MAYOR VETOES MEASURE
CALLING BOND ELECTION
Believes Time Not Propitlous for Pur-
chase of $4,000 Worth of
Fire Apparatus

SANTA MONICA, Nov. 12.-Mayor
T. H. Dudley doesn't believe this is
propitious time to ask the people of
Santa Monica to vote bonds to the
amount of $4,000 for the purchase of
two automobile fire engines. Accord
ingly he will return without his APPROVAL
to the council at its next meeting Ordi-
nance No. 80, adopted recently which
provides for a special election Decem-
ber to vote on the bond question.
The mayor made this announcement
today.
Although the fire department is
sorely in need Of additional apparatus,
1t is not expected that the council viii
pass the ordinance over the mayor S
head. Mayor Dudley says he favors
the purchase of the equipment, but
thinks the people would refuse to vote
the bonds and therefore sees no wis
dom in calling an election. The special
election Is called for the second day
following the coming primary election.
The proposed issue of 100000 is to be
include the purchase of the two en-
gines. the extension of the Venice and
Ocean Park high pressure salt water
system and repairs and improvements
to the fire department. One of the
vehicles which it is planned to buy is
70-horse power fire engine with a
capacity of 700 gallons minute. The
other is a combination 40-horse power
chemical machine and hose and ladder
wagon.

FAILED TO GET BEAR
AND LOST TROUSERS
Michigan Man Has Hard Luck When
He Tries to Capture a
Cub

MARQUETTE, Mich, Nov. 12.-Home
from a fishing trip to the Salmon Trout
river. BENJAMIN Fritz of Birch, Mar
duette county reports thrilling expe-
rience with a large black bear, He
found the bear not only of an ugly dis
position, but a very fast runner.
While the rest of the party were
pitching the tents Fritz went up
stream to see how the country looked
and possibly to try for a few trout for
dinner. He had been gone but short
time when he espied a bear and two
cubs. Thinking that one of the cubs
would be Just what the party wanted
in the way of fresh meat, but not being
armed with a gun, he ran after and in
some way managed to corner and catch
one of the young animals, and then
hied for the river, which was only a
short distance away.
Fritz said he had heard that If per-
son once got young bear In his hands
the mother would not interfere. To
Fritz sorrow, however, this mother
proved an exception, for she took after
him and before he reached the waters
edge she reached out with her paw,
with the result that Frit lost part of
his trousers. 1t is not necessary to say
that Fritz dropped the cub without
further hesitation. The mother then
gave him no further trouble.
Had 1t not been for one of Mr.. Fritz
kind friends at Big Bay, who loaned
hi l a pair of overalls, Ben would have
had quite a time getting home. AS 1t
was he walked four miles out of his
way for fear that he might meet some
person who knew him. He has vowed
to never again attempt the capture of
a bear cub unless fully armed.

FRANK FREE BACK
AND WILL DRIVE lS0TTA
Permanently Engaged by Motor Car
Import Company as Racing
Driver.

Frank Free, the celebrated driver Of
racing automobiles, arrived in Los
Angeles from Phoenix yesterday and
was a caller at The Herald office last
night. He reports that he Is more
than pleased with the performances
of the Isotta Fraschini car, which he
drove in the Phoenix races, winning
both events in which the car was en-
tered and breaking the Pacific coast
record. The car averaged but frac"
ton over mile a minute for the en-
tire fifty miles and Free states that
what she can do when given her limit
of speed is only conjecture, but in the
event of being up against hard race
1t will surprise the coast people what
this great italian car Will show In
speed.
Frank Free has closed deal with
the Motor Car Import company
through Fred c. Fenner, president, by
which he enters the employ or the
company permanently as racing driv-
er. demonstrator and general sales
man, and he will next be seen on the
track at Ascot park November 20 ana
21 when this famous car will be en-
tered in the events to which she Is
eligible.
The winning of the two big events
at Phoenix by the Isotta in the hands
of Free again bears out the confidence
of this paper in this young drivers
ability, which by this time will not be
questioned, 1t is to be presumed. And
in the meantime the sweeping cnal-
lengers" of unascertainable locatlon
have never covered the deposit Of Free
with The Herald for their much
yaunted blather-at least their coin Is
not in evidence. Much talk is blurred
about that there is letter in exis-
tence signed by Carlson, making the
offer to run Free, but for some reason
IL is not produced, and Carlson denies
that there ever was such a letier-ahu
Carlson comes mighty near being a
truthful young man.

