Special to The Herald.
RIVERSIDE, June 29.-Generalissimo
Leon T. Shelter in his REQ car was the
first to arrive in the big endurance run
today He came in just after 12 O'Clock,
accompanied by Fred Pabst. 1t was
more than an hour before another car
arrived This was due to the fact that
Shelter did not stop at Redlands as did
the other autOiSts, but came directly
through to Riverside. Shelter reported
twenty-four points to the bad, which
means that he lost twenty-four minutes
between the Angel and Orange cities.
The first car of the main detachment
to arrive was r. c. Hamlin's Franklin,
containing Mr.. and Mrs. r. c. Hamlin
and Mr. and Mrs. William G. Dandy.
This car reported with a loss of twenty
four points, arriving at 1920, having
started second from Los Angeles at I'LL
The third car was the first to report
with a perfect score, having lost not a
minute. 1t was c. S. Anthony's Ell

Mrs. Anthony and two children and

started third from Los Angeles at 7:12,
arriving here at 1:45.
The arrival of the cars was heralded
at the Glenwood by a bugle blast,
Delbert Crane bugling on the Glen
woods LONG English coach horn.
At 2:15 the cars began to come in
! punches, and at times the court drive
way was crowded way back into the
street with six, ten or a dozen cars at
a time.
The fourth to arrive was A. j. Smith

The Herald'S automobile expert,

the following to say of the test.
BY ED MORIARTY
REDLANDS. June 29.-Skimming
across the hills and valleys which
stretched away from the city of the
Angels 10 cars participating in the
greatest endurance run of local history
sped along the kite shaped track today.
Tomorrow they will continue on their
way, and judging from the unparalleled
success which has thus far hovered
about the event automobling will re-
ceive the most pronounced impetus
thus far accorded the sport.
From Los Angeles the cars were sent
away in perfect order and by the time
Redlands had been reached but four
delays necessitated marring of per-
feet scores.
REQ, No. 12, met with a puncture on
Orange Grove avenue, before reaching
the railroad crossing. H. M. Fuller,
who also drove a Reo sustained three
punctures before reaching Pasadena.
Gilmore, No. 4, was delayed thirteen
minutes with a puncture.
Along the way a hearty reception was
accorded the autoists. At Pasadena
hundreds lined the Streets while at
Monrovia and the other towns en- route
the residences and business houses
reveled in masses of bunting.
The roads were in magnificent condi-
tion and more ideal day for the start
could hardly have been imagined.

GEORGE BEEBE'S PLEA
is FOR A CHANCE
TO GO UP HIGHER

Discussing the city attorneyship
fight Secretary Lissner of the non-paT-
tisan committee said yesterday: =
George Beebe's qualifications for
the office of city attorney, as stated by
himself before the Liberal alliance last
night, may be summarized as follows:
L am a young man, born and
brought up in Los Angeles. and am am
bilious to make a reputation for myself.
If you put me at the city attorneys
desk and l succeed there it Will give
me chance, and many of my friends
would like to see me have a chance
Every kind-hearted man will sym
pathize with the young gentleman's S
ambition, but the place for him to he
tested is in some position of less critl-
cal Importance to the whole community
than that of the head of the citys legal
department. Patience Is a virtue with
which youthful ambition should be
tempered.
Mr.. Beebe gave at least one comfort
ing assurance to his audience, to wit:
That, If elected, he will appoint as
deputies the very best lawyers he
could obtain. He would need them
and the city would most sadly need
them"

MACHINE MAKES
DIRE THREATS TO KNIFE
WALTER MALLAR[

Mr.. Lissner, secretary of the nom
partisan committee, said yesterday:
Here is a specimen of the method
which the Lindley machine thinks
proper to adopt in the campaign. Ben
Ward whom the independent voters of
this city and county have elected TIL
umphantly to succeed himself, is ear
neStly desirous that a man of his
own kind shall be In the office of the
city assessor. He is making vigorous
campaign for the non-partisan ticket
and particularly Walter Mallard for
assessor.
Now comes the open threat that if
Ward does not stop speaking for Gates
the machine will put its knife into NAL
lard. The people who are doing this
do not understand the mettle of Ben
Ward. That courageous and upright
citizen has sufficiently proved that he
will speak and act according to his con-
victions, regardless of how the heather
may rage. His own election was Il
magnificent proof of the strength of the
non-partisan sentiment in this city
And, any way, Ben is not quite so m
nocent as to suppose that the gang Or
any part of it will vote for Mallard UNI
der any circumstances.
The non-partisan cause is as good as
won already, but we want to make the
victory as overwhelming and conclu-
sive as possible. Every right-minded
citizen can afford to take a vacation
from his regular business on election
day and spend that day at the polls
or in getting out votes. The non-partl-
san executive committee needs the
name OF every voter who will volunteer
to work on election day. 1t Will also
need as many carriages and automo-
lbiles as 1t can get to bring the voters
to the polls"

TRUSTEES WILL
FIGHT RAILWAY
Officials of the Los AneeIes-Pacific
Declare Work Will Be Begun
and Case Threshed Out
in the Courts

A meeting Of the city trustees of
Hollywood was held last night in the
municipal building to consider the
action of the Los Angeles-Paciflc Rail-
way company in obstructing the road
way on Highland avenue yesterday,
when they placed a gang of men to
work on the construction of an extern
sion of their line without obtaining a
permit for so doing from the street de-
partment
The city attorney of Hollywood yes
terday secured the arrest of eight men
employed on the construction work, and
this called forth the statement from
the railway officials that the attorney
had exceeded his authority, as they
claimed that the strip of land which
they had torn up on Highland avenue
was private right of way owned by
them, and that the city of Hollywood
had no jurisdiction over it. The por-
ton of Highland avenue upon which
the workmen were employed yesterday
lies in the Whitney tract, and it is
claimed by the railway officials that
when this tract became a part of Holly
wood the proviso was agreed to that a
franchise should bt granted to the rail-
way company for a right of way
twenty-five feet in width along High
land avenue. They are now engaged
in the extension of their line through
this alleged right of way to the northern
limits of Hollywood.
The object of the meeting last night
was to determine whether the railway
company did virtually possess this right
of way.
Although no definite conclusion was
reached by the trustees II was con-
tended that the railway had no title
to the strip of land, and the city attor-
ney was instructed to secure the arrest
of any men placed upon the work In
future IL the railway company failed
to obtain the. legal permit from the
street department.
Manager Gabel OF the Los Angeles
Pacific was in attendance at the meet
ing of the arustees. and stated that he
would instruct his employees to con-
tinue the work ON the extension today
in defiance of the threats made by the
trustees to have the workmen arrested
1t is understood that the railway I
action in so doing will be to test the
case in court.
