'DAR|O RESTA HAS
!. QUIT RACING GAME
Great Driver Dissatisfied With
4 Contract and Wife Fears
For His Safety

Dario Resta, American race champion
for two years, probably win not drive
this season. The retirement Of the phe-
Romenally lucky and skillful driver, who
has taught American drivers more about
handling cars than any other European
who has ever come to the United
States, was announced by President
David Reid Of the Chicago Speedway
Park Association, who has been in con
slant communication with the great
driver.
Mr.. Reid received his information
while he was drumming up entries for
the Chicago Derby Of June ..
Two reasons are advanced for Resta q
retirement. It is said that he Is not
satisfied with his contract with Alphonee
Kaufman, owner Of the Peugeot, in
which Dario scored his American tri-
nmphs, and also that his wife, a sister
Of the late Spencer Wishart, fears that
he win meet the same fate as her broth
or who was killed at Elgin in 1915.
He Won $4,000
Although Rcsta has been offered a
position on the Hudson and the Mercer
teams, he probably win not accept
either. He Is said to be seeking a posi-
tion as consulting engineer OF an OPP
Iportunity to invest $40 900, his share
| Of the purses he has won in this country,
! In business less hazardous than driv-
| ing racing cars. The prize money that
| Resta has won in this country in two
! years totaled 100000. OF this sum
1868 900 was contributed by the manage
ment of the Chicago Speedway, where
| he proved to be invincible and took six
races out of as many starts. He finished
first in both Of the auto derbies, de-
feated Burman, Earl Cooper and Old
field in the challenge event, humbled
! De Palma in their italian speed feud
last juno and led the field across the
wire in the 1916 Speedway Grand Prix
and Grand American contests.
In addition to these Chicago victories,
Resta won the Vanderbilt cup in 1915
and 1916, the Grand Prize year before
last, the Astor cup and the Hardness
trophy in 1915 and the 1916 interna'
tiOnal sweepstakes.
VIII Help the Game
Automobile racing loses a wonderful
driver in the retirement of Resta, but
as baseball profted by the downfall Of
the philadelphia Athletics, SO the speed
game Is expected to gain by the loss
of Dario the Great
A common remark that was made by
1.-THE people last year was. "We are tired
OF seeing Resta win.v Hundreds Of
fans did not attend races because they
felt that with Resta.in the field the re.
suit was a foregone conclusion, His
4 victory after victory, especially on the
| Chicago Speedway, had a psychological
effect on the other drivers who looked
\ upon the race as lost before the cars
lwere sent away by the starter.
With Resta spectator and not con
tender there should be more variety q
automobile races this season than there
was last and less of monopoly Of vie
tories and prize money. Among thu
| drivers there should be keener rivalry
aud among the spectators renewed In
4 terest in the sport.

CANNOT ExTENDlTS
SERVICE TO SOUND

Any hopes that Seattle and Tacoma
may have had that the Matson vessels
would be returned TO the triangular
service that included Puget Sound
were dispelled yesterday by L. d. Ten,
ney, yice,president and general man
ager Of Castle & Cooke, and promi-
nent figure in the Matson Navigation
Company. Mr.. Tenney returned on the
liner Maui yesterday from the Coast.
IL is all that the Matson boats can
do at present, he stated, 10 success
fully handle the freight offered at San
Francisco and the removal of any ship
the company has from the direct San
Franeisco-Island route would result in
another freight congestion such as pre-,
vailed last year.
SO far as Mr.. Tenney could learn on
the Coast there is no intention upon
the part of the government, at pres
ent, at least, to take over any vessel
Of the Matson feet for governmental
purposes.

Attempt To Dust Woodward
AS House Clerk Falls Flat
Tie Vote Of Members Defeats Move Directed To Drive
Speaker IIOStein From Helm Of Lower House

said the health committee was ready
to report on the Mol0kai trip and
charged Andrews with being the prime
mover IN this whole disturbance. He
could not blame the clerk for the stand
he had taken.
Next to have his say was Lyman,
The question was, he said, whether the
house ruled or the clerk was supreme.
, He spoke Of czafs and said that when
an employee did not suit him 81 fire
him right of the bat.' Lyman Sec
onded Andrews motion to accept
Woodward 5 resignation.
Kelekolio read the house rules and
showed where the clerk was answerable
in certain particulars to the Speaker.
He held that IL Woodward had been in
doubt at all he was right in taking
counsel.
Laughing Stock Of Public
An this, claimed Andrews, made the
house the laughing stock Of the public.
Where we're they at, he wanted TO
know, If . mere clerk was to make him
self more powerful than the elected Of
the pcOplef
Ahunn thought he was superior TO
the clerk, but did not mention if it
was in intelligence or otherwise.
Marques said that Woodward had
been threatened and, under the circum-
stances, he was right to tender his
resignation. He (Marquez), for one,
would vote to refuse to accept the resig,
nation and Woodward should be al
lowed to 90 on doing his good work.
mot only the Hawaiians of this
house, said Representative Cooke,
"but the haole members should be
proud that they have such an efficient
clerk as Mr.. Woodward. Take il for
granted that he has been found wanting
in such a little matter as this, out Is
this the reason to dispense with his
servicesi let us be fatherly and for
get slight departure such as he may,
have been guilty Of. The rules gave
him reasonable ground for doubt and
sooner than err he was cautious and
looked TO the Speaker for direction.,'
Petrie Stands Firm
Petrie also spoke Of the threats made
against Woodward, where some one was
to introduce resolution to Dust him.
He had done the right thing by tender
ing his resignation, so as to know just
where be stood. He, for one, said Mr..
'Pctrie, was for refusing the resigna-
tion and telling Mr.. Woodward that he
was to go on with his good work.
The vote on the motion to accept
Woodward : resignation was lost on the
following tie vote: Il

