ing and who are not familiar with the
automobile? How many times have ar
resting policemen definitely stated on
the witness stand the rate of speed an
automobile was travelling. and that
statement has been the basis of a rul-
ing which has afflicted punishment on
the owner of the automobile.
1t is strange that this testimony has
not been combated by making these
policemen prove by actual test that
they are competent to tell what speed
an automobile is travelling. 1t would
take but one example In a county to
stop lot of this cinching of automo-
bile owners.
TALK OF ANOTHER RUN.
Some of the officers of the Automo-
bile Club of California think that to
call a regular programme event the
latter part of October would be mad
visable, as 1t might rain on the day the
event was scheduled to take place.
One of the officers in speaking of an
other run said last night:
'I am glad the members had such a
good time at the last two runs held
to Del Monte and would like to see
another take place II I were certain
that the rain would not cause a post
ponement of the event. But it is not
a matter for the officers of the club,
but is under the management of the
mittee thinks 1t best that there should
be another run, why one will be called.
The runs and tours are things that

FOUR MEN INJURED
BY STREETCARs.

-Four men were seriously hurt by
streetcars in different parts OF the city
and all within an hour last night. Two

and may die, The other two will re-
cover.
William III. January. a printer resid-
ing at 44S Devisadero street, boarded
car number 696 OF the Mission street
line at the ferry, but that was not the
car he desired. He was in, the act of
alighting when car number 1896 of
the Eddy street line struck him. He
was removed to the Harbor Hospital
in an unconscious condition. The doc
tors fear a fractured skull and hold
out but little hope for January's re-
covery.
William Sheehan attempted to alight
backward from an Ocean Beach car at
Eighth avenue and II street last night
and was thrown violently to- the
ground. striking head first At the
Park Hospital he failed to recover con-
sciousness and it is thought his skull
is fractured.

The Gymkhana games at Del Monte
were an object lesson that cannot be
passed over without mention. The
first two events were speed tests in
which the operators were required to
travel at a certain rate of speed with
out the assistance of mechanical ap-
pliances to show how fast they were
going. In other words they had to
travel by guesswork alone. In the first
event they had to go over half-mile
course at the rate of ten miles an hour,
and then in the one following they
had to go a full mile at the rate of
twenty miles an hour
It was interesting to see how opin-
ions differed as to the speed the cars
were going in the first event. There
was a difference Of over four miles in
speed per hour between the first and
last automobile in the contest In
the twenty-mile speed contest not one
of them came up to the full speed, go
ing about eighteen miles an hour at
the best.
Here were men who were trying
theft best to keep to a designated speed,
both of which were in keeping with
the law, yet they. with all their ex-
perience could not reach the mark.
There were some who came very close,
but as whole they were away off in
their judgment
automobile can so far misjudge speed,
what must be the result with officers
of the law who make arrests for speed

''I GUESS YES" !" SAYS
PRETTY KIM LEE
japanese Maiden and Louie
Quong, a Young China
man, Take Out License

OAKLAND, Sept. 2o.-"I guess yes"
said pretty Kim Lee. Japanese girl.
when Cupid Paul Wuthe asked her this
afternoon if she desired to marry Louie
Quong, a burly Chinaman. Her guess
carried and Wuthe issued the first
license that has been taken out in this
county for the intermarriage of a Chi
nese and a Japanese.
1t was several years ago that Louie
Quong left his home in China to carve
out his fortunes in California. Here
he met the fair Kim Lee, and 1t was a
case of love at first sight Louie
Quong was an ardent lover, and he soon
got the consent of his Japanese sweet
heart to become his bride. But about
that time the temblor came and Louie
and Kim fed to Vallejo. They came
down from Vallejo this afternoon and
procured the marriage license They
intend to stay here for several months,
and a week from tonight they will be
married. They have not decided yet
who will marry them nor where the
wedding will be, but Louie Quong saws
with pride that the wedding ceremony
will be something worth while"
After the wedding ceremony the Chi
nese and his Japanese bride will make
their home in Vallejo.

Tests PATRIOTISM
Of AVERY.

LOYALTY to country has cost w. H
Avery, assistant general manager OF
the Togo Kisen Kaisha Steamship Com
pany. a higher title and a more remu-
nerative position in the Japanese
steamship service Avery returned two
days ago from the East on his way to
Japan on business connected with the
company and he was to have left for
the Orient on the Siberia today. but
received a cablegram from Yokohama
Yesterday ordering him to remain here
until the China departed.
1t was while entertaining friends at
the ST Francis Hotel that the fact OF
his personal sacrifice to patriotism be-
came known. No foreigner in the en-
ploy of the various enterprises IN
which the Japanese Government Is a
directing factor has served with more
satisfaction than Avery, and in evil
dence of their appreciation or his abil-
ity the Toyo Kisen kaisha omcials
some time ago elevated him from the
position of general superintendent 70
that of assistant general manager, the
highest title that they could give him
under the rules of the company and the
laws of Japan.
Realizing later that Avery would be
more valuable to the company In Its
own country as vice president and
general manager, the directors endea-
vored to find some way OF promoting
him, but found themselves confronted
by the laws of Japan, which provide
that a general manager of company
whose policy is dominated by Govern
ment influences pust be a subject OF
the Mikado AS a last resort Avery
was delicately approached with a prop
osition that he swear allegiance to the
Mikado and take up his home in the
land Of the rising sun.
Avery declined the well-meant offer
He explained that his American citi-
zenship was dearer to him than any
position that foreign nation could
give him. The steamship officials asked
him to take a little more time to think
the matter over, but Avery's response
was that he could never agree to for
swear allegiance to his own country.
The matter was dropped. The jap
anese appreciate Avery's loyalty and
still have the same high appreciation
of his worth as their assistant gen.
eral manager and highest paid foreign
representative

are'handled by that committee and not
by the officers"
Undoubtedly there will be some sort
of an event before the rainy season
comes on. for the members OF the club
had so much enjoyment in the last
event that they want another this
year.
EFFECT OF CARE ON CAR.
1t is surprising what little care
can do in the way of giving enjoyment.
The last run to Del Monte was the
most successful that has ever been held
by the club. Every one had a good
time and was enthusiastic in the ex-
treme. When they were asked what
kind of a trip they had down they
would invariably. say the best that
has ever been made to this place"
They considered the roads in per-
feet condition and that 1t was good
going all the way. The fact of the
matter was that the roads were not in
as good condition as they were in the
early part of the season. The automo-
biles were, however. in much better
condition than they are usually. Those
who went down took special care that
the engine was running properly and
that every part was perfect, for IL was
a reliability test 1t was this that
made the run enjoyable. II owners
took as much care every time they
went out they would not have the com
plants against the automobiles and the
roads. 1t brings home the blame where
it belongs.
