LORD BRINGS DOWN
BIG MOUNTAIN LION
Automobile Put to New Use in Fol-
lowing Flight of Wounded AMI
mal-Perfect Score Made
by the E. M. F.

Stanley E. Lord of the Lord Motor
Car company has pulled off an entire
ly new stunt in the uses to winch an
automobile can be put. Last Friday
according to the story told, the versa
tile Stanley shot at, hit and ran down
a mountain lion in the public road a
few miles north of San Diego. Ihe
biz cat jumped into the road thirty
PAGES ahead of the machine, and the
first shot from .38 rifle brought him
down, but only for a minute, for on
regaining his feet the lion made a
straightaway dash down the road for
more than a mile, with Lord blazing
away at him be- ween watches of his
car.
The lion then turned at bay and
Stanley stepped from his machine TO
end the fun. A feeling akin to buck
ague" must have afflicted his trigger
finger, as the next four shots were
without effect. The lion made one
spring, and with his last the tenth
shot, Stanley placed one between the
eyes and 1t was all over. The lion
measured five feet from tip to tip.
The entire story is vouched for by
Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Ware, VINO mad

piloted to San Diego and return by Mr..
Lord. They now have the lions skin
in their possession for mounting. on
the run back from San Diego in an
entirely new car, the distance OF 19I
miles was covered in six hours fiat
The engine never missed a shot and nc
tools were used on the trip.

Orders Are Issued Against
Six Meat Corpo-
rations

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-Capiases for
the arrest of the indicted meat packers
and summonses for the six indicted
meat corporations were ordered today
by Prosecutor Garven Of New Jersey.
who will hand them over to Sheriff
Kelly for execution. The sheriff will
find out who of the indicted men are in
his jurisdiction.
MIR. GarVen said:
"The defendants know of the indict-
ments, their lawyers have conferred
about the indictments, and proceedings
will now take their regular course, 1
cannot say now just what 1 will do
after I receive the report Of the sheriff.
The logical thing for the defendants
to do Is to come into court and plead,
but the attitude of their attorneys does
not indicate that they mean to do that.
Some time this week 1 will apply for
the dissolution of the charters Of the
corporation trust company and the cor
pOrations named in this prosecution il
they fail to produce the minutes OF
their annual meetings and other records
as required by the subpoenas."
Counsel for James Bathgate, Jr., ono
of the New Jersey directors OF the meat
combine, appeared before Judges Blair
and Carey today, and bail for $2500 was
furnished for his appearance in court

COL. ROOSEVELT
ENDS HIS CHASE
FORMER PRESIDENTS PARTY
SAILS FOR KHART0UM
by Distinguished American Ex-
ceed Expectation from Stand
point of Hunt and Science

GONDOKORO, Feb. 2S. - Col.
Roosevelt and the others of his imme-
diate party sailed today for Khartoum,
where they expect to arrive March 10.
With their departure the expedition
led by the former president was prac-
tically brought to a close.
: Col. Roosevelt considers the killing
of the giant Glands in his recent ex-
cursion along the upper reaches of the
nile a fitting ending of a marvellous
ly successful trip.
The results generally, from the
standpoint of the hunter and the
scientist, have exceeded all expecta-
tions.
Col. Roosevelt and his son Kermit
large animals. The collection includes
seventeen lions, eleven elephants, 100
buffalo. ten black rhinoceros, nine
white rhinoceros, nine hippopotami,
nine giraffe, three leopards, seven
chetahs, three giant Glands, three
sables, one sitatunga and two bongos.
All these were killed in the interest
of science and the specimens will be
disposed of accordingly, the greater
number going to the Smithsonian in
stitution. Mr.. Roosevelt will retain
not more than six trophies for him.
SELF
From the point of Importance the
most highly priced game may be rated
as follows:
First, the giant Glands, the first
complete specimens of which family
are now being taken from the country;
second, the white rhinocaros; third,
the bongos, the first to be stalked and
killed by a white man; and, fourth, the
sitatunga. a species Of antelope.
The hunters secured a selection,
comprising many thousands of birds
and other mammals.
The results in this line have been
most gratifying and science will be
enriched by several new species and
an enormous series of the smaller
mammals of Africa. The game taken
and the collections made constitute q
worlds record for a similar period of
hunting and scientific research in
Africa and the American museums will
receive the greatest collection of Afri-
can fauns in existence. All agree that
too much praise cannot be accorded
r. ]. Cunninghame, the Englishman
who managed the expedition.
Col. Roosevelt will not devote his
time to writing, including the prepa-
ration of the addresses which he is to
deliver in Europe. He will do no more
hunting unless during the trip down
the Nile chance throws in his way an
opportunity to secure some rare speci-
mems.

