SAID "YES" WITH DIGITS
WHILE FATHER ROARED
Deaf Mutes and Cupid
Judges Turn Joke on
Croesus Patrolman
Seeking in vain to prevent the mar
riage of Ralph N. Mler and Grace
Cloer, deaf mutee, Patrolman Joseph
Mier" yesterday raced from courtroom
to courtroom of the Justices of the
peace striving to prevent a marriage
that eventually was performed by
Judge A. B. Treadweir. The father
claimed that his son was •nable to
support a wife, although he himeejf is
reputed well to do. The son in eign
language and with notes told his
father that he had loved the girl de
votedly for nine years and that he wae
determined to marry, therefore it be
hooved the father to forgive him.
The young couple, accompanied by
the girl's sister, Mrs. Anna M. Wood of
376 Lily avenue, were early at the mar
riage license office. The young man
gave his age as 28 and the young
woman as 27 years. Grant Munson, li
cense clerk, was about to complete the
certificate, when the elder Mler rushed
in, shouting, "I forbid it." After a
parley Munson ascertained that Mier
had no just reason for preventing the
marriage and thereupon issued a li
cense.
The father then went to the fourth
floor of the city hall and sought to
warn the justices against the cere
mony. WhiFe he was visiting Justice
of the Peace Conlan the couple ■went
to the chambers of Judge Treadwell,
where the father broke in upon them.
A noisy scene on the part of the father
followed and the bride to be fainted.
Judge Treadwell escorted the angry
policeman from the room and per
formed the marriage ceremony after
he had ascertained that no legal bar
existed.
While the newly wedded pair were
on their way to the home of Mrs.
Wood the father attempted to expos
tulate with who suggested
pointedly that if the son were unable
to support a wife the father might con
tribute a little of his own wealth to
the cause of Cupid.
T. R.'S AFRICAN RELICS
MOVED TO SIDE ROOM
Giraffe, Dlk-dlk and Other Strange
Beasts Lose Hueam Spotlight for
"Hall of Fame , '
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—When work
men today laid profane hands on the
gigantic giraffe that reared its lofty
head in the main rotunda of the Na
tional museum, the last of Colonel
Roosevelt's trophies of his African hunt
was removed. The giraffe, with its
other stuffed brothers, was set up in
a less prominent place, for the rotunda
is wanted for the establishment of a
"Hall of Fame"
The dik-dik, the African deer, and
other strange animals that fell be
fore the former president's gun, all
were removed, like the animals in the
ark, "two by two," Saturday. The
giraffe was left in solitary state be
csfuse of its lengthy legs and towering
neck made It impossible to get him
out without the aid of a derrick.
TAFT TO PANAMA DEC. 19
President Decides to Visit Canal, Aβ
Wllbon Can .Nof Make Trip
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—President
Taft today tentatively selected Decem
ber 19 as his date to start for Panama.
His intention to visit the isthmus be
fore he goes out of office was influ
enced, partly at least, by President
elect Wilson's decision not to do bo.
Under the new Panama canal law the
president is responsible for putting into
effect the new government for the canal
zone. The president will sail from Key
West on the Arkansas, accompanied by
Mrs. Taft and several friends. The
battleship Delaware probably will ac
company the Arkansas.

Locomobile Truck Appears
Winton Official Visits City
Five Ton Motor Ve
hicle Creates Interest
On Row'
Ever since the Initial announcement
was made some monthe ago that the
Locomobile Company of America had
decided to enter the commercial vehicle
field, San Franciscans interested in the
motor truck have been anxiously await
ing the arrival of the first of this new
type of wagon. The truck was placed
on display at of the
local factory branch of the Locomobile
company yesterday and attracted
marked attention among a large num
ber of merchants who are considering
the installation of the motor vehicle
in place of the horse drawn type.
The Locomobile truck is of the five
ton type and, -while it is massive In ap
pearance and designed for extra heaTV-"
duty, it Is operated with the greatest
of ease. The truck comes to the coast
with a record of durability and practi
cability earned in a series of tests in
the east. In speaking fcf the new ve
hicle, Harry W. Evans, manager of the
truck department of the local Loco
mobile company branch, says:
'The Locomobile truck is backed by
H years of experience in successful
motor car building, but the truck is
distinct in every feature from the Loco
mobile pleasure cars. In fact, no single
part of the latter hap been used In the
makeup of the commercial vehicle, al
though it is safe to say that much of
the experience gained in the 14 years
that the Locomobile has been manu
factured has been utilized by the. ex
ports of the factory In turninfe out
this five ton truck, which we look upon
as a big brother to the Locomobile
line of pleasure cars. In this truck we
believe that we have a rehicle that
will stand heavy duty and will live up
to the Locomobile's name of reliability.
"For three years we hare been ex
perimenting with this truck, putting
it through some of the roughest work
that human Ingenuity could devise,
and here is the result. In the east
there were several owners of Locomo
bile pars who wanted this truck before
these tests were completed. The trucks
were delivered, the owners knowing
what the name Locomobile means, and
they have not been disappointed with
the performance of the big five ton
brothers.
"The motor In the L-ocomobfle truck
Is made to stand every strain and Is
of a larger type than the majority of
American as well as most foreign
five ton trucks. This gires a certain
amount of reserve power, so that the
motor Is not working: up to the limit
all the time and therefore unable to
answer the call when a larger demand
Is made upon it. The T-head type of
motor is used in reference to any
other type, because It permits the use
of larger valves as well as easy and
accurate valve adjustment^
"A feature of the Locomobile car
buretor Is the use of both hot water
and hot air, which provides a suffi
ciently high temperature to raporlze
satisfactorily the low grades of gaso
line now on the market.
"The carbureter is automatic in ac
tion, supplying the proper amount of
air at varying , motor speeds, and the
control of the mixture Is conveniently
accomplished by a small lever mounted
on the floorboard, within easy reach of
the driver.
"The frame Iβ pressed alloy nickel,
heat treated. Most truck manufactur
ers use structural channel eteel. The
elastic limit of steel in our frame is
about 105,000 pounds, as against ap
proximately 35,000 for th« structural
channel steel. No holes are punched,
all are drilled and reamed. Side mem
bers of frames att snmp trucks are
strengthened by truss rods. This makps
an absolutely rigid side member, doing
away with all flexibility."
AMATEURS DO SPLENDID
SKATING AT COLISEUM
Records Hare Narrow Rnrape and
Crowd Is Electrified by Races
Last Sunday
Records were threatened and a large
crowd electrified by some brilliant ama
teur skating at the Coliseum Sunday.
The participants In the half mile elim
ination races were so numerous that
it was necessary to hold three heats
and the final was a "hair raiser."
In the opening heat R. Hooper won
rather easily, skating- with something
of the steadiness of stroke of the pro
fessional performer. H. Medley was
second and A, Goodband third.
The second contest resulted in a win
for R. Brown, A. Neal being second and
A. Frelt third. D. Lee passed the tape
first in this heat, but was disqualified,
as he is a professional.
The final produced a "ding , dong" con
test, E. Goodband winning from 'Hooper
by a yard. The time was 1 minute
32 seconds, which is excellent for ama
teurs.
F. W. Ochaner acted as starter and
J. A. Leonard as clerk of the course.
These races will he continued De
cember 15 and 22. The final for the
amateur championship of the Pacific
coast will be held December 29.

