POPE LEAVES TODAY
 AND OHIO TOMORROW
GOING TO LOS ANGELES TO START
 IN PHOENIX ROAD RACE.
Remarkable Record of the Ohio, Which Ran to This City From Coast
 Without Having Radiator Watered.

Early this morning w D. Tremaine and Gage. his mechanician. will leave for Los Angeles with Dr. Francis H. Redewill's Pope-Hartford roadster, which has been stripped of all excess i've paraphernalia and fitted with a small seat and extra gasoline tank, in preparation for the Los Angeles -Phoe- nix road race. Ross Hendwood and Dick Graeme will leave tomorrow morning with the Ohio, which was yes terday fitted with new axle and put in shape for the long run back to the coast city.
 Tremaine took charge of the Pope some weeks ago and completely changed the physical appearance of the brute. He has given it several pre- liminary trips about the valley and it runs like a clock. Last Sunday he took 1t down to the Hassayampa, to meet the Ohio and Kisselkar. He says that when he gets to Los Angeles he will have mighty little repairing to do be- fore starting the long race back to Phoenix He doesn't swear that he will win, but when questioned closely he will admit that he doesn't expect to be among the tailenders. Tremaine estimates that he will cover the course in less than twenty hours.
 Henwood ran the Ohio off a bridge five miles west of the city as he was pulling into Phoenix Sunday evening, and the front axle was twisted. As soon as he reached town Henwood tele- graphe to the factory. at Cincinnati, for a new axle and it arrived yester- day morning, having been rushed through by express. He had intended to ship the Ohio back to Los Angeles If the axle did not arrive by Thurs day
 q don't say that we are going to win but the Ohio is a tough little car and if nothing happens she will be among the first to finish" said Henwood. T have also entered in couple of the events at the fair and hope to win those"
 A remarkable fact about the Ohio's preliminary run. from Los Angeles to Phoenix is that no water was poured into the radiator on the trip. The ra- diator was full when it left Los An geles and it did not require filling once along the way In fact it hasn't been filled yet This is the first time that any car has come from Los Angeles without having its radiator watered.
 It is expected that the cars which are entered in the race and have not yet made the preliminary run will be here some time this week. The cars yet to come are the Parry, Velie, Dro and Abbott Detroit. The drivers of the Mercer and Apperson drove last year in the race and do not think 1t neces- sary to go over the route before mak- ing another attempt.
 Harvey Herrick and O. M. Kern, driver and mechanician of the Kissel- kar. which arrived Sunday left last night for Los Angeles by rail The car they drove over is a stock machine which they left here for the use of the Pacific coast Kisselkar agent during fair week The Kisselkar which will be used in the race is still in Los An geles.

SORRENTO, BLACK
HAND SUSPECT,
ORDERED TO JAIL
Detectives Capture Alleged Grim
inal Leader of Band After
Long Chase in Bridgeport.

Giovaniello Sorrenti, said to be the
leader of the band held guilty of out
RACES in this city, ranging from high
way robbery to BLACK Hand" bomb ex-
plosions. was arraigned in the Second
Precinct Court before Acting Judge
Oehring today and held without bail
for the action of the grand jury.
The magistrate declared that if it
were possible he would not take a
chance of holding Sorrenti In 100000
bail, so important did he consider 1t
that the man be brought to trial. Sor-
remit was not represented by counsel.
He was arraigned on seven counts.
which included responsibility for the
explosion of two dynamite bombs and
several robberies. The prisoner was
specifically charged with stealing s70O
from Benjamin Latasseca, of II Gar
side street.
Sergeant Cordano, Of the local de-
tective bureau, and Prosecutors De-
tective De Rogatti brought Sorrenti to
Newark from Bridgeport. where he was
arrested yesterday. The search for the
alleged leader of the Black Hand
band had continued for more than u
year, and during that time seven MEM
bers of the gang were arrested and are
under indictment by the grand jury.
Sergeants Cordano and Tenore, Of the
detective bureau, and Plainclothesmen
Harmon and Goodwin. of the Second
Precinct. have been ~tireless in the work
of running down this desperate band of
criminals. From the first Sorrenti was
supposed to be the main prize Of the
chase, but such was his cleverness that
he managed to elude bis pursuers until
yesterday. He had been living in
Bridgeport under an assumed name,
but he was recognized at last from the
printed description Inc photographs
which We're scattered broadcast from
the local detective bureau and ar
rested.

with the bands of desperate criminals
in Brooklyn and Williamsburg. which
have been the despair of the New York
police.
