Los Angeles to Stand
Trial for Staying Wife
BODY FOUND IN BRUSH

Los ANGELES, Oct e.-Sheriff
white and Deputy Sheriff Gilbert re-
turned TO Los Angeles today from
Washington. D. c.. with Anthony Be
sold in custody. Besold is charged
with the brlEtaI murder of his wife,
Mrs. Claude Alderman Besoid, in
TemescaI Canyon, near Santa Monica,
on July II last He denies his guilt
but attempts only a vague defense.
The finding by 'Posey" Norton. a
.Calabassas storelaeeper, of the decom-
posed body of a woman in Temescal
Canyon late in August revealed one of
the most battling murder mysteries in
the annals of Southern California. The
dead woman had been shot twice and
her body apparently tossed into the
brush.
Not until few weeks ago was the
body identified by the Sheriff's Office
as that of Mrs. Besold. Clever detec-
tive work resulted finally in the ar
rest at washington of Anthony Besold.
who now will be placed on trial for
the crime.
The allegation h made that Besold
tired of his wife because she was af-
hicted with form of tuberculosis and
was a heavy expense to him. and that
in order to be rid Of lter he lured her to
Temescal Canyon and murdered her in
cold blood. Strongly discriminating evil
dence has been obtained against him.

spirit reigned at Idora Park today,

the dimes and quarters from willing

The ball game drew an enthusiastic

News From All Sections of the Four Bay Counties
AUTOMOBILES rs
HOPES BADLY
SHATTERED.
By r. r. i'Horr1nnedieu.

The local aHtomobiiists are. feeling a
little sorry that one of the American
cars was not able to get within strik-
ing distance of the winner of the VAN
derbilt cup. II was thought that at
least one of the American cars would
be within the frst i've to finish.
This is not the fault of the building
OF the American cars 50 -muchs as it is
that the cars each year come TO the
line without the proper tuning up for
such q contest The foreign makers
are now building for the races in 1907,
and in some cases have their cars we'll
under way. These cars are completed
early in the year so that they can take
in the racing events in Europe.
In the United States if they were to
commences TO build for next years race
with the limited facilities it would not
be possible to get car built but a
snort time before the eliminating trial
races. Even IL they were able to get a
car ont at an early date It would not be
possible to work it out to the limit on
course the length of that over which
the cars travel in competing for the
cup. These are the handfcaps which
the Americans have to work under.
Until there are more races of the kind
there will be little hope OF securing
thC CONctcQ trophy.
The 1907 Pope-Toledo will be a SEN.
sation and a surprise. The Pope-To-
iedo is one OF the acknowledged cars
of power speed and endurance. In the
construction chrome nickel steel con-
stftutes the stationary front and rear
axles; every driving shaft, from the
crankshaft to propeller shafts and
shafts in the gearset is made from il.
a-hn ITaf Io1l
ings are as irresistible. The d. W. Fs-
carry all shafts in the gearset and form
end thrust bearings
The 1907 Pope principles are not all
hedged in with chrome nickel steel.
There are several other new features.
While the copper jackets of the cylin-
der continue. they alone constitute the
sole remaining factor by which the
present motor could be recognized from
past styles. The new Pope motor build
cylinders are cast in pairs Besides
this, the maker has taken q farewell Of
automatic inlet valves and now carries
mechanical inlets and exhausts in the
cylinder heads and inclines them out
from the center vertical line OF the cyl
inder bore at an agle of 20 degrees
Compression reliefs on the exhausts ia
cifitste cranking. and q high-tension-
gear-driven magnetic generates the ig-
hitting current
One does not look to the motor for
all the 1907 merits-many others exist
The changes In speed are through a
four speed and reverse seiective gear
set affordins direct drive on the third
speed. The jackshatt, well back to-
ward the rear axle. receives the drive
through a double jointed propeller
shaft from the gearset and delivers 1t
to the back wheels through q couple Of
side chains But this is not all--the
Pepe-Toledo has more features. The
front axle is suspended from the steer
ing pivots instead OF carried on them
The new body does not bear the slight
est resemblance. those of the past be-
ing much more attractive.

TENNISAT THEPARk

Two tournaments will be played on
the local tennis courts today. The an
nual scratch singles event for the bay
counties championship will be begun
on the park courts. Charles Foley is
the present champion and will defend
his title.
At the California Club the handicap
singles tournament for the Judges
cup, commenced two weeks ago, will
be completed. The semi-fnals will be
played IN the morning and the finals In
the afternoon.
Maurice Mclaughlin and George
James will come together in the first
will be called upon to allow his clever
young opponent odds of owe as. When
they met last Mclaughlin came within
an ace of taking James measure on
even terms. With a handicap the
clever Juvenile should dispose of the
ex-champion. Mclaughlin played great
tennis last Sunday. and, If he does az
well today, he ought to carry on the
artistic trophy.
In the other semi final match Coast
Champion Melville Long will be opposed
to ID. s. Shanks. The latter will have
a handicap of owe 80 As. Even with
these odds, Shanks is conceded but lit
tie chance to, win. While he played
cleyerly last Sunday he will be up
against great handicap player today
majority expect to soc Long and
Mclaughlin fight 1t out in the finals.
While ii is extremely doubtful If the
champion can beat McLoughlin with
handicap. it is certainty he will
make great fight With odds of owe
4-6 the park boy certainly has a great
chance to win the cup.

played on the Golden Gate tennis courts
yesterday by the juniors. Play was COM
pleted to tho finals, the successful teams
being John Straohan and Joseph Bern

SEEKS 10 RECOVER
VAST ESTATE.
Mrs. Florence Blythe Moore
Sues Executor of Will of
Her Late Fathers Partner
ASKS GOLD AND LAND

LOS ANGELES, Oct 6-Isaac n.
Moore, as assignee of Mrs. Florence
Blythe Moore, daughter of the late
Thomas H Blythe. millionaire of San
Francisco. began an action in the ST.
perior Court here today in which he
asks for an accounting from r. A..
Hartman, executor of the will of Gull
lermo Andrade. late Consul of Mexico
in this city, alleging that large
amount of the property left by Andrade
was not his own individually, but be-
longed to a partnership consisting of
Thomas H. Blythe and Andrade. The
complainant recites how Blythe and
Andrade associated themselves in 1875
for the purpose of buying and dealing
in Lower California and Sonora real es-
tate. Blythe invested, it is claimed
$4,000, and Andrade s12.500. The for
mer was entitled to two-thirds Of the
partnership assets and the other to
one-third. They became possessed Of
many leagues of land lying on the
shores of the Colorado River and the
Gulf of California. the speculative value
of which is given as $s25,00o
All these lands stood in the name OF
Andrade because he was Mexican cit
izen. Blythe died in April, 1888, and
Andrade remained the surviving part
ner. After years of litigation of cell
ebrated and remarkable case Mrs. Flor
ence Blythe Moore was recognized as
the dead millionaire's only daughter by
the courts and given his entire estate
She claims that she never had an ac-
counting with Andrade, who died last
year.
Mrs. Blythe's assignee asks that the
sum Of $174,s59 alleged to have been
received by Hartman since Andradeis
death on account of sales of lands be
declared partnership money and not
the property of Andrade's individual
estate.
