SUNSET CARS WINNING
THEIR WAY IN POPULARITY
Pioneer Auto Exchange Making Good
Gains in Sales-A Light Car,
but of Great Power

A car that is winning popular favor
is the Sunset" which in the hands of
the Pioneer Auto Exchange has been
brought to the attention of the public,
and is daily gaining the favor of large
cientage because of the merits of the
car itself
The first Sunset was built in San
Francisco in 1905, but owing to more
favorable conditions the factory was
removed to San Jose in 1906. At the
outset of the career of the Sunset cars
the first machine was two-cycle
motor, and noted for its remarkable
high speed.
In 1904 the two cycle was changed to
that of four cylinders, but still main
tanning its already made reputation for
being a small but very high powered
automobile, capable of establishing and
maintaining a very high rate of speed.
1t has a goodly number of speed vic
tories to it's credit Among these was
the race at Fresno, when a car driven
by Frank Free made five miles in 5
minutes and 40 seconds; another 10-mile
event in 10 minutes 3 seconds, and in
the last twenty-four hour race in Los
Angeles the little Sunset made nice
score.
The Sunset is built in three distinc
tive styles, namely, the up-to-date
roadster, pony tonneau and the gener
ally wanted touring car.
Manager Duck reports an increasing
demand for the Sunset, and demonstra-
tions are being requested from a large
number of prospective buyers.

RESTAURANT MAN AFTER
SCALP OF FUEL DEALER
c. C. AIbachton Demands Warrant for
James Albert for Strenuous Meth-
DDS While Collecting

c. c. Albachton. proprietor of a res
taurant at 633 South Spring street,
swore to a complaint in police court
yesterday charging James Albert,
fuel dealer, with battery.
Albachton was a customer of Albert,
who is connected with a feed and fuel
store on Central avenue. Friday night
Albert is alleged to have entered the
restaurant of Albachton and demanded
that the latter pay fuel bill of 49, Al
bachton is said to have told Albert to
return the following day for the money.
This Albert refused to do and it is
asserted began using profane language,
emphasizing his remarks by striking
the restaurant man in the face. There
were several customers present at the
time and they became so frightened
that they hurried out without paying
their bills.
The disturbance attracted the atten-
tion of the cook who arrived knife in
hand, just as Albachton was disen-
gaging himself from pots and PANS. AL
bert saw the long knife, which the cook
had just been using in cutting meat.
and without further ceremony hurried
out of the place.

INTEREST IN GOOD
ROADS IS NATIONAL
JOHN D. SPRECKELS AND
SPALDING DELEGATES
1910 Convention Will Be Largest OF
Kind Ever Held in This Coun-
try and Certain to Do
Good

Resnonses from governors of twenty
five states and the mayors from scores
of cities have been received by the
national convention committee or the
second annual national good roads con-
vention. to be held at Cleveland, o.,
September 81, % and %. In many cases
these officials have named their Of
fetal delegates and, judging from the
interest that the purposes of the con-
vention have aroused in all parts OF
the country, the coming meeting Will
not only be the largest of its kind ever
held in America, but Is certain to be
productive of farreaching results in
the national good roads movement.
1t is a significant fact that among
the favorable responses already re-
ceived to send delegates, the southern
and far western states are particularly
we'll represented. There has been
gradually Increasing interest in favor
of good roads throughout the south
during the past year, and this sentl-
ment has been clearly reflected in the
replies received from many governors
and other officials. Charles p. Light,
commissioner of public roads OF
Charleston, w. Va, has Endorsed the
aims of the convention and will be
present with the state engineer. Gov
ernor Haskell of Oklahoma has prom
ised that his distant but very energet-
ic state will be represented, while Gov
ernor Benson of oregon says: THE
objects of this convention meet with
my hearty approval and | shall be very
glad to name five of our most prom
inent citizens as delegates at an early
date
An interesting letter was received by
Secretary Elliott last week from Mayor
Grant Conard of San Diego, Cal, who
named FIVE delegates, including John
D. Spreckles and A. G. Spalding. head
of the we'll known sporting goods firm,
and who has a large estate near San
Diego. Mayor Kreismann of st. Louis
has appointed as the representatives
from that city Samuel d. Capen, pres
ident of the st. Louis Automobile club,
and the park and street commissioners.
Carl Fisher, who took so active part
in promoting the new indianapolis mo-
tor speedway. has been named by the
mayor of Indianapolis to represent that
city, together with A. c. NeWby ana
H. o. Smith, also well-known automo-
biliStS.

