"Leo N. Tolstoy,
"Sir: Having written a book on the
question of 'Crime ami Criminals,' we
found that our Investigations forced
us to the conclusion that violence and
brutality can begot only violence and
brutality and that to attempt to sup
press crime by such mot hods is but to
make bad infinitely worse.
"Asking ourselves who was mont
closely Identified with this conclusion
we were unanimously of the opinion
that you had inculcated, above all j
others, year after year and decade af
ter decade, the principles which ex
amination of the facts iii the case had
driven us to adopt.
'it is with the profoundest respect,
therefore, that wo have ventured to
dedicate/to you the accompanying vol
ume, entitled, •Crime and Criminals.'
"We trust you will accept with it
the assurance of our most affectionate
regard extended across the seas to one
whom we cognize as a. master worker
in a cause that knows ii" limitations
of race or territorial boundaries,

main.

Amateur aviators, emboldened by

from attempting any turns.

took his seat underneath the wings
of the machine, with the engine sput- I
tering blue smoke and lire above him.
"With a loud buzzing the machine |
whirled around and started directly for
the judges' stand, where most of th"

The machines "as trundled back to;

made. This time the engine seemed .
to act a little better, and with a steady 1

ACCIDENT CHECKS
RUN OF FLANDERS
Car Goes Into Ditch, but Honor
for Non-Stop Drive
Arc Won
The little Flanders "20" that liaV
traveled over the streets of Lou An-,
geles and roads of the county so con-.;
slstontly ami consecutively day and;
night for twenty-eight days, during,
which time it has annexed every non
stop record In turn, finally outstrip
ping the world's non-stop record of
10,074, and has been cheered by thou
sands lor its wonderful performance^
ill last met with an accident and is out
of ill" running. However, it lias es
tablished a new world's record of
10.872 V& mIIPH, which will doubtless
stand fo: ii lon« time to .come, and
niiiy never be beaten by a car of it •■
size.
At 5:35 p. in. Friday Ilia Flanders
"20" met with its llr.st and only mis
hap. At the Intersection of Grand ave
nue, and Jefferson street, whore the
si reel car tracks are torn up and them
are excavations for a now roadbed on
either side, the cur ran Into a hole.
Before it could bo righted the engine
had been "killed,," and the famous run
was over. Driver LaCass was pulling
Into the curb to put on bis lights when
the accident happened, but It had be
come too dark to ccc tha deep 'trench
in time to avoid -It.
The car was in no wav injured, and
last night was on display In the Lord
Motor Car company's booth at. the
auto show, where ii wap examined by
thousands. Every part of the car's
mechanism was found intact, and none
of the accessories showed the effect ■
of the lone: and hard work they had
just accomplished. The iSplitdorf "mag
neto, the Morgan & Wright tires, the
Stewart speedometer and the Perkins,
wind shield were in perfect condition,
without a. screw or nut loose anywrrereJ
The Flanders "20" will be put to -,« - 1/
tual demonstration work today.. The
car is running much better than when
it started out on its world-breaking .
trip. . .
