we're unavailing, and the $10O that had
to accompany each one went into the
Golfers of the association.
The Stearns was protested on the
ground that the dealer who handles 1t
was not a member of the association a.
the time specified by the committee.
This was given as the reason why
Harry Harrison scratched his entry OF
the Peerless, which was to compete
with the Stearns.
Was Waste of Time
Mr.. Shelter announced before the en-
tiles were made public that there would
rot be any cars that would be thrown
out on account of protests, so that II
was a waste of time and money to file
q protest.
While Shelter had things pretty
much his own way yesterday he failed
to beat the Tourist. which he had an
ounced publicly he would do Whether
1t was because he did not spend $4,000
IN building a REQ, as he is credited
with saying he would do, or because he
failed to build as well as he thought he
could and not quite so we'll as the
Tourist people can. is question that is
as yet unanswered. At any rate, the
chances are strong that he will not be
efforded another opportunity to COM
rete on the Altadena hill under the aus
pices of the dealers association, as
that institution will undoubtedly go to
smash IN the near future.

ONE BOY STUNNED
/ GET SCRATCHES
WHILE COAST|NG
Pilot Didn't See Telegraph Pole
and Pile of BriCks-COl-
IisiOn Resulted.

One boy was badly stunned and rem
dered unconscious for several minutes
last night, while eleven others were
scratched and bruised as the result of
a mishap while coasting down Seven
tenth avenue on a bob sled.
When the sled was nearing the Ed
son Electric Lamp Works at Boyd
street, Joseph Kastncr, who was steer
ing, diverted his eye from the steering
gear for a moment. AS a result the
sled crashed into a pile of bricks and
a telegraph pole in front of the Edison
Works. Kastner was thrown violently
to the pavement. He was unconscious
when taken to a nearby saloon, but
soon revived. He then went to his
home, SO Lille street.
The other occupants were prompt in
jumping from the sled when they saw
that a crash was inevitable, They did
not escape entirely, however, all OF
them sustaining scratches and bruises
and being badly shaken up.
This is only one of several coasting
accidents which have occurred OH the
"HiP' section within the last few
days.

COPIED HIS
BILL FROM HUGHES,
ROBBINS CLAIMS
Jersey SOlOns Should Quit il
They Can't Draw Own
Measures, He Says.
GFrom a Staff Correspondent

TRENTON, Feb. Ex-senator Rob
bins severely attacked the Colby bill
at the public utilities Senate hearing
yesterday, OF the ground that it was
merely a copy of the Hughes bill in
New York. and said thai If New Jer-
sey couldn't get up a bill of it's own
that the New Jersey Legislature might
as well go out of business.
William H. Parry, of Nutley, re-
sponded by saying that If the Robbins
bill were passed without embodying
the features hat have been embodied
in the legislation of other States the
bill itself would go out of business
when 1t came to be passed upon by the
Supreme Court, on the ground Of it's
unconstitutionality
1.-THE Colby BILL" he continued. sis
based on the Hepburn act, under
which the Interstate Commerce Com
mission is working, and on the Hughes
bill of New York. These acts have
been tested by thecourts of New York
and the Supreme Court of the United
States. Why should we discard this
bill, which is founded on legislation
that has stood the test of the courts
merely because it did not originate in
the brains of Jerseymen?"
MI. Parry declared there was too
much red tape about the Robbins bill.
