EiaIIuclnations Concerning
His Wealth

DR.. Frank r. Cunningham. AZ years
old, a member of the Jonathan club
and a prominent dentist, was arrested
in the club rooms yesterday on
charge of insanity preferred by DIR.
E. H. Wiley, assistant police surgeon.
DR.. Cunningham was booked at the
central police station and then re-
moved to the county hospital, where
he will be held pending his hearing
before the insanity commission.
According to DIR. Wiley the unfortu-
nate man has been acting queerly for
the past ten days. During that time
Cunningham, who recently moved his
offices to the new Story building, has
been spending money lavishly and de-
claring that he was possessed of so
much money that he intended to set
tie several millions of dollars on the
crowned heads of Europe.
Friends of Cunningham became
alarmed at his condition and finally
persuaded DR.. Wiley to obtain a COM
plant. Dr. Wiley examined Cunning
ham at the receiving hospital late yes
terday afternoon. He was convinced
that the dentist is insane and ordered
his removal to the county institution.

MEPHIST0PHELES SHIPPED BY
EXPRESS
SPEED CAR TO GO FOR MOTOR
DRoME HoNoRs
Match Between Two Great Drivers Is
Now Assured-Big Benz May
Arrive Today and Old
field Tomorrow

Ralph De Palmas 190-horse power
Fiat "MephistophelesP will be shipped
from New York by express tomorrow,
and will come to Los Angels on the
limited trains. arriving at least three
days before the opening of the motor
drome meet, April s. News that the
repairs had been completed and that
the big car will be shipped tomorrow
was received by De Palma yesterday IN
a telegram from the Fiat agency in
New York.
The information settles the question
of match for the speed king cham
pionship" between De Palma and Old
field, as Barney's 200-horse power Benz
will arrive morrow or Thursday and
Oldfield himself wi be here tomorrow
night De Palma does not say that
h. will beat Oldheld, as he Is not given
to Boosting, but he asserts that ne
will race for all there is in him and
with every ounce of power that may
be utilized to make speed.
He demonstrated Saturday after
noon while making the motordrome
circu's at a rate of rs miles an hour
that a high-powered car may lose a
tire without causing 1t to skid. Ac-
comIanied by C. L. Stevens he was
driving his 60-horse power stock Fiat
when the left tire blew off. The inner
tube hit Stevens welt on the ear as
IL flew up, but did not injure him. The
surprising fact to De Palma was that
tho car did not skid or deviate from
its cour :.
His stock Fiat and famous Cyclone"
and AL Lixingstone's Corbin are In
regular quarters on the motordrome
field, and Caleb Bragg's 90-horse power
car and others will follow this week.
The "Cyclone" was taken down on
motor II :ck late yesterday afternoon,
and De Palma will give it a trial this
afternoon. He is anxious to get 1t
on the motordrome, as he declares 1t
has not had an opportunity hereto
fore for a letting out to the limit OF
power.
Motordron officials expect to see
Caleb Bragg's Sensational mile of 40
rs seconds go tumbling when the ICY
clone hits the planks.
"If Bragg can make a pace like that
on his first time on the track he will
keep his car belo;,- the 40 second mark
throughout the meet" said f. E. Mos
| kovics Yesterday. IT feel now 1t is
conservative to make the statement
that Los Angeles has the fastest and
safest track in the world"
Despite the ITO inches of rain that
fell at Playa Del Rey the plank trdck
was perfectly dry and perfectly fit
for racing. The grounds outside where
no gravel Lad been distributed We're
so muddy that automobiles We're stuck
in getting to the entrance. The water
from the ground near the subway
overflow 4 into the passageway and
temporarily blocked access to the field.
The fast cars will be on the track
this afternoon and daily hereafter If
rain does not prevent up to the opening
of the meet.

CARNEGIE IN RAGE
CLOSES up PURSE
TO HIS HOME CITY
No More Money for Technical
or Industrial Schools, He
Says, Because of
Incident.

Pittsburg, Pa, May 4.-Pro"oked that
Founders Day exercises at the Carne-
gle Institute, with President Taft az
principal guest. should be sidetracked
in favor of the Pittsburg-Chicago ball
game, Andrew Carnegie has permitted
Pittsburg to feel the weight of his dis
pleasure. On being assured that Found
afternoon had been brought forward
into the morning in order that the
baseball came be not interfered with,
Mr.. Carnegie frankly announced the
closing OF his purse to Pittsburg.
Colonel S. H. Church has returned
from New York, where he went to talk
with MIR. Carnegie over the resumption
school at Pittsburg, and admits that he
was told there would be no more money
given now. Mr.. Carnegie pointed out
that he had already given Pittsburg
$3.50 0 900 and would now lie back for a
while. E. NJ. Bigelow also returned
from a visit made for the purpose Of
having Mr.. Carnegie close a promise
which he had made to give a farm
worth s250,0oo in the Allegheny Valley
for a Boys Industrial School. Mr.. Car
negie told Mr.. Bigelow with some feel
ing that he would not now give the
property. but If Pittsburg wanted to
pay $S6O,0OO for the property she could
ave it.
An amusing feature of the farm site
matter is that until a short time ago
Mr.. Carnegie did not know that he
owned this property. When shown that
he really owned it, that he had bought
it several years ago. he announced that
he would give it to Pittsburg. He has
changed his min recently. The prop
erty for which MIR. Carnegie demands
$500 is assessed against him at
1914, $50. though Mr.. Carnegie paid $252,-
o15.5O for it years ago.
The City Fathers have risen in their
anger IN old Mr.. Carnegie that they
will not be "%bulldozed."
