Endecott, in 50-Mile Event tor
Stock Chassis, Clips Off Seven
Seconds From Atlanta Time
and Finishes In 43:40.69.
LOS ANOEILEB, April 8. One world's
record and one new American speedway
stock car mark were the extent of the
record-breaking on the Los Angeles
Motordrome today.
The sensational event of the day was
the battle betwen George Robertson in
the 81mplex and Caleb Bragg In the Flat
80 In the ten-mile free-for-all. These
racing monsters reeled off mile after mile
under the 40-econd mark and completed
the ten in 6:36.6. the Simplex winning by
100 feet and establishing a new world's
mark.
for seven miles the cars wera lapped
and It was difficult to tell which led at
the wire for the first Ave miles. Time
after time Robertson, who wan on the
outside, would run high on the track
In an effort to ewoop down into the
lead, but Bragg held on and refused to
give an inch.
Tires Fly to Pieces.
In the seventh mile Robertson forged a
yard into the lead. This was Increased
to a length in another half mile and at
the end of the eighth circuit the gap
was ateadily widening. Pieces of the
tread were seen flying from the Fiat's
tires and from then on it was easy for
the Simplex.
In the record trials of the day not a
mark was lowered, Oldfleld coming with
in 9-lOOths of a second of beating De
Palma's five-mile mark made yesterday.
The Bens made five circuits in 8:15.71.
' Had not a tire gone bad within 1-16 of
a mile from the wire, the record would
surely have been broken. This was Old
tield's second trial. On the first he re
tired on account of trouble after making
two miles in the sensational time of
1 : 18.73.
Speedway Itecord Made.
A National speedway record was
established by Kndecott In a Colo in
the 50-mile race for stock chassis
measuring 161-2.10 cubic Inches piston
displacement. The 60 miles were made
In 43:49.69.
The former record, made at Atlanta,
was 60:36. The race was between the
Cole and the Bulck all the way. These
cars alternated in the lead until the
last five miles, when Kndecott opened
up a gap of 100 feet.
The five-mile class C. 451-600 cubic
inches piston displacement, was won
by Oldfleld in the Knox, after Han
shue, - In the Apperson, had held the
lead for a mile.
The stock handicap was won by the
Kord with a handicap of 3:10, with the
Stoddard -Dayton second the Knox
third.
Nothing resembling an accident
marred the sport.

Disorder Follows Stopping of Labor
Iea tiers' S peech Beca u se of
Time Limit at Meeting.
RHlLaADHLF HI A, April 9. The usual
qu1t proceedings of the American Acad
emy of Political and Social Science were
disturbed today by a. heatei argument
between J. H. Ralston, of Washington,
D. C, and Charles E. Uttlefield, New
ork. during a discussion of the scope of
T.fmlts of injunctions.
There was also some disorder when
President Samuel Gompera, of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, was stopped in
the midst of a speech on the misuse of
injunctions, because the time allowed him
had expired.
Mr. Gompers seemed especially bit
ter because of the attacks of former
Congressman Little fie Id upon Mr. Ral
ston. "Littlefield's speech was insulting
and abusive," he declared. "Ralston is
neither a scoundrel nor a liar. Mr.
Uittletield is an ex-Congressman and
I am proud to say that I assisted ma
terially in placing the 'ex' before his
name."
Mr. Gompers in opening his speech,
denied that labor assailed the Judges
of the courts on the ground of corrup
tion. "Today," he said, "we continue the
old conception of master and servant
in our view of the relations between
employer and employe, but this con
ception has come to be that of 'master
and slave.' Our Judges are men who
by training and environment are in
fluenced to a conception of the employ
ers' relations as that of master over
a servant"
As-toria Chinese Dies.
ASTORIA, Or., April 9. (Special.)
Lum Lop Wy. head of the Chinese firm
of Me Jim John and who was generally
known by the latter name, died here
today after a short illness. The body
will be shipped to China for interment.
He was one of the best-known Chinese
merchants and labor contractors in this
section and had resided here about 30
years.
Leader of Organized Gang Known
to lie in North Arranging for Dis
posal of Orientals Brought
Aeross Border Against Law.
LOS ANGELES, April 9. (Special.)
