I'm Terrible Plight-Disease
Cured by Cuticura

My six year old daughter had the dread
tul disease called hives for two months.
She became afflicted by playing with chill
dren who had it. By scratching she caused
large sores which were irritating. Her
body was complete sore but it was worse
on her arms and back. We employed a
physician who left medicine but it did not
help her and tried several remedies but
without avail. Seeing the Cuticura Rene
dies advertised | thought | would try

Board of Directors Objects to Paying Fee for
Holding Automobile Events
By x. K. FH0mmedieu

One Of the most important meetings
of automobile enthusiasts that has been
held since the motor car came to Cali
fornia took place yesterday when the
board of directors of the San Francisco
motor club convened. The action taken
at that time undoubtedly will greatly
affect the future OF the sport of auto
mobiling. A letter was read from l..
p. Lowe, president of the California
state automobile association, in which
1t was stated that a sanction would be
required for the programmed events of
the club by the American automobile
association. The motor club is not af-
hliated with the American automobile
association nor as by the requirements
of that association is 1T a member
of 5she California state automobile as
sociation. its recognized representative
in California north of Tehachapi.
1t was inferred from the letter that
II such application was not made for
sanction the club would be con-
sidered what is generally called an
outlaw organization. From the discus
sions by the members of the board of
directors it was seen that they were
heartily in favor of one governing or
ganization in the United States, and
since the fact has been brought to their
notice, they were in favor of joining
the American automobile association by
becoming members of the California
state automobile association In fol-
lowing out the same line of reasoning
they considered IT proper that all
events should be sanctioned by such a
body. But they also felt that the
membership fee required should bring
the privileges of holding contests
where no gate receipts accrued, in
stead OF being required to pay a sane
tion fee ranging fom 500 to $500,
according TO the nature of the event

sanction were made conditional on the
waving of the sanction fee in cases
where there are no gate receipts.
The income of the clubs, and in fact
all the automobile associations here, is
such that it would be hardship to pay
the required sanction fees. especially
when IL is considered that practically
the only benefit to be derived is the
privilege of being able to claim mem
bership in a national organization. The
energies of the American automobile
association are directed principally to
the east, where the officers and head
quarters are located. The members of
the board of directors feel that in pay
ing a membership fee they are doing
their duty in helping to pay the SAL
aries of a lot OF officials who subsist
from such an income without paying
further tribute in the way of sanction
fees.
AS one member expressed it: IF the
American automobile association does
not see tit to accept our good will and
moral support. we will be practically
just what we are. local organization,
honestly using our best endeavorS to
advance the interest of automobiling in
San Francisco for the owners of motor
cars. We are not seeking to control
the game. but are merely working for
a little enjoyment in giving events in
which, from an unselfsh motive, We
invite all enthusiasts to participate"
Tony Nichols, chairman of the con-
test committee, was In conference with
the directors and reported the progress
of arrangements for the hill climb
Sunday 1t was decided that no entry
would be received after 8 a. m. to-
morrow. Every entry must be in the
hands of the chairman of the contest
committee by that time. These entries
can be made at Nichols headquarters,

BRUTALLY ATTACKS
Ills BENEFACTOR
Fred Hoops Strikes Charles
Schlesinger, Saloon Keeper,
With Gaspipe
Victim Rescued by NeighbOrs,
Who Threaten to Lynch
the Assailant

Lynch law was nearly applied last
evening to Fred Hoops. alias Charles
w. Becker, who made brutal assault
with a piece of gas pipe on Charles
SchIesinger, a saloon keeper OF 14ll
Green street. Hoops, who had been
befriended by Schlesinger, treacher-
ously entrapped the saloonman in a
rear room of the Green street place.
struck him savage blows on the head
with a piece of gas pipe is inches long
and might have killed his victim had
not three neighbors. E. R Powell, an
insurance agent of 1927 Green street; j.
Mischen, a florist. and Edward Michel
sen, aroused by Sch1esinger's cries.
rushed to his rescue and seized the
burly assaiiant. The assault occurred
at Gas o'clock.
THREATS OF LYNCHING
Before Policeman Robert Emmett
Moore-who. in poetic justice to the
day, made the arrest-could arrive on
the scene Hoops was severely beaten
by mob of friends of Schlesinger, who
We're attracted to the saloon by the
noise of the struggle. Threats of lynch
| ing were made against the man. who
is known to have partaken or the
bounty of his victim during the last
three weeks.
Hoops was locked up at the city
prison on charges of assault with In
tent to commit. murder and attempted
robbery. The man has a bad reputa-
tion with the police. Recently. while
employed as bar tender in a saloon at
176 East street, he was arrested on a
charge of robbing a man OF S76, but
the case was dismissed for lack OF
evidence. Hoops wife is hard work
ing woman who supports herself and
family by conducting a bakery in
Union street near Octayia-
STRUCK ON HEAD
Hoops had been hanging about
Schlesinger's saloon for several weeks.
Last evening it happened that he and
the proprietor were alone in the place.
Schlesinger went to the rear OF the
building to attend to a Hight. AS he
was returning 10 the barroom Hoops
made out as if to pass him in a small
room, and just as the saloon keeper
had stepped beyond Hoops, the latter
turned and struck him terrific blow
on the head with the gas pipe, caus-
| ing a long scalp wound.
Schlesinger Immediately put up a
| fight, but was beaten on the head three
time before the neighbors rushed in
and saved the man from his powerful
and murderous assailant. A mob of 1OC
men quickly gathered about the place
and threatened violence. The police
had to use force to take Hoops safely
away.
Il made a mistake was all Hoops
would say in extenuation OF his crime
Il befrfended that fellow and that's
what makes me feel bad about it," de-
clared Schlesinger. Schlesinger's in
juries are painful, but not necessarily
serious.
