POLICE AUTO IS
VICTOR IN CHASE
EXCITING BRUSH WITH SPEED
Vl0LAT0R
Motor cyeIlst cornered by Swift
"chug Wagon" Employed by
Police After Desperate
Chase

In desperate race between the new
Los Angeles police patrol automobile
and law breaking motor cyclist
through the fashionable residence dis
trict of the city yesterday morning,
the auto proved victorious, and after
a chase of several miles ran down the
cyclist. and the officers, leaping from
their machine, arrested their man after
having cornered him near Hoover and
West Adams streets.
The arrest was one of ten made by
the auto patrol during the day, and
with the machine In service the last
hope of the speeding autoist has been
removed and fast drivers will either
have to lower their speed or be chased
down and captured.
The work of arrest was effected by
officers Roy Allen and Jean Mojonier,
who have been detailed as the auto
squad. The machine was Ford, re-

club.
I'VE were driving west on Pico street
and had just reached the junction of
Main street when we noticed motor
cycle going south at tremendous rate
of speed" said officer Allen yesterday
in speaking of the capture 1--WE were
intending to follow a party of motor
cyclists who were infringing on the
speed ordinance when this particular
machine came to our notice.
II was steering and I instantly
opened up and started in pursuit.
Block after block we went without the
distance between us increasing or
diminishing dozen feet. The man
evidently thought we were racing with
him, and his machine. a California
motor cycle, being capable of about
thirty miles an hour, the pace was a
warm one.
He finally decided to slow up after
we had passed Adams street and we
headed him off He did not get off his
machine as we came up with him, and
when we told him he was under arrest
he opened the sparker and like a shot
turned past us and started west on
Adams street. Here he had every adj
vantage. as smooth bicycle path is
at the side of the street while the thor
oughfare is considerably cut up. 1t
was a test of speed. and we went the
limit, especially as the street was clear
OF pedestrians at that time of the
morning. We at last cornered him near
Hoover street and arrested him. These
motor cycles have no numbers and for
this reason are of greater danger than
an auto. The only way to make an ar
rest when following a cycle is to run
it down and secure the man on the
spot, and with the use of this automo-
bile we expect to be able to arrest
every violator of the speed ordinance"
At the police station the cyclist
gave the name of A. w. Hall, a cycle
manufacturer at 429 East Seventh
street, and his bail was placed at $780,

The word "tip" originated in the old
English coffee houses. At the door of
these coffee houses was a box made
usually of brass, with lock and key.
1t had engraved upon 1t the letters "T.
I. p" (Observe the stops between the
letters)-"To insure promptness." Gus
toners, as they passed out, dropped a
coin in for the walters. Hence the
word "tip."

Friendship

There are few men so ignorant of the
chances end turns in human life as not
to realize that one of the most avail
able assets of success is friendship.
Many a man has gone to the top
through the countless little shoVes up
ward he has received from a friend
here and friend there, hardly notice.
able at the time. Yet many of these
successful men are unhappy from the
mere fact that, while having made hun
dreds and perhaps thousands of friends,
he has never focused the glance of his
friendship sufficiently near his own
hearth as to make a friend of his wife.
If man has a good wife he has the
best friend Ii is possible to have. "A
mans best friend" says Bulwer Lyt-
ton, sis wife of good sense and good
heart whom he loves and who loves
him. In woman there is at once a sub
tie delicacy of tact and plain sound
ness of judgment which are rarely COM
bined to an equal degree in a man. A
woman, If she be really your friend,
will have a sensitive regard for your
character, honor, repute. She will sell
dom counsel you to do a shabby thing,
for woman always desires to be proud
OF you. At the same time, her constitu-
tional timidity makes her more cautious
than your male friend. She, therefore,
seldom counsels you to do an impru-
dent deed"
A wife best shows her friendship by
clipping off her husbands moral nature
little twigs that are growing in the
wrong direction. If he says anything
silly she will affectionately tell him so.

absurd, she will find means to prevent
him doing so. If Dr. Johnsons wife

WEATHER CAUSES
MENTAL ILLNESS
PHYSICIANS SPECULATE AS TO
SUICIDES
Believe Cold, Fosey Nights and Warm,
Cloudy Days Responsible for
Attempts at Self
Destruction

That the cold. foggy nights and
warm, cloudy days, with the oppres-
sive atmospheric conditions such as
have prevailed in Los Angeles during
the past week, have been conducive to
the development of melancholla and
the more violent forms of insanity, is
the firm belief of a number of promi-
nent local physicians and nerve
specialists.
The unusual number of suicides and
attempted suicides have occasloned
considerable speculation among MEM
bers of the medical fraternity, and
many of them express the opinion that
weather conditions have had much to
do in bringing about this deplorable
state of affairs.
II do not wish to be understood to
say that these oppressive weather con-
ditions have been the cause of insanity,
because as a rule insanity is not de-
veloped in such short space of time. 3"

have been very conducive to depres-

TO THE CAPITOL AND RETURN,
Trip from the White House Was
Continuous Ovation for the Presi-
dent.

