DE ROSIER SAYS
HE IS WRONGED
MOTORCYCLE CHAMPION DIS
CUSSES SUSPENSION
KNOWS OF NO REASON FOR
TREATMENT
Promises to Shed Further Light on
Matter, But Asks That Judg.
merit of Friends Be
Withheld
Common report during the past week
stated that Jal«e Dc Hosier, the world's
champion motorcycle rider, had been
suspended. One report made the sus
pension three months, another that I
the punishment was for a year. It Is
understood that such an action was
contemplated some time ago, and it
will be recalled that the suggestion
"Was made in this paper that it would
be an unwise move.
Whether this conclusion was justified
in the interest of good sports will de
velop later, but yesterday De Rosier :
in a communication to The . Herald
gives his signed statement concerning
the matter, which is submitted to the
public, which has been interested so
largely in the events at the Coliseum.
Following is De Hosier's statement:
"Automobile Editor Los Angeles
Herald: 1 have been suspended by
the chairman of the national racing;
board 01 the Federation of American
Motorcyclists without having- had any
reason assigned for the suspension. I
was not suspended for the reasons
published In a Sunday morning paper,
and it is evident that paper has been
made the victim of a false statement
on the part of some one connected
with the management of the Coliseum
motorcycle track.
•'The statement referred to sets forth
that I had been suspended because I
had demanded $150 wrongfully from
the Coliseum management prior to the
last race in which I appeared on that
track, in which I won the 100-mile
race two weeks ago. This is absolute
ly and positively not true. A protest
was made by the local management
against my action in demanding this
money in advance, which I had a per
fect right to do, but this protest has
not resulted in my suspension, or at
least this is not the reason given for
my three months' suspension by Chair
man Thornley of the national racing
board.
"The real reason for my suspension,
however, I have not been told. I do
know that a telegram, and, in fact,
two have been received in this city
the past week, one by Walter Hempel
of Ascot park and the other by Ref
eree Kettles from Chairman Thornley,
in which it is stated I have been sus
pended for a race at Ascot park and
not at the Coliseum.
"These races were held about five
i weeks ' ago. I was entered against
Paul Derkum in two races—a ten-mile
and a five-mile event. I won the first
race, and a protest was immediately
lodged against me on the ground I had
used my brakes during the race. I
was leading in the second race when
my wheel skidded and I was thrown
and badly shaken up. Derkum also
fell, but if he protested the race 1 was
never Informed of it. If such a protest
was filed, the only grounds for pro
test . could have been that I fell—and
no reasonable or right thinking per
son will believe I fell just in order to
make Derkum fall, too, or, in other
words, risk my life in order to injure
■ a competitor.
No Opportunity to Defend
"The messages received the past
week from Chairman Thornley state
that I have been suspended on account
of that second race. Why, 1 do not
know, but I mean to find out, as it is
apparent that some one is doing some
underhand work by filing charges
against me and judgment being
passed on me without my being given
a. fair or honorable opportunity to de
fend myself. The statement which
was worked off in the paper yesterday
morning, and of which the paper was
made an innocent victim, to the effect
I had bean suspended because of my
having demanded my money in ad
vance of the 100-mile race, shows on
the face of it that falsehoods are being
made against me by my enemies, and
that they will not stop at anything to
injure me.
"The reason why I demanded my
money was because I had no written
contract with the Coliseum manage
ment covering the 100-mile race, and
if I had waited until after the race
I had a good chance of not getting
the full $150 which had been previous
ly agreed upon as the amount I should
receive. in the absence of such a
contract I considered it best to demand
the cash in advance to avoid any fu
ture controversy, which I had a per
fect right to do. The Coliseum man
agement has never been free from
debt and owes money now, and I do
not believe that the riders who make
up the drawing cards for their races
should be asked to take any chances
on getting their money. At least, I
did not Intend to take those chances,
and the management is evidently mov
ing heaven and earth to get me 'in
bad' both with the public and with
the newspapers and the national racing
board to punish me.
Proved Leading Card
. "I have always been at the tape to
ride and have always ridden my very
best. If the management had not
had me as one of Its leading cards—
and I believe the public will agree that
I have been the leading card at the
Coliseum track ever since it opened—
then the management never would
have been able to get a crowd out of
which to pay for their track. So long
as I have no financial interest in the
success of the track and only have my
earning power to depend on, I believe
I have a right to protect myself in
the way I did.
. "I do not believe the national racing
board will allow the riders to suffer at
the behest of the Coliseum manage
ment when they realize all the condi
• tions out here, and I certainly intend
to make it my business, now that the
fight has been started against me, to
let them know all the facts. When I
say all the facts, I mean all of them,
broken promises and all, and I will be
very much surprised if the Coliseum
management does not lose its racing
franchise for Illegal conduct in pro
moting race meets in violation of many
of the federation rules.
"Meanwhile I ask my friends to
withhold their judgment and their
verdict.
.s '•[ am" leaving for a health .trip to
recover from the slinking- up I got In
I:he Ascot park accident, but will re-
I urn to 1.,0s Angeles later. I believe I
lava many friends in this city who
■ .vill help to see that justice is finally
'lone me, and prevent a little coterie
if schemers who have not been able
, :o twist me around their thumb from
loin? me an outright injury. I appre
ciate t the confidence that my friends
lave shown in me, and I shall always
* endeavor to justify them In showing
■ up this same «■-•'"iTcnoo In ' the fu

