WRITER STARvES
IN Los ANGELES
PaWnS Last Possession, SeaIskin
Coat, for $1.50, and Is Ar
rested on Suspicion

Driven by the pangs of hunger to
pawn the last of her valuable pos
sessions, a sealskin wrap, on which
she obtained S1.5O. Mrs. Isabella Car
lyle Plank, an aged woman who claims
to have once been an authoress of some
repute, was arrested by detectives yes
terday as she was pocketing the
money, and lodged in the city Jail on
suspicion of receiving stolen goods. A
later investigation by the police re-
lieved her of the charge and unfolded
the story of an old woman, friendless
and alone, dying in big city of hun
ger.
Hardships and privations had so
weakened the woman's constitution
that she could scarcely walk unaided.
Shortly after her arrival at the CEN
trail police station she broke down COM
pletely and was later removed to the
receiving hospital, from where she was
taken last night to the county hospital
to be confined in the ward for the in
sane.
In Mrs. Plank's little hall bedroom
at the Hotel Nicaragua personal effects
were found that spoke of better days.
Her worn and tattered satchel, bear
ing a Washington, D. c., trademark,
contained many pawn tickets. A
search of the. shops revealed that for
months the woman had evidently sub
sisted on the barest necessities of life
by pawning the clothing on her back,
piece by piece, untikonly faded black
skirt, a torn shirtwaist and hat re-
manned. For days she has been a ia
miliar figure on the streets, tramping
them in search of work.
She told the police surgeons yester-
day that she was the authoress of sew
eral books, among them "a Womans
Voice." "The Tragedy of Bogota" and
several serial stories in the magazines
of many years ago.

RACING CYCLISTS
CRASH; FIVE HURT
Frank Montgomery May Die as
Result of Accident at Coli
scum Track

Two men were badly injured, one
of them so severely that he probably
will die, and three others were thrown
and bruised as the result of motor
cycle collision on the Coliseum race
track yesterday morning. The riders
were indulging in q practice spin"
around the course in preparation for
the afternoons races,
The men seriously injured are Frank
Montgomery, 329 West Vernon street,
and Shelton Schultz, 1888 Thirty
eighth street. Montgomery is suffer-
ing from internal injuries and pos
sible fracture of the skull. He has
been unconscious since the accident.
He was entered in the races for the
afternoon. Schultz suffered a disloca-
ton of the shoulder and a broken
thigh. Both men are at the Crocker
street hospital. Riders Graves, Verrill
and Kittell suffered slight injuries.
The motorcycles were wrecked.
MACHINES HURLED IN AIR
Montgomery, Graves, Kittell and Ver-
rill who were all entered as contest
ants in the event of the afternoon, rode
out on the track together and opening
the throttles of their cycles sped
around the course for a trial run.
Schultz, who is a comparatively new

race was ahead of them. Accord
ing to the men, as they neared him
the noise of their machines seemed to
unnerVe the new rider and he swerved
directly in Montgomery course. Be
fore the latter could steer out of his
way, the front wheel had collided with
Schultz rear wheel.
Travelling at the tate of nearly sixty
miles an hour, the two motorcyclues

launched to one side OF the course,
carrying all but Kittell, who managed
to steer clear of the wreckage, to the
ground. The cycles penetrated a fence
enclosing the course and Verrill was
forced through it.
The track officials state that the
course was good 1t had been gone
ting it in perfect condition for safety
and speed.
SAYS SCHULTZ LOST NERVE
Amateur Champion Graves, who was
severely bruised and lost his motorcy-
Gle in the collision, said yesterday the
accident was caused by Schultz losing
his nerve as the three men approached
him from behind.
"Our exhausts were open," he ex-
planned, "and we were making lot
of noise and going at high speed, 1
saw Schultz turn his head uneaslly
but never doubted that he would keep
a straight course. When we were
directly in his rear and about to pass
him l saw him suddenly swerve into
Montgomery's course. 1t was too late
to get out of the way and Montgom-
ery's front wheel tapped Schultz rear
wheel. The whole thing happened so
suddenly that the rest of us, save Kit
tell, who was in the rear had no

air and down into a fence at the side
of the track"
Schultz, from his bed in the hos
pital. corroborated Graves story Of
the accident. Montgomery is married.

that if we belong to him we are

Shat if We are not Of the world,
the 'orld would hate u This
old world will rot prosecute YOU.

says that it will receive its own.
Then when We are persecuted
then We know that we are not

that love worke.h No i'll to his

be a fine conundrum. This is IL:
What is the difference between a

The answer, so Senator Murphy
says, Is:
"one is pharmacist, the other is a
farm assistant"
The other night he strolled into a
drug store in his district TO get a
prescription filled, thte chief ingre-
dient of which was borax. He pro-
pounded the conundrum to his drug
friend. After a slight mental strug-
