LIVINGSTONE SIGNS TO
DRIVE FAST REQ, BIRD
Car with Plenty of Speed Will Be
Turned Over to New Fifty
Mile Champion

A deal was closed yesterday which
will mean the temperance of the REQ
Bird on the local track. Walter Hem
pei purchased this holder of the mid
dleWeight car honors from Leon Shet-
tier and secured AL Livingstone, the
new fifty-mile champion, to drive IT,
The Bird made a mile in 3S seconds on
the straightaway, and when last raced
at Phoenix a year ago made mile IN
56 seconds on a circular track. 1t is
one of the fastest cars which has ever
been raced in America, and with a
daring driver like Livingstone at the
wheel should prove a sensation. The
local boy has always desired to drive
o record breaker like the Bird, and
this will be his chance.
In addition to this champion driver
and champion ear there will be the
most novel program of races at Ascot
park next Saturday and Sunday that
Los Angeles has ever enjoyed Sat
urday the Southern California free for
all championship will be settled. Three
events will be run, five. twenty and
fifty miles, and the first three in each
race will be scored so many points.
Sunday there will be a 100-mile mo-
tor derby, with large cash prize, and
another prize for the man in the lead
at the end of each mile. Ray Har-
roun will drive his fast Marmon, Liv-
ingstone will be back to defend his
honors with a Corbin, and Endecott,
Matson, Free and others will compete.
There are several surprises in store
for the motoring sport lovers which
will be announced this week.

EAsTERNERs DISLIKE DUST

It is amusing to read the office-made
account of the Sunday races which
appeared in a morning paper which
did not have a representative on or
at the track. In the second race,
which was the ten-mle event, it is
stated that "Harroun won, Livingstone
finishing a good second" What rot!
This story was furnished the unso-
phisticated reporter by the park man
agement, in order to make it appear
easy for Harroun. Livingstone broke
a steering knuckle in the third mile of
the race and laid out on the back
stretch, Harroun finishing the event,
the only car ON the track. And Liv-
ingstone held the racing up, placing a
borrowed part for several minutes al
though the event was anXiously await
ed to be pulled off without the Corbin
getting back into the game, because
the "hunch" was on that Livingstone
would soil his followers face with the
CRIME of Ascot, something the eastern
gentlemen dislike very much, dontcher-
know.

LONG HAT PIN
TO BE PARRIED
CHICAGO COUNCIL ARISES IN
PUBLIC'S DEFENSE
Author of Movement Refers to Car
rots, BOOSTERS and Ecentrici-
ties of Dress, While Women
Join in "Boo-Boo" Chorus

CHICAGO, March 7-Women's long
hatpins were declared to be a public
nuisance" and an "anti-hatpin" or
dinance was ordered drawn up by the
judiciary committee of the city council
today.
The action followed a weeks crusade
against the long hatpin, which cul-
minated today in public hearing.
The ordinance will stipulate that hat
pins worn in public places "shall not
extend more than one-half inch be-
yond the crown of the hat"
1t is to be drawn up by the corpor-
alton counsel and approved next Mon
day night by the council.
Nine aldermen, three lawyers and a
score of protesting women were pres
ent at the hearing.
1--WE want to protest, right here
against this attempt to regulate wo-
mems attire" declared Attorney Fran
els Hinckley, representing the women.
ut does not~become the city of Chi
cago to try TO dictate what its women
shall wear"
That's right" said Miss Nan e.
Davis, interrupting her counsel. '"These
hatpins are women's only means of de-
fense. You must not dictate to us
women"
"Well, you women want 10 regulate
what we men drink don't you?" in
terposed Alderman Carmack.
Amid a chorus of "boo boos" from
female voices Alderman j. Bauler, who
started the agitation in the council,
stepped forward and described what
he called the truth about the whole
hatpin situation"
~ do not believe that there was ever
a time in history when woman have
shown so much eccentricity in their
personal adornment as at present" he
said. I'VE have had the tight skirt,
the sheath gown, the Marcel wave,
and now comes the yard-wide hat with
it's remarkable accessories.
'In addition to ribbons, laces, wire
flowers, vegetables, animals and birds,
woman's headgear is armed with the
deadly snickersnee. If women care to
heads, that is their own concern, and
it cannot be interfered with by the
city, but when it comes to wearing
swords, they must be stopped.
zone man told me he was almost de-
capitated in the city hall elevator by
the sweep Of hatpin like a scimitar,
worn by one of the city hall bellies.
In the street cars people are in dan
ger of losing their eyes by sitting be-
side some lovely devotee of fashion.
The hatpin may be the only weapon
woman has to ward off attack, but let
her wear it sheathed in her belt.
Hidden in a mass of plumage or hair,
it comes under the designation of con-
cealed weapons"
There were "boos" from the women.
and the committee sent its Instructions
to the corporation counsel.

