Laying Plans for Big Race
Los Angeles To Phoenix
By Way Of San Diego

in at this point and on the following
morning once more the cars will be
sent away on the last and what is
considered the hardest part of the trip
to Phoenix
The entry fee has been placed at
$500, and Mr.. Shelter expects to see
at least twenty cars line up for the
start. Don Lee, California distribu-
tor for the Cadillac car. has entered
two machines and they will carry
entry numbers l and 2.
The cars as they are entered will
be given the numbers which will be
carried during the race and they will
be started in the order of their entry.
1t is impossible to estimate the
amount of the cash purse which will
be given to the winning drivers, but
it is practically certain that the prize
will be one of the largest offered fox
q desert race.
The San Diego racing enthusiasts,
together with the Phoenix people, are
working hand in hand for q success
full race, and as an extra inducement
for high speed special purse PROB
ably will be given to the pilot VINO
registers the best time between Los
Angeles and San Diego, and it is pos
sible that another purse will be given
to the driver who makes the best time
between San Diego and Phoenix.
The special train which has been
run from Los Angeles to Phoenix each
year of the races as usual will carry
a large number of Los Angeles boost
ers to the finish, and the card of the
races to be presented at the fair
grounds after the finish promises to
be better than ever.

"Peeking Tom" Is Caught
After Many Complaints

when he made a sudden lurch and got
away. Mr.. Langedale fired two or
three shots in the air to scare the man
and he made great time in getting
across country.
He proved to be young Jap en-
ployed as menial at the Country
Club, where he has had a good repu-
tation.
Whether this is the same man who
has been annoying other families by
peeking in at bedroom windows is not
known, but other heads of families
are just as anxious as Mr. Langsda,e
to capture sneaks of this character,
and if there are others they will be as
roughly handled as was this particu-

driving rain 10000 persons followed
the Gaynor hearse to Old Trinity. The
police and firemen led, sixteen black

and businessmen. nationally known,
strode as honorary pallbearers beside
the hearse. All the municipal boards,
city officials, committees of the FEEDER
al Senate and House, the legislature,
army, navy and foreign representa-
tives followed. During the morning
every engine on the Municipal ferry
was stopped for five minutes. A half
hour Of memorial services were held
in all schools and every bell tolled.
The stock exchange closed all the
morning. IL is estimated that half
million persons stood bareheaded in
the rain along the line Of march.
Ex-President Taft and Acting May
or Kline led the honorary pallbearerj.
The stars and stripes, and the may
or's flag with floral tokens for the
mayors widow and children covered
the casket as the procession moved.
Thousands lined the streets with
heads barred, in the rain. A thousand
police marched in the procession. Po-
lice Commissioner Walter, marching
behind Taft, sobbed openly. Engege-
ments prevented Roosevelt attending.
The subway suspended operations for
five minutes during the funeral.
Scores Of pickpockets were arrested

During the last few days a number
of heads of families have filed COM

"Peeking Tom" who has prowled
about houses in the early morning
hours, looking in at windows. A man
was seen several mornings by Mrs.
William Langsdale, wife of the sec
retary of the Chamber of Commerce,
at her window, and she recognized
him as japanese.
Mr.. Langsdale laid for the man, and
when he was seen again Sunday morn
ing, Mr.. Langsdale rushed out with
a revolver and captured him. In the
scuffle that followed, the Japanese
was pretty badly beaten up with the
revolver, but was held for a short time,

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 22.-The
desert road-race classic from Los An
geles to Phoenix, Ariz, will be run as
usual this season, but change in the
starting time from midnight to day
light has been announced by Leon
Shelter, who is managing the event.
According to present plans the first
racing car will be sent away a few
minutes after 5 o'clock the morning of
November 8. At two-minute intervals
the remaining cars will be given the
count, and the 1913 automobile mara
thon to the capital city Of Arizona will
be on.
The city of San Diego has been
given place on the official stationery
of the race promoters, and the event
will be called the Los Angeles-San
Diego exposition road race.
The route will include the southern
city and with this change there will
be only one race to Phoenix, as the
one which was held last year from San
Diego to Phoenix will not be repeated
this season, the two races being CON-
bined into one grand classic
The exact route from Los Angeles
to San Diego has not yet been deter
mined, but in a short time the officials
in charge of the race will decide on the
route, taking into consideration the
general road conditions and the sup
port given the event by the cities along
the course.
From San Diego the racing cars
will hit the desert sands with Yuma as
their objective point. The night con-
troll will be at Yuma, as in previous
years All of the cars will be checked

