and
from his failure to get them the sus-
picion is aroused that the girl inter-
cepted the letters.
He told the cashier that he would
draw on his wife's account at the saw
ings bank to make good the unpaid
checks. He was told at the latter in
stitution that his daughter had an
hour before drawn the last dollar when
she cashed a check for SIS.
1t is said that she not only forged
the names of her parents, but short
ened deposits which she made for
them, changing the figures in the book.

The dog muzzling ordinance has been
suspended in Redlands on instructions

that it was not generally enforced and
was working a hardship on few own
ers who muzzled or kept confined their
dogs, while hundreds were permitted to
run the streets unmuzzled.

NuDTBER OF CUSTOMERS

1t is estimated that one-third of the
physicians in the city are patronizing
the municipal plant and the report
continues:
"While over one-half the residents
of the city have aligned themselves
with the city plant, less than 80 per
cent of the business and professional
men are giving it their patronage.
THUNFs RESOLUTION
A resolution presented by William
Thum was adopted unanimously. 1t
read, in part, as follows:
whereas, it is believed that the va
rious organizations, clubs and societies
of the city, formed and existing for the
interests of the community and the up
lifting and betterment of the individ-
ual members therein, should lead IN
an open and active support OF the
plant; therefore, be 1t
"Resolved, that the board Of trade,
Civic association, Merchants associa-
ton, realty board, the churches and
the church clubs and societies, secret
and benevolent societies and organiza-
tions and e various school societies,
clubs and organizations of the city. are
urged and called upon to give their
open and active support to the munic-
ipal lighting plant"
Here the resolution instructs the
secretary to mail copies to the organ
sizations mentioned and, continuing, it
says:
"Be 1t further resolved. that the
merchants, business men and all other
users of electricity in the city be called
upon and requested to lend their sup
port to the municipal light plant by
Immediately giving it their patronage
and support
Speakers of the evening laid special
stress upon the inheritance of women
becoming interested in the campaign
The business men who are not sup
porting the municipal plant are scored
in no uncertain terms by some of the
speakers, who declared that if the mer-
chants want the people to trade at
home they should patronize their home
electric light plant.

SAVINGS OF LIFETIME
AND HOME LOST IN FIRE
Family Sent Money to Bank, but
1t Had Closed for
the Day

REDLANDS, July 9.-In a fire which
destroyed their home in Tribune street
list night, also a small unoccupied
cottage that belonged to them and was
on an adjoining lot, Mr.. and Mrs.
Adolph Uzes lost their savings of years,
$500 in gold and silver, also some
jewerly, all of which was hidden with
some clothing in a wardrobe. Last
night the ruins of the house were
searched and small portion of the
jewelry and gold melted was recov-
cred.
A peculiar feature is that the couple
decided in the afternoon to place their
savings in a bank and sent their son
to the bank, but he arrived after it
had closed for the day and had to
carry the money back home, where 1t
was hidden and then destroyed. In ad-
dition, all of the furniture of the house,
all of their clothing were burned, the
loss being about $500. The origin OF
the fire is a mystery. Two women
driving past in an auto discovered it
and gave the alarm. Mrs. Uzes was
at home with her infant child, but the
father and son were away. The fire
department was unable to save the
structure because of poor water pres
sure, but saved a house adjoining by
keeping it soaked with water from a
bucket brigade.

lust what constitutes success and
what failure, is difficult to determine
so far as particular happenings are
concerned. No fixed standard therefor
prevails among mortals; no exact
classification can be made for either
success or failure. Many people De-
lieve that if they get what they want
good or ill, they are succeeding. Others
see beneath the surface enough TO
discern some form of success In spite
of outward failure-through lesson
learned, a pitfall detected, a moral
point gaiGed. Between these extremes
of person. selishness and ethical in
sight lieS world of mixed beliefs
upon the subject, each mortal deciding
for himself, according to his training
his habits, associations and IDEALS
what may be for him success or fall
ure. And in the course of experience
this individual point of view becomes
so freqnently blurred or warped that
it is really no light task to distin-
guish between the two. Failure may
in the end compel success; gaining a
desired end may involve unforeseen
disaster. And so mortals are after all
somewhat helpless to determine Tor
themselves what may or may not
mean failure. and their endeaVors to
classify experience are largely subject
to ignorance and confusion concerning
what is really and finally right for
them.
mo OTHER GOD"
One unchanging standard for success
has been given to the world in Christ
Jesus admonition, BE we therefore
perfect, even as your Father which Is
in heaven is perfect" The way to sue
coed in being perfect was announced by
Moses centuries before in Gods com
mand, Thou shalt have no other gods
before me-" And the footsteps to be
taken along this way to perfection are
defined with eXactness centuries later
when Mrs Eddy writes upon page 467
of her book, Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures: Therefore the
command means this: Thou shalt have
no intelligence, no life, no substance, no
truth, no love, but that which is spirit
ual" To succeed in doing what God
would have you do; to be what God
would have you be; to move toward
this ultimate perfection in Gods way;
this constitutes success, according to
the teaching Of the Master-Christian
Since the days which saw the book of
Exodus written, down to the present
hour, aspiring thought has reached to-
ward this goal. And now Christian
Science shows with such complete
analysis what 1t means to discard all
belief in an intelligence, a life, sub
stance, a truth and a love other than
the spiritual, and thereby to have but
one God, that great hope of a growing
success in right thinking and right do
ing is snimating its students and en-
couraging them to renewed trying each
day.
"THE ONLY MIND"
If your one idea about success is that
righteousness only really succeeds, you
are growing out Of failure and nothing
but your own compromise with lesser
standards can check your growth.
Christian Science makes it clear that
God, the one infinite everywhere pres
ent intelligence, Is the only Mind that

tended the open meeting Of the Munic-

Der of speakers dwelt upon the light
war in all it's phases, but the sensa-
ton of the evening was sprung when
Secretary Torrev Everett submitted his
report. which said, in part
ION June IA. 1910. the movement was
started to place the municipal plant
upon such a basis as to insure the
permanency of a cent rate. At that
time the city had 2125 customers.
Since then 1895 new customers have
been signed. OF these 442 contained
directions for immediate connection.
There are in round figures 5000 cleo
tricity users in Pasadena. With old
customers and new contracts awaiting
connection the city has over half of the
business.
"The northern section of the city is
generally according the plant excellent
support With the exception of the
extreme eastern section, the same is
true of the district lying east of Fair
Oaks avenue and north of Colorado
street. In the remaining portion of
the city the support has not been so
encouraging. The least support has
been found in the southwest part of
the city"
