Long Run in Dreadnought

PACIFIC MOTOR CAR
COMPANY TAKES
OVER REO
R. R. L'HOMMEDIEU
Another move on the boards along
automobile row took place yesterda.v.
It was the transfer of the Reo inter
i ests from J. W. Leavitt & Co. to tlie
Pacitiic motor car company. The lat
ter company took over all the stock
and parts and the cars that J. W.
Leavitt & Co. had on hand. The cars
were the latest that have been received
from the factory. The transfer made
a busy time between the two places.
The officers of rtie new company are
enthusiastic over the addition of the
Reo to their line. In speaking of the
taking over the Reo interests they said:
"The fact that we have taken over
the Reo does not mean that, we art.
only going to look after the cars, that
we sell. We want every owner of a
Reo no matter who sold the car or how
old it is to come to us and it will 1 be
our ai mto take care of him. There
has been a great deal said of the way
that branch houses take care of their
customers — that better treatment can
be had than from an agent, j This may
be true in the majority of cases, b'uv
it is the aim of the Pacific motor car
company to give the owners of the cars
that they represent the kind of treat
ment that can not be surpassed by any
one, even a factory.
"You do not find a dissatisfied Stev
ens-Duryea owner, for the very reason
that we look after them, and this policy
is to be followed by us concerning the
Reo. The former agents of the Reo
have done everything in their power for
the owners of Reos, and with such a
high mark set the Pacific motor car
company is going to try and show that
even more can be done, if that is
possible.
"The books for the placing of
agencies will be opened today. The
officers will then begin to make tnelr
selections of agents In. the territory
north of Tehachapi. The mail yester- ',
day brought in a number of requests ]
from those who had handled the Reo ;
heretofore, but it will not be until the
end of the week before the Pacific mo
tor car company will announce its
selection of representatives. In the
meantime a careful selection will be
made, as most of the contracts will
carry the agency for more than merely
a year. %
I_ L. Whitman, who holds the trans
continental record, is now trying to
lower his mark.
This time he is
using a Reo. The
last few words
were received
I Whitman I* I
I After Record |
«. ; «-
from him at Ogden Sunday midnight,
when he wired that he was eight hours
ahead of his schedule and that the car
was running without a hitch. lie is
coming this way.
Whitman wired from Council Bluffs
Thursday that he had left thare at 7
a. m., sixteen hours ahead of his sched
ule, notwithstanding the fact that he
has been delayed five hours by rain,
mud and ferries.
He made the run of 1,500 miles from
New York to Omaha in 79 hours. He
saysthe car is running in perfect shape
and says that barring an unforeseen
accident, he expects to land in. San
Francisco ahead of, the present record.
The first continental record breaking
trip was made by Whitman in 1903,
when he dntve a single cylinder Olds
mobile across the continent in 71 days.
The run proved a sensation and was
the talk of motordom for some time.
The following year Whitman lowered
the record to 32 days.
The present record was made in a
six cylinder Franklin air i-ooled car in
1906. The run was made in " relays,
with a crew of five men. The car was
driven night and day. ! It was a re
markable trip, as almost a day was
lost while the Franklin plowed its way
through a mud hollow.
The present record tryout is to be
a night and day run, with Whitman
and Hammond alternating jit the
wheel. The only stops to be maae are
for gasoline and oil.
Lewis X. Mcrritt' of Pasadena is in

Here; according to McKeon, automo
biles were lined up for a continuous
eight miles to view the knights* parade.
From Chicago Mullcr and . McKeon
went to the Premier and thence to
the Moline factories. At both estab
lishments every 1910 car had been sold
and the buildings were completely
cleared of machines. Extensive prepa
rations are ( being made for a big 1911
output.
Muller brings back word that Ray

OVERPRODUCTION IS
UNLIKELY, SAYS
HARRISON
R. R. L'HOMMEDIEU
With reports of prosperous conditions
in the automobile industry throughout
the middle west and east, 11. O. Harri
son returned yesterday from the t Peer
less and Everitt factories. Harrison,
speaking of the prospects for next sea
son, said:
"There are no chances of an over
production of automobiles in the very
near, future, especially now that the
larger manufacturers have adopted a
very conservative policy in, regard' to
the number of machines they turn out
annually. One season ago each manu
facturer tried to make more cars than
his competitors and as a result a num
ber of them did not dispose of their
1910 output as easily as they expected.
At the Everitt factory they avoid this
chance by confining their output to a
reasonable number of machines. Even,
at this date, when the facilities of the
Detroit factory are the best possible,
only 20 machines are being turned out
daiiy. -*
"I find the majority of the manufac
turers in favor of a conservative pol
icy. It is these conditions that make
the automobile industry look promis
ing."
The Pacific Motor Gar Company announces that they
are now the distributers of the Reo Automobile in Cali-
fornia north of Bakersfield, We now have on hand a full
\ stock of parts for the benefit of every owner of a Reo,
present and future, The facilities of a large depot of
the Pacific ''Motor Car Company will also be at the im-
mediate service of ail Reo owners. Courtesy and quick
attention will be our aim. BT MATTERS NOT WHO HAS
SOLD YOU THE CAR— the Pacific Motor Car Company
stands behind it.
Come aod See Us: We Want to Know You
We Want Llwe Agents
We have an attractive line of cars for the 1911 season, and
we want every live automobile man in this territory to get

COURT SURPRISED
AT PAYOT'S STAND
Comment by Judge Cpnley Re»
garding Trial of Polytechnic
School Principal Bush
The right of School, Director -Henry
Payot to officiate on the board at the
trial of Walter N. . Bush, principal of
the polytechnic high school, on charges
of incompetency and- dishonesty, was
reargued before Judge Conley yester
day on '! new affidavits filed last week.
The case was taken under submission.
Stephen V. Costello, attorney for Bush,
contended that Payot's statement that
he had v no feeling for Bush
other than that of friendship -was not
sufficient to insure the accused man a
fair' trial, the director having openly
admitted that he believed the school
teacher guilty. -
I "Payot admits that he advised Bush
to resign and that: he would not ask
an innocent man, to resign," said Cos
tello. "Therefore Bush, would, have no
chance whatever with Payot trying
him." '
"You may misjudge Payot,". remarked
the judge. "Maybe, however, he is dis
qualified because he says he entertains
feelings of friendship for Bush."
-Assistant City Attorney > English re
ferred to the high reputatidh of Payot
and tohis sworn statement that he was
riot biased or prejudiced against Bush.
He also" said the attempt to "prevent
the disqualification of Payot was being
made in order to test the right of any
city official on trial before a board to
choose in part his own judges.. :
"I can not for the life of me see, why
Payot wants to serve in this case,"
remarked Judge Conley, in taking the"
matter -under submission.. "I would
not do it if. I were, he. It is a mere
question of fact whether he is biased
or not. The v very fact that bias is
charged' ought, however, to make him
hesitate ~ about serving. His conduct
would be, impugned no matter how .he
acted at"the trial. During the 17 years
I have been on the bench I have alwa,ys
withdrawn from a case and called . in
another judge when it has been as
serted that I was prejudiced."
Judge Conley announced, that
Wednesday morning he would decide
whether, as a strict matter of law,
Payot was disqualified from sitting.
