RULES ADOPTED
FOR THE AUTO CUP
San Francisco Motor Club
Takes Possession of Chans=
lor and Lyons Trophy
Insists That the Race Shall Be
Purely a Stock Car
Contest
By K. X. fHommedieu

The san Francisco motor club took
formal possession yesterday of the
Chanslor and Lyons challenge cup.
meeting of the board of directors de-
cided upon the rules which viii govern
the holding of the trophy Ii was de-
cided that the start and finish of the
record breaking trip should be at the
corner of Van Ness and Golden Gate
avenues. where the rooms of the club
are situated. The speed trials are open
only to stock cars, but there are no
limitations as to the number of pas
sengers to be carried This means that
runabout speedsters as well as touring
cars can compete for the trophy. The
cars are not to be stripped. Muffers,
mud guards and lamps must be car
ried. In other words the cars are not
TO be specially prepared for the trial.
The contestants shall check in at Del
Monte. When leaving the city they are
to carry their credentials. which must
be signed by one of the officials of the
hotel
The trials for lowering the time be-
tween the city, Del Monte and return is
open to any one. Since Fernando Mel
son won the honor of being the one to
set the pace others have taken part in
the drawing. These requests have
caused the directors TO decide that they
will be allowed to do so, taking their
turns according to the positions gained
in the drawing. This will mean that
c. S. Howard in his Buick White
Streak" will be the first to try to lower
the mark set by Nelson. Howard will
be followed by Harvey in his record
breaking Rambler, Norman de Vaux in
his Auburn. Max Rosenfeld in his Peer
less and Cummings in his Acme in the
order named. The record run of Nell
sons will be novelty in its way. He
is going to use the car with which he
first made the record to Los Angeles
three years ago. The car is in fine
shape and will be sent through with the
Goodyear rims and tires that have gone
thousands of miles already. The car
will carry four passengers. Nelson will
have as crew his sons, George, William
and Frank. After those who have al
ready been scheduled to go after the
record have had chance any one will
be privileged to make the attempt.
They, however, will have to notify the
chairman of the contest committee of
the club not later than As hours be-
fore the time asked for the start In
case contestant is arrested for ex-
ceeding the speed limit he will forfeit
his chance for that particular trial.
The fact that the Del Monte hotel
people are going to offer cups for every
one who breaks the record has been an
incentive to many. The principal OBJ
| ject of the contest is to advance the in
| terest of good roads which the contest
will clearly demonstrate.

electrical business of his firm on the
Pacific coast
Downing, in speaking of the electri-
cal business in the west. said there
We're few commercial vehicles in his
line on this coast. principally because
the business here had not been pushed
as much as it had in the eastern cities.
He also attributed the present condi-
tion to the fact that the trucking and
transfer business on this coast had not
reached the proportions and the stage
OF development that it had in the larger
eastern cities.
The eastern express companies -
said Downing, are using exclusively
electrically propelled vehicles in Roch-
ester. Syracuse, New Haven; Washing
ton, d. c.. and Indianapolis. Ind The
same companies are partially equipped
in the same way in Chicago, Philadel-
phia and New York. The other express
companies in the same cities have a
large number of electric vehicles
The oldest concern in the country,
which leads in the number of electri-
cal1y propelled vehicles in use is a

latter concern has 56 electric trucks

Fashion Notes

Tucked Lace or Net SIeeves-One Of
lace or net show wide tucks. They ap-
pear at intervals of an inch, and are an
inch and a half In depth. The guimpe
or yoke is also pleated, though the
folds are as fine as tuclSs. Occasionally
the tucking thread is gathered to make
a slight fullness. In such treatment
the sleeves must be puckered in the
same way.
Another pretty style is to gather the
lace, silk. etc. into each seam, and
then draw tightly across the arm in
mousquetaire fashion.
Trimming about the hand appears
frequently on all the newest sleeves.
For instance, those Of net have a
small. naring ruffie that comes down
over the hand. and is headed by a mar
row band Of black velvet ribbon tying
al the top in a bow about two inches
long. On another black velvet band
is twisted. Neither or the frocks in
which these sleeves were seen showed
even a touch OF black elsewhere.

To the Members and Friends of the
Main Street Christian Church:
| desire to make three announce
ments:
l. On next Lords day l shall close
my long and pleasant work as min
lister to this congregation. | hope to
see every member present at each
service. My sermons for the day shall
be such as | would preach If | ex-
pected to be with you for years to
come-only the best message which
l can bring to you from the word of
our God.
2. At the morning service the ell
ders of the church will present a
report, so far as it can be tabulated
of the work of the congregation dur
ing the past year. While our work
is never what we should be glad to
see, it is most gratifying to be able
to report an excellent years service.
3. At the close of the morning
sermon ! shall ask you to make a
liberal offering for the Juliet Fow-
Ter Orphans. There are now seven
ty-one children in the home and
many others have been placed by the
management in good homes with
christian families. This is one of our
every member of our congregation
will consider it glad privilege to
give. Let this Offering be as liberal
as we can make it. Chalmers Nc

POLITICAL FORECAST.
A Number of State Conventions to
be Held During Meek.

Washington. April lS-NeXt
week will probably be quiet one
in political circles, as few important
conventions are scheduled. Only two
state conventions will be held by the
republicans, that of Nevada in Win
nemucca and of New Hampshire in
Concord The former is set for Mon
day and the latter for Tuesday. Del
egates favorable to the Taft candi-
dacy are assured in Nevada, accord
ing to reports from the Sagebrush
state. The action to be taken by the
New Hampshire convention is not
so easily forecasted, although it is
likely that an uninstructed delega-
ton will be chosen.
BY far the most important state
convention of the coming week will
be that of the Illinois democrats, to
be held on Thursday in Springfield.
The Illinois state central committee.
with only one dissenting vote, has
Endorsed William j Bryan for the
presidency in the most emphatic lam
guage, and the Endorsement will
doubtless receive the sanction of the
state convention.
Massachusetts democrats viii hold
their spring caucuses on Wednesday
and the state convention will be held
in Boston on May Z. Bryan boomers
have made determined efforts to cap
ture the Bay state and apparently
with every hope of success. The at
tempt to arouse Johnson sentiment
in Massachusetts has been a fat fail
ure
Congressional district conventions
to be held during the week will have
little effect upon the standing of the
candidates, and will leave Taft and
Bryan with the leads they have
maintained since the opening of the
campaign.
Secretary Taft will begin the week
in New York, addressing the meet
ing of the Laymen's Missionary
Movement on Monday night. Mr.
Bryan will also continue his New
York tour during the week and will
deliver several addresses. The most
important political banquet of the
week will be held here next Saturday
night by the league of state republi-
can clubs. All of the republican can
d1dates for the presidency have been
invited and President Roosevelt will
likely deliver a brief address.
The state election will be held on
Tuesday in Louisiana, when state Of
f1cers will be elected and several
amendments to the constitution will
be voted on. Jared Y. Sanders was
nominated as gubernatorial candi-
date in the recent democratic pri-
maries and will be elected without
serious opposition

Shall hens be permitted to run at

This question, which has divided
the city into two parties, the pro-

the cause of an election next We'd
nesday. The issue was too deep for
the city council and the members
decided to submit the question to
popular vote.
When the ordinance to prevent
poultry from running at large was
drafted it brought forth immediate
protests from women. Then it de-
veloped that the measure had been
drafted at the suggestion of other
women. Besieged on all sides. the
councilmen determined to shift re-
sponsibility for settling the question
and so now it's up to the voters.

The stolen money comprised PEN
