SHEBLER CARBURETER
AGENT ENTERTAINS MANY
Local Automobile Enthusiasts Gather
at LeVy's at Invitation of
Newcomer in Local Field

Thirty-siX motor car enthusiasts OF
Los Angeles gathered at Levy's last
night at the invitation of Mcdonald
Purcell, agent for the Shebler carbure-
tor, and the newcomer imediately es-
tablished himself in the local field as
a pleasant entertainer and a royal
host The only faces missing from the
board were those of Jimmy Ryall, who
is sick; Harris Hanshue, detained be-
cause of sickness in the family, and
NJ. O'Donnell, unaccounted for.
1t was a royal introduction to the
men who make motor car history, and
the men who write of the dOings.
Every number on the program of after
dinner speeches was winner, and the
man who owns or drives a motor car
will or does know that there is a real
carburetor man in town; and if he is
having any trouble all he has to do is
to drive his car-or have it hauled
down to Dreamland, and have it prop
erly fixed.
The Shebler people have sent a live
wire down to the center of motordom,
and the glad hand is out Just to
count up the faithful look over the list
of guests present: f. B. MOskivics,

AFTER 3 CHILDREN DIE

SAVES LIVES OF OTHERS
Court in Colorado Holds Parents Were
Guilty of Neglect for Refusing
the Services of OId-SchooI
Medical Practitioners

LA JUNTA, Colo, March 21.-Judge
e. w. Mcdaniel of the ptero county
court rendered his decision today In
the Messenger case, which attracted
national attention because it involved
the right OF parents to reject medical
treatment for their children.
Judge Mcdaniel held that Mr.. and
Mrs. b. ID. Messenger had been guilty
of neglect. in failing to call in a
physician to o-attend three children after
three other children of the family had
died.
In the actual trial Of the case Chris
tian Science was not mentioned, but
it is known that the followers of Mrs.
Eddy consider it of vital Importance
to their cult.
Gray Montgomery, an official of the
Christian Science church, tonight gave
out a statement saying:
"B. D. Messenger is not a Christian
Scientist, but he and Mrs. Messenger,
after losing three children under the
care of a physician, finally, in their
extremity, when the three remaining
children were stricken, turned wholly
to Christian Science treatment.
1.-TWO children, Martha and Mabel, and
the parents were healed by Christian
Science treatment. The remaining
Science treatment when action was
brought against the parents, charging
them with neglecting their children,
whereby. under the juvenile law of
Colorado, the children became de-
pendent"
The court pronounced the three chill
dren dependent and decreed that pend
ing an appeal to the higher court they
should remain at their home and un-
der the care of their parents, subject
to the jurisdiction and direction of this
court"
The language of the decision in
dicates that an appeal is considered
certain. as it Is understood that the
followers of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy
will carry the case, if necessary, to the
highest court in the land to have a
final decision regarding the legal
status of healing practiced' by that
organization.
Judge McDaniels decision reviews
legal lore relating to the proper treat
ment of children and proper medical
attention, holding that parent or
guardian having in custody a child
that is seriously i'll is 'in duty bound
to procure for II the attention OF those
whose scientific knowledge of disease
fits them to treat 1t and that his fail
ure to do so constitutes neglect"

President Taft Says Fear of "Execu.
tive Usurpation" Exists Only
In Fervid Senator's
Brain
Associated Pressl

PROVIDENCE, r. l., March 21.-
With Senator Aldrich seated at his left
hand, President Taft tonight earnestly
defended the Payne Aldrich tariff bill
in his address at the annual dinner of
the New England Manufacturing
jewelers. and Silversmiths' association.
The president also expressed the hope
that it would not be necessary to apply
the maximum tariff rates against Can
ada, thus bearing out the reports of
yesterday that the negotiations with
the dominion government had taken
a more favorable turn.
President Taft declared he had at
tempted to carry out the Roosevelt
policies, and asserted also that he was
attempting, so far as he could, to carry
out the pledges of the party platform.
He referred to the postal savings bank
bill, the. interstate commerce amend
ments, the conservation, the statehood
and anti-injunction bills.
The president declared that be-
cause he attempted to convey his
views to congress sin some detail" "
there had arisen talk of executive
usurpation.
1.-THE danger of executive usurpation
in this country" he added, "is rather
the subject of the fervid imagination
of the political orator than something
on NIllCll W DctSt rear VI lHt
of our institutions"
Referring to the passage of the cor
poration tax law as one of the things
that could be cited as bold politics" ="
President Taft said he had always
favored such tax, but created a roar
of laughter when he added, Certain
elements in this community, Senators
Aldrich and Wetmore, were not just
enamored of it,
The president closed with a discus
sion of the Interstate commerce bill
and the anti injunction act, conserva-
tion and other measures which he had
recommended to congress.
When he had concluded his speech
the president was presented with a
magnificent gold casket as a souvenir
of his visit.
Senator Aldrich followed the presi-
dent. He spoke only for few minutes,
but his utterance was notable, as he
pledged loyal and earnest support to
President Taft at all times.
The president left late tonight for
New York.

