the motor car user Of to-day as compared
with that of his predecessor of a few
years ago. Mr.. Hobbs says:
II have just returned from an S00-nile
trip through the White Mountains, the
Green Mountains, and the Berkshire Hills
in my 1903 60-horsepOwer siX-cylinder
Pierce-ATrow car. ] think you viii be
interested to know that, although the car
has been running steadily since I received
il in May and before starting on this trip
had covered over 6.50O miles, the engine
ran perfectly during the entire trip, and
we never opened the bonnet except TO OF
the engine. We came through the entire
trip without a punctme or a blowout
and the tires were in splendid condition
in fact, ! made a perfect score, which
seems TO be the usual thing with Pierce
Arrow cars
Highly indicative of a marked trend In
the manufacture OF the highest grade Of
motor cars this year is the action of one
company in equipplug all its cars with
head and side lamps OF It's own design.
Almost every year since Il began the
manufacture of ears has seen with this
company the adoption Of some particular
design that marks the car as distinetively
10 the eye as the high grade Of the work
manship, material, and design does after
d thorough inspection OF the chassis.
This season all Pierce Arrow cars are
/ fitted with head lamps Of Octagonal form,
| differing in a noticeable way from the
regulation round head lamps so generally
used On the touring and other open cars
/ the side lamps are square. while on the
| incIosed cars they are octagonal with
glass sides and front The designs are the
/ product OF the art department Of the
| Plerce-Arrow Motor Car Company and
/ are used exclusively on cars OF this make.
J A feature Of decided advantage is the
wiring Of the car for the use Of mean
descents in the side lamps, If the owner
/ so desires.

that marks a greater advance in the cool

The current of cooling air. instead of
being forced by a fan directly back upon
the first cylinder and then IN succession
along the sides of the others. is divided
and applied in equal volume to the top
Of each cylinder There it enters a sheet
metal air jacket which incloses each
cylinder. and down this the cool air IS
drawn by the operation of a suction fly
wheel at the rear OF the engine base The
moving air completely enveIops each CYL

powerful that the cooling current is
greater in volume and therefore in cool

10000 SLANDER SUIT is
LOST BY HOUSE PAINTER
Court Decides Plaintiff Was Not
Called a Thief

A large portion of the population of
the town of Watts was present in
Judge Herveys court yesterday in con-
nection with the suit of j. c. Kean, a
painter, against William Diller a trus-
tee Of the city, for $4,000 for slander.
Late in the afternoon Judge Hervey
decided in favor of the defendant and
ordered the plaintiff to pay him So for
the costs of answering the suit.
Kean had been employed painting
OILERS house. The latter lost 800, and
he told seven different persons, accord
ing to the plaintiff, that the latter had
stolen it. He asked $1,000 damages for
each person the defendant told of his
being thief, and $4,000 on general prin-
ciples.
Diller found the money, and then
Kean brought suit for slander. c. E.
Street, former city recorder of Watts,
who was ousted by the board of trus-
tees of which Diller was member
was a witness for the plaintiff. He is
now running for town marshal. His
evidence did not prove a great deal,
and after hearing the case for several
hours Judge Hervey decided for the
defendant.

POUND KEEPER FLEES AS
DOG ATTACKS CONDUCTOR

why is a pound man." asked
Charles A. Gorton, street car conduct
or, living at 1902 East Fifteenth street,
of the police surgeons at the receiving
hospital yesterday as they were dress
ing serious decorations to his hands
that had been inflicted by the teeth of
dog he had caught for the pound
men.
The dog had annoyed Gorton's canine
for several days. Besides, it wore no
muzzle. Thinking to do the muzzle
ordinance a good turn, he called the
pound wagon. The offending canine
was cornered. The pound men allowed
Gorton to take the aggressive. He
closed on the animal and seized it by
the neck. A struggle ensued in which
the conductor disabled both his hands,
but held the dog. The animal suddenly
ceased his exertions. and the pound
men then came to Gorton's assistance.
He had no sooner released the animal
than the dog snapped and snarled. The
pound men, according to Gorton, took
to fight, while the canine escaped.

