BEATEN BY FRANCE.
Comparison of the Tests of AutOmO o.
biIes Made in That Country
and in America.

A comparison of the time made in
the latest automobile tests in America
and France is interesting. NJ. Charron
made the distance from Paris to Bor-
deauN 1853 miles, in IL hours 40 min
utes 20 seconds. Mr.. Winton made the
distance from Cleveland to buffalo, 21s
miles, in II hours 10 minutes.
NJ. CharrUn on his BordeabX trips
at the above rate made 21S miles in
seven hours ii minutes, a difference of
seven hours, or nearly half the time of
the American. The rate of the French
automobile was 30 miles an hour, that
of the American little over Is miles.
OF course, the condition of the roads
had great deal to do with the differ
encc.

WHY
IS
IT2

That so many people do not know a
bargain when 1t is offered to them?
They think that If anything is offered
at less than regular prices or less than
they have been accustomed to paying
that is damaged or of poor quality. 1t
must be because the stores they patro-
nize have so educated them to believe
because those stores get higher prices.
They talk it to their customers that
good quality cannot be sold for any
less than they ask We. admit that
good goods are worth more than poor
quality of goods, but because the quail
ity is high it does not follow that good
high qualities of goods are not sold al
lower prices than usually prevail, and
many lots are offered at as low price
and some times lower than are asked
for the poorer qualities. This selling
of high qualities of goods for low
prices is the real definition of the word
bargain, at least that is the definition
we put on it, We try to educate the
trade to come to us FOR that kind of a
bargain, that is why we call it

A large number of members Of the Ep-
worth League met last evening at the
Howard-street Methodist Episcopal
Church TO interest themselves in the work
of securing the international convention
of that order for the city of San Fran

chairman.
There was a prolonged discussion on the
subject. owing 10 the fact that Los An

the convention, and it was stated by some
that they had received encouraging prom
ises of support from high sources. An
other fact which prevented the sentiment
of the meeting from being unanimous on
the subject was that the selection will be
made by the national body within three
months and little time is available.
Among those active in the discussion
were Rev. Mr.. Woodward, Rev. Mr.
Beard, Rolla V. Watt, c. B. Perkins, l.
J. Truman. Rev. Mr.. Filben, DR.. w. w.

ployed in favor of San Francisco.

Death Was Accidental.

The man supposed to be Rudolph How
ard. who was taken from an alley in Chi
natown Sunday with a. fractured skull,
died in the Harbor Hospital yesterday
morning The police are satisfied that
death was due to an accident and was not
the result of foul play. officer c. Peters,
who reported the case, said he saw the
man enter Bartlett alley very much under
the influence of liquor. He started up
stairs into house near the corner of
Pacific street and soon afterward plunged
back. head foremost into the street. his
head striking on a stone doorstep. There
was no sign of blood on the stairs as
would in all probability have been the
case had the man been struck with a
hammer while going up the stairs.

A DESPERATE
BATTLE WITH

of a Fisher Boy.

THE FIGHTING FISH DRIVEN
OFF WITH AN OAR.
The Boy Became Entangled in the
Line and Was Towed Long

Audley Harris, a 15-year-old lad, who
lives with his parents at PIG Clement ave
nue., Alameda, had a desperate battle
Yesterday with a stingaree while fishing
from a skiff near the Bay Farm Island
bridge.
Stingarees hover in great numbers near
the old oyster beds in San Leandro Bay,
but as a rule they have shown little fight
and have never been dreaded by the
Youthful fishermen who find lots OF sport
in the vicinity of the old bridge.

NEW PLAN TO GET SALARIES
EX-AUDITOR FREDERICK IS
ALSO INCLUDED.
Significant Meeting Held Yesterday
by a Committee-Present Suits
Are to. Be Dis
missed.

4 committee of schoolteachers met with
Treasurer Truman and Auditor Wells
yesterday morning and took such action
as will probably result in the institution
of suits against the members of the old
Board of Education and ex-AuditOr Brod-
erick for the recovery Of an aggregate
sum of 1912 80. This sum represents the
amount of Indebtedness incurred by the
old Board of Education over and above
the amount Of money available in the
school fund. OF this amount $4,000 is
s. due teachers for salaries and about S35, GOO
due merchants for supplies.
The meeting yesterday was held for the
purpose of discussing the situation and
ascertaining, so far as possible, the exact
status of the salary claims held by teach
ers so that their future acts may be in
telIgently directed. While no formal
action was taken, it was agreed that the
teachers will not accept the compromise
recently offered by the merchants, and
they will withdraw the suits now pending
against the city, dismiss their attorneys
ana either trust to the generosity OF the
public for some equitable adjustment of
their claims or join with the merchants
in suit against the old board and the
eX-AuditOr.
The total outstanding Indebtedness in
Cured by the old board is S2U,961. To
meet this demand there remains IN the
treasury but S35,670. Auditor Wells stated
that he would not audit any demands
decision Of the courts as TO how and TO
whom the money should be paid.
The announcement that the teachers
and the merchants viii combine in a suit
against the members of the old board and
ex-Auditor Broderick has caused great
CONSERVATION among those whom 1t is
proposed to hold responsible, for the
reason that if the suits can be made good
the defendants and their bondsmen will
he forced to pay almost a quarter Of q
million dollars. Each member of the old
board is under bonds in the sum of $4,000
and the ex-Auditor is under bonds in the
sum of $50, 900. The merchants have taken
the initiative in the matter and have en-
gagged firm of lawyers to collect the
necessary data and begin the suits They
have been advised that the acts of the
late board in mourning Indebtedness in
excess Of the money available in the
school fund were illegal and that the
board. as we'll as its individual members,
their bondsmen, the eX-Auditor and his
bOndsmen. can be held liable under the
law. # this view of the case is correct,
then retributiOn is at hand, and the old
board will be forced by the courts to dis
gorge. The action taken yesterday by the
teachers committee is significant Of their
intention 10 join with the merchants in
the contemplated suits.

MAIDEN CLASS.
Juva Handy Winner = Horton
Thrown In With Moderate Com
pany-Jinks Let the Tai

The racing at Oakland yesterday was
replete with surprises. Some hard-shelled
choices were entrusted into Starter Fer
gusons hands and possessed of little or

wire first. The winning horses were:
Juva, to |; Glengaber, TO 2; Bathos, 9

Highland Ball, 10 to l.
The track dried out wonderfully fast,
and is now in fair condition. Jones plotted
two of the winners.
Hugh Jones big sprinter, Mainstay, was
a red-hot favorite for the oopening five
furlong sprint, and could not raise a gal
lop. Juva, at odds of to /, led from the
jump, winning easily from Frohman.

Glengaber finally left the maiden class.

Thorpe in the saddle, had first call in the
