Mr.. LAWYER ATTACKS WERTz
Ashtabula's Senator Crltlclses Woos-
ter Man and Defends Management
of the Penitentiary.

Columbus, o. = Senator Charles
Lawyer of Ashtabula, member of
the commission to investigate con-
ditions at the penitentiary and re-
port to the governor, objects to the
recent statement of ex-Representative
Wertz of Wooster, who characterized
the work of the commission as delu-
sion and a snare.
Senator Lawyer said yesterday:
"Mr. Wertz evidently has just found
out that the law which bears his
name, providing for the abolishment
of contract labor, entirely failed to
provide for the employment of the
convicts in the penitentiary and in
stead of being benefit to them it
does them a great injustice by leaving
them in idleness.
"Mr. Wertz was a member of the
legislature at the time this law went
into effect and he knew, or at least
ought to have known, that no appro-
priations were made by the legisla-
ture for the purpose of enabling the
managers of either the Ohio peniten-
tiary or of the Ohio state reformatory
to carry into effect the provisions of
his law, through the purchase of ma
chinery with which to produce ar
ticles either for the state use, or the
building of roads or purchase of prop
erty.
"The penitentiary commission held
number of public sessions at the
penitentiary for the purpose of hear
ing charges of mismanagement
against the authorities in control of
the penitentiary. Able counsel was
employed and the papers of Ohio gave
notice of the purpose of these ses-
sions and all persons wishing to make
any complaints were invited to pre-
sent their charges, but no charge Of
any kind was brought before the COM
mittee. The committee examined the
warden as to his methods of dis
cipline and management and also
carefully inspected the prison plant.
The committee found no reason to OBJ
ject to the discipline by the warden.
1t also found that under his manage
ment the financial part of the prison
management was better than any pre-
ceding warden. The report of the
committee was unanimous and es-
pecially so regarding the charges of
mismanagement of the penitentiary.

isfied bondholders against the con
tinuance of Gov. Judson Harmon as

ing deferred indefinitely. The court
announced that he wanted to bring
the receivership to close as quickly
as possible, and declined to permit

WHITE STEAMER CARS
ARE IN NEW HANDS

A change has been made, and the
announcement officially made public,
in the representation of the White
steam cars for this district. 1t will be
recalled that a short time ago the
White Garage company, a corporation
of Los Angeles, through Col. f. G.
Fenner, controlled the sale of the
White cars in Southern California, but
recently surrendered the agency back
to the White people.
Last week, however, an arrangement
was completed by which the control
of the White steam cars passes to
George e. Cummings of this city, who
will have the agency for these cars in
the southern portion of the state.
Mr.. Cummings will retain his ware
rooms at the handsome garage and
show rooms of the White company,
near the corner of Eighth and South
Olive street where will be shown the
latest models of the White steam and
gasoline cars.
During the uncertainty as to who
would handle these cars there was quite
an effort to procure the agency for the
reason that the White steam cars have
usually sold themselves. And again,
the addition of the gasoline Whites for
the year 1910 made them still more
desirable, with the added feature that
the use of kerosene and distillate would
economize in the fuel charges when
running made the Whites In great de-
mand.
The new White models for 1910 are
now to be seen at the warerooms, and
the White gasoline cars will be re-
ceived during the present week
Mr.. Cummings, the new representa-
tive of the White machines, stands high
in the commercial world, and has taken
over to his employ EYlar Fillmore and
George w. Woods, both of whom have
for long time been connected with the
White company and are thoroughly
posted on the White cars.
Two demonstrators are already here
of the 1910 models, and IN this fact Mr.
Cummings has an advantage in being
among the first in the local automobile
circle to have the new season crop to
show to prospective buyers.

SAN FRANCISCO IS
PREPARING COURSE
Route Selected Said to Be the Ideal
One of All caIifornIa--Twenty-
one Miles for Test
Speed

The course over the road which has
been selected for the races during
Portola week at San Francisco is to be
run is pronounced to be the most ideal
in all California for the purpose.
J. p. Lowe, who will have, the active
management of the races, went over
the course during last week accom-
panied by the board Of supervisors and
other officials of the county of Ala
media.
The party went over the course from
start to finish and inspected the places
which 1t is thought ought to be re-
paired or otherwise improved. The
most important matter was the de-
cision to straighten out a bridge in
the center of an "S' curve which is
the most dangerous place on the
course. This is a concrete structure
which IS approached at an angle and
left at a different angle, giving all the
necessary conditions for a skid at
either end that might mean death to
the men in the car, for the bridge Is
a narrow one over deep gully. 1t
was decided also to bank four of the
most severe turns of the course, and
with these changes the whole twenty
one odd miles of the run is regarded
as a beautiful highway for test OF
speed.
The race Is to start at the Frick
school and the cars will run down
Deering avenue to San Leandro and
Hayward. There they will cut across
to the boulevard and race back to
their starting point over that magnifl-
cent highway, on which a maximum
speed can be attained, tempered only
by the curves that must be taken at
a. lower speed.

Palms Again Defeated

Colegrove, as if enthused by the
Racycles' example, gave Palms their
second drubbing of the season yester-
6av and ran up a 10 to l score against
the former champions. The winners
pounded Pitcher Saenz into every cor
ner of the field and Strengthened out
no less than seventeen of his twisters.
Labaig and Leahy, who composed Cole
greve's battery, worked in first-class
form, the men in the curve station al
lowing nine hits, but being admirably
backed by a strong infield Left
Fielder Spiess of the long-enders made
a star running catch of what appeared
To he a clean hit. With three men on
bases and two down, Spiess earned the
gratitude of his team mates by, re-
tiring the side. The Colegrove boys
found the Palms players the best on
earth, according to Thompson, and are
loud in their praises of the courteous
treatment received. A tabulated ac-
count Of the catastrophe follows:

covlnas Still In Van

The San Felice nine maintained
their 1000 per cent standing yesterday
by defeating the Wells-Fargo nine by
an to 2 score. Tile orange Pickers
won their game by scoring seven runs
from five hits in the first inning, and
thereafter were held down to two tai
lies by the visitors. Aguayo of the
winners was the swatsman of the
days conflict, this player getting one
triple and a couple of singles out of
four trips TO the plate. Graham of
the san Felice nine and Mcdonald of
the Wells-Fargos also showed UP well
in their batting. McElroy of the Bag
gage Smashers was enthusiastically ap-
plauded for two spectacular catches in
left field, one of which assisted a neat
double play. Second Baseman Graham
OF the Covinas made a beautiful stop
OF Prices grounder in the ninth
inning, throwing the runner out at
second. Nature took a hand in the
proceedings by first blistering the boys
with heat and filing their eyes with
dust, but later making amends for
same by cooling the atmosphere with
refreshing thunder storm. Figures
don't lie:

all to the good now, as they defeated a
