BOASTS HE SECURED
MONEY TOO EASILY
YOUTH SAYS NO DIFFICULTY
TO OBTAIN FUNDS
Boy, Said to Be Son of Wealthy Par
ents in Tacoma, Arrested for
Investigation Admits He
Did Wrong

Although but 15 years old, Fred H.
Brokaw said to be the son of a wealthy
retired grain dealer of Tacoma, Wash,
admitted last night at detective head
quarters that he had been successful
in obtaining nearly 5000 from various
concerns in Los Angeles by represent
ing himself as being destitute, and that
his father was interested in the con-
Germs and would pay whatever money
he raised.
When taken to police headquarters
young Brokaw made a confession, which
will be investigated today by the po-
lice, in which he stated that he left his
fathers home over two weeks ago and
came to Los Angeles. He had some
money with him at the time and regis
tered at the Lankershim hotel, stating
that he was advance agent for the
Eddie Foy opera company.
Despite his years, he is a well de-
veloped youth, and would readily pass
for a person 20 years old, and he spent
money freely and was a general favor
lite at the Hotel Lankershim.
November % he visited the office of
the Globe Grain and Milling company
925 East Third street. and represented
himself to Cashier Martin O. Joyce as
the son of one of the directors of the
main office in San Francisco, and stat
ed he was temporarily out of funds and
would appreciate a loan of $40 to en-
able him to reach San Francisco, as
he wished to pass Thanksgiving with
his folks.
The money was readily given and
young Brokaw stated he intended to
leave for the city the same after
noon.
Yesterday afternoon Cashier Joyce
had occasion to visit the office of w.
X. Walker, grain dealer, 1853 East Sec
ond street, and listened to a conVersa-
tion between young Brokaw and the
cashier similar to the one he had heard
in his own office. He was surprised
that Brolaw had not left Los Angeles,
and after listening to the same story
which had been told to him, he notified
the police department with the result
that Brokaw was arrested last night
by Detectives Hawley and Mckenzie
ST did it," said young Brokaw, "but
I knew that father had money and
would pay for all bills I contracted. I
did not think I had been used we'll at
home and decided to leave. l was
short of money, and as I have always
lived in first classe style, l decided I
must raise money. I knew that fa-
theirs name was good and admit that
I got money from several firms on
the strength of his name. Telegraph
to father and am sure he will make
good the money I obtained wrongfully.
Gee. but those fellows in Los Angeles
were easy and had no trouble raising
money whenever I went. Telegraph
to the old man and I guess he'll fix up
things so that 1 will be freed"
The youth was sent to the Detention
home pending further investigation by
the police, but it is believed the suave
youth is guilty of more crimes, and a
investigation will be made.

The race meet of the Los Angeles
Motorcycle club scheduled for Thanks
giving day ana postponed until Sun
day, December 5, should prove Itself
the greatest event of the local clubs
life. Never before has a national
championship been awarded the Los
Angeles club, and it is safe to say that
1t will be some time before they are
able TO procure another.
The f. A. NJ. smile championship

prizes. the first a gold second silver,
third bronze, all three valued at 500,
will be fought hard for by both trade
riders and private owners. The main
scrap centers between the Merkel
Yellow Dog) camp and the Indian
agency.
Charles Bake, the mainstay of the
Merkel agency clipped off some very
fast miles last Thursday before the
rain started. The official timers stated
that miles were run close TO a minute
and some of them considerably less.
Herbert Kittle, on an Indian, was
also sticking close to the pole and clip
ping off mile after mile at breakneck
speed.
The contest between these two boys
with Frank Loge on an Indian, and
with undoubtedly as many more en-
tries this coming week, will be a race
for blood, as the winner holds the ma
tional championship for one year.
There will be eleven events in all,
ranging from two miles to a half-hour
race. The program starts promptly at

A high wind and heavy sea drove the
Argo out of the narrow channel as

Off TOMORROW
ON AUTO RACE
CARS IN HANDS OF MACHIN-
lists, BEING TUNED UP
Contest with Owners Cars as Wager
for Run to Oxnard and Re-
turn Exciting Great
Interest

