NEWERF BUICK WHITE
STREAK MAKES RECORD
Reduces Time of Harvey'S RAM
bier | 1-2 Hours on the
250-MiIe Trip

The record made last week by the
Newerf Buick White Streak between
San Francisco and Del Monte and re-
turn to the Bay City is still the talk OF
automobiledom. This little car, when
is the property of the w. d. Newerf
Rubber company in the northern me-
tropolis, was stripped and prepared for
the run, the record of which for time
has been held for a long period by
old war horse L. B. Harvey with a
Rambler, and when ready Al Leonard,
the manager of the Newerf branch in
San Francisco, took his seat at the
wheel to drive the first race in when
he had ever participated
Accompanied by Ed Norge as mech
anician, a good start was made, ana
when the run to Del Monte had been
made in record breaking time the pair
felt we'll satisfied that the game was
theirs if the return could be made in
the same time. And it was, and when
the car had signed in at the starting
point it was found that the Buick had
taken a full hour and a half from the
time of Harvey in his big Rambler, and
it is probable that this record Will stand
for a long time to come.
Leonard had the car equipped with
Goodyear quick detachable diversified
tires all around, and when the journey
of 25O miles had been completed they
were found to be in perfect condition,
not a sign of wear being shown, al
though the car had been sent over the
road at a terrific gait all the distance.
Leonard is daily receiving the con-
e.ratulations from his many friends for
the achievement accomplished.

DENIES CLOSING DEAL
FOR BIG STEEL PLANT
l. S. Barnes States Rumors of a
$1O,OO0,o0O Transaction
Are Unfounded

Reports that Los Angeles is to have a

were used, but those said to have been
principals in a deal closed during the
day would not confirm it. Instead they
made explicit denials.
1t was stated that a corporation
which has been in existence several
years yesterday paid $4,000 toward the
purchase of a site for the plant. The
transaction occurred, 1t was stated, in
the office of L. S. Barnes, I'll Central
building. Mr.. Barnes denied last night
that such a transaction had occurred.
He also disclaimed knowledge that any
such deal was pending.
Another report was that two gangs
of laborers were at work on the site
already and that it was adjacent to
Los Angeles harbor OF the many en-
terprises under way at or near the har-
Dor none seemed to be such as would
answer the purpose of a steel plant.
II believe a steel plant will be built
in Southern California" said Mr..
Barnes, for there are enough iron de-
posits in the state to support several
such plants. I am not interested in any
such venture as reported, however, and
no deal was made today in my office.

take part in the coming meeting of
the Saratoga association have arrived
here in the course of a week.
There are now over 260 horses

track said this afternoon: "There are
more horses here now than there
have been at this time of year in years
before. We're away ahead of the past
few seasons. From the way things
look now, as far as the number and
caliber of the horses are concerned,
this will be the biggest and sportiest
season the Saratoga track has enjoyed
in years."
Among the owners represented in
the arrivals are Woodford Clay, G.
Thompkins. J. Murphy, Walter Cong
don, r. Boyle, D. Williams and Nat
Ray. Three carloads of James r.
