ANOTHER WAGER WALKER
HEADED FOR THE CITY

Walking from New York to San
Francisco. bearing the stars and
stripes around him, John Walsh ar
rived in the city this morning after
having spent so days making the
journey across the eastern plains and
wading through deep snow banks on
top of the great divide.
Brown as a berry. yet with a step
as light as if he had just started on
the long trip, he visited local Elks
and Eagles and newspaper offices
that he might register with them
and thus leave proof that he had Wis
tied and stopped in the city.
Should he be successful in reach
ing his destination within the limit
of 90 days. he will be enriched to
the tune of $4,000. He must make
his expenses along the way and is
limited to selling his autograph in
doing this.
He said this morning.:
Eyes, | have gone hungry; but it
always gives a fellow a good story
to go that way. | waded in snow up
to my neck in crossing the noun
tains. and have all that | want of
It. There we're places that were al
most impossible to cross; but l made
it, and will soon be on my way
again"
He is feeling fine, and with long
muscular legs, he bids fair to ac-
complish what he is after and wind
up in the western city ahead of time
The people who are following him
should arrive in a couple of days

The threatened upheaval in the
Realty Purchasing company, with
headquarters in Pasadena and business
in Los Angeles, will not materialize
at present. Peace measures have been
adopted and after a thorough investi-
CATION the stockholders decided 1t is
best to proceed along the original lines
Some of the stockholders became dis
satisfied because they could not get all
the information they desired regarding
the business of the company. and es-
pecially in relation to the insurance
branch of the company They engaged
an expert accountant and his report
showed $4S,OOO paid in and $169,0O0 sub
scribed. To finance the insurance end
of the proposition, it was estimated,
$50 900 in real money and 100000 sub
scribed was needed.
When the stockholders met Wednes-
day in Pasadena they appointed G. A.
Durrell H. G. Cattell and w. H.
Loughery as a committee to select a
new board of directors, who will be
voted on June 16.
j. E. Youtz, formerly secretary of
the company, but who says he re-
signed because he did not approve of
the methods being pursued, has writ
ten an open letter explaining his posi-
ton and stating his reasons for with
drawing from the company.

NOTED PEDESTRIAN

EDWARD WESTON WALKS INTO
LOS ANGELES
Gray-Haired Athlete Covers Fifty
three Miles in a Day and Con-
cludes Long Tramp In
City of Angels

After covering f1fty-three miles since
8 O'Clock yesterday morning on the
last lap of his long walk from San
Francisco, Edward Payson Weston, the
famous pedestrian, arrived at the Plaza
at $40 o'clock last evening, Few min
utes behind his scheduled time. sur
rounded by members of the Hundred
Year club, with a brass band in front
and another behind him and with an
escort of several hundred persons, the
old man marched down Broadway with
all the grandeur of q potentate.
Many persons walked out as far as
the Sisters hospital to come in with
Weston, but the white haired pedes-
trian's gait at the finish was too swift
for many a younger man, and some
fell out of the line. Hundreds awaited
his arrival at the Plaza and lined
Bellevue avenue.
Weston left Newberry park at
o'clock yesterday morning. He reached
CalabaSaS at a. m, having covered
thirty miles. Then without a stop he
pushed on to Hollywood over the sum-
NIT of Cahuenga pass, which he
reached at los. Weston rested at the
Hollywood hotel for nearly four hours.
but did not sleep. The seven miles
from Hollywood to the Plaza he walked
hand in hand with little girl IA years
of age, who is already an enthusiastic
admirer of him. The distance from
Calabasas to Los Angeles Is twenty
three miles, so that the entire distance
covered was fifty-three miles.
Weston did not stop for his meals,
but consumed two dozen raw eggs, a
dozen bottles of ginger ale and sar-
saparilla, eight oranges. two quarts
of milk and large quantities of corn
flakes, of which he is very fond.
The pedestrian had but five hours
sleep since leaving Santa Barbara, 120
miles from Los Angeles, on Wednesday
night, yet he seemed to be in better
condition at the finish than some of
those who accompanied him the entire
distance in automobiles.
While in Los Angeles he will be the
guest of the Athletic club.
