Membership of New Institution ls
Growing DaIly--Garbutt Handhall
Cup Will Be Contested for
In Near Future

Owing to the San Francisco disaster
the date for the formal opening Of the
Los Angeles Athletic club has been
postponed from next Friday to q date
yet to be fixed, but tentatively decided
upon for the early future.
A smoker, with a varied social and
athletic program is contemplated, and
handball games, boxing matches, wrest-
ling bouts in which the clubs most pro-
flcient amateur artists will appear, will
serve to pass away the evening.
The membership now stands at the
limit originally imposed and is growing
steadily. Physical Director Tom Nc
Mahon is forming classes for gymnaStic
work, and is putting in considerable
time with members who desire to learn
to box or wrestle. Both are in Me-
Mahon's line, and he does them well.
The Garbutt handball cup will be con-
tensted for probably some time next
month. Players are in training for 1t
and every afternoon sees number of
hot matches played off in the courts,
both Of which are usually busy from 4

Fire of unknown origin was respon-

Paint and linseed oil were stored in
the basement where the fire started,
and it was with difficulty that the
blaze was extinguished. The main
stock was on the first floor and this
was not damaged appreciably, al
though hole was cut in the floor in
order that the chemicals could be
poured upon the burning oil.
The j. G. Garvey tea and coffee
wholesale house at 80 South Los An

L. W. Wolcott, manager of the local

EUROPE ADOPTS
AMERICAN IDEAS
FOREIGN AUTO MANUFACTURE.
ERS FOLLOW OUR LEAD
Various Improvements Made in Cars
Built in United States Are
Being Freely Used
Abroad

Apparently the long awaited turning
of the tide has come. The automobile
makers Of Europe have come face tc
face with the realization that to keer
abreast of the times they must now
come to America for pointers on i'm
provements.
In years past it has been candidly ad-
mitted by American manufacturers OF
motor cars that in their early days
they copied to some extent the work OF
the men of Europe.
There was excuse for this, but as
soon as the pioneers of the industry
on this side had grounded themselves
in the fundamental principles of con-
structlon the copying ceased.
The word was freely given that with
their characteristic perseverance, pro-
gressiveness and ability 1t would not
be long before the balance, now even
would swing around the other way
America would repay her debt by Civ
ing the foreigners ideas in fai return
for those they had received in the be-
ginning.
That this time has now come is ap-
parent. The latest evidence of this is
in the way of word just received from
Europe to the effect that in their 1907
IAOuSlS dI lSdsI I'LL &C LOlGl6ll
turers have decided to adopt the three
disc metallic clutch now In use on the
Thomas Flyer.
Early in the year word was sent to
the E. r. Thomas Motor company that
one Of the foreign manufacturers had
adopted the triple-disc clutch and the
query was made whether the company
wished to take any action in the mat
ter. 1t decided it would not although
even the yielding cushions in the man
ganeze bronze, or driving disc, had
been copied.
OF the foreign manufacturers now
ready to adopt this clutch system two
are French and one an italian. Two
OF them are now using the leather
faced cone clutch, and one has beer
heretofore an exponent of the multiple
disc type.
1t is very probable that close in
spection of the first models of the new
foreign cars received this coming fal
and winter will show a number of other
things copied from the more -to-date
American makes.

time, to perform his share in the work
of assistance.
Interest naturally centers around the
man who may face JeffrieS, even for a
sparring match, and Tommy Burns VIII
in all likelihood be the ex-champion's
opponent. It will virtually be a spec
tacle of two champions possessing q
right to lay claim on the same title
mixing it with each other. No one for
a moment disputes what would hap
pen should Jeffries decide to take on
any of the numerous aspirants for
heavyweight honors who are now quar-
reling with one another as to which is
the better or worse, as the case may
be.
On the other hand, Burns has never
laid claim to an ability to best Jeffrles.
Nevertheless he is entitled to the po-
sition OF active heavyweight champion
of the world.
AttelI Loses Homo
Able Attell. the featherweight cham
poin who will also appear, Is not the
most cheerful of 1nortals these days ana
there is good reason. A few days ago
Abe was Interested with his brothers in
several comfortable business ventures
at San Francisco. The Attell pawn
shops did a. thriving business and Abe
waxed rich.
The Attell boys had made their
mother comfortable in the northern
home and all went well until last
Wednesday. The mother is somewhere
in the stricken city, perhaps. The
pawn shops are gone. Able Is making
no complaint, however, and says.
Maybe it'll be all right"
At any event the little feather Will
meet some Of the others, and there Is
probably not one of them who VIII pc
able to give prettier exhibition of
science than the champion.
Kid Herman and Aurelio Herrera are
the remaining two that will contribute
to the benefit. Both are on the high
way which leads towards the cham
pionship, and their appearance Will

