l050 Miles in an Automobile

Little Rock, Dec. 3. - Ohio mules and Kentucky mud could not stop Fred Creb bin, William Rodgers and w. H. Workman, who are touring from Detroit to Dallas, Texas, in the Billy Bounce, the 1908 thirty horse power Prokard touring car, but an Arkansas stump most effec- lively did the work. The journey had to be temporarily stopped after a collision between automo- bile and stump and the car shipped to Little Rock for re pairs, which were made at a local garage. The three young men left Detroit on the evening of November 14th, for a milage test of the car, which had al ready, since February 1st, GOV cred 37 GOO miles.
 Memphis was finally reached. Here the tourists rested for a day, cleaned up their car and started on into Arkansas. They crossed the Mississippi at 10:30 Tuesday morning, finding little difficulty until they entered the woods. Chains were put over the tires so there was little diff culty in passing through the

The constitution makes the President

amendment of the constitution the land

otherwise infamous crime. In making
the President commanderin-chief,t the
constitution conferred upon him all the
power and authority ordinarily exer-
cised by the cOmmander-in-ch under
the military law of the times. Broadly
speaking the power of the commander
in-chief could punish or dismiss from
the service without any restriction ex-

New York, Jan. 1.-THE search for
three firennen who went down with the
ruins when HiII's paper warehouse was
burned last night, was suddenly halted
tonight as the sound Of some one rap

they stared at each other a voice from

ed as that of John Seifert, was family

hope. encouraged them.

tangle of debris from which a shat

of timber and steel which held it

PRoTRACTED DEBATE EXPECTED,
Senator Gearin Speaks Two Hours
On japanese Questionable
Galleries Are Crowded.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Prcsident
Roosevelt's dismissal of the negro
troops was again the subject Of conten-
tons point to a protracted debate be-
fore any of the pending resolutions on
the subject are voted on.
Senator Lodge developed a new phase
of the question by presenting a resolu-
ton providing for an investigation of
the "affray" at Brownsville and by 81
lence, conceding the Presidents au-
thority to take the action he did. This
resolution was supported by Mr.. Lodge
in an address and opposed by Senator
Foraker, who followed and spoke until
$50 o'clock, giving notice then that ne
would conclude tomorrow.
Mr.. Lodge said:
Two questions are here involved. a
They are entirely distinct, they ought
to be settled separately and neither
should be permitted to cloud or obscure
the other in the public mind. The ques-
ton Of fact may be stated in this way:
There was shooting in the streets OF
Brownsville on the night of Aug. Is
lyUU, houses were IlTeu lHtb, one HIdI
was killed, and the lieutenant of police
had his horse shot from under him AND
was so severely wounded in the arm
that i,mputation was necessary. These
facts are admitted and are not dis
puted by any one. The shooting was
done by some one, it was done either
by United States soldiers from For
Brown, or by inhabitants of the tow
of Brownsville.
Whether the United States soldier:
or the inhabitants Of Brownsville dis
the shooting on the night Of Aug. 10,