Tomorrow is the dav OF the greatest
automobile race that has taken place
in this section of the country for many
and many moon.
That the contestants mean to give
each other the race of his life is evil
denced in the fact that Charles Grider,
the real estate man, has his little Ford
in the shops being tuned up the same
as the big fellows who are on the race
track for blood. Busy mechanics are
overhauling piston rods and cylinders
and transmssions with a vengeance,
and when the car is turned over to its
owner will be "fit as a fiddle" for the
run TO OXnard and return tomorrow
and be the means of having added to
the possessions of its owner another
sister ear, or will be introduced to it's
new owner because it tried and failed
to beat IL.
And II. j. Crawford is not idle by
any means. He knows his adversary
os not an easy mark in anything he
undertakes, and he is getting his little
machine into as fine condition as the
automobile doctors can put It. They,
too, are busy with monkey wrenches
and Stlsons, and are giving the little
car a touch here and there that will
make her ready for the tusse she is to
have to gain for Crawford another adj
dition to his already formidable pos
sessions I'm the line of automobiles.
The betting portion of automobile
Los Angeles has been busy the past
few days working for their favorites in
the race wherein the winner takes the
car of his competitor but as the cars
are of the same size and model 1t is
hard to dope" the winner, and the
general opinion is that the race will lie
in the driving.
Grider Is an expert at the wheel and
in the handling of the car, while Craw-
ford is in the automobile business and
is strictly up TO all the turns and
methods Of pushing through an auto
mobile on schedule time.
There will be "A large number of peo-
pie out with their machines following
the cars, and a number have stated
that they would make the round trip
with the little fellows.
Promptly at tomorrow morning the
first car will be sent away, followed in
ten minutes by the car of the second
owner. They will check i'm at the OK
nard garage and out again on arrival
at the Office of The Herald on their re-
turn, where Jack Keogh, the referee,
will award the prizes, consisting of
cars to the winner.

MAN KILLS HIMSELF
TO ESCAPE ENEMIES
LIVES IN CONSTANT FEAR OF
SECRET SOCIETY
Seeks Death at Own Hands Rather
Than Fall Into Power of Dread
Organization Pursuing
Him
Especial to The Herald

SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. 26.-Tho
police are mystified over the suicide of
Pere Konotovich who shot himself to
death in the Pioneer roOming house
last night.
For months the man, who was a
blacksmith, was haunted with the fear
that his life was sought by some mys-
terious society and believing that his
enemies were closing about him, it is
thought he chose death at his own
hands rather than in combat with
the agents of the society whom he be-
lieYed to be preparing to murder him.
KOnOtovich, Wednesday, suddenly
notified his foreman at the Phillips
rock crusher, north of the city, that
he would have to leave, as his life was
in danger An attempt was made to
dispel his fear, but he was firm in
his belief that some society, similar
to the black hand, sought his life. He
stated that he had sent q money order
to his brother in Montenegro which
had been secured by the man who
impersonated him and that knowing
he had been discovered the impostor,
through his society, was endeaVoring
to put him out of the way to save
being sent to prison.
The sudden arrival of two new men
at the crusher caused Konotovich to
flee in terror. During the night be-
fore he remained awake with the
guard, fearing that an attempt would
be made to kill him under cover Of
darkness.
He stated that he had been forced
to flee from the Declez quarries be-
cause an attempt was made on his
life.
Yesterday he encountered Chief of
Police Shay several times on the
streets and told him of the intercept
ed money order, but did not mention
that he was being sought by assassins.
He secured a room at the lodging house
and after telling a man whom he met
on the street, who spoke the same
language, that he could stay with
him, returned and placing a revolver
to his breast, fired three times. Two
of the bullets penetrated his right side
and while pulling the trigger for the
third shot, he fell back, the bullet tear
ing through his throat, killing him.
The officers are investigating the af-
fair and it is thought Konotovich be-
lieved the man who requested assis-
tance was one of the black hand
agents
