Telephone calls to the management of the show Saturday were to the effect that no prizes had been awarded, but several other papers carried the names of the prize winners Saturday afternoon, nevertheless.* WE INSPECT YOUR OLD TIRE IN THIS MACHINE —and if it is worth re-treading we rebuild it, using the famous— WE INSPECT YOUR OLD TIRE IN THIS MACHINE —and if it is worth re-treading we rebuild it, using the famous— India Design Tread AND GIVE YOU IN WRITING A 10,000 MILE GUARANTEE Please do not consider our work like the average cheap re-treading so frequently offered you.

New York City is planning the biggest police force in the world, which may mean that they expect to have as many in facts as they have in the movies. Charged With Theft; Demands Damages Two criminal prosecutions of James Walker, both of which he successfully contested, have their sequel in a suit for $10,147 damages filed in superior court against R. W. Townsend, Santa Ana automobile dealer. The damage suit, which charges Townsend with malicious prosecution, represents Walker's retort to embezzlement charges preferred against him recently by Townsend, who is head of the motor company that bears his name. Townsend is asserted to have caused Walker's arrest on January 30, on a felony embezzlement charge involving the asserted removal and concealment of an automobile belonging to Townsend. Walker was arrested at El Centro and was brought to the Orange county jail. At his preliminary hearing, on the fifth instant, before Justice Morrison, the charges were dismissed. Walker's present complaint indicates that the value of the car was shown to be less than $200, which would reduce the offense below the felony class. At any rate, Townsend, it is said, immediately filed a charge of misdemeanor embezzlement, placing the car's value at $100. This case eventually came to trial and resulted again in dismissal of the charge and release of Walker, who invoked the statute of limitations in his defense. A. E. Beals, charged with selling liquor to Anaheim high school students, had a hearing before Judge Northrup at Alambra Thursday, and was held for trial under a $2000 bond. In default of bail he was lodged in the Los Angeles county jail.