PLAN ORPHAN CELEBRATION
Thousands of Little Ones Will Be
Given Holiday by Auto
mobilists

The second orphans day celebration
in New York will take place on We'd
nesday, June 6. 1t will be in the hands
of the New York Motor club, as 1t
was last year. 1t is planned to secure
many more cars than last year, and
to take several thousand orphans to
a nearby park or summer resort for a
day, furnish them with luncheon and
entertainment and make their hearts
glad in every possible way.
The plan is a commendable one.
Offers of cars have already been made
in large numbers and the runs and
tours committee is now perfecting ar
rangements for the event. Since the
Inauguration of the idea year ago by
the New York Motor club the plan has
been followed in number of cities by
the local automobile organizations, and
it Is estimated that about 5000 father
less and motherless children have been
benefited by the outings.

Clubs Will Assist
Members of the Jonathan and Cali
fornia clubs have promised to dispose
of O. large number of tickets and to as
sist the committee in every way pos
sible.
:. Battling Nlson, the peer of light
weights, who is to act as one of the
principals in the coming entertainment,
left yesterday for San Francisco but
will return Monday. The little fellow
has gained an unusual hold upon the
Les Angeles public by reason of the
manner in which he responded to the
calls for assistance when the first
thrilling news of the disaster reached
the city.
Not content with breaking the world S
record at selling newspapers on the
day following the catastrophe, the bat
tier wrote check for one thousand dol
lars to be placed at the disposal Of the
relief committee.
His departure for San Francisco yes
sterday was occasioned by the fact that
the mother and sisters of his manager,
Billy Nolan, are i'll the fallen city and
have not been heard from. Nolan was
greatly worried and Nelson insisted
upon accompanying him.
The little battler has set his heart
upon participating in the benefit and
Will be on hand Monday TO learn OF
the arrangements that will have been
made concerning which man he will
shake hands with for the friendly bout.
Jim Jeffries sent word to Manager
McCary yesterday afternoon that he
would gladly do anything to assist in
the success Of the exhibition. The fact
that the retired champion is to appear
will in itself be distinctive feature
OF the affair and one that may be con-
sidered remarkable in, that the COM
bined efforts OF the greatest ring pro-
moters in the country will probably
never induce the brawny farmer to
enter the ring for boxing laurels or a
tempting purse.
"A few weeks ago Jeff was refusing
an offer of $12O,00O to meet several men,
any one of whom he might toy with at
will Tuesday evening next he will

MAKING CAPITAL OF
BRYAN'S SPEECH
EFFORTS OF NUMBER OF EASTERN
NEWSPAPERS TO DEPRECIATE
NEBRASKANS UTTERANCES In
LONDON CARRY NO WEIGHT.

WASHINGTON, D. G. July 10 tSpee-
ial.)-An attempt has been made in GER
tain quarters to make anti-Bryan capi-
tai out of Mr.. Bryan's speech in Lon.
don in which he seemed to reassert his
devotion to the principle of 10 to |. A
number of eastern newspapers which can
ses nothlrg 6ut disaster before the
democratic party with Bryan as its lead
er have seized upon this utteranee and
are making it the subject of depreciatory
editorials.
In view of this, an examination of
what Mfr. Bryan really said, and the
circumstances under which he said it, is
worth while. The speech was made at
a Fourth of July gathering of Americans
in London, and it followed talk BY
Ambassador Whitelaw Reid. Mr.. Reid,
as was very proper upon the occasion.
boasted of American progress and pros
perity. All through this speech there
ran an undertone in which he twitted
Mr.. Bryan because of the latter's pre-
diction that without the free coinage of
silver no permanent prosperity could
come. MFR. Bryan's answer was in
like spirit Of banter, and during the
course Of his remarks, he said: @When
/ see the progress my country has made
walking on one leg / wonder what it
would have done walking on two legs
Of course, he referred to the none
tary standards and had in mind that
the country might have made greater
progress with two standards instead of
one. But doesn't it seem a pretty small
peg upon which to hang a belief that,
were he again to lead the democracy,
Mr.. Bryan would, in the light of present |
conditions, advocate the free coinage of |
silver, as cardinal Democratic doc
trine?
If the anti-Bryanites of the East are
going to check the rising tide of Bryan |
sentiment they will have to get some
hing more substantial than this Lon
Ion speech with which to scare away the
gold democrats who are now disposed to
favor the Nebraskan.
