Moore is to face a charge of felony embezzlement and says he wants to plead guilty. He is accused of taking away four mules and a wagon belonging to Oscar Rosenbaum of San Juan Capistrano. The office in following down Moore after he left Santa Ana Tuesday morning found that Moore went from here up the Santa Ana can- von. He traded two of the mules to I. Peralta for a fine saddle horse ind $35.

Moore then went tot Prado and negotiated with Oscar Aldrich of Tie Prado store of a sale of the out- it. Aldrich said he want to buy, referred Moore to G. H. Bent. Moore offered the team tot Bent for $300.

Bent told him he would buy the outfit if Moore could get someone to identify him as the owner of the team. Moore left the mules and horse at place, and hired a boy to rake care of them. He went to San Bernardino, saying he would bring back someone to identify him. Yesterday afternoon Moore called up on the long-distance telephone and talked to Bent under an assumed name, saying lie knew Moore to he I the owner Bent still hesitated.

tlian a hundred are dead and "scores are missing, with hundreds homeless as a result of one of the most terrible storms ever experienced in sweeping the Vesuvian district today. Nearly every building in the storm- swept district was wrecked by a cyclone after which blinding torrents of rain completed the general devastation One hundred bodies have been re- i covered but it is believed the casualties will greatly exceed this number. No attempt has been made to estimate the property ioss which runs well into the millions. EARLY REPORT OF DISASTER DID NOT COVER ITS EXTENT NAPLES, Sept. -Many persons have been killed, and the property damage is enormous in the storm that Hooded this section of Italy today.

Sixty corpses have already been recovered. and it is feared that the casualties will be much larger. Warning of the storm was given early in the day by a high wind and the darkening of the sky. and the inhabitants made frantic efforts to escape the fury of the impending clone, but the storm broke finding them unprotected. Those seeking safety in their homes were crushed in the buildings, while those trusting to the open air were struck down by flying missiles.

The cyclone swept away dwellings, blew off roofs, and steeples off the churches. As soon as the wind abated, the rain fell in torrents. flooding the entire district. Many people were drowned and the loss of cattle is inestimable. The rainfall was unprecedented both in violence and in volume.

Reports from outlying districts are meager, all the wires being down and travel out of the question, but all point to great loss of life and property. The storm was worst near Vesuvius, the towns of Torre le, Greco and Ressina being the chief sufferers. Every hour brings fresh news of death and disaster. Improvised hospitals are being established but there is a dearth of doctors and nurses for the sufferers, while frantic mothers, wives and children, searching for relatives from whom they have been separated, add to the horror of the scenes.

Johnson last night presented to the people of Santa Ana his plea for the passage of the amendments, with especial reference to the initiative and referendum and recall. Railroad Commissioner John M.

Eshleman in an earnest address gave a most satisfying argument why the three amendments relating to the railroad commission should be passed. The meeting was held in hall The hall was filled with people. It has been many a long day since it was crowded as it was last night. Late-comers had to stand up, and dur ing the early part of the meeting some of the women who were standing were ushered to the platform to occupy seats among the vice presi dents. Every movement of Gov.

He was es corted here from Los Angeles by a committee of citizens Banquet Served At 6 o'clock he was taken to the Armory parlors, where citizens from all over the county gathered to greet him. When the committee begar. making arrangements for the banquet to be served in honor of the Governor, it was planned to lay plates for thirty. Instead plates were laid for eighty.

After the informal reception to Gov. Johnson and Railroad Commissioner John M. Eshleman of Imperial, who accompanied him, the banquet was served in the drill hall, by tho Dragon. The after-dinner ceremonies were short, but to the point. John Beatty for the committee on reception said; are here tonight to welcome the leader who has laken this state out of the hands of the machine.

Ho needs no introduction I present to you Gov. Hiram W. Johnson, the governor ho has made good, who has fulfilled his promises, the man who represents the In a few words Gov. Johnson expressed his appreciation of the greeting wish to express my pleasure and appreciation and said he, "for your cordiality. My mind goes back with much tenderness, as it often does, to that March in 1910 when the progressive movement was hardly begun in this state.

I arrived in Santa Ana dusty, tired and doubtful of the outcome of the movement. We had had no encouragement. We did aot know what was before us. You met us at the train, and your treatment of us sent us away with the hope of success. You cheered us on.

For that reason Santa Ana will ever hold a bright and grateful spot in my Escorted to Hall With the streets ablaze with red- rtre and the patriotic music of the Santa Ana Band filled the air, Gov.

People should use the same judgment in this matter as they would in their own business Dr. C. D. Ball was then introduced as chairman of the evening, and he introduced Railroad Commissioner Eshleman. Eshleman said.
