OFFERS HELP
TO AUTOISTS
LOCAL CLUB HAS TEAM ON
ROAD TO AVIATION FIELD
Steep Grade Near Dominguez Proves
Bette Noir of Low Powered
Maehnse Bound for Big
Events

The Automobile club of Southern
California wishes to suggest that all
automobilists attending the aviation
meet have their cars equipped with tire
chains. About a half mile east Of the
camp is a steep grade which thus far
has proved to be the "bete noir" of a
great many machines, as the adobe at
this point is very thick and slippery.
Five teams have been at work with
rollers and scrapers all the week, try
ing to improve the conditions, and
whenever an auto was seen to be In
difficulty a team was sent to pull it
out. This has met with so much sue
cess that while four of the teams will
be discontinued for the remainder of
the meet, yet one team of mules will be
employed by the club to render any
assistance possible. This applies to all
automobilists, whether club members or
not, who are perfectly free to ask the
teamster to help them over the grade
if their car has not the necessary pow
er. The team will be placarded with a
sign showing that it is in the employ
of the club and its services are at the
disposal of automobilists absolutely
free Of charge.

BOSTON PHYSICIANS ASK
FOR TRAFFIC IMMUNITY

Boston physicians have at last taken
the initiative toward getting the priv
ilege of driving their motor cars on diff
ferent streets affected by the new traf-
fic rules and also getting the right of
way when on hurry calls.
A petition signed by more than 300
physicians in active practice has been
received by the Boston street commits
sion, asking that body to amend cer-
tain regulations for the benefit Of the
doctors. They claim that many lives
might be saved by physicians reaching
g person quickly, where now valuable
time is lost because of the rules,
The question of physians getting the
right of way has been brought up in
many cities since the motor car has re-
placed the horse, but there has been
objection to granting doctors any eX-
emption, because it was felt that some
of them would abuse the privilege under
the guise of professional calls.
Much interest will be aroused by this
petition, and its results will be watched
everywhere. The commission will grant
a hearing shortly.

CLAIM SOCIETY LIVES
IN SAVAGE CONDITION
Social Reformer Declares Police Cost
Ten Times More than Health
Department Does

CHICAGO. Jan. 11.-Jacob A. Riis.
the New York social reformer, ad-
dressed the City club yesterday after
noon on the problem of housing the
poor in Chicago, and incidentally re-
marked that when city police force
costs ten times as much as it's health
department that fact was an indication
of the generally savage condition in
which modern society lives.
Several times in the past ten years
in New York, we have decently housed
0,000 people" he said. But We are
as bad off as ever because the tenant,
on account of the high cost of living,
and rent, has to take in dodgers to keep
the roof above his head. New York
is bad, but Chicago is worse"

SIMPLEX COMPANY HAS
NICE LINE FOR SEASON

The Simplex Motor Car company has
been since it's inception a careful de-
Veloper of the two-cycle design of car
and today has a product which has
demonstrated it's reliability during the
past season.
The 1910 model is a little different
from that of the last season. A few
of the leading characteristics OF this
tWo-cycle car are: Two-cycle -four
cylinder motor with cylinders in pairs
and combiner selective gearset and
rear axle. This motor is of the three
port type, the explosive mixture en-
tering the crankcase through a third
port.
In the crankcase it is compressed by
the piston. A particularly high COM
preston is used in these cylinders, it
registering 80 pounds per square inch.
The pistons are provided with de-
fectors, the exact design of which was
determined after considerable expert
menting. The ports, of which there
are four for the inlet and exhausts,
are wide and about l IA inches in
depth.
The motor design is carefully studied
out and there has apparently been no
desire to simply produce a motor with
fewer parts than in some other make
of car. The apparent aim in this motor
has been to produce a power plant of
the utmost reliability. Its design in-
corporateS a transverse shaft at the
forward end, which drives the mag
neto through a bevel gear, the timer
located on the top of the vertical
shaft; the fan through vertical
shaft; the water pump. This shaft is
carried on ball bearings with ball
thrusts, and all gears are inclosed and
their fabrication is well looked after.
The rear axle is carried throughout on
annular ball bearings as is the gearset
which operates selectively and is To-
Gated Immediately in front of the ex-
pansion in the axle housing for the
differential.
The brakes are both internal, operat-
ing against drums of different diame-
ters. The crankshaft used in the motor
is made hollow to reduce weight and
has the throws mounted at 80 degrees
that is, the offsets to cylinders one
and two are at 1870 degrees to each
other, and the offset to cylinders three
and four are in the same relation to
each other The crank throws one and
two are then at 80 degrees to three and
four.
The clutch is Of the multiple-disk
type and the running gear throughout
is a stout construction, with side mem
bers of the frame we'll proportioned to
their work.

