In the automobile started .olrt
by The Call and Herald Wilf::*be
seated Mr.. John D. Davis, : a.
writer OF proved ability, and his
accomplished wife. They viii
send by wire each day, to The
Call and the Herald, a full .ac-
count of their journey, the dis
tance covered, the incidents; by
the way, the enthusiasm which
will greet the adventurous: tfav-
elers, and which will grow and
grow until they feel the soft
breezes Of the Pacific on their
faces and come to a halt in. front
of The Call building on Market
street.
Mrs. Davis, herself a brilliant
writer, will from time to time
furnish The Sunday Call with her
story of the trip as viewed from
the standpoint of a bright
woman. Surely no woman has
ever had such an exciting ex-
perience as that before Mrs.
Davis, and her story will be
looked for anXiously.
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis will be
equipped to take photographs
by the way, and these will be
mailed in advanceof the travellers
to The Call and will be used to
illustrate their stories, both in
The Call and in the Sunday edi-
ton. In addition to this it has
been arranged that at the conclu-
sion OF the trip Mr.. Davis will
write a series of stories, repEete
with detail and fully illustrated;
giving to the readers of The Sun.
day Call comparison of the trip
across the continent in an auto-
mobile with the trip as the forty
miners made it in old days.
Next Sundays Call will con
tain full description OF the auto
mobile that has been built spe-
cially for this, the most sensa-
tional long-distance race against
time ever made across the cohti-'
nent. Automobiles in general
will be fully discussed, furnishing
wealth of information on the
subject. =.

Nothing to compare with the

miles. He will find some good
stretches OF road in the East, and
some. fair roads in the Middle
West. but he will have to follow
stage coach routes through the
Rocky Mountains and the cattle
trails used by the iorty-niners
across the plains. He will have
rivers to oaford and rocky ravines
to traverse that may play the
mischief with his pneumatic
tires.
The progress OF Mr.. Davis and
his wife in their automobile will
be reported in the San Francisco

If Mr.. Davis succeeds in reaching
his destination according to pro

According to the United
States postal guides the shortest
rail route from New York to San
Francisco is $3.50 miles. BY
wagon road the distance is. at
least 10 per cent greater. A cy-
clometer attached to the auto
mobile will record the actual dis
tance travelled. 1t is the inten-
ton OF Mr.. Davis to make an
early morning start each day,
rest at midday, and run
again in the late afternoon

tions will be sought at hotels and
road inns until the plains are
reached, and then Mr.. and Mrs.
Davis will put up at ranches over
night. In the mountains a tent
may be used for camping out in
case it is found that roadhouseS
are lacking. Good roads maps
of the League OF American
Wheelmen will be consulted in
all States in which they have
been issued. Mr.. Davis has had
some experience on the plains,
but with all of his efforts to
gather information concerning
the roads, he admits that for a
long stretch in the Far West they
are an unknown quantity to him.
He is determined, however. to
get through to the coast in the
shortest possible running time,

Deputies to-day when the order
of the day of the Right was
adopted, expressing confidence in
the president of the house against the
vote of Socialists. The announcement
Of the vote was the signal for a general
uproar, all the Deputies rushing to the
center of the floor, where a free fight
took place M. Guchtenacre, Catholic
Labor member from Ghent, was badly
beaten by Socialists. A guard of SOL
diers on duty finally cleared the gall
leries and the session was suspended.
The Minister of War, NJ. J. H. P. Van

abuse by the Socialists, who blamed
him for originating the uproar

Representative Laybourn said that
the best element of organized labor of
Duluth was in favor of the anti-boy-
colt bill Mr.. Laybourn stated some
thing that was not true. Does he not
know that the Trades Assembly of
this city passed resolutions condemn
ing the measure and sent delegate
to- St. Paul to lobby against it? Mr..
Laybourn may voice the sentiment of
one or two members of organized lab
or, who are after political pie, and
who failed to get the Trades Assembly
to endorse the bill, but that is all.

Hits the Nail on the Head.


Editor Labor World:
The trouble between the manage
ment and employees of the street rail-
way continues unabated and every
day or two number of the old en-
ployes are discharged without be-
ing given any tangible reason for
their dismissal. I say trouble be-
tween the manager and street railway
employees, this is not correct, it is
case of rotten, soulless corporation
committing an outrage on defense
less workmen because it has the power
and for no other reason than that the
men belong to organized labor and
demand they be treated fairly at the
hands of their employers.
Now, let us go into this matter a
little. Let us look the situation
squarely in the face and from an un-
prejudiced standpoint size it up as it
really is, granting to the company
it's full rights and taking into account
it's obligations to the public.
G. G. Hartley and Luther Menden-
hall are conceded to be the moving
spirits in the ownership and manage
ment of the Duluth Street railway, by
virtue of the council, years ago, grant,
ing them franchise to construct and
operate a street railway. This was
all they had to start with. On the
strength of the cities generous gift
they We're able to interest eastern
capital to advance the money to lay
the tracks, build the cars and equip

lend helping hand when the COM
munity grants exclusive franchises.