Washington, March AT least two
hours before the time set for the Presi-
dents departure for the capitol crowds
began to gather in the square in front
of the executive mansion. Promptly at
10 O'Clock the President entered his
carriage drawn by four horses and a
detachment of his old regiment, the
famous Rough Riders, commanded by
Colonel Alex. A. Brodie, riding on eth
er side as his personal escort started
for the capitol. Squadron A, of the
national guard of the state of New
York and a detachment of Spanish war
Veterans and a body of United States
army veterans also formed a part of
the escort. Lieutenant General Chaffee
with his staff, in full military dress
and superbly mounted, headed the
Presidents carriage by a short dis
tance. The President was seated on
the right seat and to his left sat Sem
2tor Spooner, chairman of the Congress
sional inaugural committee, while fac
ing .hem on the front seat were Sena-
tor Lodge, of Massachusetts,, and Rep
resentative DalZell, of Pennsylvania,
members of the Congressional joint in
augural committee. Vice President
elect Fairbanks carriage followed the
Presidents carriage, with him being
Senator Bacon, OF Georgia, and Repre-
sentative Crumpacker, of Indiana. AS
the Presidents carriage wheeled into
Pennsylvania avenue proper he leaned
far out to one side and shading his
eyes with his hand took n look down
the avenue. He was kept constantly
bowing in answer to tmultous ap-
plause.
Among the features of the military
division of the parade were the south
ern troops. II was nip and tuck between
the Marylanders and their Virginia
comrades who followed them as to
which received the greater ovation.
For every Marylander on the sidewalks
there was a virginian close by to
match him in every yell and the loud
greeting given the Maryland militia
merged into that none the less sponta-
neous and enthusiastic which greeted
the Governor and troops Of Virginia.

THE INAUGURAL BALL.
Scene of Great SpIendor i'm the I'm
provised Italian Gartien-Six Thou
sand Persons in Attendance.

Washington, March 4.-The inaugural
festivities closed at midnight with a
ball that in splendor, attendance and
artistic effect only ushered out a bril-
liant spectacular day. Many thousands
of lovely gowned women with escorts
from nearly every state in the union
paid their social devoirs to the nations s
chief executive of the next four years.
The setting for the ball was beautiful,
with a riotous wealth OF color dn low-
ers. evergreens, lights and plants. The
ball opened fromally at half past n'ne
O'Clock with arrival of President and
Mrs. Roosevelt and party and the Vice
President and Mrs. Fairbanks.
The inaugural gown Of Mrs. Roose-
velt surpassed in beauty and simple
elegance all expectations. It was OF
pale electric blue satin, made with a
train and decollette with short puff
sleeves. Mrs. Roosevelt wore in her
hair q pale blue plume and arried a
beautiful boquet of orchids and lilies Of
the valley. Around the neck of hec
gown was rare old point lace, and she
wore a magnificent necklace of dia-
mondS.
Mrs. Fairbanks wore a gown Of white
SdCll uucneSSe, the 1aOrlc richly en-
broidered at intervals with roses Of
gold, in the natural size Of the flowers,
the graceful folds Of the full trained
skirt showing to advantage the beauty
of this unique design
Among the other gowns which at
tracted most attention was that of Miss
Roosevelt. 1t was Of white satin with
a train. The tails of the white sa,ip
coat extended to the edge OF the train

RUNNING FIRE OF COMMENT.
The President Greatly Enjoys the Pa
ra(e and Called Attention to Many
of the Features

washington, March Att was a
great success. Great, And did you note
that bunch of cowboys? Oh, they are
the boys who can ride. It was all su-
rerb. am really touched to the heart"
This was the comment made by Pres
iGent Roosevelt to a representative of
ing the reviewing stand at the con-
clusion of the magnificent inaugural
parade in his honor.
During the greater part of the review
the president kept up a running fire of
comment with Senator Bacon on vari-
Gus features of the parade, losing not
an opportunity to call attention to the
features which were carrying into eff
feet his own views and opinions.
Presently came swinging along, in
perfect form, the native Porto Rican
military contingent. Turing to Senator
Bacon, of Georgia, the President re-
marked: They look. pretty we'll for
an oppressed people, eh, Senator?" and
then aside: II really shuddered slight
ly today as 1 swore to obey the consti-
tuition" and then he laughed.
When the fine Filipino band, playing
the Presidents favorite tune Garry
Owen passed at the head of the Fill
pino scouts, beautifully drilled and dis
ciplined, the President again turned
to Senator Bacon and remarked: The
wretched serfs disguise their feelings
admirably" and he chuckled signifi-
cantly.
1.-TWO more battleshfps" again said
the President as the "jackies'' from
he in ha n ma
by. He applauded them enthusiastical-
ly and, turning to his party, said Those
are the men who will help to avert the
danger of an international war. And,
h. the way, one of the new battleships
is to be nam ed South Carolina III honor
of Legare," referring to Representative
Legare Of Charleston who worked for
the appropriations for the navy re-
Gueste1 by the administration.
Senator Lodge during the review
changed his seat to one just behind the
President. Laughingly the President
turned to him and said. SO that Senator
Bacon might hear it. You should have
seen Bacon hide his face when the
F;lipinos came by. The slaves were
rejoicing in their shackles.''
AS a band heading the Delaware mil
itary contingent passed playing Dixie
the President said: That is one Of the
hest tunes in the lot"
Again when one OF the Pennsylvania
bands played There Will Be a Hot
Time in the Old Town Tonight the
President swung himself from side to
side in consonance with the music and