mobiles
When the automobile made its ap
pearance upon the highways of the
country every law-making body recog
nized in it a menace to life and prop
erty and forthwith proceeded to enact
stringent laws for its regulation and
use. Not only did the state legislatures
have their automobile acts, but every
township and borough had its pet or
dinance or rule for the regulation and
use cf the motor car, together with
severe penalties for the unhappy mo
torist who either carelessly or inno
cently violated the same. These aug
ust bodies of lawmakers did not take
in consideration the safety and ease
with which a car could be operated.
rJttle credence was given to argument
that a motor ear driven at the rate of
twenty miles an hour could be per
fectly controlled and stopped within a
few feet; or that it was more easily
handled than a horse and carriage.
The solons only knew that it wag a
menacenot because they had advised
themselves, but because their constit
uent:; who did not own a motor car
hated it and desired to see it legislated
off the roads.
The result was that throughout the
United States a lot of acts, ordinances
and rules were written upon the law
books which were not only inconsistent
with each other, but were based neith
er upon reason nor logic, but upon
hostility.
New Jersey, with her inviting roads
and magnificent boulevards, has an In
adequate law. Yet the enforcement of
that law by the commissioner of mo
tor vehicles mid his inspectors has
been so liberal, logical and reasonable
that only those who have Justly de
served it have felt the sting of Jersey
justice. Nor could any user of the au
tomobile ask any fairer treatment than
he receives of the authorities in Phila
delphia. And even in some of the rural
parts of Pennsylvania, where the letter
of the law has been enforced most
strictly, the officials are now giving the
motorist fair play. .
• Ask these officials why they are ro
liberal with the motorists, and they will
all say because the laws are too harsh.

