S. Conwell, Manager Maxwell Automo-
bile Agency, Los Angeles: My Dear Mr..
Conwell-With reference to that trophy
have written Capt. Ryus fully con-
corning the only restrictionsI made in
its donation.
when this race was first discussed
/ understood from newspaper reports
that it was the idea to duplicate as near
as possible race course in Southern
California that would rival the Wander
bilt and Florida events and that the
big racing cars of the world would be
invited to participate. But since then,
and in fact 1 conclude from your entry
blank it seems that it is to be merely
a repetition of all previous races be-
tween dealers who have specially
tuned up stock cars.
s. I'm my opinion the only interest that
would be excited will be that of wish
ing to see these cars that the public
have watched so often on race tracks
demonstrate their speed on a race
course. so that therefore it would be
nothing unusual, and aside from tne
casual interest exhibited by respective
owners of automobiles the public at
large will not be attracted, and so the
original purpose is lost
I'm offering so expensive trophy I
consider 1 have the right to nominate
this restriction, and must therefore in
sist that this trophy be raced for by
such class of cars as participate IN the
Vanderbilt and Florida races My sole
object Is to bring to Southern Calltor-
mia the racing monsters the public at
large have read so much about ana
make such an event as will be chron-
icled and recognized all over the coun-

HARTFORD TIRE WINS
NEW PERFECT SCORE
Sends Two Mitchell Cars Over Finish
Line of Twenty-four Hour
Race Without Any Tire
Trouble

Word has been received by Chanslor
& Lyon that another perfect score"
has been won by their Hartford tires
In a race which YVES much more, Sc
we're test than the recent contest at
Ascot park on Decoration day, when
the Mitchell car made six-hour fight
for supremacy without being required
to leave the track once on account OF
tire trouble.
This new victory, according to 1nfor-
nation received by Chanslor & Lyon,
was won at the twenty-four hour race
at San Leandro, near San Francisco,
May 30-31, by, strange as it may seem,
a Mitchell car, travelling the distance
of 654 miles in twenty-four hours, never
having been compelled in all these
hours to come to stop once on ac-
count of tire trouble The Mitchell
car in particular was a seven-p assen-
ger touring car. which carried full
complement of Seven passengers all
the time and distance
A second Mitchell car, also using
Hartford tires, completed the distance
required under the schedule within the
allotted time, but was penalized on
account of a spark plug. The tires,
however, were also in perfect condi-
tion-a remarkable thing, indeed, for
a tire to stand really two perfect
scores" across the tape with but two
cars starting with these tires as part
of their equipment.

.FIRESTONE DRIVES
HOBBY TO SUCCESS

"The management of the New York
to- Seattle race is TO be congratulated"
said H. S. Firestone, the well known
tire manufacturer ION the stand they
have taken in requiring that contest
ants lose time for tire as we'll as any
other motor car trouble encountered
en- route.
They have set standard which the
managers of other events may well fol-
low with profit to the motorist. 1t is
gradually becoming recognized that
tire service is properly part and parcel
with automobile efficiency as a whole,
and that motor car maker is morally
lust as responsible for selecting SER
viceable tires as any other part of his
cars equipment.
"In this 4000-mile race where every
car is left to its own resources, the inn
portance of having the best possible
tire service can scarcely be overesti-
mated. 1t is only natural. therefore,
that four out of six cars. including the
pace maker, should have chosen Fire.
stone tires in preference to all Others"

When the Indianapolis Motor Speed

HOLDS A
jim THE PENMAN
IN KNOCKERS
Edward Francis, at IA, Is Called
an Expert Forger of
Checks.

Edward Francis, the 14-year-old boy
arrested as a forger. was arraigned and
held at the Fourth Precinct Police
Court under 5000 bail on three charges
of forgery today. The lad has admit
ted his guilt. 1t is alleged.
Francis was in the employ of Lowry
&c Berger, and was at various times
sent out to cash checks. He thu be-
came acquainted with the business men
with whom the firm deals. One of the
~complainants was Conrad Leick, of 119
Market street. Here Francis dashed a
check for $40. At 23S Washington street
a check from the firm of Lowy & Ber-
ger and signed ~. b. Finger, treas
urer," was cashed to the amount of
$15. Francis also cashed a check at
the grocery store of Daniel NJ. Brown,
of p Wright street. for s25. 1t is al
legged that in every case the signatures
We're forgeries.
When questioned as to what lie had
done with the money the boy gave va
rying replies. To Patrolmen Heller and
Holzhauer, of the Sixth Precinct, who
made the arrest, he is alleged to have
stated that he had spent some of the
money in moving picture places and
that he had bought many presents for
his friends. He told the patrolmen that
he had placed $50 of the money under a
stone In a lot, 1t is said. When the
place was visited no money was found.
The boy is IN excellent penman and
the remarkable resemblance of the sig
natures to the genuine IS thus explained
by his %accusers.

WILL ASK DISMISSAL OF
SUIT RESTRAINING SEWER.
Commissions Counsel Takes Pc
titiOn to Supreme Court.

