GARAGES NOW
BEING BUILT
METROPOLITAN AUTO HOUSES
MAGNIFICENT
New York Has No Monopoly Upon
Fine Garages Because Lack
of Space Interferes With
Slightly Structures

A Baltimore automobilist, who has re-
Gently been to New York, was talking
the other day about the large number of
fine public garages in that city.
He had been through great many of
them and he was impressed not alone
by their handsome exteriors, but by the
show and display that prevailed inside.
At one garage he said a liveried boy
took the visitors card and carried it
in to the manager, who. If he judged
the name worthy of attention, sent a
special employe to show the caller
around the building.
These and other things equally redo
lent of red tape he found. His rap
lures over the beauties which came
within his vision were very profound.
Nevertheless, there are a great many
wise people who do not believe that the
ideal garage is found in New York. In
the first place, scarcity of space neces-
States four or five floors and there is
consequent need of elevators. On one
floor is the show room, on another the
storeroom on still another the repair
shop and so forth, down the list. The
disadvantages of this sort of building
are certainly obvious.
Kingdom Gould, the eldest son of
George Jay Gould, had a narrow escape
from death while riding in an automo-
bile the other afternoon. Young Gould
and a chauffeur were in forty-horse-
power runabout returning to the Gould
home at Lakewood. Near Manasquan,
thirteen miles out. is hill, at the foot
of which is a short stretch of level
ground and then sharp left turn.
Gould was driving, and when he
reached the hill increased the speed
and dashed downward at the rate of
sixty miles an hour. At the curve the
right wheels hardly touched the ground.
The weight and the momentum of the
car fell on the left wheels and the
front one collapsed, crumbling like
paper Gould was hurled thirty-five
feet into space and the chauffeur mar
rowly missed being pinned under the
overturned machine. Both escaped
with slight damage.
IT, however, instead of his injuries
Gould had been killed, there would
have been another murder laid at the
door of the automobile, and / fancy
can hear the funeral orator spouting
a lot Of regulation hot air about fresh
young life being broken in its prime
by that modern juggernaut Of whirring
wheels and death-dealing mechanism
the automobile. Likewise the yellow
journals and the calamity howlers and
knockers would have put their heads
together and would have soon exhaust
ed the dictionary of adjectlves in heap
ing curses upon the motor car.
But, fortunately, young Gould es-
capped 1t was not due to him that he
was not killed or seriously injured, for
he was doing his best to bring about
that end. The man. woman or child
who drives a 40-horsepower runabout
at rate of sixty miles an hour down
such a hill with such curve at the
foot Of II Is taking his life in his hand
with that utter disregard OF conse-
quences which is characteristic of the
battle followers of the Mad Mullah.

NEIGHBORS In COURT BECAUSE
OE CHANTICLEER'S LUSTY CROW

ing, went squawkIng over the fence to
their own back yard
Schrlven objected to this, It is said,
for he Is a devout man. This condition
existed for several weeks while the
neighbors watched for results.
II terminated in final wild meeting
late Friday afternoon, when Mcdonald,
after having chased last trespasslng
chicken back over the fence, called
Schriven forth from his home to dis
course freely on the subject at hand.
The exact details Of the conversation
have not been reported at the district
attorneys office, but the citizens of the
Park district. assert that they never
heard anything quite so thoroughly
done in the history of the settlement
Invites Nelehbors Out
When the smoke Of the wordy war
had subsidized, according to the allega-
tlons Of the neighbors, Mcdonald armed
himself with the family ak and took up
a position near the fence and in loud
and forcefuI tones invited the members
of the Schriven family to step out into
the yard Just for few moments, as he
had little something further to say
in regard to the subject being discussed.
Schrlven had made other arrange
ments and went quickly to Deputy Dis
trict Attorney North and swore out a
warrant charging his neighbor with
disturbing the peace.
yesterday morning Jack Adams, who
recently left the San Francisco suffer-
ers to their fate and returned for duty
in Constable De la Monte's office, went
to the Mcdonald home and tapped on
the door. Mcdonald was in bed and
the deputy read the warrant to his
man and then sat down on the front
door step and threw pebbles at the
nelghbor's chickens until Mcdonald was
ready to come to Los Angeles.
Justice Young released Mcdonald on
$50 bail, who returned home, shooed
the chickens out of the yard and pre-
pared to enter a strenuous defense
when his case comes up for trial after
the holidays.

