Young King of Spain Had to Flee
 From Burning Motor Car.
 LONDON, June s.-Under improved weather conditions King Alfonso of Spain paid an official visit to the city and was entertained at luncheon at the Guildhall by the lord mayor and cor poration of London. The processions both going and coming from the city were of the most imposing character and afforded the people an opportunity of giving a hearty welcome to the young monarch.
 Later King Alfonso and King Ed ward went in motor car to Ranelagh. where a special polo match had been arranged.
 After the dinner the Spanish ruler was present at a brilliant ball given by the Marchioness of Londonderry.
 The only unpleasant incident of the day occurred during an automobile trip. His majesty and three other per sons were occupants of the motor car and had passed through the shopping district without attracting unusual at- tention when the car was discovered to be on fire The king at once alehted and returned to Buckingham palace in another motor car provided by detec- tives from Scotland Yard who were in attendance on his majesty.

POOR OLD FRISCO


In resolution recently adopted by
the police board of San Francisco oc-
ours this remarkable admission:
"Since the last election the members
of the board have been importuned to
allow the opening of cafes and women's
grill rooms in every portion of the
city"
Why of course. Why not? What
does the innocent police board ex-
pect?
Did not the people of San Francisco
re-elect Ruef as boss and Schmitz as
mayor, on the broad platform of the
wide-open town? Sure. And as d re-
suit of that election why shouldn't the
police board he importuned To take
the lid from off every ward and pre-
cinct of San Francisco? 1t is natural
consequence of the election.

Their Schene to Escane

When the police tried to break into
n pool room on East Eighth avenue,
New York, the forty men inside hasti-
ly reaped the paraphernalia upon the
floor and set fire to It, They then
locked themselves behind steel doors.
and. raising the window. so that the
smoke could escape, they shouted in
unison, Fire! Fire.
panic Immediately broke out in
another part of the building among
factory girls. who rushed down the
stairs upon the police, and who had
to be rescued and quieted before the
raid could continue.
In the streets below there gathered
a great crowd, whose efforts to locate
the fire and to help the girls still more
impeded the police. When the officers
entered the room the last vestiges of
the evidence they hoped to secure was
burning ashes.
They paused long enough to put out
the fire. which was burning i'll the
walls, and then they rounded up the
forty gamblers and took them to the
station. THE GOTHAMITE.

TOO MANY FAKERS

There are too many takers in Los
Angeles. Too many men and women
who appear to have license to rob and
deceive the public.
So-called palmists 'psychists," plain
fortune-tellers, persons claiming many
varieties and assortments of religion
all having in view the same end
money.
1t would be unkind to say that Los
Angeles is a good field for these per,
sons or they wouldn't be here. But it
is also true that any large city that
permits or licenses such schemes of
fraud is an equally good field. They
are not allowed to open their shops in
such numbers in any other flrst-class
city, Why should Los Angeles tolerate
them?
The police say they are tolerant be-
cause the people arc. other city Of
ficials give similar excuse. But Tho
Herald believes the people would be
glad 20 have all these takers notified to
move on. They should not be allowed
TO ply their trade in a city of such in
telligence and decency as is Los An
gees They are presuming too far
upon the good nature and liberal spirit
Of citizens.

who led them into an evil resort. Fol-
lowing them, the officers broke down

the girls.
The prisoners sentenced today were
charged with bringing three girls to
New York from Newark, N. J. one of

PRISON FOR SPEED MANIAcs

They do things differently in Franco.
a French court has just sentenced
a speed-mad autoist to three months
in Jail, TO pay a fine and to present
$4,000 to the parents Of a child who
was killed by his furiously driven car.
The speed maniac is citizen OF the
United States, the grandson OF one of
the now-dead Vanderbilts.
Now. there is no ethical reason, no
| legal one, no moral one. why even the
grandson Of q Vanderbilt shouldn't be
punished II no prove crminally care
less In running his automobile. He
should he as amenablc to the law as
anyone else is. But can VIC imagine
scion of the Vanderbits in this
country being sent to jail for three
months, even Il he Kill a whole
| family?
Yet why not? Is a Vanderbilt or the
son Of a Vanderbilt above the law?
II this speed maniac had killed a
child in this country, doubtless he
would have been arrested. Probably
] ne WOulu lltNC D6tl lIltu, anu IL IOullu
guilty would have been fined. Per-
haps too. he would have been ordered
to pay damages to the family he had
bereaved All Of that is not even un-
usual; autoists are fined, even in Los
Angeles semi occasionally.
But the point to this French affair
is that three months Imprisonment
goes with the sentence. 1t is easy
for a rich autoist to pay a fine and
even to settle damage suit, but when
you come to put Imprisonment before
him--that's different. He doesn't mind
the money cost; he has plenty. and he
can't spend il fast enough anyhow.
But 1ail-thats awful
We in Los Angeles have long sought
to curb the speed maniac, but in vain.
We arrest them and fine them; they
pay laugh and go out and speed
again. The fine is merely proof of
superior going ability
Try few imprisonments.

Special Correspondence Of The Herald.
NEW YORK, Dec. 9-This New York
is a funny old town, sometimes. Here
is a late instance of its folly.
An uptown hotel made an attempt
to increase its dining room business
one night recently on an altogether
unique plan. The management sent
out fifty free tickets for an elaborate
table d'hote dinner. Such celebrities
as were I'm town received these free
soup tickets but not a solitary one Of
them appeared. John Drew, Willie
Collier and Reggie Vanderbilt all had
the chance Of getting a free dinner, but
they were strangely Indifferent to the
chance. They did not even send prox-
les. The manager of the place stood
around the dining room door between
and Q. but he did not have the pleas
tire of seeing one of his tickets turned
