STEARNS CAR ARRIVES
FROM SAN FRANCISCO
Loco and Stearns VIII Soon Be Ready
for Automobile Match at
Ascot Park

The Stearns automobile which nm
ished third in the Santa Monica road
race and Is matched against the Loco
mobile for a special race at Ascot park
Sunday, August Is, for a purse OF
$4,000 has arrived in Los Angeles
from San Francisco.
The car was brought from San Pedro
bv Charles Soules, who is expected to
be one of the drivers in the great
match race with the Loco. Soules IN
tends to have the car overhauled under
his supervision before it is taken to
Mscot park for its tryouts for the race.
y Immediately after the Santa Monica
ayent the car was shipped to san
Fl,ancisco, and in order to obtain 1t for
the race it was necessary for c. G.
slaughter, the new Stearns agent to
purtrhase it, as the articles of agree
ment specify that the race must be
between the same cars that We're in
the Santa Monica classic.
The Loco car is already stripped Tor
action and will be seen at Ascot park
this week for it's preliminary tryout.
The idea at first prevalent among
some a1toists that the match was a
"frame-up" is now dissipated, for per-
sons familiar with the arrangements
for the match are convinced that de-
spite the friendship existing between
Ralph j. Leavitt and c. G. Slaughter
the Importance of landing the winner IN
the race is paramount to personal
friendship.

WILL WALK TO
THE ATLANTIC
C. F. PETTY WILL START ON A
THREE-YEAR TRIP
EXPECTS TO REACH NEW YORK
AND THEN RETURN
VIII Take Many Photographs on the
Way and Show Them In the East
to illustrate Beauties Of
California

A walk from San Diego to New *
city and back for the sole purpose of
hearalding the charms of California is
the task which has been undertaken
by Charles F. Petty, "the tramp photog-
rapher," who is now in Los Angeles
en- route to the northern part of this
state, where he will go to take a few
pictures before continuing his difficult
tour.
The walking feat has been under
taken by Petty in order to pay debt
of gratitude which the photographer
feels that he ownes to the Golden State
for bringing him back to full possess
sion of health, when fifteen years ago
doctors in his native state of Missouri
declared that tuberculosis had so raw
aged his system that his case appar-
emily was hopeless.
In hundreds of American cities the
voice of the wandering knight of the
camera will be heard sounding the
praises of what he maintains is the
modern Garden of Eden-California.
The pictures taken while on the big
hike will be exhibited as an accom-
paniment to his lectures and these will
be given in order" to raise money for
the expenses attendant upon the trip.
Will Walk Three Years
Petty says that he will make the
round trip in three years and will be
able to do 1t without any ditticulty IN
spite of the many stops to be made
The route chosen is San Diego, Los
Angeles, San Francisco, the Yosemite
valley, then east to Denver, Kansas
city, st. Louis, Chicago and then on
to New York He will return by way
of the southern route and will touch
at New Orleans and other points along
the Gulf of Mexico.
Before leaving the Golden State the
tramp" photographer will visit every
county and county seat here in order
to take pictures which he will use to
show while expounding the beauties OF
these regions in the eastern part OF
the United States.
Unlike Edward Payson Weston and
other great walkers, Petty does not at
tempt to make a big distance in a
given time, and although able to aver
age five miles per hour for an eight
hour day he often stops to get pic
lures.
The pedestrian photographer is the
only man who ever has succeeded in
taking a picture of Old Yuma, the 120-
wear old warrior chief of the wyoming
tribe. who now lives in San Diego
county. Old Yuma has often shown
his antipathy for the camera man by
wrecking what the Indian loked upon
as an Internal machine, and until
Petty won his confidence the face OF
the wary redskin circulated only IN
the places where the centenarian HIM
self wished it to be observed.
Petty appears fully recovered from
his fight with the white plague ana
his vigorous physical condition will
adenuately demonstrate in other states
the wonders accomplished by the Cali
fornia climate.