ALLEGES ATTEMPT
TO STEAL CHILD
MRS. 6. H. BENJAMIN ACCUSES
HER HUSBAND
Woman Separated From Her Better
Half Seeks Divorce-He Wants
Baby Pending Granting
of Decree

George H. Benjamin, a clerk at the
Haywood & Wakefield Furniture COM
pany made a daring attempt to kidnap
his own child Friday night at meet
ing of the Holy Jumpers at Eighth
and Maple avenue, it is said.
He snatched the two-year- baby
almost from its mothers arms and
fled down the street closely pursued by
several men.
He was finally overtaken by Harry
c. Peltz and Joseph Kelly, clerks at
Brents furniture store, anG compelled
to restore the child to the arms OF
its mother.
Mrs. Benjamin will seek police inter-
ference tomorrow and probably swear
out a complaint against her husband
for attempted abduction.
Mrs. Benjamin lives with her father
at 763 San Julian street, and Friday
night in company with her cousin
went to a revival meeting in tent at
Eighth and Maple avenue.
Couple Is Separated
She has been living apart from Ben
jamin and has instituted proceedings
for divorce. Her husband has more
than once threatened her life, she
says, and she feared to meet him, but
little thought to find him at a religious
gathering.
Benjamin appeared in the meeting
while the leader was Offering an earn
est prayer and all heads We're bowed
in supplication. Suddenly Benjamin
approached the two women from be-
hind. He reached over and grasped
the child, striking Mrs. Benjamins
cousin as she attempted to shield the
baby from harm.
Benjamin ran to the street with the
frightened child in his arms and fled
up Eighth street to Los Angeles, and
then on Seventh to Main street. He
darted up a stairway, followed by the
two frantic women, Kelly and Peltz.
Seeing that he was trapped Benja-
min dropped the baby and fled down
stairs, but was caught by the men.
IncIines to Mercy
With her child in her arms, Mrs.
Benjamin was inclined to be mercifuI
and asked the rescuers to let her hus-
band go free for the time. She said
that such a thing would not happen
again and that she would seek the
protection of the law
1t was said last night that BENJAMIN
did not attempt to deny his kidnapping
attempt. but justified himself on the
ground that he was the father and
had a right to the child until divorce
Of court awarded it to the mother.
The couple have been married four
years and have but one child.

Which Defendant Says infested
His Rear Yard and
Porch

Aroused from his sleep in the stiliy
hours Of the night by the sweet, clear
notes Of his neighbor's chanticleer, D.
S. Mcdonald of Prospect Park became
angry at the interruption 70 his slum-
bers and said unkind things about all
chickens In general and a few in par
ticular Hard feeling arose between the
neighbors, and after making figurative
faces at one another over the back
fence, Ralph Schriven, the neighbor,
yesterday filed complaint against Nc
Donald, charging him with disturbing
the peace.
The war over the fence has lasted for
some time, 1t is said and originated
over the fact that Schrven could not
keep his fowls on the proper side of the
fence.
According to the statements of Nc
Donald, he fell over Schrvens hens
sitting on his doorsteps, tripped on the
roosters that were holding warfare
among his plants, and heard the cheeps
of Schrlven's little chicks as they leaped
from under his feet and dashed about
in his yard.
Even Chickens Scurry Away
He Is alleged by neighbors to have
said things about the chickens suffi-

GLENDALE HIGH WINS
FROM ALEXANDRIA TEAM
CAPTURES CLOSE BASKETBALL
CONTEST 1912
Glendale Girls Play a steadier Game
in the First HaIf-AIhambr Gen.
ter Outplayed Glendale Center at
Every Stage of the Game

In one of the most closely contested
basketball games of the season the
girls quintet of Glendale high school
defeated the team of the Alhambra
high school by four points. AT the end
of the first half the score was Z to IL
in favor of Glendale and at the close of
the second half Glendale had 16 points
and Alhambra had II.
The teams of these two high schools
are very evenly matched; the players
are almost equal as to their respective
knowledge Of the game, and in the four
games which they have played with
each other they have broken even. The
game yesterday was a surprise to the
Glendale girls as well as to the team of
Alhambra.
During the first half of the contest
Glendale played more even game than
the Alhambra girls. few fouls being
made by the former, while Alhambra
made thirteen on side plays and guard
ing over. Each foul that Alhambra
made was one point for the Glendale
side, as Miss Pittmann, the Glendale
forward, is sure of throwing goals.
The center division of the Glendale
lineup, which is usually so well played
by Emily Smalley, the 200-pound player.
was outpointed. Her opponent, Leotia
Rutland, outplayed the Glendale cen
ter at every stage of the game, the AL
hambra center being altogether too
fast.
The forwards on the Glendale team
were better, being quicker and having
more system to their game than that
of the Alhambra girls. Miss Pittman.
who gained some reputation last season
as being an unusual guard, is now
playing forward on the Glendale team
and does better work than she did when
playing guard.
The Alhambra forwards, Irma Cohen
and Bertha Haig, did some good work
for their team yesterday, taking ad-
vantage of every chance they had to
land the ball in the goal. The Glendale
guards, Alma Stone and Bah Valentine.
are both new to the game of basketball,
and although they show much promise
they do not possess as yet the team
work nor the eoolness which 1t takes TO
make thorough guards.
