Send Cracks to Compete
With Olympians

Three more crack athletes who will
compete at Stanford university on Sat
urday in the hope of making the Pa
cine coast team that goes to London
for the Olympian games arrived yes
terday They are A. McAllister, the
famous Salt Lake 100-yard runner, and
Ben Warrington and A Halburg the
noted Los Angeles swimmers who have
beaten everybody in southern Cali
fornia. The men were met by Andrew
Gl2rner. the crack Olympic club run
ner, who Will look after them during
their stay here.
McAllister is a student at Saints col
lege, the Mormon school near Salt Lake
City. He is very young athlete, hav-
ing been at the game only a short
time but he is said to be one of the
fleetest runners in the west. He has
a record of 3-5 for the 100-yard run,
made recently at Salt Lake, and his
friends are confident that he will make
the team, though he will have such
men as Snedigar and Glarner to go up
against.
Warrington is a short distance swim
mer. figuring in the 100 and 200 yard
dashes. He is considered the best man
at these distances in the south and is
looked upon as a very formidable
California representative in his class
His teammate, Halbs:rg, is a distance
man in the water. He has beaten all
comers in the south and hopes to
make the team handily. The swim
mers are accompanied by their man
ager, Leslie Henry.
They will use the Olympic club tank
during their stay here and. will have
a good chance to get line on the
local experts. McAllister will do his
light work at the home of the winged
90 also. He is in good shape now
and all he needs is a little warming
up to put him in the pink of condition
for the tryouts on Saturday afternoon

Inside Capitalists Stand by Their

Bush street stock brokers were interested
particularly in the movements of the Pittsburg
Silver Peak stock yesterday, which proved TO
be the fea OF the market. The sales
were not heavy. but considerable advance was
made as compared with the holding price of

taken at $1.15 and 900 later at S1.20. This
disposed for the moment at least, of the fear
that the Hickey stock might depress Silver

BIG SILENT VOTE
WORRIES MACHINE

The election proceeded very quietly
in the fortieth, but before the day was
over the large silent vote had the Her
rim henchmen badly worried. An un-
precedented number came to the polls
with posters in their pockets, voted
and departed without vouchsafing a
word to the importunate heelers of the
push who dogged their steps.
In several precincts, however, men
who had registered as~democrats were
persuaded to affix the Herrin machine
posters to their tickets, but nothing
was gained by this maneuyer, as these
votes were thrown out. The large dem
ocratic vote in this heavy republican
district also worried the machine ad-
herents, as they feared the loss of
some of their cohorts
With the exception of the one hun
dred and first precinct. where the In
dependence league polled IL votes, the
doodle dees and the prohibitionists ran
neck and neck for tail end honors, poll
ing from one to two votes in each pre-
cinct.
HAD POSTERS IN BOOTH
The Herrin and McNab push forces
had machine posters in the booth at

protested against this fragrant viola
tion of the election laws, he was or

the booth. Senator Gus" Hartmann
naively complained that those old fell

In spite of the fact that the machine
boasted that 1t had a cinch in the fortf
eth. the faithful were present in force
and working tooth and nail for their
nominees. Gus Hartmann was in
command and he kept his workers NOV
ing all over the district.
WORKERS FOR HERRIN
Among others who were faithful
workers for Herrin yesterday were
Hamilton Bauer Oscar Greenbaum.
Ed Kelly. George A. Kohn. Hartley
Peart and Milton Schmitt. Judge
Treadwell was a conspicuous figure at
the booth in precinct SO.
In the forty second district a large
vote was cast. and like the fortieth.
with the exception of one incident the
election passed off very quietly. In

made busy times along Automobile

-iues were crowded yesterday with mod
ern vehicles. The assortment of motor
ears was the most interesting that has
been seen in this city since the steam
car made it's appearance. Anything in
{ ne horseless wagon line that could
move was pressed into service. Not
only were the old vehicles to be seen.
but the number of new cars purchased
was astonishing. Several of these were
sold TO out of town residents, who had
held off buying until they had come to
the city TO view the fleet. The number
of sales made in many cases took all
the cars that the agents had on hand
1t is expected that the sales during the
next 10 days will amount TO more than
for any like period heretofore.
