WANTED ON FORGERY
CHARGE; SURRENDERS
Man Accused of UtterIng Bogus Checks
Goes Voluntarily to Courts and
Is rraigned-ReIeased
on Bond

Harper p. Bennett, wanted on two
criminal charges, one for the allaged
forgery of $40 check and the other
the forgery of the name OF M. E. Geer
to a bill of sale for 1000 shares of the
capital stock of the Burlingame Type
writing Telegraphing company, sur
prised the constables who have been
searching for him since December 2
by surrendering himself in Justice
Summerhelds court yesterday. He was
arraigned in that court on the forged
check charge and released on his own
recognizance. Then he went to JUS
tice Ling's court, where similar action
was taken with reference to the alleged
forgery of the bill of sale.
Benefits release was ordered at the
suggestion of District Attorney Fred
ericks, who, 1t Is said, wished to give
him an opportunity to make good losses
sustained by reason of his alleged of
fenses. The preliminary examinations
in both cases were continued indefi-
nitely.
In the forged check case Bennett is
accused of affixing the name of L. M.
Johnson, his former business partner,
to a check for $40. In the other case
he is charged with selling forged
bill of sale for 1000 shares of the Bur
lingame company's stock to Mrs. M.
A. Mintier for $3.50.

naturally. 1t is no secret that the Pa
cific coast is not prolific of accom-
pliShed racing drivers. And it is no
discredit to the profession that this ls
50, either, for it may be truthfully
stated that there has been nothing
materially of Importance on the Pa
cifc coast until recently that would
induce a man to remain here to sim
ply participate in the racing events
that may come up. Such men as
Frank Free. Harris Hanshue, Al Liv-
ingstone, the Nikrent brothers, T. j..
Beaudet, Frank Siefert, have remained
loyal to the coast largely because this
was the home in which they were
reared and they have lived Loyalty to
their homes.
But there remain quite a number of
other men who are, and might prove
their metal in events quite as sure
drivers as those named, among these
Bert Latham for example, and Morris
O'Donnell, who drove the Pennsylvania
to the pole with the winners medal at
Santa Ana and who suks quietly all
by himself in his lair for some reason,
and there Is Gus Siefried, who turned
turtle with the White at Newhall,
who must not be overlooked were he
TO have an opportunity; and the Max
well has a salesman in G. B. Smith,
who drove the Maxwell such a pace at
the Redlands mile high hill climb, If
his employers would turn him loose
and permit HIM to enter the racing
game. He would be a dangerous man
on any track in the world for any of
the fast drivers of the coast or any
where else.
At any rate there is something on
the wind at present among the drivers
and revolt is heard on every hand. 1t
is known to The Herald that meetings
have been held among these men and
that there is liable to be an outbreak
at any moment. What the outcome
may be will be awaited with interest.

SAN DIEGO GIVEN
WARM SUPPORT HERE
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
cIation Passes Resolution to Help
Project of the Southern
City

Los Angeles has held out the hand
of friendship to San Diego in real
earnestness and turned a deaf ear to
the grab of San Francisco for the
privilege of holding Panama canal
exposition in 1915.
This was evidenced yesterday at the
meeting Of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers association here, when it
was unanimously resolved to lend
every assistance possible to make the
San Diego exposition a success.
The resolutions are not yet drafted,
as Secretary Zeehandelaar is busy
with the Aviation week plans, but its
substance will be as follows:
That Los Angeles recognizes the en-
terprise and public spirit of San
Diego.
That Los Angeles believes that such
an exposition as is proposed for 1915
will benefit the entire southwest, and
that this city will do all in it's power
to make such an exposition a success
and will join hands heartily with her
sister city.

BIG SCHEME ON HAND BY
MONTECIT0 CAPITALISTS
Famous Scenic Highway to Be utiI-

California's Best Auto
Roadways

Plans for an automobile toll road
along the beach from Santa Barbara
to Ventura destined to be the most
famous scenic highway in California
will come to a head next week when
a committee of business men and su-
perVisors Of Ventura county meet in
Santa Barbara with four Santa Bar
bara and Montecto capitalists to dis
cuss the granting of a franchise by
Ventura county in return for which
local men offer to form a stock com
pany and to build the road at a cost
of from $4,000 to $2O0,0 ,000 The engi-
neer for a large construction company
has made a favorable report and CAPT
tai is already available. The road
would skirt the bench the entire dis
tance and eliminate Casitas pass,
which has been a great drawback for
the up-coast trip to motorists. Local
capitalists interested are Francis r.

UsInu Up Leather

At the recent leather trade exhibi-
tion held in London it was learned that
motoring was responsible for use of a
good deal more leather than was for
merly the case. The officials of the
exposition said that the upholstery
work of the motor cars was demanding
a large amount of leather which previ-
ously was not required for vehicles
which the automobile had displaced.

is USEFUL ALLY OF FARMERS
Piover Destroys Various Insects That
Damage Crops, 10 Assertion Of
English Publication.

OF all our birds the plover Is absO-
lutely the most useful on the land,
and we have the authority Of the
board of agriculture for saying that
"the multiplication of insects injurious
to crops" is the direct consequence
of the fashion for plovers' eggs.
The bird destroys snails, wireworms,
beetles and all sorts of noxious in
sects that damage crops. AS it feeds
largely at night 1t destroys many In
sects that other birds do not touch,
and it has also a peculiar virtue In
killing a water snail which indirectly
is the cause of liver rot, q deadly dis
ease in sheep.
Plover have been more than usually
numerous this year, and no doubt IL
their eggs were protected, as in Scot
land, they would multiply yet more
and save many thousands Of pounds
that are now spent on the fattening
Of the wireworm. It ia becoming also
more popular practice to keep lovers
as garden pet. They do incalcuiable
good and are very interesting to
watah, especially az this season--Lon-
