POPE-HARTFORD
AS ENTERTAINER
RUESS CELEBRATES VICTORY
WITH DINNER
Famous Beefsteaks of Maier Brewing
Company for Forty Invited
Guests Finis to Now
Famous Race

It was a jolly crowd of forty or more
that sat down to a dinner of beefsteak
as prepared by that famous chef of the
Maier Brewing company last night,
when the finishing touches were given
to the now celebrated victory of the
Pope-Hartford in the Mount Baldy
race.
Wild Bill Ruess, president of the
Ruess Automobile company, was the
host, and the man who drove the car to
a successful finish proved himself quite
as adept an entertainer as he is now
famous as a driver of winning car.
The rendezvous for those invited was
at this salesrooms of the Pope-Hartford
on South Main street, where automo-
biles were in waiting to convey the
guests to the festive banquet board.
Arrival there found that prince of pro-
viders, Eddie Maier, with corps of
attendants all ready to serve the lus-
cious steaks for which the Maier Brew
ing company is as famous as its prod
uct.
Those invited showed the broad hos
pitality of the generous victor, for in
cluding his own extensive force of en-
pioyes who were there, his competitors
and the drivers of the competing cars
with their mechanicians also partook
of the feast prepared for their coming.
In addition to these, there were ac-
cessory and tiremen and personal
friends of the host who had come to do
honor to the man who has leaped into
fame by that climb of last Sunday
week. and as the bountiful supply OF
viands had satisfied the appetites of
those present, an impromptu program
of song, music and story made the
evening one of the most delightful inn
aginable. Many were the compliment
tary remarks and toasts rendered the
winning of the Baldy race, tokens of
which graced the tables in the form of
the handsome silver trophies which are
now in the possession of the Pope
Hartford people.
Until a late hour the host and guests
enjoyed themselves, speeches were
made, toasts extended, the lure of mu-
sic charmed the ear, mirth and jollity
prevailed, and the finis of the 1909
Baldy race was marked by an evening
that will long be remembered by all
who were present.

BREAKS RECORD
KEYSTONE CAR CLIPPED TWO
MINUTES FROM KISSEL
Four Hours and Fourteen Minutes Is
Now the Inside Mark for One
Way Trip to San
Diego

San Diego has had her record
smashed again, and this time for the
one way time. This remarkable feat
was accomplished by the Pennsylvania,
whose emblem of the keystones are be-
coming familiar to the people of Los
Angeles.
Two minutes were clipped off the
speed record for racing automobiles oy
Walter L. Vail of the Vail Motor Car
company, when he arrived in San Diego
in his Pennsylvania car at 9;44 o'clock,
making the run down the coast in 4
hours and Ia minutes.
The best previous time that has ever
been made for the one way run was 4
hours and 16 minutes, held by the Kts-
sci Kar and which that car has hailed
since last spring, the same day that
Ralph Hamlin made the run In a
Franklin stock car, who went after the
trophy run and made it in hours and
% minutes.
Vail would have reached his San
Diego registering point several minutes
earlier than he did had not the police
stopped him and his car at the foot of
D street, where he was placed under
arrest by Policeman Martin for exceed
ing the speed limit. Vail was taken to
headquarters, block from the san
Diegan Union office, where the racers
check in and out, where he was de-
time was devoted to explaining mat
ters to Chief of Police Wilson, who
later released Vail.
After taking on a supply of Oil yam
started on his return trip to Los An
geles at 9:51 o'clock.
Vail, who left Los Angeles at $50
o'clock, established a new record Tor
the coast run to Oceanside, making the
trip in three hours fiat, clipping seven
minutes off the best previous record.
Vail would have gotten in and out OF
San Diego without the police knowing
anything about his try at the speed
record but for a slight mishap when
detained him a short time, and to make
this up was making the Pennsylvania
take the road at 60-mile gait, and the
police authorities were telephoned that
Vail was coming at a daredevil speed,
and the Los Angeles record breaker
was intercepted at the foot of d street
and forced to limp half a mile to head
quarters. Up to that moment van
was about ten minutes ahead OF the
Kis3el Kar schedule.
The Pennsylvania was driven on TINS
record burning run by Morris ODon-
nell, with Vail as his mechanician.
No effort was made to try for the
round trip record owing to the delay to
the car at San Diego and this was the
first attempt of the Pennsylvania to
take the record, the car having been
over the road simply to learn it for the
try that took place and resulted in peel
ing down the best previous one way
time yesterday.
Mr.. Vail reports the road in very
bad condition going down the coast, fun
of ruts and bumps but states that the
inside route return is in very fair con-
dition

COMPANION OF PEARY
TELLS OF JOURNEY TO
FAR NORTHERN REGION

PITTSBURG, Sept. 27-In a letter to
his mother, Mrs. Mary Goodseu OF
New Kensington, Pa, near here, DR.;
John w. Goodsell, who accompanied
Peary on the dash to the north POLE
describes the trip in part as follows:
"I was with the commander on the
northern trip to Cape Columbia and no
across the ice to latitude S4 degrees ~
minutes. At this point the first two
detachments turned back to cape Co
lumbia, where the expedition left the
land. The temperature on the ice was
as low as SO degrees below zero.
'I left the Roosevelt on February 1s
with the second detachment, the cap
tain starting the day previous with the
first. I reached the Roosevelt March
%, absent from the ship nearly SIX
weeks.
after the northern trip my time un-
til the return of the commander was
engaged in caring for the disabled men
I brought in. l quote from my diary
April IS, 1909: ROSS Marvin is gone;
the Polar sea claimed him. The Roose-
veltsf flag is flying at half mast. Our
hearts are sorrowful for the loss OF d
dear comrade. :,
"T had retired last evening and had
not fallen asleep when L heard the cry; !;
1.-THE comatees (sledges) are coming.
Marvin was overdue several days, and
we were excepting him.
"'Borup came up to the door and
said: Marvin is gone. He went
through the ice"
Two Imuts had started back with
Marvin. Koodleoktoh related how Mar
vim had gone ahead with the comatee.
ROSS came to the big lead and at
tempted to cross. The thin ice gave
way with him. The broken surface
showed that he had made a gallant
struggle to penetrate the thin ice to a
firmer ice few yards beyond. The icy
water and colder air together in a few
minutes must have benumbed his hands
and rendered all efforts unavailing.
1.-THE Eskimos arrived too late. They
observed the footsteps terminating at
the edge of the broken lead, the back
of a koolatah (Imut Jacket showing
above the surface of the water. AS is
the Imuts' custom, a bag containing
Marvin's clothing was left at the edge