CAPITOL GRAFT
CASE RENEWED
CONTRACTORS MADE DEFEND
ANTS IN PENNSYLVANIA
New Move Entirely Separate from
Criminal Actions and Is De-
signed to Recompense
the State
Associated Pressl

HARRISBURG, Pa, March 7.-Ac-
tions in equity for the recovery by the
state of at least $5O0O,O0O alleged to
have been illegally paid to contractors
for the furnishing of the new state
capitol were entered in the Dauphin
county court today by the attorney
generals department.
The actions are against the contrac-
tors. John H. Sanderson (deeeased)
and the Pennsylvania Construction
company, the state officials having to
do with the awards of the contracts
and the approval of bills in payment
of Architect Joseph Huston and the
sureties of the contractors and state
officials.
The suits are the outgrowth of the
capitol investigation conducted in 1907,
and are entirely separate from the
criminal actions brought two years
ago.
The commonwealth charges that
Sanderson, the principal contractor,
received over $5,000000 for furniture
which was not worth more than
million and a half and that the Penn
sylvania Construction company re-
ceived over $2,00O,000 for metallic filing
cases, wardrobes, etc, which were not
worth more than $750,000.
The commonwealth, admitting that
it has in it's possession furniture and
equipment, including the metallic fur
niture of the real value of a little
over $2,O00000, seeks to recover the
difference between this amount and
the amount paid out of the treasury
to Sanderson and the Pennsylvania
Construction company.
Among the respondents named in the
bill are H. Burd Cassell, president of
the Pennsylvania Construction COM
pany, and his associates, Il. L. Rein
hold and F. B. Reinhold, their COM
pany receiving the contract for the
metallic furniture; Frank G. Harris,
state treasurer from May, 1902, until
May, 1904; the executor of the estate
of William L. Mathues, who died after
his conviction, and who was state
treasurer from May, 1904. to May, 1906;
e. b. Hardenburgh, auditor general
from May, 1904, to May, 1907; t. Larry
Eyre, superintendent of public build
ings and grounds from January, 1899,
to January. 1908; James M. Shumaker,
superintendent of public grounds and
buildings from January, 1903, to jan
uary, 1907; Joseph M. Huston, archi-
tect for the capitol buildings, and also
for the furnishing thereof and the ex-
ecutors of the estate of John H. San
derSon.