CAUSES ARREST
OF SWEETHEART
WOMAN ACCUSES FIANCE OF
INSANITY
CHARGED BY MAN WITH TRYING
TO POISON HIM
Widow Follows Carpenter from Texas
to Los Angeles, Where She
Says He Began to Act
Queerly

Accused by the man she had come
nearly 1000 miles to marry of having
attempted to kill him by putting poison
in his coffee, and threatening bodily
harm to him, Mrs. Mary Booming of
526 San Julian street yesterday caused
the arrest of Julius GschWend of SAT
San Julian street on a charge of in
sanity. Gschwend, who is a Swiss, was
taken into custody at the central po-
lice station, where he had followed the
woman.
The story of the woman reveals a
pathetic case. Mrs. Booming is wild
ow with an 11-year-old daughter. She
met. Gschwend in San Antonio, Texas,
some time ago, and after a brief court
ship they became engaged. GschWend,
who Is a carpenter, went to Ell Paso to
work, and told his intended bride he
would send for her just as soon as he
was settled. Work became scarce and
he came to Los Angeles. He obtained
employment and wrote Mrs. Booming
to come and they would be married.
She borrowed $50 from her brother, and
with her daughter came to this CITY,
arriving here two weeks ago.
Met by Sweetheart
She was met at the depot by
Gschwend, who took her to apartments
own, and told her they would be mar
ried within a few days.
"IIe was very affectionate, and told
me that as soon as he could make GER
tain arrangements and provide suit
able cottage we would be married, !"
said Mrs. Booming. He then proposed
that until the time for the wedding he
would come to my room and eat break
fast and dinner with me. He agreed
to furnish everything, and consented.
1--WE were very happy for several
days; then he began to act queerly,
and to accuse me of number of ridic-
ulous things I denied the charges,
and then he accused me of having pol
soned nv first husband and of now
wanting to get him out of the way
"T notice you have not been drink
ing coffee for several mornings he
declared. I have been sick after drink
ing the stuff, and think you have been
putting something in it, l promptly
denied having made any attempt TO
injure him. Then he became angry
and declared he would have nothing
more to do with me.
Follows Her to Jail
"Since that time I have been seeking
work. l am without funds, and have
myself and daughter to provide for. 1
am a stranger here and am unable 10
get money to return to my home.
This morning l went to seek en-
ployment, and while walking along the
street saw Gschwend following me. He
would peer at me from behind corners
and posts, and otherwise act in pc
culiar manner. I then determined to
complain to the police. He followed
me to the station and was arrested"
Gschwend declared the woman had
poisoned her first husband and stated
he would not marry her for fear she
would kill him. He was examined by
the police surgeons, who issued a Ger
tifcate of insanity. He was taken to
the county hospital. where he will be
held pending his hearing before the in
sanity commission.

ing and Trust Business

The mammoth grocery and depart
ment store Of the Walter E. Smith
company, 216-21S South Spring street,
was opened to the public yesterday
morning, and crowds took advantage
of the opportunity to visit what is
doubtless one of the most handsomely
appointed stores of its kind in Los An
geles.
The interior of the store has been
entirely renovated and remodeled and
equipped with new and modern flX-
lures. The systematic arrangement OF
the various departments was one or
the features that first attracted the
eyes of the public.
It Is a model grocery store, heavily
stocked, with departments for meats,
fish, delicacies, fruit, teas and coffee'
and a bakery.
In the center of the first floor is a
large soda fountain of the most ap-
proved style, and well to the front Is
the fruit department, which will be
devoted especially to displaying and
boosting California fruits.
Two finely finished demonstration
booths occupy space on the first floor,
while the meat department has not
been overlooked in the arrangements
In this department there Is more than
100 feet of show cases, with modern
complete in every detail.
On the second floor is the order de-
partment, filled with new and COM
plete stock of groceries, canned goods
and other articles generally found in
first class store.
While elaborate arrangements were
made for the displaying of stock in
the various departments, the comfort
of the employees and customers was not
overlooked in the renovation.
Each employe has separate locker
and there is a rest room and toilet ar
rangements of the best,
For patrons there is a sitting room
and telephone room, and the restau-
rant for the benefit of customers and
employees Is arranged in a homelike
manner, with sideboard effect.
A number of the members of the
new Walter e. Smith firm have been
in the same location, under different
management, for fifteen years, while
others have served for various num-
Der of years. 1t Is the intention of the
new management to afford the same
courteous treatment to patrons as in
the past and the public is invited to
call and inspect the new Spring street
grocery.

at Carbohydrates

That Rev. Robert J. Burdette, the be-
loved and popular pastor of the Tenn
pie Baptist church, is seriously i'll at
his summer cottage, "Eventide," at
Clifton by-the-Sea, was the word re-
ceiyed in Los Angeles yesterday.
DR.. Burdette has not been in his
usual health since the accident which
he suffered from a fall at his sunny
Crest" home, Pasadena, before his last
trip east and since the breakdown in
the health of Mrs. Burdette following
the constant nursing of her husband,
DR.. Burdette has been in poor health.
The known couple had hoped
that a vacation of a month by the sea
would restore them to health and it
had been expected that DR.. Burdette
would resume his preaching August Is,
but this has necessarily been delayed
by his serious illness.