Chief Dishman Advises Against Grant
ing of Right to Applicant, but
Police Commission Votes
to Contrary

BY admitting he was a negro, K. b.
johnson surprised the police commls-
sion and a large audience last night,
when he secured q restaurant liquor
permit, against the advice of Chief of
Police Dishman. The permit was not
gained without a struggle, for the
commission was as evenly divided on
the matter as five men can be. The
.mayor and Commissioner Topham
voted against granting the permit, on
the advice of the chief, and Commits
sioners Graham, Andrews and Trask
voted for it.
The chief frankly admitted there
was nothing against Johnson, that he
had investigated his case thoroughly
and found his reputation was good,
but he advised against granting the
permit on the ground the restaurant
Johnson was to conduct, at 731 East
Third street, had given the police a
great deal of trouble in the past. 1t is
frequented by negroes, the chief said,
and these negroes had caused much
trouble.
The commission wanted to know
why Johnson insisted on the Third
street location, and Johnson replied it
was difficult for people of his race to
get a location anywhere and he had
been unable to find one suitable. This
was the first intimation that the COM
mission had that johnson was not of
the Caucasian for his appearance
is that of an intelligent white man.
When asked about it more closely he
declared he had negro blood in his
veins and added he was not ashamed
of it.
His hair is perfectly straight and of
a rather light brown, and his features
show nothing of the negro character
istics He is cripDled and walks with
much difficulty with the aid of two
crutches.
He told the commission he would
show them a negro restaurant could
be conducted in the most orderly man.

thing amiss at his place the police
would hear of it first from him.

football game from the freshmen by
a score of to o. thus getting re-
venge for their defeat in the fence
rush. The game itself was noticeable
for the lack of the new open style OF

work, While for 1913 Spurgeon, Craw-
ford, Rice and Bliss were the stars

kicking to Shut, who ran 1t back
about Is yards. For several minutes
neither side seemed able to make
line bucks the sophomores carried the
hall to the freshmen's 6-yard hne
where the babies held.
In the punt-out from behind the
line, Has1ins, who punted, was blocked
and Seward, catching the ball behind
the goal post, made the only touch
down of the game. Spurgeon kicked
off to the sophomores, who, after two
Intellectual bucks, punted, and the half
ended with the ball in the possession
of 1918. The second half was but
repetition of the first, without any
scoring, and the game ended with the
ball in the possession of the freshmen
in midheld. The lineup:

CATCH MURDERER
Redskin Known as Billy Boy Appears

Especial to The Herald. ]

BANNING, Sept PA young Indian
known locally as Billy Boy" shot and
killed Mike Boniface, Palm Springs
Indian, Sunday night at 9 o'clock, and
after threatening the other members
of the Boniface family with death if
they made an outcry, left for the des-
ert, taking with him 14-year-old Maria
Boniface, daughter of the slain man.
So effectual were the threats made
by the murderer that it was not until
daylight this morning that members
of the family reported the murder ito
the officers. They said the entire fam
lily of nine members were asleep under
a big tree when the young murderer
crept up on them. The first they knew
of danger was the binding flash of a
shotgun. The old man had been shot
through the left eye, death ensuing
Immediately.
BILLY Boy threatened to kill the
entire family If anybody made an out
cry. He then compelled the girl Maria
to get up, dress and accompany him.
He exchanged the shotgun for a rifle
stolen from Arthur Gilman's house and
started east with the girl on the South
ern Pacific track.
Posse Organized
Sheriff Wilson and Coroner Dickson
were notified this morning in Riverside
Of the murder and came UP in big
touring car at high speed. In the mean
time Constable DeCrevecouer put In
dian trailers on the scent and swore In
a posse to scour the hills for the muir
derer who had the advantage of nearly
twelve hours start.
The first definite information of the
whereabouts of the Indian and the alb
Quoted girl came from the agent at
Whitewater station, fifteen miles east
of Banning, who reported that the man
and girl passed there early in the
morning, and were headed for Palm
Springs.
Boniface lived at the Palm Springs
Indian reservation and was about 65
years old. He for several summers
worked in the fruit orchards of
Banning and was respected by all who
knew him, as a peaceable and fntelli-
gent Indian.
His murderer is about 26 years old
and has worked about here for some
time. He has never been in trouble
before. He attempted to pay court to
the youngest daughter of Boniface, put
the old man drove him off and in re-
venge he killed the father and abducted
the girl Shortly before dark tonight
Sheriff Wilson and his posse lost track
of the Indian murderer and his girl
captive on the desert beyond Cabazon.
All efforts at capture have been post
poned until daylight.
It is not believed, however, the In
dian can escape unless he is successful
in reaching the railroad and catching a
train, and all trains will be watched at
Banning and Yuma for the fugitive.
