LOS ANGELES, June ls.-As the
climax of an investigation of a short
age of $4,000 in the dining car de-
partment of the Salt Lake railroad, a
warrant for the arrest of Charles E.

officially charged with nisdemeanor en-

suit of the investigation which has
been going on for several weeks.
Officials are now beginning their eff
forts toward tracing, if possible, other
sources from which sprung the big
drain on the dining car accounts.
II, i. Belts, auditor of the Salt Lake
road for some months has been trying
system to block thefts by dining car
employees but it proved cumbersome.
General Manager Wells instituted a
slip system. This was used as an or

green, red, white and black. The
paper was so made that it was consid

upon. Each slip bore certain check
