diets Fair Weather Today

present season to 11.41 inches, which is
6.94 inches behind the rainfall of last
wear at the same date The average
rainfall for this section is, however,
only 1882 inches, so the seasons total
is not so far behind as 1t would at
first seem.
The heaviest precipitation for the
storm was reported at San Luis Obs
DO, where 1872 inches fell. Following
down the coast, Fresno received IA,
Los Angeles 80, San Diego "a, River
side 81, San Bernardino .26 and Red

DRIVERS WILL
TRY PIE PAN
FORMAL MOTORDR0ME OPEN
ING SLATED FOR TODAY
Speed of Ninety Miles an Hour Is Ex-
pected and SkIddlne on New
Track Is Nearly Inn
possible

The first opportunity for speeding
cars around the new motordrome track
will be afforded drivers this after
noon, when the big "pie pam will be
formally opened. The track will be
completed today by the closing of the
hole left for hauling material.
Fast speed Is predicted by F. f.
Moscovics, vice president of the Mo
tordrome company, and 1t is believed
"A speed Of ninety miles an hour will
be recorded. The opening trials, which
will be at 2 o'clock this afternoon, will
be free to the public and the Los An
geles Pacific will run special service
on the Del Rey line to the motor
drome.
All the local and eastern drivers who
are here will be on hand with cars
to try out the track, and a large num-
ber of enthusiasts will drive their
cars down to see the tests. Although
a run of not more than half mile
has been possible so far, several drtv-
ers who have tried the track have
made better than seventy-hve miles
an hour and have demonstrated that
skidding is practically impossible, q
feature of the track which was claimed
for IL by Jack Prince from the outset.
There Is great deal of interest
among automobile men of San Fran
cisco regarding the possibilities of the
motordrome," said Hempel on his re-
turn from San Francisco yesterday.
1.-THE newspapers are all planning to
send down representatives and a large
delegation will attend the motordrome
inaugural next month from the bay
cities In addition nearly every city
in California south of San Francisco
will be represented among the visitors
to Los Angeles during the meet"

"WlLL FIGHT CLAIM
TO THE BITTER END"
Director Collier of Exposition Says
San Diego Pays No Attention
to Santa Barbara Con-
Vention

SAN DIEGO, March 22.--Relative to
the exposition conference at Santa
Barbara today, Director General d. c.
Collier of the Panama California eX-
position of san Diego said tonight:
"The action of the alleged conference
of commercial bodies at Santa Barbara
was no surprise to us. They were
drawn almost entirely from the north.
our friends, consisting of all but four
of the commercial bodies of Southern
California, refused to participate in
the conference, because they and we
knew that the conference having been
called at the instigation of San Fran
cisco, and the bodies to be invited hav-
ing been designated by the representa-
tiVes of San Francisco, there was no
other conclusion to be expected.
This will not make a particle of diff
ference in our plans. We have raised
one million dollars and are about to
raise another million, and we will fight
some compromise is offered us which
we can accept with honor to ourselves.
1.-THE most representative CONNER
cia body of Southern California
namely, the Los Angeles chamber of
commerce-has consistently stood by
us i'm the fight and refused to partici-
pate in the Santa Barbara conference.
Neither the Merchants and Manufac-
turers association nor the Los Angeles
realty board, who aid participate, were
among those originally invited to the
conference and it is a significant fact
that no other realty board in the state
was invited, except the Los Angeles
realty board, and they were not in
Vited until it became known that they
would send delegates to the conVen-
tion favorable to San FranciSco.P

PROBABLE PROTEST HALTS
CONDEMNATION OF LAND
Ordinance Making an Addition to
South Park Is Held Up for
the Present

Expecting a protest of large proper
tions TO be filed within few days the
council yesterday deferred action on
the ordinance to condemn a strip of
land on the north side of South park
for one week.
The land committee recently recon-
mended that this action be taken, and
the council instructed the city attorney
to prepare the ordinance. He presented
the ordinance yesterday morning, but
Councilman Washburn stated that he
had been informed a protest bearing
the signatures of the owners of 175,0O0
feet of frontage in the assessment dis
trict would be presented during the
week and he believed these protestants
should be given an opportunity to pre-
sent their side of the case.
Councilman O'Brien, who has been
the prime mover in the matter of con-
demning this strip of land to be added
to South park, declared that he knew
some of these signatures had been OBJ
tained by unfair means.

