but at the present moment it is his an-
tention to stick closely to the effort to
reduce existing records. In this respect
his chances for success will be greater at
Tanforan than at Emeryville:. AT. the 1at4
ter track the jockey club will not PERMIT
the high banking of the turns. and as
they are now they are not conducive tcF
At Tanforan it is different. Oldfield haS
inspected that course, and is highly
pleased with it, inasmuch as President
Williams will allow the promoters pf the
auto meets to do whatever bankingi ia
necessary on the turns to make the
course the safest in the country. Witt
this advantage the time made at Tam
foran should be exceedingly fast.
Card All Arranged sf3iss ssftii;s I
Manager Coffroth's first card at, the
Emeryville meet will consist of races for
dealers in stock cars of varying horse
power private cars driven by owners and
professional chauffeurS, and freak races,
besides one or two handicap eventsa
These, in addition to the efforts of, Old
field to break records from one UP to ten
enthusiasts for more of the exciting sport.
1t Is the intention of the management
to pay particular attention to the foster1 \
ing of the amateur end of the sport. With
this idea in view, Manager Coffroth will
hang up valuable plate in all the eYehtS
in which amateurs will participate.
There are a score or more automobile
clubs throughout the state that have been
approached with the view of conducting
plies have been very encouraging, and IL
looks as though an auto racing circuit is
almost certain to be established through
the state. 3

in Arizona recently on leave of absence
on private business.

ed the pay voucher to his chief for sig
nature Mr.. Anderson reduced the
amount $50. He made no explanation,
and none was asked till the finance
committee noticed the cut yesterday.
Mr.. Anderson felt that he couldn't
consistently draw pay when not work
ing. though officials in the city hall say
that Mr.. Anderson has worked number
less hours overtime on public business.

on Question of Street Railways.
Special 10 Times Republican.
Iowa City, April Elm the annual
debate last night between the State
University of Iowa and the University
Of Minnesota, held here, Iowa lost to
4e visitors, who took the side denying
that street railways should be private
ly owned Both sides had excellent
constructive argument and We're strong
in rebuttal. but Minnesota had more
mature men, and put more enthusiasm
into their work
The Iowa team consisted of III. W..
Barnes of Eagle Grove, Walter Myers
of Muscatine and Vincent Starzinger
of Des Moines. Minnesota was repre-
sented by c. O. Colburn, Michael j..
Doherty and Albert S. Evans. The
Judges were Professor Edwin Maxey
of the Nebraska Law school, Albert
Watkins and Judge Lincoln Frost, all
of Lincoln, Neb.
Iowa laid great stress on the advan-
tages in greater efficiency and initia-
tive displayed by private companies,
proposing to cure the present evils by
revocable franchises and state COM
missions. Minnesota argued from an
alogy, citing American municipal wa
ter works, etc, and English street rail-
ways as examples. They asserted that
strict control would hamper companies
to such an extent that the advantages
of private initiative would be lost.
