TALK Of AIRSHIP
RACE FOR FIESTA
NOVEL FEATURE MAY BE
INTRODUCED
Sky Navigators Already In City VIII
Be Joined Soon by knabenshue.
Series of Contests
Proposed

A series of thrilling airship races
which will attract the attention of the
world sre planned for Los Angeles, and
may be held In connection with the big
fiesta next May
Roy Knabenshue, the peerless aerial
navigator who has been astonishing the
east with his marvellous flights, Is on
his way to Los Angeles. Capt. Thos.
Baldwin, inventor of the California
Arrow, is in Los Angeles. Alvah Rey-
nolds, inventor of the novel airship
Man Angel. is at his home in this city
and Wordin Trombly, whose flights
have startled residents of Los Angeles,
who are used to seeing aerial craft
flying through the air also is In this
vicinity.
These men have signified their WILL
ingness to compete in a series of races
and inaneuvers the like of which has
not been seen in years. Other aerial
navigators of America and possibly
a number from Europe may be in
duced to come to Los Angeles with
their craft in case the series is ar
ranged, say those who are in favor of
the plan.
The subject will be brought to the
attention of Secretary Ieehandelaar of
the Merchants and Manufacturers as
sociation, who is foremost in the work
of arranging tine big May entertain
ment 1t is proposed to offer cash
prizes of considerable value for these
races and demonstrations and it is be-
lieved that worldwide attention will
be attracted. In Los Angeles at the
time of the fiesta will be thousands
of Shriners from all parts of America
and races of aerial craft undoubtedly
would prove of great interest to the
visitors, say local members of the
order.
In connection with this series OF
races it has been suggested that there
is a challenge on between Reynolds
and Knabenshue for a match race for
$4,000. Local aerial navigators be-
lieve this race could be arranged for
fiesta time.
''Ihe sight of a number of airships
racing would certainly be novelty
for the Shriners," said a member of
that order yesterday. 1T seems to me
if such a series of races could be ar
ranged it would easily be the feature
of the fiesta in the way of a novelty"

Automobilists and other speed mani
acs yesterday presented a petition to
the legislative committee asking that
an ordinance be passed raising the
maximum speed through tunnels to six
miles an hour instead of four miles,
as now Is the case. The petition was
signed by many but no reasons were
given why the increased speed was de-
sired and the committee took no further
notice Of the petition than to file It.
The committee had no desire to grant

SAY ROBBERS FIRED STORE
Police Investigate Blaze in Millinery
Store Which They Say Was of
lncendiary Oriuin

Investigation of the fire In the mil
linery store belonging to Mrs. p. Bos-
cha, 2216 South Grand avenue, yester-
day morning shortly before 1 o'clock
revealed that the store had been
robbed of a large quantity Of goods
and set fire to by the robbers to cover
up their tracks"
The case was placed in the hands
of the police yesterday and a strict in
vestigatlon is being made. The officers
say that the burglars left small clew
and there is little hope of detecting
them at present.
A pedestrian passing discovered the
fire and notified the department. The
fire was eXtinguished and no suspicion
of the true nature of the affair was had
until Mrs. Boscha examined her store.

HOTELS OVERFLOW
WITH TOURISTS
MANY COMPELLED TO TURN
GUESTS AWAY
Rush Of Winter Visitors Continues
Unbroken and Estimates Of
$4,000 for the Season Are
Freely Made

still they comet Hundreds OF tourists
are arriving in Los Angeles every
week from all parts of the United
States. They are now coming In
steady stream and railroad officials say
that from their bookings In the eastern
cities they will continue to do so until
the great flood comes shortly after the
holidays.
Reports from Chicago state that the
railroads have booked more people for
passage to Los Angeles than ever be-
fore and that the greater part Of the
people who own automobiles are going
to bring their machines with them.
AS the freight rates on automobiles
across the country are high, this will
bring many additional dollars into the
Golfers Of the railroad companies.
Edward MCGEE, city passenger and
ticket agent for the Santa Fe, was
asked by tourist a few days ago how
many strangers come to the Angel city
during the winter season. He threw up
his hands and exclaimed, Thousands
and thousands and then more thou
sands" This is probably as near an
estimate as can be given.
Thousands have already come. The
first to arrive were the homeseekers
who have now either purchased their
homes and have settled down or are
negotiating for them, for very few who
came to California with the intention
of staying have gone back. Along with
them came the adventurers who are de-
sirous of seeing as much of the country
as they possibly can at the smallest
cost.
Hotels Are Crowded
After the excursion rates were
abandoned a more wealthy class of
people began to arrive. So many have
come that some of the first class hotels
are crowded to their utmost capacity
and every room from the top story to
the basement is engaged.
For the past week the clerks at the
Van Nuys hotel have been compelled
to turn away score of guests or more
every day because they could not ac-
commodate them. The Lankershinl,
Angelus and Westminster have let
many of their apartments for the en-
tire winter. The Hollenbeck and
Broadway Van Nuys are housing a
large number of guests, but to use the
words of their respective managers
"can take care of a few more"
All over Los Angeles apartment
houses and hotels and rooming houses
of various sorts have been In the pro-
cess of construction during the sum

LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE TURNS
DOWN SPEED MANIACS REQUEST

the demand and in fact had no power
to do so. state law regulates the
speed through tunnels and over bridges
as well as on the streets and roads, and
the maximum allowed by this law is
four miles through the tunnels. The
Legislative committee takes the credit
for the recent crusade of the police de-
partment against violators of the speed
ordinance and its members declare they
will not retrench from the position they
have assumed even to grant an addi-
tional two miles an hour.

MOTHERS TEARS
SAVE HER BOY
PLEADING LETTER AR0USES
JUDGES SYMPATHY
Epistle Covered With Tears Wruno
From Her Eyes by Wsywardness
Of Son, and Boy is Re.
leased From Custody

Police Judge Austin RENTED part of
the sentence of Harry Hedrick, the sup
posed hold-up boy, who was captured in
the southern part of the city several
weeks ago by Patrolmau J. M, Harri-
son, because of tear-stained letter re-
ceived yesterday from Mrs. ]. Hedricl1
OF Portland, the boys mother
When discovered by the patrolman
the boy was sneaking along fence on
Alameda street. Thinking that the boy
was acting suspiciously the officer sent
him to the police station. Upon search
ing the lad the officers found that he
was carrying Sneak shoes, a mask,
a loaded revolver and an outfit that
would well equip any expert footpad
From his description the police at
first thought that the boy was the
hold-up man that, during the three
weeks previous to the arrest, had been
holding UP women, children and roll
ing" drunks The lad proved his in
nocence of that charge but was SEM
fenced to 30 days in the city jail.
When the stern police judge pro-
nounced the sentence not the slightest
remorse was evident on the countenanca
of the 15-year-od lad. He coolly asked
the judge If he might say word and
when permission was given he said
that he was o runaway. He told the
court his parents address and asked
to be allowed to send a message TO
them. This was granted.
Mother Love Saves Boy
Filled with a mothers love, and bear
ing every evidence of a broken heart
the letter arrived and was submitted
to the judge and the chief of police.
All who read the letter were touched
and yesterday the lad was liberated.
A ticket arrived for the boy from
Los Angeles to Portland, and late last
evening he left the city for his home.
The police are inclined to believe that
he will never return home but will
leave the train between this city and
his intended destination.
According to the Officers the boy is
one of those that come to their notice
frequently for whom there seems to be
no hope of better life He is not a
hardened criminal the police say but
is not disposed to do anything but as
sociate with criminals. The pitiful ap-
peal from the mother is all that induced
| the officers to allow him to go free

Preparations are being made by
Sergeant Craig to GUST the gang of

To determine this question by sci

Academy of Sciences appropriated a

carry ON a series Of inquiries. The
results Of their labor have Just been
reported 60 the academy
The apparatus employed was IL

ing valve OF the heart another pipe
was connected leading 20 a third

liquid from the blood Jar aud

II was found that the heart pump
would pump over "a certain definite
amount Of blood every five minutes.
At the end Of this period OF time "A
new jar would be put under the
waste pipe. and by measuring the
blood n was found that the action
OF the heart was perfectly regular
Then all that was necessary 10 do
was 10 put a certain percentage cf

The doctors did not conclude that
the brain was necessarily stimu-
lated because Of the added volume Of
blood. But they informed the
academy that they were entirely
convinced that the brain Is sup
with a larger flow OF blood as a re-
suit of the action Of alcohol. and
that its normal action. or intoxica-
ton, is due TO that physical phe-
nomenon.