LEON J. PINKSON
Thomas Henderson, vice president
of the Winton Motor Car company of
Cleveland, arrived In' San Francisco
yesterday and is making his headquar
ters with Harry L. Owesney, manager
of the Winton company's local factory
branch. Henderson's trip is one of
pleasure and to avoid the cold weather
in the east. He is most Impressed with
the development of the west, and in
speaking of San Francisco yesterday
said:
"The growth of San Franrisco sine*
my last visit to the coast several years
ago certainly is surprising. But I be
lieve that this growth will be far sur
passed within the next few years, es
pecially when you begin reaping the
benefits of the Panama canal.
"T am not making a business trip, but
your beautiful climate certainly ap
peals to me, especially when I think
of the thermometer registering near
the zero mark back east, and here In
this California sunshine I can scarcely
realize .that the holiday season is at
hand.
"In my mind, no more Ideal spot for
the Panama-Pacific exposition could
possibly have been chosen, and you
may rest assured that many eastern
automobile tourists will make your city
their Mecca during the exposition
year."
Cooper DefeatM Barman —There was
much joy at the headquarters of the
C; &■■ F. Motor Car company, Stutz dis
tributers, over the report of the suc
cess of p]arl Cooper in defeating Bob
Biirman In the free for all in the Los
Angeles rare meet on Sunday. Cooper
had no class event, but entered the
freo for all and snatched the vWory
easily from Bob Biirman, who was at
the wheel of his 110 horsepower Benz.
Cooper, in his Stutz, also defeated
Burman, who was at the wheel of the
Cutting racing car In a contest on Sat
urday and in another one on Sunday.
Thr Stutz Cooper was driving, is the
same car in which he defeated Barney
Oldfleld at Tan-foran recently and made
such creditable showings In the Santa
Monica and Tacoma road races. The
result of the southern races again
shows the consistency of the little StuU
car. The victories made Manager A. B.
Cosby of the C. ife F. company the hap
piest man on the row yesterday.

Wf»t Anto A«eociaflon Plnnned—
Twenty-four leading automobile men
of Lor Angeles have Issued a declara
tion of Independence from the Automo
bile Association of America and made
plans for the formation of the West
ern Automobile association.
A telegram to that effect was sent
to William Schimpf, of the contest
board of the A. A. A., at New York, ac
cording to statements by the men back
of the new movement. The telegram
stated that "a number of circumstances
Into the details of ■which the automo
bilists preferred not to be obliged to go
had caused them to conclude that for
the good of automobile racing on the
Pacific coast It became necessary that
h representative body of western men
should form an organization to manage
and control their own affairs within
conservative lines."
The Los Angeles motormen also an
nounced that they preferred San Fran
oisco as the head of the new organiza
tion because of its geographical posi
tion if for no other reason, and tele
graphed to the press of that city a
desire to meet with northern autpmo
bilists for furtherance of the associa
tion.
Dissatisfaction with rullnge of the A.
A. A. was the reason given for the
present movement.

DUCKS FLOCK TO
GOLDEN GATE PARK
Greater Number and Variety of
Wild Species Than Previous
Records Show
There are more wild ducks on the
lakes in Golden Gate park now than
in years. There are more varieties this
season. During the last week great
flocks of every species of duck on the
Pacific coast from the Isthmus of Pan
ama to the shores of Alaska have ar
rived and settled on the lakes for the
winter.
It was estimated yesterday that there
were more than 600 ducks on Stow lake,
while the number on Hobo lake was
placed at 2,000.
Though many of the birds have juet
arrired, they show little fear. Mounted
Patrolman Kavanaugh yesterday, by
whistling, attracted hundreds of the
ducks to him, rewarding them with
food.
The durks are late, and for weeks
park employes had wondered whether
the birds had deserted the lakes this
season.
Among the arrivals Is a pair of -wild
geese, the first that have ever come
to the pack on their own account. These
•fowls have settled bark of the Murphy
windnjlll at the south end of the park,
and It is believed they will nest there
this spring.
