neys In the recent litigation will be

master to take testimony. An agree
ment win also be reached as to the
method OF carrying out the orders
which will be made by Judge Jones ac-

Court OF Appeals.
Some weeks ago attorneys for the
railroads acquainted Attorney General
CARRIER OF the fact that It would take
some time to prepare q new schedule
of the rates according TO the terms Of
the rate legislation and q request was
made that the enforcement OF the man
date be held until June /. After dis
cussion the attorneys for the State de-
cided to grant the request Of the rail-
roads, and June / was the time fixed |
for the enforcement OF the new rates. |
While the new rates have therefore |
been In force since June I. the man
date of the United States Court of APP
peals has not yet been received by
Judge Jones. A letter received by At |
torney General CARRIER, dated May 81. |
from Charles II. Lednuni, Clerk of the
Circuit Court of Appeals, in New Or |
leans, stated that 1t was impossible for
the Clerk to get out the mandate by |
June /, in the Alabama rate cases. The |
letter stated that the judgments Of the |
lower courts in each case amounted TO |
about sixteen typewritten pages, and
1t was necessary that these judgments
appear in the mandate. To copy these |
judgments would take three or four |
days, the clerk stated, and 1t would be
about June Q or before the mandate
could possibly be sent to Montgomery. |

TO BUY PORTRAIT.
Art Lover Comes To Rescue OF Gov.
ernment OF Dennsarlk.


ernmemt OF DenMAark.
London. June According to an
evening Newspaper. the money, neces-
sary to secure Holbein's portrait Of
Christiana, Duchess Of Milan. for the
nation, has been provided by veal
thy west country art lover.
Apart from the governments contri-
button OF $4,000 the public subscrip-
lions have amounted to only $4,000.
Consequently the philanthropist who
has come to the rescue has had to
provide $4,000 to make up the price
to $ss0.000.
The famous Holbein-- portrait OF
Christiana Of Denmark had been loan
ed by the Duke OF Norfolk to the ma
tionai gallery for twenty-eight years.
1t was recently sold by the Duke for
$s50,0o0 to an artist but with the un-
derstanding that the nation might pur-
chase IL within a month for s350, 600.
The national gallery had no resour-
ces and an appeal was made to the
public to prevent the picture leaving
the country. 1t Is supposed to have
been bought by the art dealer for an
American client.

MORE GOSSIP
ABOUT CALL
Speculation as to What
It Will Include.
THE GOVERNOR IS SILENT
Compulsory Education Bill May Be
Taken Up.
In BANQUET Speech at Auburn the Cow
ernor Said Some Very strong
Things About Compulsory Ed-
ucatien and the Treasury
The GOVERNOR IS SILENT

From the deliverances OF Governor
Conner at the Auburn alumni banquet
Monday night, 1t may be inferred that
he will include in his call for the ex-
ira session of the Legislature this
summer, a demand for afscompulsory
education bill. He has probably re-
ceived from the administration mem
bers of the Legislature assurance that
they will support such a proposition.
And it is to be presumed that his re-
cent jump from school to school, and
college to college. has confirmed him
in his advocacy Of compulsory educa-
ton.
What else the call will embrace no
one as yet knows. It Is practically
certain, however. that Greater Birming-
ham will again be made possible by
lsgisiativs sanction. II started the
first talk OF the extra session. and
many still think that 1t was pressure
from that source that decided His Ex-
cellency In the matter Of the call.
There are other minor but urgent
matters that should be included In the
call. because there would hardly be any
fight on their adoption. Among these
are laws making little higher appro-
prfation for the removal OF prisoners
when captured--the fund has been al
ready exhausted this year; the payment
OF the advertising accounts with coun-
~ newspapers, which printed last year
the long proclamations of the Cover
nor. on the proposed constitutional
amendments In the general election,
! the bills aggregating something like
$4,000, none OF which, 1t is said. has
been paid, and probably the matter Of
refunding to the ex-saloon keepers Of
Cullman the unrsued portion Of their
liquor licenses which were issued to
them for payment for the entire year
Of 1908. The latter used the licenses
only about six months.
Ala Railroad Communication.
Then, too. with all this may come
recommendations for re-enacting the
Johns pistol act. or a similar statute,
which was recently nullified by the
Supreme Court; the re-enactment of the
sc-called drugs act, which though not
actually declared void by the Supreme
Court. would probably fall in the test;
re-enactment or betterment of laws at
tempting to give to the Railroad Com
mission supervision or river boat traf-
nc. At present II Is said that the
Commission cannot enforce a maximum
rate on the rivers. those sections OF the
special session act OF 1907, being void
which delegated such power.

