so antagonistic that each forgets his
sporting proclivities in the natural de-
sire to further the interests of his own
car.
II shall be very sorry to see the
same conditions exist here. AS an in
dividual am strongly in favor of go
ing into every race, the promoters of
which are honest and give me q run
for my money. The beauty Of the
conduct of the American grand prize
race at Savannah lay in the fact that
every entrant trusted Chairman Nor
rell and knew that he would have a
square deal.
THE rules were laid out and an in
vitation extended to enter. Those that
liked the rules entered and those that
didn't stayed out. The result was that
the grand prize proved to be the great
est race that has ever been run in
any country.
THE antagonisms and petty jeal-
ousies aroused over the framing Of the
Briarcliff rules should show that the
manufacturer and agent are not COM
petent to organize a race. This should
be left to a club of automobile using
sportsmen, who can hire professional
promoters to carry out their wishes.
1.-THE Automobile Club of America
has shown that it can run race
which no one can criticise and it seems
to me that the sanctioning and franz
ing of rules should be left entirely in
their hands, provided that the COM
mittee TO which such sanctioning
power is left does not fall into the
hands of any of those affiliated with
the trade or who might have per-
sonal interest in the outcome of any
race that might be organized.
Il am sure that any proposed body
composed exclusively of manufacturers
who desire to control racing will be
a failure, as a race controlling body
should be composed of men who watch
the performances Of the cars with the
idea Of buying that one which suits
their individual needs.
"These gentlemen are banded to-
gether in clubs all over the country
and could representatives of these
clubs come together in a congress of
automobile clubs, the running of races
would be placed on a satisfactory
basis for all time to come"

board of education, since the board
has been nominated and elected at
large, the Ninth ward has never been
represented. In fact there has never
been a member from east of Main
street"
Mr.. Page was able to refute this SO
clearly as to make it a boomerang for
the opponents of amendment No. g
He was a member of the board of
education when election was under
the ward system and can therefore
compare both systems.
CAS- a matter of fact" he said last
night, men like w. j. Washburn, who
was president of the board following
the change to election at large. ]. NJ.
Quinn and Emmett Wilson have rep
resented the territory east of Main
street. OF the present board Mr.
Quinn, DR.. F. w. Steddom and myself
live in that part of the city. The rec
ords will show that it has been as we'll
taken care of at all times as any other
part Of Los Angeles.
I'm comparing the ward system with
the present method of electing at large
it is easy to deduce arguments why
councilmen should likewise be elected
at large. I have found it easier to
present the needs Of my section and
board of education has been elected
without regard to ward lines, for
there is greater disposition to weigh
matters impartialIy than when ward
interests were pulling against each
other. 1 may be considered an answer
to the statement that election at large
would deprive any ward Of represen-
tation, for 1 refused again to be a
candidate for the board Of education,
but the committee came back and said
l must run because they could not find
anyone to represent our part of the
city. That should go to show that
taxation without representation is not
so likely as it is claimed to be-
The fact that Ninth ward politicians
do not know the name of their repre-
sentative on the board of education,
although Mr.. Page has served on THAI
body for more than fifteen years, is
causing smile among his friends.

TWO PLACED UNDER ARREST
ON SUSPICION
LARGE QUANTITIES OF STOLEN

Police Assert Prisoners Are Guilty,
with Others Not in Custody, of
Robbing Venice Apart
ments

Newton Barnes, better known Red" a
messenger employed by the American District
Messenger company, was arrested in Long
Beach last night by Detective James McNa-
mara and placed in the city jail suspicion.
In the same big steel tank at the city prison,
but in another cell, is Peter Fenter, a mes
senger boy employed by the California Mes
senger company, better known as Dutch
also held on suspicion, who was arrested on
Friday.
Barnes and Fenter are alleged to be guilty of
the burglary of the fashionable Venice apart
ments at 124 East Fourth street, where they
are alleged to have stolen clothing and other
property to the value Of several hundreds Of
dollars belonging to guests.
More than a score of other robberies of a
similar nature are credited to the boys and
two others who are still at large. According
to the police the messenger boys used their
office as messengers when on call at any
of the houses to investigate the habits of the
different roomers and secure a knowledge Of
the property kept in the various rooms. At
an opportune time they would go into the house
and if they found the occupants Of the rooms
absent they would break in and carry off
everything of value.
The sight of messenger boy going down
the street with a bundle excited no suspicion
in the minds of policemen and watchmen.

Attempt to Influence Voters of the

CounciImen-at-Large

Roger S. Page, member of the

find in his front yard when he re-

attacking the constitutional amend
ment specifying the election of coun-
cilmen at large with the allegation
that there had never been member
of the board of education from his
ward.
Mr.. Page lives at 1926 Michigan
avenue in the Ninth ward, and the
ignorance of the compiler of the cir
cular was made the more glaring to
him because he has been a member
of the board of education for years
The circular was addressed to voters
of the Ninth ward and made the fol-
lowing argument:
1.-THE reason for voting mo- on
amendment No. 2 is forcibly brought
out by the fact that councilmen elect

NEW YORK. Jam 3O.-William B.
Hurlburt, long identified with Packard
and Garford interests in New York
city and who will take charge of the
New York branch of the z. r. Thomas
Motor company, had some interesting
observations to make yesterday re-
garding the movement now on foot to
place the control of racing in the hands
of the manufacturers.
Mr.. Hurlburt has just returned from
Europe, where he visited the Paris
salon in behalf of the Thomas factory,
and while there watched closely the
racing situation which has resulted in
the abandonment of the French Grand
Prix.
After watching the jealousies of the
foreign manufacturer, Mr.. Hurlburt
has come to the conclusion that the
one person who should have nothing to
do with racing, except to race, is the
manufacturer.
1.-THE French Grand Prix was aban-
doned," said Mr.. Hurlburt, simply
because the commission sportive,
which corresponds with our contest
committee, is composed of manufac-
turers whose individual interests are

lng-Aetion Il Unusual
[By Associated Press. ]

RENO, New, Jan. SO.-Because the Sierra
Valley railroad failed to redeem $500, 900 in
first mortgage bonds, with interest, given to
secure loan from the Nevada, California &
Oregon Railroad company whose road connects
the former with civilization, the sheriff at
Plumas junction today foreclosed the mort
gage, fenced up the connecting tracks and
successfully marooned the 39-nile railroad in
the desert.
Passengers on the Nevada, California &
Oregon train today were stopped at the
connecting point and sent back to Reno,
although their destinations were at the end
of the Sierra Valley railroad.
T. F. Dunaway, vice president of the Ne
vada, California & Oregon, and the heaviest

ship in the foreclosed road, and it is prob
able that the branch railroad will be oper-
ated in the future as a part of the N c. &.