Driven from Los Angeles by the activ
ity of Federal sleuths aided by the lo
cal authorities, the band of opium and
Chinese smugglers that has been op
erating along the Pacific Coast and the
Mexican border has transferred its
scene of operations to the northern
ports in Washington and Oregon. Ac
cording to Deputy United States Mar
shal Durlin, who has had a large part
in the two-years warfare on this par
ticular breed of la.whrpa.kers. the head
quarters of the band has been trans- j
ferred to Seattle with branches at Port-
land, Tacoma and Spokane. At the j
latter place arrangements are made for
disposing of the contraband Chinese
and opium that is successfully brought
in by Pacific liners and across the
Canadian border.
"Chick" Wallace, the leader of the
band, is now in the northern cities ar
ranging for the disposition of the
smuggled Orientals and drug. He is
the brains of the band, and is the only
prominent one of the original gang that
has escaped arrest by the Federal au
thorities. Three of his confederates,
including Larmon Gonzales, next to
"Wallace the cleverest of all are in jail
in this city, held as Federal prisoners.
Gonzales was captured last week in
San Diego after a six-weeks campaign
directed against him.
Chased Four Times Across Desert.
"I have had a warrant for the arrest
of this man for nearly two months, '
said Durlin, after the capture. ''He is
one of the craftiest men I have had to
deal with for a long time. As soon as
we aimed our shafts at him in par
ticular, he apparent 1 y went into seclu
sion somewhere in Mexico. According
to my information he was interested
mainly in landing contraband Phinamrn
at the Mexican ports and looking after
their Bfife transporta tion across the
line at Nogalcs and El Paso. He came
to Los Angeles frequently to confer
with the dealers in opium and here he
learned we were after him. I chased
him across Imperial desert four times
but he managed to gee away every
time.
"We are satisfied that Los Angeles is
no longer considered a safe point for
operation and th headquarters has
moved north. We got over $14,000
worth of opium and 15 Chinamen at
one haul here and have made many
smaller captures. The headquarters
were then moved to San Francisco, but
it got too hot for them there and they
have again gone north.
Smugglers Move North.
According to private advices from
Washington, D. C, a corps of trained
Federal sleuths is about to be dis
patched to Portland and Seattle to cov
er the Northwest and drive the band
from the entire Coast. The trans-Pacific
liners, already a source of capture
of great quantities of contraband opi
um, are to be watcli ed even more
closely xtnd an exhaustive search is to
be made at every interior ranch
throughout the Northwest for China
men who are in the country without the
necessary certificate.
It is said that Washington and Ore
gon do not share the general prejudice
of California as to Mongolian laborers
and that many Chinese find employment
not only in the cities but in the ranch
country as well.
The prisoners here awaiting trial on
a charge of having opium In their pos
session have confessed to the authori
ties that their confederates have found
the business easier In Washington and
Oregon than in California, but the
Federal authorities here declare this
will no longer be the case.

A GOO
D INVESTMENT
A FINE HOME SITE
A Lot in Alameda Park Is a
Good. Proposition as an
Investment and as a Place
in Which to Live Prices
Will Advance Kay 1.
WHEN BUYING RESIDENCE
REAL ESTATE. THERE ARE
TWO THINGS TO BE CONSID
ERED: FIRST, the desirability
of the particular lot considered as
to present prices and present and
future value in other -words, the
earning power of that lot.
SECOND, the desirability of
that particular home-site for home
purposes in short, whether it is
the kind of spot where one will be
proud to live.
ALAMEDA PARK FULFILLS
BOTH THESE REQUIRE
MENTS. As to the earning power of an
investment there, it is well known
to those who are posted that
prices on lots in this Park are
twenty-five to fifty per cent be
low the selling price of other lots
less favorably situated and less
sightly, and with less chance of
future advance. Let anyone who
doubts this search the town over,
both settled and unsettled dis
tricts, and he will confirm this
statement.
Next, its desirability as a place
in which to live. The altitude,
250 feet above the Willamette
River and overlooking the city,
and with splendid view of the
mountains, means perfect drain
age and consequent healthfulness.
The locality is ideal, being A DIS
TRICT RESTRICTED TO A
GOOD CLASS OF HOMES.
The Broadway carline which
serves Ala m e d a Park also
serves Ir.vington and Holladay
Additions, which are likewise
high-class residence districts., lots
in which, although adjacent to
Alameda Park, are priced very
considerably higher.
