a notorious practitioner, and one I'M

convicted of perjury or conspiracy.

n liar Is fine indeed. Men In serious
trouble who required tho services or
n cunning lawyer always appealed to
11ummell:' always lie was Willing to
serve them for price. He had no
regard for the ethics; lie glorificd IN

up to him as man who could plan

is applied day, but he was COM

BY r. r. I'Hor1rr,edieu

The race between Oldsmobile and
Pope Hartford cars from Los Angeles
to San Francisco has been postponed
L. P. Brinegar received word from
Ralph Owen that the race might be
postponed for thirty days, as Ryus and
Shelter believed this best because of
the bad roads. At the same time Brin-
egar received a telegram from Captain
Ryus. stating that the event had al
ready been put off.
They have referred the question OF
the postponeme to me-" said Brinegar
yesterday. Il think that two weeks is
long enough and If at the end of that
time road conditions have not improved
we can make another postponemen..
There has been a suggestion from the
Ryus delegation down south that the
two cars run for forty hours and the
one that is furthest ahead then be de-
clared the winner. This won't do Just
now. We have up stakes for race
from Los Angeles to San Francisco.
We will bring off this event and then
we can take us some new proposition"
