FOOTHILL CITY SOON MAY
HAVE MODERN HOSTELRY
Many Answers Received from Adver=
tisement for a Reliable Capitalist.
Board of Trade Backing Project

MONROVIA, Oct. 2O.-Many answers
have been received by Walter Dunn in
answer to an advertisement for a capi-
talist to erect an up-to-date hotel in
the foothill city. 1t is believed by all
local business men that the hostelry
would prove a paying venture from the
start. The only hotel which Monrovia
can boast at the present time was built
many years ago and is ranked as Il
second class hOstelry.
The project to build new hotel was
broached two years ago, and for some
time it was believed that a modern
building would be erected. At the last
minute the plan fell through owing to
lack of funds. Should reliable party
become interested it is believed that
the city council will do everything in
its power to make the cost Of the land
as low as possible. The question of a
liquor license has not been brOached
and what action will be taken in re-
gard to same is as yet a matter of con-
lecture. 1t is believed by the majority
that should the hotel be built that the
license will be forthcoming. Definite
steps toward the erection of the hotel
will undoubtedly be taken within the
next few months. The board of trade
is backing the project.

POSTMASTER DROPS
DEAD UNEXPECTEDLY
OFFICIAL AT THE CAPITAL
DIES SUDDENLY
Man Who Came Into LimeIight When
He Elected Woman from White
House Expires of Heart
Disease

WASHINGTON Oct. 2O-Benjamin
W. Barnes. postmaster of this city,
and who served first as executive clerk
under President Mckinley and later
as assistant secretary to President
Roosevelt, dropped dead here tonight
of heart failure.
Mr.. Barnes had been in particularly
good humor today over the fact that
he had today been admitted to prac-
tice before the supreme court Of the
District of Columbia.
On at least two occasions Mr.. Barnes
came prominently into the limelight.
One was at the time he was alleged
to have played a part in ejecting Mrs.
Minor Morris, a sister of Representa-
tive Hull of Iowa, from the White
House. The event caused a sensation
at the time.
President Roosevelt stood resolutely
by Mr.. Barnes and further emphasized
hiss friendship by appointing him,
about three and a half years ago, as
postmaster
A storm of protest was raised by
Washingtonians against the appoint
ment, the principal objection being
that he was not local man, although
Mr.. Barnes had lived here for about
a quarter of a century.

ALL IN READINESS FOR
PORTOLA CONTESTS
CRACK DRIVERS WILL PILOT
CARS OVER COURSE
Ample Accommodations for Sight
seers and Distinguished
Spectators

Everything is practically in readiness
for the Portola road race, to be held
on the Oakland course Saturday, Octo-
ber %. All of the preliminary arrange
ments and details nave been completed
and the course is in fine condition for
record driving.
Most of the racing drivers and their
cars are established in training camps
along the famous foothill boulevard,
have developed enough speed to war
rant the expectation of several new
records for stock cars. A team of two
cars with D. A. Bonney and Charles
Soules driving; the Apperson, with
Harris Hanshue driving; the six-cylin-
der Stevens-Duryea, with Cliff On
thank driving; the Knox, with Frank
Free at the wheel; the Buick, with
Frank Murray; the Lexington, with
Gordon Murray, and the Maxwell, with
c. o. King are among the drivers and
machines now on the course.
The Apperson Jack Rabbit, which
won the Santa Monica road race, is ex-
pected to be one of the strongest COM
petitors in the race. This car holds
the worlds record for stock car road
racing and with Hanshue at the wheel,
is one of the strongest competitors for
the racing honors. In fact, the class
of cars that are entered will result in
some of the cleverest and most daring
kind of driving All of the local
drivers have powerful cars, and, pitted
as they are against the best southern
and eastern racing drivers, the rivalry
will perhaps bring out the fastest road
race ever held on the coast.
Some Distinguished spectators
Big preparations have been made to
accommodate the spectators. An i'm
mense grandstand will give the people
every chance of seeing the start and
finish. All of the resident officials OF
the old countries, including consuls,
naval and other dignitaries, also the
king and queen of the Portola, the
governor and the mayors of all the
state cities will occupy boxes.

"BELLoWING DEMAGoGUE" ALSO
MAKES SPEECH
New YorI<'s MayoraIty Campaign Goes
On Apace, with Numerous Incl
dents to EnIIven the
Contest
IBy Associated Press. ]

NEW YORK, oct. 2Q-This was an
other night of whirlwind speech max
ing in the municipal campaign, but
the three candidates brought out moth
ing new in the way of personal attacks.
William r. Hearst the Independent
nominee, delivered four speeches In
New York Otto T. Barnard, the Re-
publican nominee, spoke three times
in Brooklyn and then appeared at
Carnegie hall, New York before big
fusion gathering, and William j. Gay
nor, the Democratic nominee, appeared
in Brooklyn.
Mr.. Hearst opened with an attack
on Gaynor and Tammany, reviewing
his efforts in behalf of the people
through his newspapers.
Mr.. Gaynor referred smilingly to
his first visit to Tammany hall last
night.
"I have bearded the tiger in his
den" he said, land have faced that
dreaded animal without a qualm, and
1 am now convinced nothing on earth
can make me afraid
"BelIowlng Demagogue"
Gaynor referred to Hearst as bel
lowing demagogue who has never yet
read the city charter.
OF Senator McCarren's Illness, he
said: 1--WE send our sympathies to-
night to one who is not here. Though
we have not all of us been able to
agree with him at all times, we can
remember the good he has done at all
events"
Gaynor announced his staunch sup
port of his association on the Demo-
cratic ticket, some of whom have been
criticised severely, particularly Geo.
f. Roesch, Tammany nominee for JUS
tice of the city court
The bar association of New York
officially denounced Roesch as mot fit
for the office" but Gaynor stood by
the ticket.
Former Mayor Seth Low, a Republi
can, was one of the principal speakers
at the Carnegie hall meeting. His
mention of Hearst brought cheering
'I am glad you applauded Mr.
Hearst" said Mr.. Low, because he is
fighting with US In this campaign
against Tammany."
Mccarren Deposed
Patrick H. McCarren, lying i'll in st.
GATHERINGS hospital, Brooklyn, is de-
posed from the Democratic leadership
of that borough, according to a report
tonight.
Insurgent, or anti-McCarren, bo-
rough tickets were withdrawn from
the Brooklyn field today with the un-
derstanding. according to rumor that
they were to cease their fight against
McCarren on consideration of his
being ousted.
The instructions, it is said, came di-
rect1y from Charles r. Murphy. Rep
resentatlves of the insurgent tickets
called on the board of elections and
requested that their names be left off
the ballot.
This leaves the McCarren ticket
alone in the field In Brooklyn, and,
while the move on one hand is said to
have been the result of sympathy for
Senator McCarren in his illness, one of
McCarren's own lieutenants said to-
night that the concessions made by
the insurgents were the direct result
of a deal to supplant him as leader.
