STATE TREASURER AL
LEN ARRESTED
Charged With LOOting State
Funds of Approximately
$4,000

State Treasurer o. V. Allen was
last night placed under arrest on the
charge Of embezling S70,35469 from
the state treasury. The complaint
was signed by Governor Haines. Pro
ceedings will be commenced against
Fred NJ. Coleman, a former deputy
in the treasurer's office, who is said
to be in Seattle now. Aliens bond
was fixed at $4,000.
The specific charge is the embezzle-
ment of $7O,354.68, but it is possible
the complete audit, which will require
some little time yet, may disclose a
larger amount, probably reaching, it
is stated, 100000.
The executive committee of the
Republican state committee held a
meeting late last night and repudiated
Mr.. Allen as a candidate for treasur-
er and sent word through the various
county organizations to all Republi-
cans not to vote for him. His name
will have to appear on the ticket,
however, as no way is known under
the law to remove it.
The Statesman has it from relia-
ble authority that check exiting" and
the use of worthless checks have been
used to cover up shortages in the
treasurer's office, according to the
of the experts working on
the books. They are understood to
have unearthed one undated personal
check of Mr.. Allen, in favor of 'cash"
for over $4,000, which is said to have
been carried as cash to offset the
claimed shortage to that extent. An
other check for $4,000, also undated,
and made in favor of "cash'' and SINH
Iarlv carried. and for a similar Pur-
pose, as alleged, is signed by Fred NJ.
Coleman, being his personal check.
Coleman was formerly Ce )uty in the
Office and it is understood he is to be
proceeded against.
These towering" cha"&s would IN
dicate a shortage of around S9O'OOo.
Assistant Attorney General Guheen,
the attorney generals 5
oAice, was in consultation last night
with the governor and others on the
Allen case. "The attorney general 5
Office Will cooperate earnestly with
County Attorney Givens in the prose
cution of this case" said Mr.. Guheen.

George J. Shook of New Plymouth
was in town Tuesday, leased the
Whelchel building on Washington
street and will open photograph
STUDIO. He expects to be ready for
business the first of next month.
The interior of the building viii be
fitted up in the most approved man

Snook's home before going to New
Plymouth was Cleveland, Ohio, where
he was one of the leading photograph

WILL SAND MAIN STREET
Agreement of Property Owners Be-
ing Generally Signed.

Not dissenting voice has beer
raised against the proposition to sano
Main street, and none Of the resident
property owners has refused to sign
the agreement to pay his pro rata OF
the expense. The necessity for the
Improvement of this business thor
oughfare is the reason.
The city council has found that 1t
will take too long to pass the legal
notices which would compel property
owners to bear their share Of the
expense. and the cost of such action,
it is estimated, would largely increase
the expense. To avoid this expense
and also. to have the work done be-
fore the rainy season sets IN, the
council decided to present an agree
ment to each property owner. The
resident owners have all signed up.
Copies of the agreement have been
sent TO non-residents and out Of town
people. If prompt and favorable re-
plies are received from them, the
work should start early next month.
If these parties do not sign, the coun-
ell will allow the matter to run the
gauntlet as by the statutes provided
which will largely increase the eN-
p.nse. The cost will be IN the pro-
norton of about $500 per 25-foot
front.

CHILD RESCUES DROWN.
ING Playmate
Prompt Action of a 7-Year-Old
Girl Saves Child's
Live

The presence of mind and prompt
action of little Naoma Bliss, the z
year-old daughter of Mrs, Ida Bliss,
undoubtedly saved 3-year-old Hugh
Nicol from death by drowning in the
irrigation ditch that runs in front of
the J. w. Cook residence on Fourth
street
Hugh Nicol lives across the street
from the Cook residence. He was on
his way to play with the little Bliss
girl and had to cross the ditch. The
water, which was two feet deep and
six feet wide, was covered with leaves
and he, thinking it was solid ground,
stepped in and went under. Other
children were playing there at the
time and all ran screaming for help,
except Navma Bliss, who after fail
ing in her endeavors to attract her
Grandfather Cooks attention, herself
jumped into the water and rescued
the drowning child.
Her quick wit and bravery undoubt-
edly saved the little fellows life.

Just beyond Valley Falls they
camped for the night in the timber
and everything froze up. At Lake
view, Lake county, they stopped for
supplies and that day passed through
an Indian reservation. 1t was Sun
day and all Of the Indians were out
on dress parade. Bread was 10 cents
= loaf, gasoline rs cents a gallon. On
the way they saw a bunch of ante
lope, each one seeing one.
At Klamath Falls they reached an
other railroad, in the Cascade noun
tains, the first out from Vale. From
there they travelled over Topsy Pitch
and came to Klamath Springs, which
is a great summer resort. Hot and
cold water is used for medicinal pur-
poses.
They struck the state highway at
Montague and near there Harvey no.
ticed this sign: "No guns allowed to
be carried in tent, camp, vehicle or
on your person." He asked the boys
to come and read the sign. The pun
ishment was Imprisonment. They at
once took the gun and put it under
the seat. On the way they met 25
tramps. One day as they were pre-
pairing dinner, two tramps walked out
of the timber and asked for some
thing to eat. Their request was
granted. The next day, as they were
passing through town so miles be-
yond, one of the tramps was sitting
on the depot platform and tipped his
hat to them. He had won out over
the Ford by stealing a ride on the
train. When Glenn saw them coming
he picked up a couple of stones to
defend himself.
Sisson is located at the foot of Mt
Shasta. Not far distant is Shasta
Springs, a beautiful place. Many
tourists 90 there. A cable car car
ries the passengers and baggage from
the depot 500 or 900 feet above to the
hotel. Near here occurred their first
and only puncture, an inner tube.
In western Oregon they met auto
trucks and four-horse teams loaded
with booze. They met three tramps
when they crossed the state line into
California and Mrs. DeClark said to
Glenn, "Get your gun"
At Seeding they sent a postal to
notifying interested par
ties to get ready for their coming by
killing the fatted calf. But the mis-
tress of the house failed to make the
proper preparations for lack of time.
Here they saw for the first time
orange and palm trees. Red Bluff
was another pretty place through
which they passed They caIped in
a vacant house at Abbot Rivers the
last night and at Middletown, 40 miles
from Healdsburg, they learned for
the first time that they could reach
there that day.
Near Mt. st. Helena they passed
over a toll road 10 miles in length.
After they had passed through Culis-
,oga and had started up steep hill, |
a fellow coming down in a Ford was
yuying two parties with autos who
we're stuck. To Harvey he said "You
,an get there, for you have a Ford"
They met another party journeying
n a Ford from Los Angeles to Sc
attle. Three saIutes with the horn