AL LIVINGSTONE WILL
DRIVE THE CORBIN
Racing Lovers May Expect to See
Some Whlrlwind Events Next Time
Fast Cars Meet, as corbin
Has Been Tickled

Gradually the good ones are coming
to the front through the publicity OF
The Herald's automobile department.
Frank Free Is now with the Motor Car
Import company under engagement as
racing driver Of the big Italian car
Isotta, the greatest stock car in the
world. This left the great little car,
Corbin, without her old driver. But
that did not daunt the Corbin people
at ALL for %. A. Heune and Mr.. Rise
have plucklly given their attention to
putting the little winner in the finest
shape she has ever been in, and is to-
day miles faster per hour than when
Free was at her wheel on the track.
Next time the Corbin Is seen on the
track she will be plloted by Al Living
stone, one of the nerViest, fastest and
most thorough drivers of fast cars on
the coast Livingstone has had years
of experience on the track with such
experts as Barney Oldheld Charley
Soules and others, and has held the
wheel himself in some terrific races.
He has been handling the Royal Tour
list and gave as fine demonstration
of the capacity and endurance of car
as was ever seen. His driving of this
powerful car elected the most conn
mendable enthusiasm from all who saw
the big car make her rounds of the
track lacking in the terrific speed of
her rival, the Corbin, but having
proved her capability, retired from the
speedy track of lighter cars.
Livingstone may be expected to make
a showing here, as he is now in the
best Of form, and nothing will give him
more pleasure than to take a chance
at his friend Frank Free, even If the
latter is sitting on the seat of the big
italian. It is certain that Living
n IN ct "a = 9 q CnThln
make a showing that will astonish the
spectators.
An incentive to drive to victory will
be present in the encouragement OF his
most estimable and beautiful wife,
who is as enthusiastic a motorist as Is
her husband, and this charming little
woman frequently acts as this fearless
drivers mechanician on the track, and
she is a good one, too. Patrons of the
racing events may expect to see some
fast driving next time the fast cars
meet.

SLATE FOR SCHOOL
BOARD IS IN FIELD
KNOWN GENERALLY AS THE
CITIZENS TICKET
Candidates for Santa Monica Munc-
ipal Offices Still Dubious Regard
ing Toneht's Non-Partisan
Political Meeting
Especial to The Herald.l

SANTA MONICA, Nov. 12.-Robert
M. Miller, secretary of the Santa
Monica school board, is receiving a
great deal Of good-natured "joshing"
because the part he is supposed to
have had in the selection of a slate
for the school board, which appeared
in the race at the last moment. The
slate is composed of j. ID. Blanchard,
DR.. Lynn II. Case, James b. Pollock,
John c. Porter and Claudius w. Rog-
ers. 1t is known generally as the
Citizens ticket"
Miller has been secretary of the
school board for several years. Po-
litlcians opposed to the ticket sup
ported by him declare that he named
several of the candidates without their
permission, although this is denied by
Miller. Voters are being asked to
cast their ballot solid for the five men
named, as there is a strong movement
on foot to defeat, if possible, the two
women candidates for school trustee
Mrs. j. J. Seymour and Mrs. d. G.
stephens. Advocates of the Miller
ticket say they have no patience with
the plan of having women on the
school board. They insist that women
should remain out of politics, es-
pecially politics in Santa Monica, and
are making an active campaign to this
end.
Both women have already obtained
the solid support of the various
woman's clubs Of the city, and much
influence is welded by the latter here.
The Crescent Bay Woman's club is the
latest society to indorse the candidacy
Of Mrs. Stephens and Mrs. Seymour.
There was today considerable specu-
lation as to the number of candidates
who will attend the special mass meet
ing of citizens to be held tomorrow
night at the city hall. 1t was
authoritatively given out that the ad-
ministration candidates, including
probably Mayor Dudley, would not be
on hand at the meeting, as they de-
clare they fail to see why any one
can call a meeting of this kind and
compel them to get up before the peo-
pie and explain their platforms.
It is reported that number of citi-
zens representing the committee which
called the meeting will check up the
candidates present out of the total
number of forty-one, and this will be
used against the absent ones in the
campaign on the theory that the lat
rer are afraid to come out into the
open. Because of the woman candi-
dates in the race for school board, it
is expected that many women will be
among the crowd at the city hall to-
morrow night.

