AUBURN MAKES
A NEW RECORD

A two-cylinder Auburn, driven by
Norman de Vaux of San Francisco. cut
over three hours off the San Francisco
to Del Monte and return record last
week, securing the Chanslor and Lyon
Del Monte cups, formerly held by a
four cylinder car. The Auburn's time
was II hours and II minutes.
This is the same make of car which
established a record of hours and 16
minutes for the San Francisco to Fres-
nc run. This record has never been
beaten.
Last May r. L. Forsyth with a Los
Angeles crew sent the Auburn from
San Francisco to Los Angeles in 20
hours Sc minutes. This record has
been beaten by only two other cars,
one costing twice as much as the Au-
burn and the other four times as much.
Norman de Vaux drove the Del
Monte record-breaker. The start was
made from San Francisco at $40 a. m.
The road was not in shape for record
breaking but once started De Vaux
did not permit the mud and water
from the early weeks rain to stop him.
He took many a risk skidding around.
but once the San Juan grade was
topped conditions became better and
the car was opened up to fifty miles
an hour J. A. Bardin, prosecuting at
torney of Salinas. rode with De VauX.
Del Monte was reached at 1915 and
after a fifteen minute stop the return
trip started. On the return trip rain
started and the run from Redwood
City to San Francisco was made in a
rainstorm.
In addition to the Chanslor and Lyon
cup De Vaux gets another cup from
Del Monte for the fine run. De Vaux
drove the car on the entire trip He
also was at the wheel Of the Auburn
which went to Fresno in such fast
time.
R. L. Forsyth, the local Auburn
agent, is contemplating going after
some Southern California records as
soon as the weather becomes settled.

Jects 10 the observation-disclosures
Not Completed at Hour of
Evening Adjournment.

Judge Thornell did not reach the city
until yesterday afternoon late, so was I'M
able to complete the hearing on the motion
of II. v. Battey to quash the Indictment
returned against him on the charge OF en-
bezzling county funds while serving az
clerk OF the district court. on the alleged
grounds that the grand jury had been
coerced into returning the Indictment after
It had voted to report a no bill. The hear
ing will be resumed this morning by Judge
ThorneIl. although the January term closed
yesterday afternoon and the March term
will open this morning with Judge o. D..
Wheeler on the bench.
Four OF the members OF the grand jury
which returned the indictment against Bat
tey on February 20 we're examined yester-
day afternoon. Their testimony was some
what conflicting. Juror Schrerbrock test-
fled that when County Attorney Hess APP
peared before the grand jury at the time
complained OF he seemed to be angry" and
insisted that an indictment should be re-
turned against Battey. On the other hand,
Juror m testified that Mr.. Hess did
nothing of the kind and that when he APP
peared before the Jury he merely explained
to II some OF the matters in connection
with the case.
The hearing yesterday afternoon de-
veloped the fact that the county attorney
appeared before the grand jury at the sug-
gestion OF the court
Counsel for Mr.. Battey laid special stress
on the fact that the records of the proceed
ings of the grand Jury show that on Feb
ruary 10 that body voted no bills in the
two cases against his client and that on
February 20, after reoonsidering its action,
1t returned an indictment on the embezzle-
ment charge only.
objection to Action of Court.
During the progress Of the hearing coun-
sci for Battey objected to Judge Thornell
interrogating the witnesses. c~ontending
that the court did not represent the county
and was not there as counsel for either
side.
The following are the members of the
grand jury which will be impaneled today
by Judge Wheeler:
p. II. Moran, Kane; william Husz, Silver
Creek; +. OstertaS, Rockford; c. l. Prouty,

walk; II. j. Schrerbrock, Nicola; A. X.
Chambers. Hardin; B. f. Kock, Minden;
H. c. Jenkins, Lewis, and J. Winding,

1t is expected that the grand jury will be
called upon to devote considerable time to
investigating charges against Maybray and
his alleged gang of swindlers. A number Of
the victims Of the gang are expected here
to appear before the grand jury.
Judge Wheeler yesterday morning issued
temporary restraining orders in the suits
brought by ]. H. Cupp against F. j. West
and S. P. Williams, and Thomas and Mag