AT THE GRAND.
"NliIniEht Bell.'


/. r. Stockwell and his own COM
pany of players will appear at the
Grand on Monday night, March 20,
in Charles Hoyt's greatest success,
"a Midnight Bell" Mr.. stockwell is
well and favorably known as one of
the best comedians on the American
stage. He is without an equal in his
particular line. He possesses a de-
lightful quaintness, unction and or
iginality, and has proved a strong
drawing card. lie is now concluding
a very successful season at>the Alca-
zar, where he is appearing nightly to
packed houses. "a Midnight Bell'' is
undoubtedly the most legitimate and
pretentious effort Of Hoyt's. His 9th
er pieces are simply broad farces, but
it is charming drama of rural vii
lage life, with an interesting story,
in which pathos and comedy are alter
mated. It was Mr.. Stockwell who first
made this play popular in San Fran
cisco, and his performance of Deacon
Iemuel Tidd not only won for him the
praise of the. press and public, out al
so the thanks of the author, and sub
sequently at his solicitation he starred
for two seasons under his
management in the mot important
cities of the east an produced with the
same scenery and effects used in it's
most metropolitan production.

is not Eoilermaker.) He hires the
men under the impression that he
(the foreman) is the contractor, but
the company pays the men, buys all
material and pays all expenses. AS
this man announced himself the con-
tractor lodge No. 80 appointed COM
mittee to wait on and try and have
him employ boilermakers and pay the
standard rate of wage. When that
committee called on him he gave them
to understand he was only foreman
and was in no way responsible for the
small wages paid the men, but made
the remark that if he had his way he
would hire only boilermalSers and pay
the standard rate. The committee then

For the State Children's Home Societ!

For the State Children's Home Society
Assured by Mr.. Davis's Gift.
Special to the Register
CHARLESTON, December S.-The
munificent gift of $4,000 made by ex-
Senator Henry G. Davis to the Chii-
dren's Home Society of West Virginia
will result in the erection of new
building for the society. Mr.. Davis
became deeply interested in the work
OF the Children's Home Society some
time ago and offered to donate to 1t
the sum named for the purchase or tie
erection of a home for it. He desired
to do this for two-fold purpose
first, for the good it would do for I'M
fortunate parents and children, and,
second, that it might stand as me-
mortal of him after his death.
Mr.. Davis was here a few days ago
and examined several buildings offered
for sale to the society, but none OF
them was entirely satisfactory or suit
able for the urpose of the society
However, he left with the executive
committee the matter of deciding
whether to purchase one of the build
ings offered or the erection of new
one. Those offered were nearly all res
licences and ranged in price from six
to ten thousand dollars. After consid-
ering the matter for several days the
committee decided to reject all offers
of buildings and erect a new one. They
expect to get a suitable lot near the
Riverside Park and to erect building
at cost of about seven or eight thou
sand dollars. At meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee last night sub
committee was appointed to negotiate
for the purchase of lot and an arch
itect was asked to make plans for a
building.
Mr.. Davis proposes not only to do
nate 10000 for the building, but 10
furnish sufficient funds to run the in
stltution for several years.
The object of this society is to find
homes for orhan children and children
of childless parents. The officers Of
the society are George w. Atkinson,
President; Rev. R. w. Roller. Hon.

ROBERTS AND OTHERS.

Detroit Free Press: Others argue
that Roberts will not be polygamist
until he takes his place with his fell
lows in Congress.
Toledo Commercial: Don't stop AT
Roberts. Kick out of the national
halls of legislation all the white
sepulchers," say the people.
Louisville Courier-Journal: Roberts
had better voluntarily get out of Con-
gress unless he is willing to risk the
corruption of his morals.
Manchester Union: How nice it
would be if Congress would extend its
work of self-purifcation and high
moral living beyond the Roberts case.
Cleveland Plain Dealer: The Rob-
erts matter has developed the painful
fact that number of members of the
House are qualified experts on ques-
lions regarding immoral conduct.
Arizona Republican: The Sultan of
Sulu is doubtless waiting to see how
Mr.. Roberts's fortunes turn out before
making any further overtures for rec
ognition in American politics.
Nashville Banner: Congressman
Roberts should be unseated, but be-
fore stepping down and out he may be
tempted to make some cutting obser-
