as ''overhung" and undressing. Mr.

the ends of the frame being curved up
and connecting with the springs and
the axles between.
This suspension lowers the frame
of the car so that the center of graV-
ity or the majority of the weight of
the car is concentrated below the
aXles. Undressing construction really
carries the weight Graded below the
tipping center so that an enormous
force is necessary to tip over a car of
this type 1t not only prevents turn
ing turtle but reduces to a minimum
the chance of skidding. The over
hung frame carries the center of
gravity suspended above the tipping
center; in comparison it might be
called topheavy.
Some have thought that by lower
ing the frame to this degree the road
clearance has been reduced, but such
is not the case. The undressing will
be found by actual mea surement with
as much road clearance as the over
hung. While the underslung frame
Is nearer the ground than the frame
of the overhung it is the lowest point
of clearance and has no projection
below it, such as a fly wheel or other
parts that are prevalent with the
overhung. The clearance of the two

LIVES OF SCORES OF GIRLS
New York, Sept. 26.-Max Blanck,
in. whose Triangle Shirtwaist factory
LAT girls were burned to death on
March 25, 1911, because the doors
were locked on them so they could
not get out, was today convicted in
the court of special sessions of lock-
ing the three exits of his new fac
tory, 70 Fifth avenue, where $50 girls
are employed. o... p.
Justice Russell fined him $40.
In imposing the minimum penalty,
the court offered Blanck the alterna-
tive of five days in the penitentiary.
He smiled, pulled out a "roll'' of
money as thick as his arm, peeled off
a $40 bill and walked out.
The burning to death of the LAT
girls was tragedy that appalled, the
entire country at the time it occurred.
The doors had been locked to keep
the girls from stealing remnants of
cloth or spools of thread. The place
was regular firetrap and when the
girls found they could not get out
some of them choked to death like
rats in trap and others jumped from
the windows and were crushed to
death when they struck the sidewalk.

A CRIMINAL SINCE A CHILD
indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 26.-By
the admission of his aged father, JOS
eph, Ellis, II, sought by the police
as the murderer of Joseph Shalan-
sky, clothing dealer, who was lured
to room in a local hotel last Mon
day, has been a criminal since child.
The boys father states that the
family was forced to move to, escape
disgrace, from Los Angeles to Rich
mond, Va, from which city young
Ellis started and robbed merchants
in Philadelphia, Detroit, Cleveland,
Toledo, Louisville and Indianapolis,
and made unsuccessful attempts to
lure merchants to hotels in dozens of
other cities from coast to coast. Pre-
viously me had become the ward of
the Los Angeles juvenile court on &C
count of petty thefts.
Ellis added wife desertion to his
list of crimes when he married Audra
Baker, 16, in Danville, ILL.,, on July 5,
en- from home she came here and
was here when Ellis killed Shalansky.
She attempted suicide to escape her
disgrace and is in serious condition.
At some time in his career of crime
Ellis met double in Fred Brokaw of
Tacoma, Wash, another young crook
with bad record in the navy. Bro
kaw's career is so closely mixed with
that of Ellis that the police are con-
WINGED they adopted the same meth
DDS of hotel robberies and used their
resemblance, which is striking, for
mutual alibis when in trouble.
Brokaw turned up in Washington,
D. c., as a ward of the juvenile court
and in Pittsburgh, Pa, as hotel rob-
Der, and is now under arrest in San
Francisco for the Pittsburgh crime.
The police have no clue to Ellis
since he left Indianapolis, following

BILLS OF PARTICULARS
ORDERED IN MILK CASES
Local Dealers to Know Exactly Just
What Impurity Is Charged
Against Them.

The bills of particulars demanded in
all OF the cases against local milk deal
ers charged with violating the pure
food law have been compiled by and
printed at the instance of Assistant
United States Attorney John Lewis Smith
and Special Assistant United States At
torney James 4. Cobb. who are pros
ecuting the cases.
In each of the 100 cases to which about
fifty OF the local dealers will plead in
the Police Court next Wednesday Al
torneys Henry +. Davis and Matthew +.
O'Brien filed motions for bills OF partic-
ulars. TO show exactly what impurity -
alleged to be contained in the milk sold
by these dealers. and the amount OF
such impurity. After argument, judge
Pugh granted these motions and the bills
showing exactly what is alleged to have
been contained in the milk will be filed
within a day or two.
Each of the bills alleges that the milk
in question was adulterated in that IL
contained bacteria. including colon bacil-
decomposition" Mr.. Wilson declared
that there is no persecution" Of milk
dealers by the Humane Society or any
other organization. and added that there
was absolutely no connection between
the prosecutions for the sale OF alleged
impure milk and any other prosecutions
brought against milk dealers for other
alleged offenses, such as driving unfit