MANAGER BUICK
RACING TEAM
OUTS OLD firm
PICKENS RESIGNS AND STRANG
GOES WITH HIM
REPORTED THAT A STRING OF
DRIVERS WILL FOLLOW THEM
Barney oldfield to Head Big orsani-
zation of Racing Drivers and
the Benz Is to Be
Their Car

It is now announced that William
H. Pickens, manager of the famous
Buick racing team, composed OF Lewis
Strang, Louis Chevrolet, Bobby Bur
man. and a number of other star
drivers, had resigned his position with
the Flint, Mich, concern to become
racing manager of q strong team to
be organized by the Benz Import COM
pany. simultaneously, 1t was an
nounced that Lewis Strang. until the
last year foremost racing driver in the
country, had left the Buick concern
to ioin the Isotta Import company.
The two designations, coming on the
same day, gave rise to the report that
the Buick racing team Is about to dis
band The Buick team has been the
strongest in the field this season, Win
ming a majority of the big road races
in the middle west, south and east. The
team won the Cobe trophy over the
Crown Point, Ind, course last summer,
and Chevrolet and Burman have won
no end of big events since then. 1t
will be a severe blow to the Buick
concern to lose both Pickens and
Strang.
1t could not be learned last night
whether Chevrolet and Burman VIII
continue with the Buick company, but
it can be stated that great effort will

On Strang's announcement of his IN
tention to leave the Buick company
w. C. Durant, head of the concern,
presented the daring young driver
with the car in which he won the G.
& j. trophy race at indianapolis. In
addition, Strang received a one-third
share of the $4,000 bonus presented
to the Buick team for winning the
Cobe trophy. Strangs work with the
Isotta Import company will be
watched with interest, and 1t is hoped
that he will repeat the victories he
scored in the Briarcliff and Lowell
road races.
William Pickens sailed for Europe
last Saturday to look after several
racing cars now in the course of con-
struction in the big German factory
for use in America. One of the cars
is a 200-horse power machine, to be
used by Barney Oldfield, and 1t is
understood that the Benz concern is
going into the racing game on large
scale, and Pickens was selected as the
ablest man in his line to manage the
team that is to be organized by the
company.

show with the purpose of defeating
the recommendations reported to the
meeting, but the vote was so close that
the matter could easily be reconsidered
and it would appear that moments
reflection on this matter would sug-
gest the advisability of so doing.
There can scarcely be a doubt that
the turnstiles would record admissions
far in excess of any previous show
ever held here. the exhibit reflect more
credit upon the automobile business Of
Los Angeles than any previous one,
and the public more generally inter
ested than it has ever been, because
almost daily it is a matter of general
interrogation, "Is there to be an au-

AT LAST AUTO
CAR HAS AGENT
LIVE MAN COMES TO TAKE
CHARGE OF BUSINESS
Autocar Trucks and Delivery Wagons
to Be Special Feature of COM
pany Putting Out First
Class Cars

