PREPARING
FOR AUTO CONTEST
Comes to San Francisco to In
teryiew Racing Men of the
White Company
By K. K. PHommedien

Colonel F. c. Fenner of Los Angeles
Is in town making preparations for the
part he is going to take in the big road
race from Los Angeles to Phoenix, Ariz.
The southern automobilistS take the
game seriously, and every time they
participate in an event they go in TO
win, never leaving out the slightest. de-
tail to better their chances. For this
reason Fenner came TO talk over the
contest with the racing men of the
White company. as he is going to race
his steamer in the event. Fenner not
only wants TO win for the sake of cap
turing the contest, but he has his repu-
tation at stake, for Leon Shelter has
entered his car, the one Fenner de-
feated in the Mount Badly race. r. ].
Leayitt and A. J. Smith have entered
their cars The latter will drive his
two cycle Gilmore To put more snap
into the contest Fenner and Leavitt
have a little side bet of $1,000 on the
outcome of the race. Other wagers
also have been made.
According to the rules submitted to
contestants by the Maricopa automobile
club of Phoenix the racers are to leave
the Hollenbeck hotel. Los Angeles, one
hour apart, beginning at midnight No
vember Z. AT Fenner's request this
time probably will be changed to 8
p. m, so that the last starter will not
be compelled to leave SO late in the
morning. The hours interval is made
on account of the slowness with which
the me desert DUST settles aiter IL is

board. so the symmetry is not de-
stroyed.
Open footboards such as are used
on iron or brass bedsteads are a source
of great discomfort, by the light COM
ing through on a line with the eyes,
even when the bed does not face the
windows, and the careful hostess, real
izing this, has a shawl hung over the
foot at night, making an effectual
Two small essentials for the guest
room are a clock and a book 1t
makes no difference how inexpensive
the former may be if it keeps time
and thought should be given to having
it wound. The book should not be
an antiquated volume merely for looks,
but one that is reasonably new and
pleasantly readable.
To put bath robe in the guest room
closet is not an expensive thing to do,
and at times it is most useful. A pair
of bedroom slippers are to be had for
less than 81, and by having them to
use visitor may be made much more
comfortable.
A small detail that is seldom carried
out, but that is of the utmost interest
to guests, especially if they are visit
ing out of town. is a card on which is
written the hours of arrival and de-
strangers always wish to know-not
exactly, but pproximately-and it IS
sometimes very difficult to get this in
formation. Such a card can be put into
a simple frame costing 10 cents and
kept on the table. time table fas-
tened to the wall is another article to
ease the minds of visitors who know
nothing of trains.

a pint of peas. half a pint of caulifioWer
and one teaSpoonful of salt.
Put the carrot and one quart of boil
ing water into a saucepan and cook
for half an hour then f add the turnip
longer. When this time has passed
add the caulifower and cook for 20
minutes If the water should boil
away add more, for the vegetables, must
be covered all the time. Ii canned peas
be used they Will only need TO be rinsed
and added to the soup with the other
vegetables; but if fresh peas be used
they must be boiled for twenty or
thirty minutes in clear water.
When all the vegetables are done
drain off all the water and add the
vegetables and the taspoonful of salt
for a quarter of an hour and serve
This soup will be improved If a gill
of sorrel be added with the cooked
vegetables. 1t should be understood
soned before the vegetables are put into
it, the spoonful of salt being used sim
ply to season the vegetables. Julienne
soup is best. of course, If made when
vegetables have just been taken from
the garden and are very delicate; still
it may be made at any time with sat-
isfactory results, if a little care be
given to its preparation.

The Guest Room

Coat Hangers in Guests CIoset-No
guest room closet should be considered
equipped without at least four or five
coat hangers. When travelling with
limited luggage woman can rarely
carry them with her, but the need for
them is great, for wrinkles will come
out of folds much more quickly if "a
gown is hung on stretcher than if
it must be suspended by loops from
hooks, and it is calculated to bring
peace to the visitors mind if she sees
her garments so arranged that they
lose the effect of close packing.
The placing and arrangement of a
bed are things that the hostess should
consider carefully for the visitors best
comfort If possible, it should not face
the light or the first ray of dawn may
disturb the sleeper If the room is
such that this can not be avoided. a
way of obviating the trouble is. to have

comfort by having the morning light

PREPARE FOR SUITS

Working together, the offices of the
attorney general of California and the
San Francisco city attorney paved the
way yesterday for suits to be brought
against the city treasurer to recover
s37.572.79 due as protested taxes from
the United Railroads and held under
order of the court pending litigation
through the courts. This action has a
direct bearing on the case of Tomalty
and the treasury shortage, for it was
while investigating the disappearance
Of the tax money that the irregulari-
ties in the books handled by Tomalty
were discovered.
Brief proceedings were held before
Superior Judge Seawell yesterday
morning to determine legally that the
funds in question had been deposited
in the city treasury while Charles A.
Bantel was treasurer. That fact made
part of the court record. Tax Collector
David Bush made a formal order on
the incumbent treasurer, John Nc
Dougald, for the funds. McDougald re-
piled with the following formal writ

Inspector Boardman was in conmuni-
cation with Mrs. Forbes again yesterday
and today, and is directing the search for
the missing woman. He has responded
to request made by Mrs. Forbes to
have county policemen make inquiries
and to search the suburbs.
Mrs. Forbes has seen nothing of her
daughter since the latter returned here
from Riverton a week ago last Saturday.
She was at the train to meet her and re-
NAMED with her most of the day. return
ing to her home, II U street. when the
daughter went to 14O4 Massachusetts
avenue and engaged room. 1t is stated
tthat Mrs. Shsby spent part of the past
summer in Sanitarium, going to River
ton, Va. about September /. During the
month she was at RivertOn she was in
constant communication with her mother
and friends. and when she returned her
health seemed greatly improved. The
last acquaintance known to have seen
the woman before her sudden disappear
ance was her landlady. This afternoon
the police learned from A. D. Boettcher
Of A. New York avenue that she was
seen passing Chase's Theater last Mon
day evening between and O'Clock Mr.
Boettcher told Inspector Boardman that
Mrs. Silsby was wearing white costume

Mrs. Forbes shows the effects of the
terrible suspense under which she has
been since the disappearance of her
daughter She is able to get but little
sleep, and every time the door bell rings
she fears she is to receive word of her
daughters death. She frequently recalls
the many conversations she had with
her daughter, the latter's statement that
she meant some day to jump overheard
being the one that causes her SO much
mental anguish. The distressed mother
suggested to the police that her daugh-
ters body might be found in the woods i'm
the direction of Cabin John bridge, Great
Falls or Chevy Chase. as she had been
fond of going on the suburban car lines
to those places.
Inspector Boardman this afternoon de-
tailed Detective Trumbo to visit places
along the suburban electric lines and
make inquiries about the missing woman.
He took with him a photograph of the
woman and exhibited it to conductors.
motormen and others. hoping some of
them might be able to assist him, but at
a late hour he had not advised Inspector
Boardmar that he had been successful.
