travel at go get EN-" speed without
running the danger of arrest.
Automobile repair men and dealers
have petitioned the board OF super
visors for speedway on South Seventh

They have asked for the use of the road
on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays
between. the hours of 10 o'clock in the
morning and o'clock in the afternoon
for conducting speed tests on the high
way. They base their request on sub
division 6, paragraph 5134 of the revised
statutes of 1913, civil code. which
reads:
Local authorities may, notwith-
standing the other provisions of this
chapter, set aside for a given time a
specified public highway for speed
tests or races to be conducted under

CRIME
STILL MYSTERY

Peter Painter, the employee of Mike
Pagatoroff's store, who was held for
investigation with regard to the burg
larry of the Bagatoroff Glendale estab-
lishment Saturday night was ar
raigned before Justice Patterson at
Glendale yesterday. No effort was
made to press the burglary charge as
it was found impossible to connect the
goods alleged to have been taken from
the store with those found in Painter s
possession nor was there any track of
the $50 taken from the cash drawer.
Instead of a burglary charge, the sus-
pected man was charged with petty
larceny. for which offense he was
fined $40.
The case attracted much attention
in Glendale and there was a large at
tendance at the court hearing. Painter
was an employee of the store which was
robbed and since the door was opened
with a key he was suspected as it was
evidently an inside job.

Although the trial was not in pro-

versus S. Kobayshi, in which the young
Jap is charged with violating the pro-
hibition amendment, created more of
a stir than at any time during its his
tory. Judge Lyman made an order
for the transfer of states exhibits
from the office of the clerk of the su-
perior court to the sheriffs office.
The action of the court was taken
without the due consideration Judge
Lyman is accustomed to giving mat
tiers pertaining to law. 1t is under
stood that while Judge Lyman holds
the clerk of the court above suspicion
he believes it is best for the public
health, peace and safety that the ex-
| hibits be in the care and custody of
the sheriff.
The states exhibits in question are

dozens of pints of whiskey were
packed. The close, airproof vault in
