TAKES CHARGES
BEFORE NOTARY
F. W. Wagner this week went before
a notary rfnd swore to the complaint
against the Seattle Dog Folders' as
sociation, charged by Wagner with the
nondelivery of a prize, as he was In
structed by J, P. Norman of San Fran
cisco, secretary of the Pacific advisory
board of the American Kennel associa
tion. Wagner's efforts- to secure sat
isfaction from thfe Seattle organiza
tion apparently have been fruitless.
The failure of Butterworth & Son
to deliver a cup donated by them at
the time of the show last May, has
Impelled Wagner to bring action against
the Seattle club, and Secretary Charles
McAllster has been called upon to bear
the brunt of the attack against the
club for Butterwortha' delinquency.
McAllster assures Wagner that But
terworth has promised to provide the
cup and that It will be one of the finest
among the awards donated at the show
The substitute cup sent last week was
considered Dy wagner, to be very poor,
even for a substitute and he refused to
receive It.
The outcome of the squabble will be
watched with interest bv doar fanrtiem

or the Seattle club comes through with
the cup the Seattle fanciers may be pro

San Francisco, Jan. 11. The next
pugilistic encounter at Coffroth's Mis
sion street arena will probably be be
tween Young Ketchel and Mike (Twin)
Sullivan, on Washington's birthday. Cof
f roth today received a telegram from
Hueo Kelly stating that it was impos
sible for him to come to the coast in
February as he was already matched for
a 10-round fignt witn Biny iapke.
Coffroth then interviewed Joe O'Con
nor, manager fofr Ketchel, who ex
pressed his willingness to match his
man against Mike (Twin) Sullivan. Sul
livan already has a forfeit of $1,000
posted with tho sporting editor of the
Examiner and O'Connor says he will
cover this and let the money go as a
side bet If the twin so wishes. Final
articles will also be drawn up on Monday.

' Local automobile dealers report a
good trade so far this month, and pros
pects are that the market will very
soon assume its normal state. During
the financial stringency many orders
rere cancelled, but those who feared
for the worst have evidently been reas
sured, and their orders are being taken
again. Several large sales were made
during the week.
"Keen your motor warm," Is the ad
vice of If. E. Coffin, vice-president of
the E. R. Thomas Detroit company. "In
the winter weather, when a car is run
at speed, the cooling properties of the
radiator are much Kreater man in
warm weather. A motor will run better
and start easier If a sheet of cardboard
or other light material covers part of
tne raaiator.
The varicsis automobile laws through
out the United States, no matter how
widely they differ, unite In one manda
tory particular. This is that a tail
lamp shall light up the license number
ana snow a reu uanger signal. Tne
rigidity with which this particular feat
ure or tne law is carried out, depends
very largely on the attitude of the lo
cal authorities to automobiles.
Motoring In California is now at Its
best stage, since the pastime was in
troduced. Heretofore the roads between
San Francisco and Los Angeles, have
been practically Impassable from win
ter rains, but this year the roads are
dry, ana many races have been run by
tnose who love to speed up.