nection with the furnishing of the state

PRAISE LIVINGSTONE FOR
VICTORIES AT ASCOT PARK

In automobile circles of Los Angeles
yesterday the general topic of conver-
sation was the remarkable run of Liv-
ingstone in Sundays race, following
that of the twenty -five-mile victory
Saturday Even among the local drlV~
ers, where supposed rivalry would eX-
ist the most generous praise was given
to the clever one-eyed lad who showed
the world that nerve and judgment are
hard to beat.
Telegrams and congratulatory words
Of the kindliest nature came from all
sources to the new worlds champion,
wishing him other and more complete
victories for the future.
Among those who were most sincere
in their congratulations was Joe Nix
rent of the famous local Buick team.
Joe said: "Al Livingstone certainly
made a wonderful drive Saturday and
Sunday, and especially on the latter
day. and l believe there are none who
can take his honors away from him
locally. 1t is true that if Nick had
been permitted to take his little White
Streak out on the track for the event
we would have been able to give the
Corbin a right hot race for the prize.
but we were helpless, but when we
could not go ourselves, we are more
than pleased that Livingstone trimmed
the eastern car Such was the gem
eral bent of all those who were dis
cussing the great driving of the local
lad.
Like a man, Frank Howard, man
ager of the Buick agency in this city,
yesterday turned over to Livingstone
the handsome silver cup known as the
Brock & Feagan's trophy, one of the
most elegant and massively carved
pieces ever seen in this city, and the
cup is now on exhibition in the win
dows of the w. d. Newerf Rubber
company, 949-951 South Main street,
where it will remain until the plucky
Corbin driver places it safely among
his personal effects, the souvenir of a
nervily won battle of the best race
ever seen on Ascot park. 1t is his per-
petually now.

DEATH OF W. ]. WOODS
RESULT OF APOPLEXY

The autopsy performed by DIR.
George w. Campbell last night over
the body of w. j. Woods, who was
found dead in his room in the Orchard
inn, 1892 East Second street, showed
that death was the result of a stroke
of apoplexy.
According to the statement made at
the undertaking establishment of
Booth & Boylson, where the body was
taken, Wood had been dead at least
three days before the body was found.
But little is known of the dead man,
the books at the hotel showing he
registered December 13, 1909. He was
evidently a workingman and of a
quiet, retiring disposition. No papers
were found in his clothing to show
where he came from or what work
he had been engaged in. He was ap-
parently 55 years old. The body will
be kept for several days to see if any
relatives can be located.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-03-08

and Sunday There is to be a race OF
100 miles. Each car that passes first
over the starting line at the beginning
of every mile is credited with 81. For
example: There are three cars in the
race. Car No. 1 takes the lead and
retains it for nineteen miles and is cred
tied with S19. The next mile and sue
ceeding nine miles are made by car
No. 2 and crossing the tape first for
the ten miles, and it is credited with
$40. Then car No. 3 jumps into the
lead and finishes the race with seven
ty-nine miles to its credit. The driver
would receive $79, car No. S19 and
car No. 2 SO, making the total 500.

PATERSON CARS ARRIVE

c. J. Yeager, local agent for the
Paterson $780," received a carload of
this wonder of machine yesterday
and is correspondingly happy. The
Paterson is a remarkable car for the
price in speed and construction, and
Yeager smiles a meaning smile up his
sleeve when speed is mentioned.
Probably later developments will dis
close the meaning of the smile.

PENNsYLVANIA's HARD LUCK

Many regrets were expressed that
the motor trouble experienced by
Morris O'Donnell, the manly pilot of
the Pennsylvania, held him with
wrinkled brows most of the time at
the pits. The Pennsylvania has the
stuff in it if it only has a chance to
show itself, which unfortunately failed
Sunday. Before the race Livingstone
remarked to The Herald man: The
only car that can beat me on the
track today is the Pennsylvania, if it is
in trim. Lucky AL!

REFUSE LIQUOR LICENSE
FoRsNAJEsTIc THEATER
Police Commission Decides No More
Permits on Broadway VIII
Be Granted

No more liquor permits will be issued
on Broadway by the present police
commission, whatever the decision Of
the city council.
The public welfare committee of the
council is considering new liquor
ordinance in which appears a prohi-
bition against any more liquor permits
of any kind on Broadway, but even If
the council should not adopt this ordi-
nance the commission will observe this
provision.
1t was put in practice last night,
when the application of oliver Morosco
for a saloon license at SAT South Broad
way was denied. The location for
which Mr.. Morosco asked the permit
adjoins the Majestic theater and was
conducted by S. A. Lowenstein. Low
ensteins permit was revoked by the
commmision several weeks ago be-
cause it was held in the name of Z. r.
Roberts, credit man for the Maler
Brewing company. Since then the Ma
jestic bar has been closed.
