The automobiles have been having a
glorious time speeding around the city
and enjoying many privileges which
are not in keeping with the strict letter
of the law. There are some, however,
who have been trying to go even fur
Their than this, and it is those who have
caused the Police Department to get up
and do something.
c. E. Mathewson, of the Diamond
Rubber Company, in discussing the au-
tomobile outlook for the coming sea-
son said yesterday: ITO my mind Cali
fornia will enjoy the greatest advance
ment in the automobile line that it has
had since 1t became a State One
might think that / was figuring on the
history of the State since the time it
was admitted into the Union, but to us
here at home especially we of San
Francisco. everything at the present
time dates from the time of the fire.
Since April Is our orders have increas-
ed fully IS per cent. A certain amount
can be charged to good hustling on
the part of our statesmen, but / think
that the best of it comes from those
who are ordering new vehicles of the
1907 model. There is no doubt that
there will be fully 1000 new automo-
biles sold by the first of the spring
weather. This not a limitation to the
number of purchasers, but a limit to
the number OF cars that can be deliv-
cred by the manufacturers by that
time. There is one thing that is i'm
portant to us and at the same time
important to the automobiles. 1t has
been claimed that the cause of the de-
feat of the american cars was due to
the American tires This would lead
one TO believe that 1T was the fault of
a
the race 1t was raining and the Dia-
mond tires were taken off and those
of the non-skid make substituted The
blame came to our tires when it should
have rested on the shoulders of the
other makes"

RAILROAD IS GUILTY
Of REBATING

NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-THE New York
Central and Hudson River Railroad
Company was convicted In the United
states Circuit Court Thursday of
granting a rebate of $4,000 to the
American Sugar Refining Company,
and the trial of the latter company for
having accepted that sum rebates
will begin tomorrow in the same court.
The jury was out about two hours.
Immediately upon the announcement of
the verdict of guilty" counsel for the
defendant company moved TO set aside
the verdict. Judge Holt promptly de-
MED the motion.
When court met Joseph Choate,
counsel for the defendant company.
moved TO dismiss the Indictment and
upon the denial of the motion by Judge
Holt entered upon long argument for
the defense. He maintained that con-
tracts made by the defendant under
the old interstate commerce law grant
ing lower rates than the regular sched-
ule and carried out subsequent to the
passage Of the Elkins act did not con-
stitute a violation of that act; that the
practice Of rebating or granting lower
rates was not looked upon as a criminal
offense. At that time, he argued, there
were many powerful corporations
more skillful in evading the existing
interstate law than the carriers them
selves
In denying the motion, Judge Holt
said he thought the Elkins act suffi-
GENTLY binding upon the accused and
that there was sufficient evidence to
send the case to the jury
Judge Holt fixed November 90 as the
date for argument on a motion to ar
rest judgment.

The Police Department of the city
is having merry time with the auto
mobilists. For the last week the police
have been hauling up those VINO have
been exceeding the speed limit. The
excuses that have been given would
make splendid ground work for comic
opera. Some motorists have been will
ing TO acknowledge that they were
speeding to the limit of their machines,
while others would have the police au-
thorities believe that they were not
travelling as fast as a man could walk.
Most of the arrests have been made
out in the neighborhood of the park,
where Captain Gleason holds sway. The
captain likes the automobile and it is
his ideal pleasure vehicle; but when
an automobilist is brought before him
for breaking the law. the only thin e
the captain knows about an auto is the
rate at which it is allowed to travel
The scenes in the station are anus
ing, until the captain tells the arrested
ones, You will have to go over to the
O'Farrell-street station and put up your
bail" 1t is not joke then for tHe auto
mobilist. who has a serious session in
the Police Court the next morning.
Some get off with a warning, while 9TH
ers have to put up little coin for the
benefit of the city government

Police Are After the Automobile Owners Autong
ATHLETES FALL IN
LINE FOR THE
CINDER PATH

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Nov. IL
With the close of the football season
the attention of the athletes of stan
ford University has been turned to the
cinder path. The interclass meet, which
terminates the fall training, will be
held next Saturday on the old track.
The new oval is completed with the
exception of the final course of cinders,
but will hardly be ready for use for the
meet
The prospects of the cardinal on the
track next spring are unusually bright.
The track meet, which was prevented
last year by the closing of the two uni
versities, would have been one Of the
closest on record. and its failure left
the undergraduates of both institutions
specializing as TO the relative merits of
the teams. At Stanford the team will
be practically unhurt by graduation, as
but a few seniors were included in its
personnel. At Berkeley the condition
of affairs is different. Such men as
Snedigar have been lost to the blue
and gold.
Besides its old men, Stanford has a
host Of freshman talent Bellah, the
crack pole vaulter from Hanford, has
entered Stanford and is vaulting we'll
Crowley. another youth from the south,
is also clever at the big jump. Crowley
comes from the Throop School of Pasa-
dena. where he is reputed to be able to
clear the bar at II feet Bellah is good
for II feet and a few inches.
In the hurdles Stanford has a prize.
e @. Hickey. from MERGED. is clearing
the bars IN record style without any
with his new hurdler. who will be
obliged TO step into the shoes of H. L.
Horton. the big hurdler who has not
returned 70 college
In the high jump the cardinal has
new talent. Stanford. was especially
weak IN this event last spring and had
conceded Berkeley all three places.
With Martin, a prep from San Fran
cisco. who took his diploma from the
St. Mathews School it is hoped the re-
suit viii be different this year.
Stanford VIII be strong in the sprints.

