TRANSPORTATION SIMPLIFIED
Passenger Traffic Demands Operation
Of Electric, Steam and
Gasoline Cars

one of the earliest manifestations of
a widespread willingness to accept the
automobile with confidence i'm it's eff
cheney and economy has been the pro-
motion of companies to operate cleo
trio, steam and gasoline cars for pas
senger transportation in city and coun-
try.
This movement began in the late
nineties and has grown steadily, until
today It has reached greater develop
ment than ever before. No city has
sufficiently adequate transportation
facilities to shut out automobiles of one
style or another from successful COM
petition in carrying the public for hire,
and Alaska, the gold fields of Nevada
and New Mexico, nor Cuba and Porto
Rico are too remote to resist the in
vasion OF the self-propelled stages.
The demand for pleasure cars has
Kept manufacturers so busy that they
have not found 1t to their advantage
heretofore to give special study to the
field that has so long been awaiting
cultivation. but during the last year
they have given II more attention.
We may look, therefore, for a rapid
development OF this branch OF auto
mobilism. AS n comes about IL will be

z. F. Simmons. the daring individual
who with his wife not long ago finished
a transcontinental trip, thereby making
himself famous, walked into the Syra-
cuse On. " Journal office last week
and dared the members of the editorial
staff to take an automobile ride in
the blizzard then in progress.
Three of the staff gathered all the
stray clothing there was in sight and
were soon ready for the trip, as a
glance out of the window convinced
them that Mr.. Simmons was in earnest.
His Pope-Hartford stood at the curb,
or where the curb was supposed to be,
for everything was covered with snow.
At the wheel sat Ernest Wilson, one of
the best chauffeurs that ever drove a
car, and man and machine were wait

You must be crazy to go out a day

people to stop and gaze in wonder.

party, making seven passengers, or

THE REWARD

The following verses devoted to an
insight OF automobile heaven are taken
from the May issue of Motor
When earth's last motor has NOTED,
And the gasoline wells are dried;
And the Oldest spark plug has sooted,
And the freshest chauffeur has died;
We shall rest-and faith we shall need
it.
Lie down for a moment or two,
Till Gabriel's toot shall awake us
And bid us to drive anew.
Then those who know how shall be
happy
They shall drive a wondrous race;
And gain great cups for the winning
OF Meteor races In space:
They shall know the saints of the
motor
Lancia. Thery and Keene-
They shall go for year at running,
And never need gasoline.
And only our comrades shall praise us,
And only our victims shall blame,
And all shall have plenty of power.
And all shall have plenty of fame:
When each for the joy of the racing,
And each in his favorite car,
Shall drive as it should be driven
On roads of celestial tar.

AMERICAN WILL
TOUR ABROAD
TO COMPETE IN LONG TESTS
OF ENDURANCE
Percy Pierce, Winner Of Glidden
Trophy, VIII Endeavor to
Win the 315o-MiIe
Event

Having tried for International honors
in the automobile racing line and failed
to do anything remarkable, America
will now send representative abroad
this summer to see what can be done
in the touring line.
Percy P. Pierce of Buffalo, winner of
the Glidden trophy is billed to sail
Tor Paris next Saturday, taking with
him a forty-five horse power car of
American manufacture, which he will
drive in the European circuit and Her
komer tours. Pierce really will be the
first American to have a try for laurels
in this direction, for while the late
Clarence Gray Dinsmore competed in
the last Herkomer he spent so much
or his time in Europe he hardly was
counted as a Yankee representative.
Pierce has great reputation as a
driver and his friends regard his
chances of doing something as good
He himself believes his best chance is
in the European circuit affair, a new
event which will be contested this year
for the first time. 1t is at a distance of
$3.50 miles, through many countries,
and the route is generally hilly. The
German tour comes first, though, the
date for. starting being June from
II IduhlOIl. Inc f1efKOmer distance is
1000 miles, and besides the tour there
is hill climb as we'll as speed dashes
on the fiat, points being scored in each.
Last year the winner was E. Landen-
burg Of Munich.
To Compete In France
After the Herkomer, Pierce will 20
TO France to prepare for the blue rib
bon contest, which starts from Paris
July 29. 1t will take fifteen DAYS Ia
decide this, the trip averaging POS
miles day.
SO far no American entry has been
made for the grand prix, the two-day
race TO be contested over the Sarthe
course by the Automobile club of
France. Orlando f. Weber of Chicago
had counted confidently in making his
debut In that event as a driver of n
big racing car, but last week he re-
ceived word from Toledo that the speed
monster he was booked TO handle could
not be completed in time for the race
and that he would have to defer his
debut until the Vanderbilt cup race In
this country in the fall.
Weber, however, will not give up his
trip to Europe. He expects to sal
about the middle Of June, in time tc
see the French race and get a few
pointers that may help him in the Ions
Island event. From Europe he will
hurry home to take his racing cal
and become familiar with it's working!
before the American trials.