100000 LADY BUGS ON
WAY TO MELON FIELDS
Devourers of Insects Are Being
Sent to Imperial

Wells-Fargo Express company was
strenuously occupied yesterday with a
shipment of about 100000 lady bugs"
which are en- route to Imperial valley
from the state insectary at Sacramento
to the southern melon fields, where
they will be expected to destroy what
ever scale or aphis may be threatening
the agricultural products of the valley.
Three consignments of large screened
plates so far have passed through the
Los Angeles office. They are hauled
free by the express companies for the
purpose of aiding the melon growers,
and the cases are returned free to Sac
ramento for further shipments.
The lady bugs, it is said, are exceed
ingly fond of aphides and other insect
pests which injure melon crops. Their
fondness for these aphides makes the
lady bugs popular with the farmers,
and the Imperial valley melon growers
are said to have arranged for an en-
thusiastic reception when their lady
ships arrive at the railway station.
The ''ladies'' will be escorted with all
due ceremony to the melon patches,
and there allowed to partake at liberty
of the bounteous supply of fat aphides
and similar insect delicacies.

JAIL DEATH BRINGS
CHARGE OF ABUSE
Bitter Feeling Aroused Among
SaWteIIe Old Soldiers
and Citizens
BEGS VAINLY FOR WATER
Claim Made Suburban BaStiIe Is
Unfit for Prisoners, Many
of Whom Helpless
BEGS VAINLY FOR WATER

The alleged inhuman treatment Of
John Murray, an inmate of the Sol
diers' home, by the officers of Saw
telle, who, it is charged by Murray's
friends, threw him into Jail and left
him there to die last Friday, has
aroused a very bitter feeling among
many of the old soldiers and citizens
of Sawtelle. Murray, who had been
drinking heavily, was arrested Friday
night and locked up in the SaWtelle
city Jail, although not booked on any
specific charge. The next morning,
when the officers came to the Jail, they
found Murray dead.
Major Forrest A. Russell, another
inmate of the Soldiers home, who was
locked up with Murray, stated tsat
Murray died about $50 in the morning.
He also stated Murray had sobered up
considerably before his death and was
apparently all right up to the very
minute he fell over dead.
An inquest was held and the attend
ing physician, DR.. G.. A. Fielding of
Sawtelle, pronounced death due to
acute pneumonia The body was buried
in the Soldiers home burial ground.
PTTEOUs CALL Is HEARD
During the night Murray or some
other inmate of the jail was heard
calling In piteous tones for water, ac-
cording to several old soldiers, who
were around the police headquarters
at the time. An effort was made by
them to locate the city marshal and
relieve the sufferer, but they could not
find that official, they said. Shortly
after this the calling ceased.
The city officers of Sawtelle claim
that this calling was done, not by Muir
ray, but by his cell mate, Russell.
They say that both are old offenders
and that 1t is always Russell that
makes the noise when under the in
fiuence of liquor, and not Murray. The
officers further state that the two old
soldiers were locked up at their own
request, as both were so drunk they
could not walk the few blocks from
the town to their barracks.
The cell in which the two old men
were locked has no running water con-
nected with it and it would be i'm
possible for q prisoner to get drink.
Several prominent citizens are greatly
exercised over what they term the in
humanity of locking old men up in
Jail when they are helpless and then
not "paying enough attention to them,
to not even give them a drink of wa
ter" 1t is very probable that this
action of the Sawtelle police will be
used as a campaign slogan by the
peoples party" in the coming munich
pal election.

 After the "exposure'' of Giroux Scheftels advised the immediate pur- chase of Ely Central that was still located alongside of Giroux. The ore was coming in upon all sides and the bottom.
 The governments agents were final ly attracted by Scheftels' efforts, they secured evidence from many people who had bought stocks through the concern and who received nothing for their money. and the result was the arrest of several of the guilty ones, with trials to come oil at forth coming terms of court.
 The Rawhide camp was on that Scheftels paid great attention to. Nat Goodwin, the well-known actor. fig. ured prominently in the columns of his paper and Goodwin sold stock in several concerns with Scheftels as the main pusher. We hear Goodwin has lost money in his mining ventures but so many fell with him who could not so we'll afford the losses.
 Millions of shares of stock were urged for sale through Sheftels pub lications and wonderful promises were made those who would exchange money for them.
 When too many people were buy ing stock in Goldfeld Consolidated at s6 per share, Scheftels predicted a great falling oil in output, said copper ore was replacing those carrying gold and advised people to get out and buy his Rawhides. Goldfield Consolidat ed has gone up several points from $6 and the mine is said to be develop ing splendidly at depth, ore yielding $1 GOO in gold per ton having just been found below the 1.090-foit level These few instances illustrate the methods of the Scheftels concern. | was high time the outfit was gather ed In by the law and the government will probably have a very easy tims proving the mails were being employ ed unlawfully by the defendants fl the case. -s--s The government is doing a grea
