WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-The de
partment of justice is watching re-
ports of a proposed merger of the
express companies but so far the
only action has been a general de-
cision or direction to the examiners

view to having all the facts before

POPE HARTFORD I,.,:,:::: WINS
THE rURTOLA ROAD RACE
Covers Distance of $50 Miles in Less
Than Four Hours, or an Average
of Over 60 Miles an Hour.

ming time by the Pope Hartford was
64.5l miles an hour, breaking the
worlds record established at Santa
Monica of 64.44 miles, and that Of
the Vanderbilt cup race of 64.42
miles an hour.
The racing was marred by nuin-
Der of accidents, two of which may
result fatally. These two were due
to inefficient policing of the course,
and in both cases spectators were
the victims. o. F. Johnson of this
city was struck by the Knox car,
driven by Frank Lee, on the course
near Fruitvale, and sustained iniur-
les from which he may possibly die.
An old man named McKittrick was
the victim of one of the most pc
culiar accidents ever witnessed on
an automobile race course when
he sustained a fracture by tire
cast by a Sunset car.
On the second lap in the small
car race, A. G. Linz, mechanician
on the Maxwell car, was painfully
injured by the breaking of the lv
wheel of his motor. Early in the
race the Chalmers-Detroit sustained
broken wheel, and Driver Howard
Warner and Mechanic James Me-
Cauley were thrown out and badly
bruised. The Stearns car, driven
by d. A. ( Rooney made the fastess
single lap, covering the 211a miles
in IS minutes and 19 seconds.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23.-San
Francisco's streets were one vast
ball room tonight and the flying
feet of thousands of dancers made
the hard asphalt seem like spring
ing spruce as they glided through
the waves of confetti at the seven
stationary floats, from which as
many bands sent out strains whose
dying echoes marked the close of
the Portola festival.
Almost million people crowded
the sidewalks as the parade of IL
Illuminated floats passed in review.
In one of these floats San Francisco
outdid her reputation for love of
pageantry, for one of them weighed
upwards of 10000 pounds, show
ing California's history from the
discovery of San Francisco bay by
Portola to the discovery of gold, all
set forth in graphic scenes.
One of the most striking of the
scenic floats was that showing the
Yosemite with it's frowning cliffs,
over which real water fell in catar-
acts. The discovery of the North
Pole with both Peary and Cook,

LOST
ON San Diego
DESERT Waste
(By Associated Prass.l

SAN BERNARDINO, Cal, Oct %
1t is reported in this city today
that the unknown family lost in the
desert of San Diego county, were
traced to within a comparatively
short distance of the west side IF
the main irrigation canal, but
whether they found the water or
were guided further away through
some of the Elusive canyons and
arroyas in which that country
abounds is still to be learned. The
family must have suffered terrible
torments in it's winding journey
from the point where its outfit was
found, five miles east of Carriso
creek, by T. H. Kellogg, mining
man.
When the three horses refused 20
go further over the burning sands
and one fell in a dying condition,
the man had unhitched the two re-
naming horses from the wagon,
and loading the staggering animals
and followed by his suffering fam
lily, set out across the rocky hills
and searched the sandy plains. On
every hand was evidence of the ex-
treme suffering of those who took
the trail. Kellogg says they stop
ped for rest with ever increasing
frequency and their uncertain trail
shows that they must have been in
sore straits. All efforts to learn the
identity of the family have proved
futile. Aside from the rumor that
they were from some of the coast
towns and had started overland to
the Imperial valley, there is no clue
as to whence they came or whittier
they were bound.
