WOMAN FINED FOR
MOTORING TOO FAST
Miss Olive Bennett Is First Member
of Fair Sex to Face Justice for
High Speeding with an
Automobile

Miss Olive Bennett holds the distinction
of being the first woman speeder to be
fined in the Los Angeles police court.
And Miss Bennett does not care anything
about the distinction either She likes TO
run her automobile in her own way, and
that is a good way from the point of
view of those who love speed. Miss Ben
nett lives in the Westlake district and
her father has given her big automo-
bile that she knows how to run
Many times the speed patrolmen nave
tried TO capture the girl, but she has
always eluded them because their motor
cycles were not made for the speed she
travels. Yesterday they found her on
Pico street going nearly thirty miles an
hour and followed her from Bona 10 Bon
ME Brae street.
When arrested she said she was going
to school and did not want to be bothered
going to the police courts.
When her case was called yesterday
morning her uncle appeared TO plead Ior
her Justice Rose looked over his glasses
in surprise.
Girl Fined SIS
A police officer was sent out for the
girl and she was brought from school TO
the ill-smellng court room for trial. The
justice heard the evidence and when the
girl refused to say anything fined her SO.
The officers say she is daring chauffeur
and drives with skill that would do credit
to man. Justice Rose seemed to think
lectured the young woman soundly.
Shortly after Miss Bennett was SEN
fenced a. D. Clark was arraigned on a
similar charge. He was fined $50 Clark
his fine and said: That's what 1t costs
to be man-1ust S. more than it does TO
be woman. She paid $15; / pay 500
Then he laughed and went on his way.

The oyster question is disturbing
Paris The Academy of Medicine has
had a methodical investigation made,
with the result OF establishing that IN
the last ten. years large number or
internal complaints besides typhoid
fever have bene traced to oysters kept
in polluted water. AS the outcome OF
its Inquiry the academy urges strict
official! inspection OF all oyster beds
and fattening establishments, with the
same surveillance In tra,nsN as is ex-
ercised over other foods. and the r1gor-
GUS exclusion Of all foreign oysters not
subjected to inspection as close as that
exercised in France.

SENATOR MORGAN.

Al senator, John T. Morgan, OF Ala
ba11la, has died at the age OF SO and
after thirty, years Of continuous serv-
Ice in the senate of the United States.
1t was in 1877 that Alabama sent Nor
gan to the senate. His fifth term ex-
Fpired March and he was again Sc
lected despite his advanced age and
an alternate named to succeed him,
should nature demand payment of the
debt SO long delayed. And as might
be reasonably expected, he died with
out taking his seat for his sixth term.
It is to be said of Morgan that he
held the complete confidence of those
who knew him best. No accusation a