STRANG SETS TERRIFIC
PACE IN Ills FIAT
TIME FOR FIRST TEN MILES
WAS 1882
Blows Up a Tire In Seventeenth Lap,
Which Threw Him Out Of the
Running, or Would Have
Beaten Robertson
tBy Associated Press. ]

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 12.-Today's
automobile races reached their climax
when George II. Robertson. driving a
60-horse power Fiat, lowered the Amer
minutes and seconds. He made the
distance In 40:14:2. The previous record
was held by John N Aiken. Aiken,
who drove a National second in today's
race, and Stil1man, who came in third
in a Marmon. both bettered the In
dianapolis mark. Aiken made the dis
tance in 43:11;41 and Stillman in
43:S0:56.
Eight cars ctarted and five finished.
Lewis Strang, plotting his 200-horse
power Fiat, set a terrific pace in the
first seventeen miles, but in tho
eighteenth as he was passing the
judges stand the tire of his rear right
wheel exploded. This compelled his
withdrawal, as 1t was impossible with
the special design OF the car to make a
quick replacement of tires. His time
for the first ten miles was 7:1S:32.
Strang Travelled on an average of
three seconds a mile faster than
Robertson, and on this basis 1t is
figured that had he been able to finish
the race he would have gone the fifty
miles in four minutes less than the
time made by Robertson.
Hugh Harding, driver OF the Apper-
son Jackrabbit, had a hard time trying
to keep out of the pocket made for him
by the two drivers, Lorimer and Ding
ley. On the twenty-seventh mile, while
Lorimer was at the left of him and
slightly in advance and Dingley close
behind on the right, Harding made an
attempt to escape from the pocket.
Lorimer blew tire, running against
the fence and losing a Wheel Harding
was about six feet behind when he also
blew a tire, but managed to avoid run
ming into his rival. A more serious ac-
cident occurred during the practice
hour when a specially designed, high
powered Pope-Toledo valued at $4,000
was wrecked. II. j, Fitzpatrick, driver,
and r. G. Church, Mechanician, were
thrown 150 feet from their seats, but
fesl in bedding of underbrush and
escaped with slight injuries. The ear
was total loss.
The blowing up Of Strang's tire gave
Robertson the lead at the end of the
twentieth mile He was followed by
Aiken, Harding, Lorimer, Stillman,
Dingley and Disbrow, the last named
in a Rainier.
After the accident to Harding and
Lorimer Stillman occupied the place
until the finish. In his forty-second
mile Aiken was compelled to replace
a tire. The tire was changed in a
minute and half and the star driver
of the national team was able to re
sumo without losing his position as
second in the race. The weather today
was warm and inviting and the largest
crowd of the meeting witnessed the
event.

A BIG FACTORY
FOR THIS CITY
BIG MOTOR CAR COMPANY IS
ALREADY ORGANIZED
Capital All Paid In and Manufacture
of Car Parts VIII Be Main
Feature and .uburn
Cars

Another Industrial enterprise is
about to be set going in this rapidly
growing Greater Los Angeles of ours
that will help along the wheels of in
dustry and add another to the ever
growing enterprises that are attract
ing attention to this city.
A recently incorporated concern has
been fully launched on the books of
the secretary Of state at Sacramento
which will be known to the world as
the Burt Motor Car company of Los
Angeles. The company is capitalized
at $4,000, and one of the pleasant fea-
lures of the new corporation Is the
fact that all OF the stock has been
subscribed by private parties and the
company will be in full operation by
January 1.
The president of the corporation is
w. j. Burt, who for the past three
years has been the efficient superin-
tendent of the Auto Vehicle company
of this city, and whose skill has de-
signed all of the cars of that COM
pany and turned them out In the great
numbers to be seen upon the streets OF
this city, every part OF their construc-
tion coming under keen personal OBJ
servation of Mr.. Burt.
Mr.. Burt has resided in Los Angeles
for the past five years, and for that
period has been closely and intimately
associated with the automobile manu-
featuring and business appertaining
thereto. For sixteen years he has been
the mechanical and expert head of
several of the best known factories in
the country, and for twenty-three
years practical machinist.
The business of the Burt Motor Car
company will be the manufacture OF
Tourist car parts. which they will
make a speciality of, and parts also for
the Auburn cars. The Auburn car
will also place their agency with the
Burt Motor Car company, and 1t is
the intention of that company to wage
an aggressive campaign of car-selling
throughout the southern part of the
state.
The Auburn car needs no introduce
tion to the public of this section of
the country, it's well known qualities
keeping 1t wei. before the eye OF the
critical public.
Quarters have been arranged at the
corner of Main and Tenth streets,
where the salesrooms OF the company
will allow for a splendid display or
the cars, and in the rear Will be the
repair shop, which will be one of the
most complete in the west, while the
factory for the manufacture of parts
will also be conducted right there also.
Due announcement will be made OF
the opening of the new Burt company s
quarters, and the general public Will
wish the new concern all the success
possible, for it adds another enterprise
to a rapidly growing city.