Chandler w. Riker, counsel for the
Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission,
went to Washington today to move
for a dismissal of the suit in the United
States Supreme Court, brought against
the commission by the New York Mer-
chants Association and others to re-
strain the commission from placing the
outlet of the proposed trunk sewer at
Robbins Reef. Hugh Gordon Miller,
of New York. special assistant to the
of the United States
in this case, went to the capital to OPP
pose the granting of the petition.
1t was thought until a few days ago
that it would be possible for the two
sides in the case to get together on the
proposition and do away with further
litigation, using the report of Colonel
Black as a basis for the conference.
The meeting ended in nothing, how
ever, and the proceedings for dismissal
were continued.

NEWARK WOODMEN
SEEK FUNDS TO MD
CONSUMPTION WAR
Will Give Fete to Provide Cot
tages at Colorado Springs
Sanitarium.

In order to raise funds for the estab-
Hshment of a street of cottages at their
eanitarium at Colorado Springs, Colo,
the United Camps of Essex and Hud-
son counties. Modern Woodmen Of
America. will hold an entertainment,
dance and competition drills in Krue-
gers Auditorium. December ..
AS there are about twenty camps in
this section, with a membership Of
about 100, and four members ave
been appointed from each camp on the
general committee, 1t will be seen that
some spirit will be shown in the efforts
to raise money for this purpose 1t is
the intention of the local camps to try
to raise about $4,000, which will build
twenty cottages and form a street.
1t is proposed to name the street Jer-
sey avenue, and 1t will be for the bene-
At of those members of the order who
live In this State. The Modern Wood
men on January 1 of this veal opened
their free s~anitar1um, for the treatment
and cure of members afflicted with
tuberculosis. Any beneficial member
suffering from this disease Is privileged
to enter, and he is cared for and treated
free of charge. Since it opened, there
have been 146 cottages built, ach ac-
combating one patient. On September
] fourteen members were discharged as
cured.
The Woodmen have 1880 acres of
ground in this spot and raise their own
cattle and vegetables. They also have
their own reservoir, which is located on
q mountain three miles back of the
main buildings. The outlay in erecting
the main buildings, which include a
utility building. containing medical
headquarters, laboratory, nurses quar-
ters,s Diet kitchens, baths, superinten-
dents and doctors, quarters, along with
tho land, was ss4,60s. The supervision
ofgthe sanitarium is in. charge of DIR.
u Fs White, who, previous to taking
charge. was for years medical director
of The Nordrach Ranch Santtarium. at
the springs, and is recognized as n of
the worlds experts in the treatment of

tertainment a handsome souvenir pro-
gram is being arranged, which will

Constipation and
Appendicitis
The Latter Usually Caused By The
Former. Which, In Turn. Has Its
Origin In Intestinal Indigestion.

Chronic constipation is a disease which
Ii about as prevalent as dyspepsia and IN
digestion. Nearly every one suffers from
it occasionally. but there are millions OF
people who endure it h~abituaiy. and who
are accustomed to resort to the use OF
laxatives and cathartics daily.
Many people seemed to have developed
a perfect mania for taking pills, and In
stead of trying to ascertain the latent
cause of the disease. and removing it by
appropriate treatment, they are content to
continue the reckless use Of laxatives,
aperients, drastic cathartics and violent
purgatives, until finally Inflammation OF
the bowels occurs, which reaches the APP
pendix, and the result is appendicitis.
In investigating and tracing the causa-
tive factors Of constipation and its fire.
auent sequel, appendicitis, 1t has been
noted by physicians that the majority of
cases were preceded and accompanied by
a long-standing castro intestinal indiges-
ton.
The idea that appendicitis is brought on
by foreign bodies. such as seeds, etc., be-
coming lodged in the appendix. Is an ex-
ploded theory. 1t is now definitely known
that constipation is the most prolific cause
Of thls dread disease, while the constipa-
ton itself is previously induced by intesti-
nal indigestion, Or amylaceous dyspepsia
the inability to digest starches-so the re-
lation between cause and effect Is readily
seen and appreciated.
The absurdity of attempting to cure
constipation by the use Of physic should be
apparent to every one. Laxative drugs and
powerful purgatives will never cure a dis
ease of this sort, and those ID make ire
quent or regular use Of them will, sooner
sor later. set up an infiammatory condltlon
of the Intestinal system. 80,
A person with first-class digestion VIII
never be annoyed with chronic constipation
and when this trouble does exist, instead OF
smuggling the system with pills, liquid laxa-
tives, candy cathartics, ETC., use a remedy
which will cure the gastro-intestina indi-
gestion. and you Will find that the consti-
patton no longer bothers you, and with its
removal, the risk of developing appendicitis
will be reduced to the minimum.
STUART'S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS have
been the means of curing numerous cases
of constipation, by first curing the intesti-
nal indigestion. They digest every kind of
food, a single grain being capable of d.
gesting 3,0G grains of alimentum, and In
g~estives, they also contain diastase, which
converts starch into sugar. and readily
cures amylaceous dyspepsia and intestinal
indigestion.
II you are suffering from dyspepsia. con-
stipation, and, in fact, indigestion OF any
kind, don't run the risk Of getting appendi-
citis, but strike at the root OF the trouble
pepsia Tablets. which will quickly rid you
OF all functional disorders Of the alimentary
tract. Il

A central bank will not effect

1t will accentuate many of our
