Tells Danger of
Christmas Candles

A wagon load of Christmas trees
went up the street the other day
as Mr. A. w. Hawkinson, local
agent of the Hartford Fire In
surance Company, was talking
with member of the CALIFORNIAN
Record staff.

son, nodding toward the ever

trees will be indirectly responsible
for fine in somebody's house be-
fore the holiday season is over"
"How 500" asked the newspaper
man.
"Well, there are still some peo-
pie who decorate their trees with
tinSel and cotton and then use
candles to light them. The combi-
nation is bad one and has caused
the loss of many lives andm UGH
valuable properly.
you may remember that Mrs.
Harding was going to adorn the
White House windows with light
ed candles last Christmas Eve. A
representative of the Underwriters
Laboratories, an organization
which devotes its energies to pre-
venting fires, telegraphed to the
President and asked him not to do
so because his example would be
widely followed and would turn
Christmas Day into a day of
mourning in many homes.
"The candles did not appear. l
sincerely hope tat the people of
this section will light their trees
by electricity this year. A tree
lighted by bulbs of different colors
Is just as pretty as one lighted
with candles and it isn't danger

Embezzle1nent

Omaha, Neb., March 60. w
Matthers, former president Of the
now defunct Pioneer State Bank
Of Omaha, was sentenced to serve
from / to 10 years in state prison
today by District Judge eslie, be-
fore whom he recently pleaded
guilty to a charge Of embezzle-
ment of 100000 of the bank S
funds.
Matthews was indicted on three
counts, charging embezzlement of
100000 by a special grand jury
that investigated stock and other
financial transactions. When ar
raigned FebruaiS 20 he pleaded
guilty on one count alleging he
embezzled 100000 and the state
dropped the other charges.
The alleged offense which Mr..
Matthews termed as zone OF the
head and not Of the heart" re-
suited from the purchase by the
Guaranty Securities company of
Omaha Of bonds of the Colonial
Timber G. Coal corporation, which
were security for loans by the
bank to the securities concern.
Mr.. Matthews maintains that
land of the timber concern in
West Virginia which secures the
bonds, is valuable and that in time
may prove of sufficient value to
redeem bonds held by the securi-
ties company, now defunct, and
provide means of clearing up the
loss occasioned by the failure of
the bank.
The timber concern is incorpor-
ated in Delaware.