At last the Autocar is to have
live representative in this city and
the company has awakened to the
fact that there is such place as Los
Angeles on the map, and that some
cars and delivery wagons are being
sold here occasionally.
M. S. Bulkley, thoroughly posted
automobile man from the east, mas
been assigned to this district and has
assumed charge of the Autocar
agency, and the company will un-
doubtedly notice within a very short
time that cars can be sold in this city
when there is some one here to sell
them.
Motor car delivery has long ago dem
onstrated an all around superiority
over horses the only question open IS
as to the best car for your purpose.
Autocar trucks and delivery wagons
have been giving economical and con-
tinuous service for years, to many
eastern firms of national reputation,
who will be glad to give you exact
figures as to money earned on the in
vestment, including average cost or
upkeep.
The Autocar trucks and delivery
wagons are not, in any detail con-
verted pleasure cars, but are dis
tinct and special type of engine and
chassis, built and balanced to carry
any load to 5000 pounds, over all pos
sible road conditions. They retain all
the mechanical superiority of our
pleasure car type, gained through
twelve years experience of successful
upbuiIding in motor vehicle construc-
tion, and are guaranteed to continu-
ously deliver the goods with least
wear and tear, operating and upkeep
cost.
A denonstra ting Autocar delivery
wagon, 5000 pounds capacity, will ar
rive in Los Angeles about November
Is, and if interested, it would be well
to have an interview leading to an
early appointment for a practical
demonstration.

THREE MORE CARS IN
THE PHOENIX RACE
DORRIS, PENNSYLVANIA AND
STUDEBAKER ENTER
Over a Dozen Cars viii PIow Through
Desert Sand for Big Cash
Prizes and for the
Glory

Interest in the coming Phoenix race
grows apace. Cars are being tuned
up for what is one of the greatest
Pacific coast events. And yesterday
showed three more cars entered for
the fray. These are the Doris, Penn
sylvania and Studebaker.
John S. Mitchell, vice president of
the Automobile Club of Southern Cal
ifornia, who is representing the Mari
copa Automobile Club Of Phoenix,
yesterday received the entrance appli-
cation Of the representatives of these
cars, together with the necessary for
felt money and now form a part and
parcel of the procession of cars that
will grind their way over the desert
sands of eastern California and west
ern Arizona.
The latest entrants are cars of the
highest class. The favorite Doris
is one of the substantial machines of
automobile production and is keyed up
to fighting pitch even at this time,
and will make a place for herself in
the line we'll toward the front. Bos-
byshell and Carpenter are among the
fairest sportsmen in the automobile
business and this was manifested in
the recent Santa Ana races, when they
sent in their applications of entry to
that event and two days later were
advised that they were too late as
"only six cars could be permitted on
the track.
The Pennsylvania is of the sturdy
stock of the keystone state, famous
for it's productions of everything in
the machinery line, and the showing
made by this speedy car in the Santa
Ana races was a revelation to many
of the older heads in the automobile
kingdom and made them sit up and
take notice The fast cars have a
hard thing to contemplate in the case
of the Pennsylvania.
And along comes the Studebaker, too,
which Bert Latham, one of Los An
geles most popular and we'll known
drivers will probably pilot, and the
manner in which Latham held onto the
wheel of Fran Free, driving the
speedy Corbin in the Santa Ana races,
shows that the Studebaker, now that
it has made its appearance in the rae
ing game, must be taken into serious
consideration when it comes to figur-
ing up scores.
Mr.. Mitchell of the Hollenbeck hotel
has labored assiduously to make the
Phoenix race for 1909 a great and big
success and has done so when 1t is
considered that over dozen of the
best cars on earth are to go after the
lucrative jackpot in the purses Of
fered and the glory of the event if
they win, as we'll as all the banquets
and Hot Springs resort, where bills
are to be stamped I'D. H." and handed
the owners, drivers and mechanicians
-and by the way-the newspaper men.

No RenauIt in Races

There will be no Renault in the big
road race. r. ]. Marx, director and
agent for the company in San Fran
cisco, has received the following letter
from Paul Lacroix:
"I have decided not to put the 35-45
in the San Francisco race against
cars of a higher power. If L had
known beforehand that there was go
ing to be a free for all 1 could have
arranged to send the car, as 1 had the
60-90 in Denver, and I could have
shipped it from there. This car is now
on its way back and am expecting
it any day, but it will be too late to
send it to San Francisco You will
have for this time to stay out of it.