that it is inconsistent to require lamps

That it is inconsistent to allow a man

OWNER OF BENZ MACHINE
CHALLENGES FIAT RACER
Jesse Proehlich, managing director of
the Bronx Auto Import Company of
America, lias issued a challenge to E.
W. C. Arnold to race at Ormond
Beach, Florida, for a purse of $10,000,
the contest to be three heats of five
miles each. Mr. Arnold is the owner of
the Fiat which has been the only car
in America to defeat Mr. Froehlich's
Beni, better known as '"Hennery's
Bens," last autumn at the Grand prize
race at Savannah. Mr. Froehllch re
cently brought to America a new
eighty-nine horse power Benz racing
car, built for tremendous speed. Da
vid 1... Bruce-Brown lust year at Or
mond Beach made three consecutive
miles at three different trials in less
than 31 seconds each, and ten miles
in 5 minutes 14 2-5 seconds, or at the
speed of more than 117 miles per hour,
while George Robertson at the same
time drove the Benz five miles in 2
minutes 45 2-5 seconds. .
Some who have seen this car driven
at Brooklands, England, believe it will
show marvelous speed on the wonder
ful Ormond-Daytona Beach course.
Th ■ Fiat car owned by Mr. Arnold
made its fastest time at Brooklands,
England, traveling at the rate of 121
miles per hour, while the Benz car on
the same course attained a speed of
p 127.8 miles per hour. • ■ .
if this challenge is accepted by Mr,
Arnold and all detailed arrangements
can successfully bo made, the public
will see the greatest ra.^ known in the
history of automobiling. -
LONGER STROKE
IMPROVES MOTOR
E.R.THOMAS DISCUSSES NEW
AUTO DESIGNS
CLAIMS AMERICAN CARS ARE
BETTER THAN FOREIGN
Manufacturer of New York to Paris
Race Winner XeHls of Develop.
ment in Up to Date
Product
E. R. THOMAS
The advent of the automobile was
made possible only by tin" development
of gas englneg of extreme lightness.
An automobile engine usually weighs
some Qfteen to eighteen pounds per
"A. L. A. M." (or conservatively rated)
horse power, as compared with about
pounds r<'f horse power in the old
stationary type of gas engines.
The trend of present day automobile
I engine design is toward the long stroke,
I and toward! quietness and higher ofß
ciency.
The modern long stroke tendency
started largely on account of the won
derful speeds attained by cars with
long stroke motors in the European
"four" races. The principal reason for
this new development is t,i secure
longer lived motors, since the longer
the stroke the slower the motor can
run and still deliver its full power.
During the past five years the iiuto
mnbile has undergone gn-iit develop
ment, and at an unprecedented speed,
a phase which every new mechanic
is obliged to pass through. It has
been improved in quality and cheap
ened by the natural method of elimina
tion of the more unfit constructions.
This process Is still going on, biU at a
slower pace than formerly.
The motor has been quieted by atten
tion to the valve-operatir^g mechanism,
to the carburetor and to the exhaust,
line. It has been^ given remarkable
flexibility by improvements principally
in the carburetor and valve setting,
and the magneto has come into Its own
4l> the most reliable source of ignition
current. The radiators have been
Strengthened and increased in cooling
efficiency. The cylinder jacketing and
lubrication have been cared for in such
a way that there is no longer any ex
cuse for an overheated motor.
Transmission Is Perfected
In the transmitting system the old
cone clutch has been greatly improved,
and the new disc types have been de
veloped almost to perfection, our own
patented three-disc clutch, I believe,
being about as perfect as a dWJc can be.
Through the use of special material
and 1 of special toothed forms, together
with the annular type of ball bearings,
gear boxes have been reduced In fize
and silenced. The sliding gear has
practically eliminated all other forms
of transmission. The live rear axle
with entirely inclosed driving mech
anism has been developed from a most
uncertain mechanism to one of the
most positive and reliable units in the
car.
As regards the running gear, the
pressed steel frame came into being
but little more than five years ago,
and was seen only on one or two cars
for several seasons. It is now univer
sal, its advantages from the standpoint
of strength, lightness and cheapness
being now thoroughly understood.
For front axles the one-piece drop
forging and I-beam section has taken
the place of the old built up tube, or
hand-forged rectangular section.
The springs, especially in the rear,
have been lengthened, flattened and
made of better material, with corre
sponding increase in comfort, especial
ly at high speeds.
The wheels, apart from the hubs
and tires, have undergone less change
than any other important element, but
considered as a whole the adoption of
drawn metal hubs, roller and ball bear
ings, together with detachable rims,
have modified this unit very appre
ciably.

thus were peculiarly well pla i'd to
help the. automobile engineer in his
work.
To the large automobile manufa i

foresight and daring to invest large
sums of money In a new industry re

engineer with tho means of working
out his problems. That the American

SECRET SERVICE MAN
CONDUCTS AUTO COURSE
From secret service operative to
manager of a speedy automobile is per
a far cry, but one which Asa
Candler Jr. did not hesitate to ask J.
M. Xye of Uncle Barn's force of coun
terfeit suppressors to make, and one
which Nye did not hesitate to take,
influenced by a tempting salary and a
long contract.
For seventeen years Nye has been In
government employ in capacities which
are not mentioned by the press agent,
and while he was at Atlanta, Ga.. some
years ago ("andler met him and'de
cided he was the man needed to take
charge of the speedway of t lie .Atlanta
Automobile Race Course association, a
position in which the Jovial "Bill" has
at last been placed.
Nye leaves the government service
at the close of duty January 88 and
with his wife starts for Atlanta to as
sume his new duties. Regretting his
departure from San Francisco he finds
balm in a reerretful wire from Chief
Wilkie, a larger salary than tho chief
himself commands, and the thought
that h? is going to the city which, next
to San Francisco, he would choose for
a home.
BUYS MILES OF TIRES
Something new In the tire usage!
problem has been introduced 4> Ameri
cans recently by a foreign ti^e making
concern. The innovation consists of a
mileage system, in which the tire user
pays to the tire seller a gradually re
duced amount per mile for the use of
the tire's shoe, the inner tube not in
cluded, the payment depending on the
size of the shoe. The purchaser Is re
quired to pay each month for the
amount of usage the tires have given,
and that a record may be kept he is
required to equip his automobile with a
standard make of odometer. A deposit
is made on each shoe supplied, and the
charges nan according to size at a fixed
pri*e up to 3000 mile's..
