MAKES DARING NIGHT
RIDE IN FRANKLIN
Car Carries Two Children to Slckhed
in Peril Run Through Heavy
Fog, but Makes 1t with
Ease

A midnight ride through the noun
tains was taken not long ago by Carl
Gamer of Puyallup, Wash. His errand
was one Of mercy, and he made the trip
in his Franklin runabout, going from
Puyallup to Stevens Landing and back.
a distance of thirty-six miles, between
midnight and. 1:35 o'clock in the morn
ing. The trip was made to take two
children to the bedside of a sick rela-
tive. Telling of the experience, a friend
said:
owing to the serious condition of
Walter Scott's father 1t was deemed ad-
visable by the doctor to send for the
children. Carl Gamer and Thomas
Runolds left Puyallup at IL and pro-
ceeded to Stevens Landing for Master
Erving and Luella Scott and back at
1:35 a. m.
'This distance Is thirty-six miles
through the mountains, and on this ac-
count the run is remarkable. 1t was
Gamers first time over the road, and
the drive was all the more perilous on
account of the heavy fog.
''This run is a record which has never
before been equaled, especially al
night"
The car used by Mr.. Gamer was IL
horse power touring car which he has
used steadily since 1907.

NEWEST THING IN
MOTOR BUILDING
Franklin Torpedo Built on Lines Simi-
lar to ProjectiIe After Which 1t
Is Named for COM
pany Head

The Franklin torpedo, a speedy motor
car built on lines much like those of
the projectile for which it is named,
has just been sent out from the Frank
lin factory at Syracuse. 1t is for the
personal use of H. H. Franklin, head
of the company by which it is made,
and is pronounced the most complete
car ever constructed in America.
Along what would be its water line
IL the car were boat, which in it's coat
of battleship gray 1t much resembles,
the motor car is cigar shaped, present.
ing as little resistance to the air as an
airship 1t has a long, low body, the
hood of the automobile being fashioned
like the bow of a boat. The shape is
an ultra development Of what Europe
ans are seeking in what they call dust
less body design. The exterior is smooth
like the hull of a boat-nothing pro-
jects to catch the dust of the highway.
The boat design is an American solu-
ton of the European problem.
In the carrying out of the dustless
construction the Torpedo has an inno-
walton in inclosing with sides, flush
with the top of the dash, the occupants
of the forward seat as well as the pas
sengers in the tonneau, four altogether.
And in front there is only one door, at
the left and away from the driver
The car is capable of making from
sixty to seventy-five miles an hour. 1t
is provided with a regular siX-cylinder
engine and chassis of the forty-two-
horsepower Franklin cars of 1910 model,
with a special gear.
The torpedo's equipment includes
even such details as an electric cigar
lighter, special monogramed station
cry, caps, goggles, gloves, maps, toilet
articles and FIRST aid to the injured
outfit
A circular windshield is an innova-
ton. Its glass is about foot in diam
eter and is held by an adjustable stand
ard close before the face of the driver.
This was specially designed for the Tor
pedo.
The electric equipment includes a
speedometer light and small electric
lights auxiliary to the oil side and rear
lights. The headlights use acetylene
gas.
The body is made of aluminium, and
it's battleship gray is striped with pearl
gray; on the sides appears Mr.. Frank
Inns monogram. The aluminium is
given a rubbed instead of highly pol
ished finish.

ONTARIO SCHOOL TRUSTEES
WILL NOT CHARGE TUITION
After Storm of Protests from Upland
and cucamonga, Former Position
Is Abandoned

ONTARIO, Sept. 7.-After storm Of
public protest, the latest report from
the board of school trustees is that no
tuition will be charged pupils attending
the high school from outside districts.
The statement was made a week ago by
a member of the board that tuition
fee of $50 would be required of every
pupil from Upland and Cucamonga FOR
the coming year. AS almost all other
districts in the state had decided the
law which was passed by the state
legislature during it's last session, abol-
ishing high school tuition, was now in
effect, the people of Upland and Cuca-
monga were very indignant, and accu-
sations of spite work were made against
the Ontario trustees.
Whether or not these protests al
fected the members of the board to any
extent is not known, but in conversa-
tion yesterday concerning the matter
one of the members said: you may
saw that unless further notice is given
there will be no tuition charged for the
coming year."