doubt THAT SHIPS
ARE TO Be TAKEN
San Francisco Expects That Maui
Alone Is OF Use To
Navy

SAN Francisco, April 7--steam
ship men Of San Francisco had re
eeived no word up to late last night
that any American ships in the passen
ger or freight trade would be taken
over by the government for war pur.
poses. Reports on the street to this ef
feet were denied BY owners and agents
vho said, however, that they would
not be surprised at such action by
federal authorities az any time.
The Great Northern and Northern
Pacific tnrbiners are the two vessels
especially fitted for use as scout cruis.
crs on account Of their speed, which
is greater than that Of any other
ships on this coast. Ofiicefs Of these
two vessels have been sworn into the
naval reserve, as have the officers Of
a number Of other vessels.
Cargo To Philippines
\ John H. Rosseter, sice-president and
general manager Of the Pacific Nail,
said he had received no intimation
from the government that il wanted
any Of the vessels Of the feet. He
pointed out that the three trans
pacific vessels carry a large amount
Of cargo 70 the Philippines.
The fact that the new steamers touch
at both Honolulu and Manila led the
head Of the company to the conclusion
that they would not be requisitioned,
at least at present. The feet in the
Panama trade, he thought, might be
lessencd BY two or three Of the largest
carriers il the necessity arose.
The new Matson liner Maui, with a
cruising radius of nearly $4,000 miles
on ono supply Of fuel and a carrying
capacity Of more than 5000 tons, would
be fine vessel for the government, in
the opinion Of officials Of the Mntson
Navigation Company The vessel is
loading for Hawaii. No intimation has
come from federal authorities that
they need her services just now.
Oceanic Steamship officials were Of
fhe opinion that neither the steamers
Sierra, sonoma nor Ventura would be
requisitioned for some. time. The YES
Sells furnish the only direct communi
catina between the United States and
The little American naval base at Pago
Page, Samoa.
Several weeks ago a careful survey
.of al vessels owned or operated out
Of this port was made BY government
officials, and the capacity and speed Of
an oceans going craft, as well as
launches in the bay, was compiled.

FRANK ROCKEFELLER
DIES IN CLEVELAND
Brother Of the oil Maunates, But
Never Seen With Them In
Recent Years
tA'.ssls'.s rs::. u y ys,..a H'a,.. s.v.'

(Associated Press By United states Navai
/ Radio norvico)
CLEVELAND, April 10 Frank
Rockefeller, brother of John d. and
William A. Rockefeller, the oil mag.
mates, died here last night after pro.
longed illness.
Frank Rockefeller was for many
years associated with his brothers in
the oil business, but was not as widely
known as they. st
Born ~ Richfofd, New York, in ls45,
he was the youngest Of the three Rookie
Teller boys. and when his brothers or
ganizod the Standard Oil Company he
became identified with them, serving
for a time a. one Of the vice.presidents.
He acquired considerable wealth, but
his relations with his brothers became
strained and he severed business con
nections with them. In 1900 he turned
his attention to stock raising, purchas
ling $4,000 acres nt Belvidere, Kansas,
for stock farm, which became recog
nized az 4 model throughout the South
west. Although he closely resembled
his brothers, he was more sturdy and a
little more squarely built than they and
we'll equipped physically for the new
york he had undertaken. Attired like
q farm hand, he was the active boss =
Of his ranch, and when fences were to
be repaired, bitches dug, or other heavy
work 70 be done, he did his part. Some
of the purest bred cattle in the world
we're 70 be found on his Kansas farm,
and from there he also directed large
range interests IN Texas and Arizona.
Frank Rockefeller always manifested
great aversion 10 being referred to al
tJohn ID. Rockefeller's brotheru on
tsthe other Rockefeller.'
~ am Frank Rockefeller, stock
man, he would say, mot Frank
Rockefeller, brother Of John d.,
He studiously avoided newspaper pub
LEFTY.
Although exceedingly fond Of horse
trotting as n sport he confined his in
diligence IN il TO his own track, on
his own place, with his own horses.
Next TO my family, he once re.
marked, 81 love animals more than
anything else Ia the world, and by
simply having fun with them, have
found out good many things, and
learned q good hiahy lessons that ]
could never have learned otherwise,
One of his great desires was to pre-
vent the disappearances Of the buffalo
he presented a great many wild beasts
and birds to the geological gardens in
Cleveland, and some to other cities.
During ave months in the year Mr..
Rockefeller lived Pin Cleveland, as did
ais brother, Johh d., but they were
never seen together.
