EXPERT DRIVERS
 ARE AUTO PEST
His Acts Cause Abuse of All
 Careful Operators
BRIGHTEN PEDESTRIANS
'Ifs He Who Disregards All Lawss Takes shnrp Turns and Speeds Over the Streets 4 La
 Oid6eld

From the Motor World.
 Perhaps one of the most exasperat- ing pests In automobiledom is that big little man-the "expert driver'
 In speaking of him, says a contempo rary, we do not think of the pains taking mechanic, who, by dint of study and experience gained in actual prac- tice, familiarizes himself with motor cars until he Is able to obtain from his charge the maximum service with a. minimum necessity for repair and ad- 1ustment. Him we would call the ex- pert motorist-but we have in mind the fellow who is an expert "driver'' and nothing else.
 It is almost needless to say that since the exhibition of stunts in driv- ing is apt to prove an expensive habit the expert driver rarely is found among the owners. Usually he has graduated from the washstand in n garage, while sometimes he Is a speci- men of the so-called natural-born me- chanic, species that neither modern learning seems to have been able to extermnate.
 It is the expert driver who Is largely responsible for the animosity of the mere pedestrian against the motorist; It Is he who scares elderly ladies into mysteries by bearing down upon them with rush, only to clap on his brakes with bang and bring his car to a stop half an inch from the pedestrian shin.
 Not unfrequently the expert driver Is real expert as far as his exhibitions pass without the in1ction of harm on others or on himself. but in every case he Is costly acquisition.
 If you want to watch him, stand in front of busy garage for a little while and you will have ample opportunity to observe his doings. He will come out of the garage at full tilt, clear the op- posite curb by ripping the steering wheel around with all his might, and disappear around the next corner in similar fashion. When he returns he will tear down the block at a speed of 50 miles an hour, throw on the brakes some or 10 feet from the stopping point and bring the car to a stop all most within its own length-which, of course, costs money for repairs and ex- cessive deterioration-to the owner
 This sort of driver is the one to whom an open muffler is music in the ears; who magines himself a miniature Oldheld who could have beaten every record had he been given the chance.
 AS to climbing a hill on high gear every time, trust to your expert driver to do it. Very often he will do it, too, even if the motor should knock it's own head off-in utter oblivion of the fact that low gear ratios are made just for hill climbing.

BOOST FRISCO
 FOR EXPOSITION

Chicago, November 13.-With the short session of Congress but a month away, the advance guard of San Francisco, which is trying to land the Panama Canal exposition for that city, has ar- rived In Chicago in the person of Rob ert N. Lynch, vice president and man. ager of the California development board. MT Lynch is enthusiastic and believes that when he and his associates present their case before Congress their hard. cold facts regarding the money raised by the western city will have a strong tendency to swing the pendulum bearing the exposition to Frisco.
 'The organization which l represent ,'' said Mir. Lynch, Ifs the result of the merging of the state board of trade. the California Promotion company and the Manufacturers and Producers associa- tion.
 I've and the whole state back of us are trying our best to bring to San Fran cisco what we believe should be the greatest exposition in the history of the world, and what certainly will be the greatest if we secure It.
 Last week while New Orleans, by des- perate efforts, was raising $650o.00O, we raised sl7,0000O0, and will raise $5O.000,- GOO to guarantee the financial end, if il will secure the exposition to us. This means that we will not ask the govern ment for one cent
 New Orleans is 100 miles from the path of the vessels proceeding toward the entrance of the Panama canal. The opening of the canal will mean the con- meeting link between the east and the west, and we therefore believe that San Francisco is the logical point.
 Tn addition to all the wonderful things to be seen at the exposition, I want to call attention to the fact that en route tc San Francisco are to be seen scenic won- ders greater than any others in .he world. The Yosemite valley, the Grand canyon, cannot be equalled in grandeur so that the visitor will secure a double treat if the exposition is held in Frisco
 "A prominent government official tolc me today that he believed that twice as many people would go to the exposition if held at San Francisco than would gt to New Orleans.
 'We have the advantage in climate, en terprise money and railroad facilities and will secure railroad rates so low as tt be almost ludicrous over three trans continental lines. with fourth projected
 'I shall go to New York Monday thence to Washington and Boston and re turn to Chicago November 20. Then shall attend the waterways congress al St. Louis and November 30 will be joined by the delegation from San Francisco, ar irving in S special car and proceeding direct to Washington.

schenk Case Is Quiet

wheeling. W. Va, November 13.-Aside from a rumor that Mrs. Laura Earns worth schenk had committed suicide, which was absolutely without foundation and other similarly absurd stories, devel- opments in her case were at standstill today. She remained in jail, while her husband. John O. Schenk, the wealthy pork packer. whom she is accused of poisoning, lay in the North Wheeling hospital. He was. 1t is reported, con siderably improved today. Prosecuting Attorney J. B. Handlan said tonight that the delay in holding preliminary hear ing of the case was due to the absence of Dr. Gregory Alderman. q specialist. who is expected to return to Wheeling tomorrow. Dr. Alderman was called to the Schenk home during the early stages of MT. schenk's illness and after treat ing the patient for several days, he told Mrs. Schenk that he had diagnosed the case as one of lead poisoning. On the evening of that day or the next, it is said, he was called over the telephone by Mrs. Schenk and dismissed from the

 England Is the home of the man who will bet you on any possible contingency. Wagering on all sorts of happenings or possibilities is almost a national passion. and especially is this true in connection with the turf.

 His colors were white, with crimson sleeves. and when he went racing he drove four-in-hand four beautiful white horses, with two outriders in crimson liveries. He always wore white himself on such occasions, and was considered the handsomest man of his day. Weigh ing upward of 200 pounds in condition and almost six feet high, he was remark ably agile He beat Lord Frederick Ben tinck, who vas very fleet of foot, in a running match at Newmarket Heath.