Whether or not Huerta has decided
to work with the Catholics against

appointment of Tamariz has cleft
deep division in the chamber of depu-

efforts to induce Liberal deputies who
on Thursday carried the chamber
against the confirmation Of Tamariz
by an overwhelming majority, to
withdraw their opposition. He even
sent Gambo to appear before the
chamber and plead for confirmation.

defeat for the government, for noe

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 22-Mexico's
political weathercock veered again
yesterday, when it became known that
President Huerta had countermanded
instructions given to War Minister
Banquet to order Felix Diaz to re-
turn to Mexico, that Diaz might par
t;cipate in the presidential elections
next month. Huerta told Banquet
on Wednesday night to send for DiaZ.
Scarcely had a cable been dispatched
when the president ordered Banquet
to instruct Diaz to remain in Paris
until further notice.
What will be Huerta's next move
with respect to his policy toward
Diaz and the latter's presidential as
pirations is problem. While Huerta's
reasons for so abruptly reversing
himself in the Diaz matter can only
be conjectured, there is evidence to
support the belief that it was due in
some measure, to the influence OF
leaders of the Catholic party.
Certain recent happenings are of in
terest along this line and being
harassed by financial and political
troubles, which are not growing less
acute as the days pass, Huerta, on
Wednesday, arrived at a determination
to eliminate himself as a presiden-
tial possibility and throw his strength
to Diaz. He ordered Diaz home. Later
several conferences were held with
leaders of the Catholic party, which
on Thursday were succeeded by three
important incidents. Orders for Dia7
to return were nullified and Minister
Gambo was put forward by Catholics
as their candidate for president, and

Boy Tomato King
Surprises Chicago

CHICAGO, Sept. 22-Let the board
Of trade bards sing of the "celanups"
and corners" of B. Peters Hutchin-
son (Old Hutch), Ed Partridge, ct al,
but reserve a place among the COM
mercial sages for Harvey Brooks OF
Morton Grove, lilliputian monarch
philosopher of the tomato market. In
cidentally, Harvey is a triple A ex-
ample Of the beneficial results of the
recent agricultural experiments in
five Cook county cshools, which will
be expanded this year to include the
entire rural school list.
Harvey primarily was the plumbing
and soldering end of the tomato can
ming and fly trapping Of Miss Agnes
Ryan, representing Morton Grove,
but his native, practical erudition
forced him into the limelight yester-
day before the Cook County Teachers
institute at the Normal school. He
had raised the entire tomato crop,
part Of which was canned by eight
little capped and be-aproned girls in
full view of room full of teachers.
The remainder he had sold.
"What did you get for them ?" ask
ed Miss Ryan.
"Well," said the fourteen-year-old
operator reflectively. 81 started out
at 81 a bushel, but the market slid
off and 1 was glad to unload at ST."
Harvey, not being shrinking vio-
let, bowed gravely to the applause
which greeted this recital. He knew
his tomatoes ran twenty cans to the
bushel and that some Of the speci-
mems weighed one pound and four
ounces each. He knew also, although
his auditors did not, that he had been
up since 8 a. m. in order to superin-
tend the unloading of a car Of coal,
because of his fathers illness.
Meanwhile, Helen, Mabel, Hermione
and others were skinning and scald-
ing the tomatoes and eventually car
ming them. Not germ escaped them
for Helen said so, as she replenished
the boiling water supply TO make
sure of it. If a germ escaped he was
sterilized, purified and repentant.
Meanwhile Harvey was the receiv-
ing end of the battery soldering a
small top to each can. He had a
small brazier mounted on fly trar
to keep his iron red hot, and his
movements were watched with won
der and apprehension by the women
who will have to teach the procedure
this autumn. t .-... ..t.... .