DISCUSS WHITE
SLAVE TRAFFIC
BILL AGAINST IMMORAL TRADE
INTRODUCED
REPRESENTATIVES, IN FAVOR OF
STRINGENT MEASURES
Effort to Take Certain Powers from
Speaker Cannon in Connection
with Presidents Message
Meets with Failure
Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-After pass
ing the army appropriation bill, carry
ing sos, 100000 for the maintenance of
the army during the fiscal year of 1911,
the house today took up one of the So
called white slave bills
Opposition developed to that portion
of the measure reported by the immi-
grafton committee which makes it a
felony for any person to assist and to
go from one state to another for the
purpose of engaging in immoral traffic.
1t was contended by Representatives
Bartlett of Georgia, Goebel of Ohio and
Richardson of Alabama that such ac-
tion would be an encroachment upon
states rights, as under the constitu-
ton each state has the sole power to
regulate its own morals.
The other white slave bill, introduced
by Mr.. Mann, enlarges on the inter-
state commerce feature of the pending
measure so as to prevent white slave
traffic between the states. The lmml-
grafton committee seeks to EXCLUDE
from the country all undesirables, es-
pecially immoral women and men who
traffic in them.
The white slave bill still was under
consideration when the house ad-
journed until tomorrow.
An effort to take from Speaker Can
non the power to determine what part
of the recent message of the president
should go to the house committee on
Interstate and foreign commerce and
what part to the judiciary committee
was defeated today
A resolution providing for the refer
ence was reported by Chairman Payne
of the committee on ways and MEANS
and after lying on the table for time
was called up for consideration. A
vigorous protest against the resolution
was made by Mr.. Underwood OF Ala
bama, acting as minority floor leader:
1.-THE day has come when members OF
the house must stand responsible for
legislation in this house." declared the
Alabama member. 1.-THE whole issue
for which we have been fighting for
the last month is involved. IL Is
whether the speaker shall control the
house or the house shall control the
speaker"

Madriz Wants to Resign

CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-A special from
Managua, Nicaragua, says Madrlz Is
satiated with the Nicaraguan presiden-
cy, and he would leave the office as
soon as possible. Madriz will reside in
San Salvador for the remainder of his
life.
Following his selection as successor
to President Zelaya, Madriz sent let
ter to Rear Admiral Kimball in Corinto
containing the peace terms awaiting
the reVolutionists at his hands. Ma
driz' letter offered the assumption of
debts of the revolutionists by the gov
ernment and the guarantee of the ma
tional debt. Rear Admiral kimball
considered the Madriz attitude states

ny ID, w. sENTPLE

One of the most attractive features
of the Madison Square Garden snow
last week was the 1880 h. p. chassis
exhibited by the #. b. Stearns COM
pany of Cleveland.
There is a striking similarity be-
tween the small model of the Stearns
line and the chassis in the salesrooms
of the various importers in New York
city-a similarity that caused much
comment during show week. The main
constructive details, such as bloc con-
struction of the motor. location of the
transmission at the rear axle etc, are
alike, but probably the best point of
comparison is in the design of the solid
steel forged rear axle, carrying the live
driving shafts. This construction is
totally unlike that used on any other
American car, and during the Garden
show was the cause of much comment
1t is doubtful, however, according to
automobile engineers, whether this de-
sign will be adopted on many cars,
owing to it's high cost of manufacture
Contrary to the expectations of many
visitors, not many freak body styles
were shown, although the torpedo"
type came in for a goodly share of at
tention. The ever popular toy tonneau
body was shown by many exhibitors
and its popularity does not appear to
be on the wane. Although not COM
monty known, this body was originated
by the F. B. Stearns company and
shown in New York for the first time
in 1907 Since that time practically
every prominent manufacturer has
brought out a similar model, many Of
them being dubbed pony tonneau,"
"gentlemens sportabout," etc.
c. C. Slaughter, president Of the
Slaughter Motor Car company, has a
full line of the new models and is pre-
pared to make almost immediate deliv-
cry of the new models at any moment.

of holdups and one shooting affair are
wanted at Kansas City on charges of
murder and robbery. They were iden-
titled positively today by S. w. Span

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE TO BE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Chairman
Serene Payne of the house ways and
means committee met a temporary re-
verse in committee today in his effort
to have President Taft's railroad and
antitrust message referred in its en-
tirely to the committee on interstate
and foreign commerce.
Representative Gaines moved the
usual form of referring the resolution
be adopted, which meant that the mes
sage would go to the interstate and
foreign commerce and judiciary COM
mittees, and Mr.. Payne finally accept
ed the amendment. A Democratic mo-
ton referring to the message of the
specifically to various committees ac-
cording to the subjects treated was
lost.
When the resolution reached the

INVITATION ARRIVES LATE

The Herald is in receipt of an invi-

st. George, in New York city. AS this
the dinner was to take place the even

walls in this department that we may
be slightly delayed in arrival at the
much coveted dinner, especially as the
railroads on the western slope are much
out of repair. AS The Herald visit
fully looks at that vacant chair, the
E. r. Thomas Motor company may well

GOVERNMENT WILL

Semi Official Report on Nicaraguan

BLUEFIELDS, Jan. 11.-Dispatches
alleged to be of semi-official character
have been received here declaring that
the recognition of Gen. Estrada as pres
ident of Nicaragua by the American
government was a matter of days. This
report has created enthusiasm, which
however, is tempered by the desire for
confirmation.
1t is stated here that such a recogni-
ton would not affect the forward
movement of Gen. Chamorro, although
it might result in the disorganization
of the forces Of Madriz, leaving Cha

AUTOMOBILE CLUB AIDS
VISITORS TO D0MINGUEZ

The work of the Automobile club of
Southern California In logging the route
TO the aviation grounds is certainly to
be commended. The object of the club
was to make the route so plain that
any person arriving from France or any
other nation on earth might find his
way to the place of the racing airships
without asking q question.
In addition to this, they have placed
scraper teams on the road, following
this with heavy rollers, and are doing
the work entirely at the clubs ex-
pense and in the interest of the visiting
automobilists, work which will COM
mend itself as the best the club has
vet put forward.