L. NJ Edwards OF. W. NJ. Rawles 09
and J. r. Holman %. Cope is not in
attendance at present, but will be eli
gible TO compete next semester, when
he will register
In the middle distances Stanford
looks for many points. The relay men
will also be a stronghold of the car
dinal.
Trainer Moulten ara Track Captain
J. c. Macfariand OF have decided not to
enter a full team in the Olympic meet,
which will be held in the new stadium
at Golden Gate Park. san Francisco,
Thanksgiving day. The cardinal will
probably be represented by a relay
team of crack quarter milers. Dad
Moulton is everse to entering his men
IL the meet unless they are in pretty
good shape. and does not believe the
men have had enough fall training to
warrant the enterIag of individuals.
The Stanford men sill be in better
form for the interclass meet this year
than formerly. as the Rugby season
has placed a large number of track
men in condition.

Homer Boushey and Dick Hovey. the
heads of the Hovey- Boushey Company
were planning a run to lower the rec
ord between San Francisco and Los
Angeles, but since there has been so
much opposition to these runs they
have given UP the idea. In speaking Of
these runs Hovey said yesterday: I'VE
were thinking of taking try at the
southern runs. but since it has been
proven that 1t is against the law we
have given up the idea. 1t now looks
as if we would have to take to track

tracks that might be used for this pur-
pose, Tanforan and Ingleside. 1t would

Roy Trop of Victoria, B. c., is in
the city. He is interested in automo-
biles and has many things to say in
favor of the American machine. At
the present time the duty on foreign
makes of machines brought into Brit
ish Columbia is at a rate that brings
them about on a level with those of
the American vehicle. With this even
break the American cars command the
prestige and more of them are sold
than the foreign makes. During last
season there were seven Wintons sold
in Victoria.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah. Nov IL
II Utah man dies after disposing of
his estate without the consent of his
wife her remedy is not to sue the ex-
ecutor for her share of the purchase
price, but TO bring action TO recover
her dover right in the property. Such
is the decision handed down today in
the Utah Supreme Court in the case of
Annie Park Hilton VS.. S. w. Stewart,
executor.
II is said TO be the first decision on
this knotty point. Mrs. Hilton was
united by the Mormon rite of sealing
to Dr. John r. Park when she was be-
lieved TO be dying. as a girl. After her
recovery she married Hilton and the
celestial marriage" was ignored until
after Parks death, when her suit for
a widows interest in his estate brought
a decision from the Supreme Court
that the sealing" was a valid mar
riage.

of motormen or conductors. The cars were crowded from early in the morn ing and from eleven until three the cars were damned. Not one went to the fair grounds which could have af- forded room to another passenger.
 If a car passed by a waiting crowd on a street corner in disregard of a sig nal to stop, it was because the con- ductOr kenw it would be useless. Now and then a car would stop and the crowd could see no reason why it had done so; there was apparently no room on it. But the conductor would point out that there was six inches of un- occupied space on the running board and say Here is room for one more to hand on to this post" A car was not officially regarded as full as long as any of the woodwork except the top was visible to the naked eye.
 So strenuous was the day that not conductor or motorman. including Su- perintendent Mitchell, who acted as motorman, could stop for dinner. Their supper, if they got any, came late.

 ASKED TRANSPORTATION
The Carrying Systems of PhoenIx Were Never Before so Heavily Taxed.

The streets of Phoenix were never before so jammed with people who wanted to go somewhere as they were yesterday. About 1 o'clock in the af- ternoon a street car filled itself at ev- cry crossing and seemed to make no impression worth mentioning on the crowd. It was not until after o'clock that there appeared to be perceptible clearing up of the throng. The street cars were assisted in the work by num- berless busses, cabs and other vehicles beside automobiles and private con- veyances.
 \ group of waiting visitors stood on a street corner cursing the street car system because there was no room on a passing car. It was forgotten that the company could not afford to keep a complement of cars for such a season which comes only once a year and lasts only six days.
 The crowd was handled very well. Every man who could be Spared by either the street car company or the water company was added to the force

 EXHIBITION A SUCCESS
Promoters Avoid Contention, and, With Ample Funds are Making Rapid Pro- gross.

Dublin. November 15.-Great enthu- siasm has been aroused in Ireland by the support which is being given to the International Exhibition of 1907. Not only are Irishmen of all classes united to make it a success, but foreign coun- tries are also sending exhibits to help in celebrating the great industrial re- vival which the exposition represents. Speaking of the progress of the under taking. MT. James Shanks, the chief executive officer. says:
 "The exhibition is supported by man. ufacturers. merchants and traders all over the coutry. IL has a sound fin ancial basis. with a guarantee fund of SS00.00 signed by nearly 1000 sub scribers. and on that security the Bank .of Ireland has agreed tO advance funds amply sufficient for the purposes of the exhibition. No previous exhibition in Ireland had so much money behind it, and nothing of equal extent was ever projected in this country. Nearly 75. per cent of the guarantee fund has been subscribed in Ireland, over 60 per cent of the entire space area available has been applied for by Irish manufacturers and merchants. and several of the ex-  hibition buildings are already practice ally completed.
 When so many prominent Irish manufacturers and merchants of all creeds and politics have shown their willingness to undertake this arduous public service and when they have act ed throughout, on the mandate imposed upon them by the great meeting at which the exhibition was launched. it is their manifest duty to carry to com pletion on the original lines this great project of purely commercial and in- dustrial importance. If there are any who are in favor of an exclusiely Ma tionaf exhibition. they are quite free to pursue that object