FRIENDLY ARGUMENT ON
POLITICS AT CLUB MEET
TWenty=first Precinct Voters Talk on
Merits of Boss Parker and
Boss Lissner

The Twenty-flrst Precinct Republican
club held a smoker at the home of
Frank Dominguez, 438 North Grand
avenue, last night. About thirty mem-
bers of the club were present. DIR. S.
A. Austin, candidate for councilman,
president, was in the chair. Among
other routine business a communica-
ton from the Second Ward Central
club of the Good Government organ
ization was read, which contained a
challenge for a debate. After some dis
cussion the secretary, Isaac Finken-
stein, was instructed to communicate
with the Good Government club in ref
erence to>the matter.
After several speakers had talked,
b. A. Stephens of the Good Government
organization was invited to take the
floor and responded in half-hour talk
on pioneer "reminiscences of a political
character, and finally came to the ques-
tion of the present municipal cam
paign, in which he differed radically
from the opinions of his hosts. His ad-
dress was reviewed by e. Dingle and
Frank Dominguez, who, while admir-
ing their opponents candor, warmed
his Jacket in true forensic style. Do
minguez subjected Stephens to num-
ber of searching questions, some OF
which he answered and as to others
he frankly admitted either his inability
to answer or confessed his ignorance,
especially in regard to the affair of the
bar of the Hotel Alexandria having
been open on a Sunday during the
Elks' carnival while poorer mems bars
had been closed.
Dingle made some caustic compari-
sons between Boss Lissner and Boss
Parker of which Mr.. stephens dis
claimed all personal knowledge. DE-
Austin claimed that the Good Govern
ment people, by their name, implicated
that none others than their organlza-
tion favored good government, which
he denied, while Mr.. stephens claimed
the name only expressed the ideal with
out reference to persons or parties.
After the meeting adjourned Mr.. Do
minguez served luncheon, and all part
ed the best of friends.

CHANGE IN OPERATION
OF HIGH SCHOOL MADE
Pupils Must Have Required Number
of Credits in Order 10 JoIn
Classes

ONTARIO, Sept. 7.-The prospectus
for the high school is now on the press.
There will be many changes in the adj
ministration of the school for the COM

pupil can hereafter affiliate himself
with a class unless he shall have the
required number of credits.
For the sophomore class three credits
are required, for the junior seven
credits and to be a senior pupil must
have eleven credits. Much trouble was
caused in the school last year on ac-
count of the arrangement of the classes,
and the faculty does not propose to
have a recurrence of the matter this
year.
A department Of domestic science and
manual training has also been added,
with thoroughly equipped rooms for

RAMBLER CAR WILL
PROTEST COLUMBIA
Claim Made Rule Was Not Adhered to
Requiring Full Equipment, but
Columbia Agent Is
Silent

1t seems that the Columbia car that
ran out last Saturday morning under
the helm OF Harold Stone and cap
tured the record time away from the
Rambler, for which car old War Horse
L. B. Harvey carried off the Chanslor
& Lyon perpetual cup for the round
trip record between Los Angeles and
San Diego, is not to be allowed to en-
Joy its honors-at least in so far as
having the coveted cup about the prem
ises of the home of the Columbia, for
while no written protest has as yet
been filed against the Columbia's claim
to the cup, still it is understood that
such a document will be handed to
Chanslor & Lyon, formally protesting
the record.
c. K. Cowan. representing Thomas
B. Jeffery & Co.. makers of the Rambler
cars, personally notified Mr. Chanslor
that he desired to enter protest in
behalf of the Rambler car, upon the
ground that the Columbia did not con-
form to the rules governing the Los
Angeles-San Diego record, the main
cause of complaint being that the CO.
lumbia neglected the rule which reads
to wit:
ANY fully equipped stock car can
models. No stripped or racing cars
shall be eligible. Cars must be in good
running condition at the finish"
The contention of the Rambler, hold
ing the cup for long time is that the
Columbia ran without Tenders No
doubt rests as to the car being in the
pink of condition on its return from its
record breaking trip, not tool having
been used on the entire run.
While Bireley & Young, owners of the
Columbia, have not as yet been Of
ficially advised OF the protest it is un-
derstood that they have indisputable
evidence that the Rambler car driven
by Harvey was not fully equipped at
the time he pulled down the record for
the car he drove. A picture is shown
that the Rambler was destitute of
lamps and a horn at least, and this
shortage of full equipment is al
legged as against the Rambler, but
which up to this time nothing had been
said concerning this shortage of being
fully equipped"
In the meantime the cup which has
been held in San Francisco is to be
brought to this city, and when de-
cision has been reached it will be duly
assigned to the car that should carry IT.