HANSHUE TO RACE
ON PIE PAN TRACK
Local Driver Definitely Announces the
Entry of Apperson Jackrabbit
and Expects to Do
Well

The Apperson Jackrabbit, with Har-
ris Hanshue driving, was announced
as a definite entry in a large number
of events at the Motordrome inaugural
meet, following Leon r. Shelters de-
termination to maintain a place in the
western racing game. Both Shelter
and Hanshue look for great speed at
the board track meet, and say the
Apperson will win it's share of the
honors.
II sincerely believe the Appehson the
fastest stock car in the world" said
Shelter yesterday, land the Motor
drome is an excellent place to try con-
clusions. Harris Hanshue and the
Jackrabbit will give an excellent ac-
count of themselves and do their best
for the honor of the Pacific coast in
the same old way"
AS soon as the Motordrome is thrown
open to drivers for tests Hanshue will
have the Jackrabbit on tile "pie pan"
to study the necessities OF steering on
a circular plank track. He proposes
to take hold of the new idea in auto
mobile racing with the same thorough
ness which characterized the winning
of the Santa Monica road race last
year, and before the first race at the
Motordrome April Shelter and Han
shue assert they will be as expert on
the intricacies of autodroming as f.
E. Moskovics and Jack Prince.
The manager of automobile contests
at the Motordrome is closing a number
of other important local entries The
contractor at the pie pan" has hur-
ried the subway and other finishing
work SO that the gap in the track will
be closed several days ahead of the
time expected in order to allow the
drivers to put their cars through prac-
tice spurts. AT the formal opening
Wednesday afternoon the drivers will
be invited to test out the merits of the
track as it stands fully completed and
ample opportunity for experience in
handling a car will be afforded at the

DARING SALESMAN
PERFORMS IN HUP
TAKES SMALL CAR UP HILL
AT FULL SPEED
Driver Dodges Between Wall and TEL
egraph Pole in an Exhibition
of the Worth of the
Machine

What is probably one Of the most
sensational demonstration stunts ac-
| complished by any automobile sales
man in this city was performed by
| Clarence De Blinn, demonstrator for
the Tri-State company, who drove a
| little Hupmoble up the steep grade on
second street between Hope and
/ Flower street on the high gear and
| lodged between a telegraph pole and
stone wall at full speed, with scarce
| six inches to spare on each side of the
machine. To add to the difficulty of
this piece Of driving, the ground over
| which the machine passed was ex-
tremely rough, as is proved by the fact
that the forward wheels of the Hup-
mobile were clear off the ground as it
bounded between the pole and the
stone wall.
The Hupmobile, since its advent in
the southwest has proved one Of the
most popular types of small cars, and
M. G. Mason, general manager of the
Tri-State Automobile company, reports
a steadily increasing demand for these
little giants One Of the most attrac-
tive features of the Hupmobie is it's
simplicity, the ease with which it may
be handled, combined with the power
furnished by the unusually large motor
for such a small and handy machine,
making the car readily responsive to
all demands on its energy.
The Hupmobile probably will be seen
in competition soon with other cars OF
the same power, If road or track con-
tests can be arranged. and Mr.. Mason
expresses confidence that the powerful
little car will give a good account of
itself Mason will insist, however, that
such cars as may try conclusions with
the Hupmobile be strictly stock cars,
taken from the salesroom and entered
in competition without any special
preparation other than the necessary
tuning up" of the motor, and the re-
moval of such equipment as may not be
required in a race.

RAILROAD BILL
IS UNPOPULAR
.ELKINS SAYS SHIPPERS DO
NOT LIKE MEASURE
Admits Proposed Amendments Were
Not Considered at Length by
Committee, as Fight on
Floor Is Expected
Associated Pressl


WASHINGTON, March 21.-Speaking
in support of the administration rail-
road bill, Senator Elkins. chairman of
the interstate commerce committee, de-
clared today that the shippers are
finding fault with the bill, and that,
except in one or two instances, the rail-
roads did not appear before the COM
mittee to oppose 1t.
Preliminary to his explanation of the
provisions of the bill, Senator Elkins
admitted the truth of the charge that
amendments proposed were not con-
sidered at length in the committee, and
he defended this course on the ground
that the differences over amendments
were so great that they would have to
be fought out on the floor, anyway.
Answering statements by Senator
Cummins, Mr.. Elkins said it was given
out the railroad bill was before the
committee for consideration. He said
the shippers and traffic associations
had consulted with the president and
attorney general, who drafted the bill,
and they favored the presidents recon-
mendationS.
On the subject of whether the rail-
roads themselves are for or against
the bill, Mr.. Elkins said:
According to common report six or
seven presidents of the most important
railroads waited on the president at
the White House and endeaVored to
changes, but he refused to do so. So
far as l know and can hear, the rail-
roads oppose the bill"
In the course of a colloquy Mr.. Cum
Minis admitted the attorney general
had made change in the through rate
at Mr.. Cummins' suggestion, and he
added; 1T is a wise provision"
Il admit it, responded Mr. Elkins.
Yes" said Mr.. Cummins "if you
would take all of my suggestions it
would be better
IF we should take all of your sug-
gestions." retorted Mr.. EllIins. 81 don't
know what would become of the coun-
try. We certainly would not run the
railroads"
Charges "Joker" in Bill
At the conclusion of Mr.. Elkins'
speech Senator Bacon of Georgia
charged the West Virginia senator
with having neglected to give atten-
tion to the provision of the bill author
izing any railroad company to acquire
the line of another company in which
it may own 81 per cent of the stock
He said that the law would have the
effect of multiplying the Sherman law
as construed by the supreme court,
anu 70 ieSdllZe ali existing OWnerSh1pS
of one road by a competing line. This,
he asserted, was the real purpose of
the measure, and, he added, it was in
order to get this concession.
Mr.. Elkins would not concede the
soundness of Mr. Bacon's argument.
He did not believe the law contem-
plated the sanction of any proceeding
that might be illegal under any exist
ing law.
Either this bill does what the SEN
ator from Georgia charges" said Mr..
Bailey, commenting on the colloouy.
'or it does nothing at ALL"
1t was true, he said, there was moth
ing in the bill explicitly legalizing the
purchase of the first 80 per cent of the
stock, but he argued to make lawful
the second purchase would have in
evitably the effect of validating the
first step.
