For the sum of $3.50 in one wager
Scott and Milling risked their lives.
for fun, Scott bet Milling $50 that the
tires would not burst. One tire slip
ped and Scotty not only loses the bet
but may lose his life.
Leaving the chamber of commerce
building at S:13 O'Clock, we sped to-
ward Pasadena. Our driver cared
nothing for human forms which went
scurrying about trying to evade the
great devil he was driving. OF hair
breadth escapes there were many.
Faster, faster" urged Scott whenever
he could make himself heard. We
reached Pasadena, turned at the Troy
laundry and started back even faster
than we had come. "Ill show you how
to break records" was Scott's tri-
umphant shout to Milling as the cow
boy caught a glimpse of his watch as
an arc light flew by overhead.
When we reached the Buena Vista
street bridge Scottys desire to win
not the money, but the wager-became
overpowering. He leaned forward to
Keho and shouted: Faster, faster!"
Keho was doing up to the limit of safe
ty and then some, but Scotty meant to
be obeyed. Keho increased the speed
and the big machine fairly leaped
across the bridge.
Never will l forget the expression on
Scott's face as we started around the
turn at the west end of the bridge. Tri-
umph was in his eye as he waved his
watch frantically. Then something gave
way. The tire slipped and the ma
chine slued toward the stone embank-
ment Scotty's expression changed in
an instant-not to a look of fear, but
to one of concern. Then we struck
the bank and it was all over. They
picked us up and put us on the car,
but none remembered anything of that.
AS we came downtown on the car
Scotty lay with his eyes shut but al
most mechanically took out his watch
time and again and murmured: Fast
er, faster!"

VICTIM OF ACCIDENT TELLS
OF SC0TT'S MAD RACE IN
AUTOMOBILE TO WIN $500

To whizz madly by houses, telephone
poles, trees and all other imaginable
objects, stationary and otherwise, to

the automobiles engine was even then

Alyliance. The object set forth was to
show sympathy with the demands now
being made in Russia for constitutional
government, "and for the assistance OF
our freedom, poor and suffering hun
ger and other privations at the hands
Of a relentless, oppressive government =
John Romanszehwez, viee-ehancellor
of the Polish National Alliance, pre-
sided, and several Others made speeches
in Polish. The resolutions say in part:
"To the people Of the Russian En-
pire, who because of the misfortunes
their country has lately suffered in the
agony Of despair, are attempting to
break the bonds of political slavery
and are seeking in a constitutional de-
fense against the autocracy and bureau
cracy, the cause of these misfortunes,
We extend our sympathy and pray
that success may crown their efforts.
"We condemn the murders and
bloody assaults of defenseless people,
committed at the instigation of the
minions Of the Cars bureaucracy.
"Actuated by feeling of righteous
indignation at the commission of such
cruelties unheard of in the history Of
the world, and realizing the gravity of
the present situation in Russian Po-
land, we appeal TO a free people of
America, who at all times have ex-
pressed sympathy and given assistance
to those oppressed and struggling for
fredom. that they win not forget our
beloved country, which sent forth to
the assistance of the struggling new
American Republic Kosciusko and
Pulaski, which furnished hundreds of
volunteers in the ranks OF the army
that struggled for the freedom of the
eolored man; Poland, whose sons in
hundreds enlisted under the American
flag in its latest war for the mdepend.
ence of Cuba.
''In the face of the news sent to us
from our native land, and where the
Polish people are massing themselves
in support Of their natural rights to a
political existence as nation; where
our people are falling as martyrs to a
cause; where the prisons are being
filled with innocent people, we, Poles
now living in America, do not only
sympathize with our countrymen in
Poland, and do not only unanimously
approve the demands made by them Of
the Russian Government, but we obi
gate ourselves to support, according to
our means, the cause Of our country