ATTACKS AUTO ORDINANCE
AND STAYS ITS PASSAGE
Councilman Declares Oil Dripping
Measure Would Drive Ma
chimes from City

Declaring that the passage of the
ordinance would drive every automo-
bile out of Los Angeles, Councilman
Gregory yesterday induced the coun-
ell to refer to his streets and boule-
wards committee the measure present.
ed by the city attorney yesterday pro-
hibiting automobiles from dripping oil
on the city streets and fixing a PEN
atty of 800 fine or fifty days in jail.
Every modern automobile is equip
ped with a drip pan but in spite of
all that can be done the machine will
leak" said Mr.. Gregory. IF this or
dinance becomes a law we who have
autos will either be compelled to give
them up or spend half our time in
Jail"
Emmet Wilson, deputy city attorney,
told Mr.. Gregory that he had a drip
pan under his car and did not spill
oil on the pavement, which brought
about a good-natured controversy be-
tween Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Gregory
over the merits of their respective cars.
Representatives of the Automobile
club of Southern California appeared
before the legislation committee when
this ordinance was under considera-
tion and urged its adoption.

Organize Permanently

A touch of little outside the expo
sition business was injected in the
committee on permanent organization
report that it should be made perma-
nent as the California State Assocla-
tion of Commercial Organizations and
that the next meeting should be held
at the call of the chairman.
The permanent officers are:
President, Frank II. Short, Fresno;
vice presidents. II. A. Blodgett, Bakers
field; w. M. Garland. Los Angeles; c.
Il. Humbert, Cloverdale; John e. Card
ner. Watsonvile; secretary, Wilbur
Walker. Oakland.
George A. Peck of San Pedro was a
member of the committee on perma-
nent organization.
E. d. Silent of Los Angeles and +.
@. Robert of Long Beach were MEM
bers of the committee on credentials.
Fifty-one organizations were repre-
sented, the great majority being with
in 100 miles of San Francisco.
At the close of a session abounding
with oratory OF various degrees, the
commercial conference held at the Pot
ter hotel to pass on the exposition
claims Of San Diego and San Fran
cisco, it was decided that a commit
tee should visit the sodthern city and
try to induce its aggressive citizens to
cease their efforts and leave the field
for the northern competitor.
The convention was quite enthusi-
ast'c over the matter, as 1t was be-
lieved by many that it would help
some But when the committee ap-
pointed by President Frank II. Short,
Fresno. got together a less enthusiastic
view was taken. The committee ap-
pointed included the president and
secretary of the convention and nine
others from various sections of the
state. They relieved themselves of
much labor by deciding to mail a copy
of the proceedings to the exposition
management and trust to luck that it
would do some good for the northern
part of the state.

SANTA BARBARA, March 22.-Al-
though it was evident throughout the
entire session that the delegates to the
commercial convention here today were
nearly to a man in favor of San Fran
cisco as the Panama exposition city,
nearly all found it incumbent to in
dulge in oratory.
San Diegos claims to exposition
honors were politely referred to, but
no effort was made on the part of any
one present to further the claims of the
southern city. 1t was all San Fran
cisco.
While the convention was In progress
a telegram was received from Director
Collier which stated that 1t would be
impossible for San Diego to consider
the compromise suggested. and that 1t
would continue in the fight for its
share of federal and state appropria-
ton
The convention was made up almost
entirely OF delegates from Northern
California