PLAN TWO WEEKS AUTO
EXHIBIT NEXT SEASON
New York Licensed Dealers VIII Di.
vide Time Between Pleasure
and Commercial Cars

For the first time in America the
automobile trade viii have two
weeks show. Because of the many ad-
ditions to the ranks of the Selden pat
ent licenses, the Association of Lii
censed Automobile Manufacturers has
planned a double show to be held in
Madison Square Garden, New York, in
1911. The dates selected are January
TO IA for pleasure vehicles, reopening
on Tuesday, January IL and closing
on January "a, for commercial We
hicleS.
To properly care for the exhibitors,
arrangements have been made by the
show committee of the A. l.. A. M,
to rebuild the interior of the Garden,
thereby securing 10000 square feet
more floor space than has been avail
able at previous shows. This Will pc
accomplished by extending the elevat-
ed platform SO that it will be 80 feet
wide, with another platform overhead
extending from the level of the bal
cony, When this is accomplished, ana
the commercial vehicles are cared Ior
at the second week, the show commit
tee can accommodate eighty exhibitors
OF vehicles in spaces of the same size
as those used at the last snow In
other words, the new construction VIII
give sufficient room to care for all the
present Selden patent licensees. Ihere
will also be accommodations for TWEEN
tv-seven exhibitors of motorcycles ana
about 300 motor and accessory manu-
facturers. -,
The plan of a double show that Will
give proper space to the pleasure We
hicle makers and care for the tast IN
creasing number of commercial car
manufacturers, has been the subject
of long discussion among those IN
terested. and while the expense ana
work involved will exceed that OF any
nrevious exhibition, the affair Is GER
tain to be representative of the INDUS
try. ~
Work will begin early in July on the
preparation of the interior construc-
tion. which viii be made In sections
TO permit rapid installation. When the
pleasure vehicle show closes on sat
urday night, the pleasure vehicles VIII
he removed and their places taken by
commercial cars. The signs and car
nets win also be changed, but the
main decorations will be carried
through both exhibitions.
MANY of the members OF the LII
! censed association are now turning
their attention toward commercial We
hicles and will have their products
ready for the fall trade and Tor eXhl-
hilton at the January show. 1t Is pc
! liaved that the double show of 1911 VIII
exceed in all respects any previous
evhihition of motor driven vehicles

Garden company was signed by Presl-
dent Clifton of the A. l.. A. M. pelore

SHORT LINES GROWTH is
TOLD AT MERGER HEARING
Supt. Brewer Says Oregon RaiIyroad
Has Increased Its Business
Enormously in 10 Years

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-Ten years
growth of traffic on the Oregon Short
Line was summed up today by Super
intendent A. e. Brewer, testifying at
the beginning of what is expected to
be the last week of hearings in this
city on the governments suit to dis
solve the Union Pacific-Southern Pa
cific merger.
The defense has until April to intro
duce testimony and may reopen the
case at any time prior to that time.
The governments testimony was prac-
tically finished before the death of e.
H. Hartman, who was a witness in
the early stages of the inquiry.
Superintendent Brewer testified that
the increase since 1901 on the oregon
Short Line, one of the constituent
properties of the merger, was so per
cent in freight and 125 per cent in
passenger traffic. In the perior of ap-
proximately ten years $20,009000 has
been expended on improvements. Cross
examined, Mr.. Brewer said the freight
schedules on the main line, between
Granger and Huntington were about
the same today as in 1901, about the
same number of trains being operated
daily.