N0RTHERNERS ARE
DEMANDING CARS
LOCAL DEALERS UNABLE TO
RESPOND
Shortage Of Supply at San Francisco
Results In Applications for Ma
chimes From Cities Depend
ent Upon Ruined City

Prior to the San Francisco trouble
Los Angeles automobile dealers had
more than they could attend to in the
way of supplying the demand for cars
and orders accumulated far beyond the
capabilities of the local houses.
The manufacturers were harassed
with applications from Pacific coast
branches and the output fell short of
the cry for more autos. Then came the
northern disturbances, and rather than
decreasing the demand for the horse
less wagons the disaster instanced in a
striking manner their real value.
The San Francisco supply has been
practically given over to governmental
service and private owners are In a
large measure forced to await the
pleasure of Uncle Sam until such time
as he can restore or make recompense
for the machines which were pressed
into service for the alleviation of the
stress attendant upon the earthquake
situation.
The northern part of the state which
depended upon San Francisco agencies,
is now looking southwark, and several
calls upon Los Angeles agents indicate
the fact that the auto has become an
indispensable factor of municipal well
fare.
Local dealers. however, will hardly
be able to respond to the demand from
the north, as the Los Angeles demand
more than equals the supply.
Shipments Diverted
Several shipments diverted from San
Francisco were received with acclaim
by local agents, who for the first time
in months were able to present well
filled salesrooms to prospective pur-
chasers. That was the situation
week ago, but the cars have been
gobbled up with the same degree of
persistency as characterized the south
ern trade during the past year.
Many a lesson has been learned in
connection with the San Francisco
calamity. The populace of the northern
metropolis now realizes the impractical
bility of erecting great buildings upon
mud soil. A thousand other municipal
lessons have been thrust home which
in the future are to cater to the welfare
Of Pacific coast cities, and far from the
least is that of the automobile, which
in the time of trouble proved godsend
to the harassed citizens as they fed
from the scene Of their ruined homes.

OAKLAND HAVEN OF REFUGE

San Francisco, Cal, April @2a.--
Again came assurance this morning
that the fire had burned itself out.
Last night the flames came to Mob
Hill ridge and northerly and easterly
to the big sea wall sheds, docks and
warehouses, but the reports of the
damage done are conflicting.
One statement is that most of the
property on the extreme shore line
escaped.
A bulletin, reported by man who
skirted the water front this morning
in a tug, says that everything is
swept clean, except four docks, all
the way from the fishermens' wharf
near the ferry building to the foot of
Powell street. This means that near
ly mile of dray sheds, docks and
wharves have been added to the gen.
eral destruction.
In the section north of Market
street, the ruined district is prac-
tically bounded on the east by Van
Ness, although in many blocks the
flames destroyed squares to the west
of that thoroughfare. The Van Ness
burned line runs northerly to Green
wich street, which is a few blocks
from the bay. Then the boundary
goes up over Telegraph hill, and down
10 a portion of the shore that faces
Oakland.
Practically everything between Mar
ket, Van Ness, Greenwich and the bay
Is in ashes. All south of Market, with
perhaps some exceptions in the vi
cinity of the Pacific mail dock, is
gone. The Mission Dolores church.
The oldest building in the city, sur
vived the earthquake shock and was
saved from fire.