RULES OF BASKETBALL
ARE CAREFULLY REVISED
National Committee of Six Makes Sew
eraI Good Changes in Various
Points

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-The rules gov
eruing the game of basketball have
been revised by the national commit
fee of six. The changes adopted are
numerous. Under the new rules the
nmpire's duties undergo a slight
change. He is no longer supposed TO
watch the man with the ball and MS
opponent. but the other eight men III
the game. The holding ana rough play
which have developed as result or tile
fact that both the umpires have IN the
mast watched the struggle over the ball
will, 1t is expected, be eliminated oy
the new ruling. This will also make
the referee work harder than ever TO
catch fouls. -,
In the future the scorekeepers VIII
be obliged to compare the score atter
each goal. and in case they do not tally
call the referee Immediately. The rel
cree must otherwise accept the larger
score. The committee made change
in the rules for dribbling which is or
great importance. Now. If the player
who is dribbling the ball down the
field stops and holds the ball at rest
in one or both hands. he will be Obliged
TO throw it for the goal or to another
PLAYER. If he wishes to continue the
dribble after stopping he must keep the
ball bouncing up and down as ne
stands.
Formerly, if three players put their
hands on the ball at once the side nav
ing two men touch the ball fouled
Now. if two players are struggling for
possession of the ball, third man
who comes into bodily contact with
either of them is penalized, but he may
reach under them and secure the ball
without a foul if he does not touch
them.
If the referee calls "Play ball" and
the members of a team for some reason
fail to take tEeir places at the end OF
the minute, the referee will throw the
hall into the air and the play is started,
anyway. An important change was
made in the boundary line. In the past
the line has been inside. Now any
player or the ball touching the line at
all is outside. The ball is outside If a
player standing on the side sizes the
ball or it is thrown to him. Glass
backgrounds for the baskets are legal
lied under the new rules. These have
until now been Illegal

INSPECTION BEFORE YOU
START SAVES TROUBLES

Before starting out each morning be
sure your gasoline tank is filled. 1t is
a good plan to carry chamois skin
and have the. gasoline strained through
it. This removes water and other for
eign matter
On long trips take an extra can
filed with gasoline. The regular sup
ply is sometimes improperly estimat-
ed, and it may run short between sta
tions where it is impossible to secure
fresh supply.
Do not fill the gasoline tank too
full; leave a little air space.
Keep the gasoline tank and all gas
oline pipe free from sediment. Above
all, see that there is no sediment in
the carburetor.
DO not fill the gasoline tank at night
unless it is necessary and then never
near an uncovered light.
Renew your supply of gasoline at
frequent intervals. even though it may
be necessary to purchase only a gal
lon to fill your tank.
When leaving the automobile stand
ing for any length of time shut off the
flow of gaSOliOp.

MEXICAN LABORER SHOT
BY AN ENRAGED HUSBAND
Bullet in Right Hip Is Reward of
Nicholas Garcia for Attentions Paid
to Mrs. Jesus Franco

Nicholas Garcia, a Mexican laborer
employed at Santa Anita, was shot in
the right hip and wounded painfully
by Jesus Franco yesterday morn
ing as the result of trouble of
long standing. The wounded man was
brought to Los Angeles and taken to
the receiving hospital, where the bull
let was removed by the police sur
geons.
Garcia is alleged to have been too
friendly with the wife of Franco and
when the men met yesterday morning
they quarreled. During the dispute
Franco drew a revolver and fired
point blank at Garcia. The bullet flew
wide of it's mark and Garcia turned
and ran. As he did so Franco fired
three more shots, the fourth bullet
striking Garcia in the right hip.
When Franco saw his last shot had
taken effect he hurried away and was
not captured.

OK HIDE USED IN MAKING
ANTI-SKID TIRES STRONG
Leather Selected with Great Care.
Only Three Strips Are Used from
Each Hide Per Tire

In developing anti-skid tires, the
ones with the now familiar steel studs
imbedded in the leather treads' the
Michelin people at first found the
greatest difficulty in securing suitable
hides at once flexible, tough and heavy
enough to stand the severe strains to
which tires of this type are necessarily
subjected. Experimentation proved that
OK hides were best for this purpose.
The leather is selected with such care
that only three anti-skid strips are
secured from each hide, the balance
being unfavorable because it's uneven
thickness and other defects make it
unsuitable.
Leather tread steel studded anti
skid tires are an original Michelin
production They are remarkably
durable, while at the same time teXi-
bility is not sacrificed. The leather
surface does not cover the whole tire,
but only the tread. the side walls re-
tanning all the resiliency that the rub
ber and frabric affords.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-09-05
National Circuit Probable

1t is now conceded in motoring circles
that 1910 will see many more regularly
organized teams. as the makers see
good advertising and publicity to be OBJ
tained in that field and also knowledge
of their product not to be obtained eX-
cept in competition with the product OF
other makers. Rumors which seem to
have good basis name. at least dozen
regularly organized teams for the sea-
son of 1910, and the organization OF
national circuit would increase the
number greatly

A. Cook, Arctic explorer, who is
now believed to be- awaiting trans.
portation home at Etah, North

Arctic club here, which sent him

that he has reached the North Pole.
Revit wing the journal he sent
home from Cape Hubbard last
year, from which point he made
his final dash Tor the pole, these
geographers note that the route he
planned to take would lead him
directly to the North Pole, provid.
ing that there vas not very unlav-
orable ice conditions.
Coupling this Information with
the tact that there have been more
iccbergs floating down into the
Atlantic ocean this spring and
much earlier than ever before, the
scientists believe they are sale in
predicting that DIR. Cook was not
hampered by uniavorable ice con.
ditions and that he therefore reach.