WORK IN NEW YORK IS
DEATH TO PASTORS

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-With the dec
laration that New York city is grave
ward for ministers, Rev. DR.. William
Carter, pastor of the Madison Avenue
Reform church. Madison avenue and
Fifty-seventh street, in giving the pas
tors point of view, said that the reason
why pastors break down in their work
and three prominent Fifth avenue pull
pits are vacant is that there is no CO.
operation and sympathy on the part
of n New York congregation for the
pastor who has to do his work alone.
"That New York city is a graveyard
for ministers is a proved fact, said
DIR. Carter after two years work !
had to go abroad for years rest, suf-
fering from a breakdown. 1 met three
other New York pastors abroad for
the same reason and for the same
length of time One died two days
after his return, and now recently an
other sudden death has left proml-
nent pulpit vacant
"Another pastor, discouraged and in
despair over his work, could not con-
tinue longer and resigned. Some years
AGO a. prominent minister, abroad for
the same reason that I went, took his
life while suffering from melancholla,
brought on by the same strain and
stress of his work.
"Wlen 1t is fedllZeQ lIdl liliCS VI tAlS
prominent Fifth avenue churches, pay
ing the largest salaries, are without
pastors and have extended call after
call, to have. them refused, it proves
that ministers are avoiding rather than
seeking New York churches.
"Some residents of New York nave
an idea that the salaries paid the
ministers here would prove attractive
not realizing, first of all, that ministers
are not in the ministry for the money
thew make out of it, and all could make
more money with their ability in some
other profession or in business line,
and. secondly, not realizing that be-
cause of the cost of living with the
larger social position that must be
maintained, salaries paid here are
lower in proportion than elsewhere.
"Ministers here are compelled to bear
the whole burden alone, instead of hav-
ing the sympathy. the support and the
hearty cooperation of the congrega-
tion. A church calls pastor and then
complacently sits back in the pews
and saws in effect: We've called you;
we're paying your salary; now go
ahead and do the work.
"No man can do this work himself.
There must be active participation on
the part of the whole congregation If
the church is to see the most efficient
service given to God and humanity"

BALLOON NEW YORK
STARTS FOR RECORD
George 3. Harrison of Los Angeles
Is Acting as Pilot for Mil.
Ionaire Clifford 3.
Harmon

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Feb. Is
Clifford b. Harmon of New York and
George b. Harrison of Los Angeles
started at 9:15 tonight in the balloon
New York ON q trip which they hope
will break the record for distance and
win the Lahm trophy, an international
cup now held by Count de la NauX
of Paris.
Conditions are ideal. The wind was
blowing gently from the south at
about fifteen to twenty miles an hour,
and as the balloon sailed gracefully
over the crowd it was headed north
west
The balloonists are prepared to re
main in the air seventy-two hours.
The balloon is carrying $4,000 cubic
feet of gas.
George b. Harrison. who is acting
as pilot for Clifford B. Harmon, the
New York aeronaut, is a Los Angeles
newspaper man. He left week ago
for san Antonio to make this flight,
which he and Mr. Harmon have hopes
will be record breaker Mr.. Harri-
son was connected with The Herald,
and as a newspaper man he became
interested in aeronautics.
During the recent aviation meet Har-
rison made a balloon ascension alone
He piloted several aerial excursions
Aviation week, and throughout demon
strated a complete knowledge Of air
currents. He conducted the only bal
loon flight which ended at Dominguez
field and it proved one of the most
spectacular features of the meet.
Mr.. Harmon, who is Il millionaire
sportsman and not inclined to pinch a
penny, took a fancy to Harrison and
his work, and at the conclusion of the
meet here the balloon New York was
taken to San Antonio with a view Of
attempting a flight to the north.
Trip Abandoned Temporarily
They fingered about the city for a
few days, but it was evident the air
movements would not permit of such
flight at the time, and it was aban-
doned temporarily, Harmon going to
New York and Harrison returning to
Los Angeles.
The preparations for the flight have
been most complete, and in telegram
to The Herald last night Harrison says
he and Mr.. Harmon are prepared to
stay up a week. Harrison considered
the condition perfect just before start
ing.
The reason for starting at night
probably will puzzle many, but this
only demonstrates the thoroughness
with which Pilot Harrison has gone
into the subject. He explains they
will profit by this, as when the rays
of the sun strike the balloon in the
morning the gas will be expanded and
give it more buoyancy, while the op-
posite would be the case at night with
a day start,

BUYERS OF CARS SPECIFY
BRAND OF TIRES WANTED

one of the surprising features of the
nreeent season, according to r. j. Fire
stone, is the large proportion of car
buvers who ask for the privilege. OF
specifying what make of tires snail
come on their cars.
"This was more noticeable at the
Chicago show than any other one TINS
season." said Mr.. Firestone, and can
not but result in the motorist securing
a better average of tire service Ior l.s
afrorts as IT is pretty well known
fact that users know and almost in
variably select the best.
"Besides this the combined influence
of these specifications encourages the
car manufactures in the adoption OF a
better grade of tire equipment and VIII
add to the popularity of his product
by lessening the liability of its buyers
to have tire trouble
