Santa Fe New Mexican After
-Four Days Learns About the
Brutal Affair at Territorial
Penitentiary

Especial Dispatch 10 the Morning journal !
Santa Fe. n. NJ. July 25.-The
Santa New Mexican this evening notes
the case Of the stabbing Of the unfor-
tunate Mexican Romaldez IN the ter
ritoTial penitentiary last saturday by
the prisoner Myers. who was used az
a case In point Of TrelfCrd's brutality
during the Trelford investigation.
Romaldez was stabbed by Myers
last Saturday The New Mexican ap-
parently did not learn anything about
II at all until the story appeared Ia
the Morning Journal This Is cOnsid-
cred somewhat curious in view of the
New MeXican's exclusive knowledge OF
conditions al the territorial prison
both during and following the Trel-
ford administration. The New MeNi-
can ingeniously blamcs Trelford for
the stabbing of Romaldez by Myers.
The New Mexican sweetly explains
that before Trelford came into tn"
prison the prisoners were allowed to
cat their meals with their hands and
teeth like dogs. that Trelford supplied
them with knives and forks and that
he therefore made u possible for the
much abused and sorely maltreated
Myers 10 secure the knife with whirn
he sought the life of Romaldez. The
explanation Is satisfs ing in some wavS
but IL hardly explains why IL took the
New Mexican 80 long to get the story.

GLIDDEN TOUR
ROUTE IS
PLANNED
Suggestion to Start Run at
Buffalo for White Mts.
FavOrably Received.

Since President Hotchkiss, of the Amer
lean Automobile Association, has started
the ball rolling in preparation for the next
annual tour of the national body, more
generally known as the Glidden tour, a
number of proposals for the route have
already been made and one Of the most
feasible has been made by Dai H. Lewis,
of Buffalo, the secretary of the A, A. A.
touring board
This route would nave the cars meet at
Buffalo, then run to Pittsburg, then to
Baltimore over the course used last sum-
mer, and from that city run up the coast,
through Philadelphia, Atlantic City and
New York to the White Mountains, where
some hill-climbing or other extra contests
might be held and where the A. A. A.
could have the annual meeting suggested
by President Hotchkiss in his message to
the motorists of the country and the MEM
bers OF the three As.
Som people are In favor of having Of
fieial observers appointed by rival fac
tories who would be competent to watch
the machines on which they were riding
and they would be changed every day.
1t is also suggested that the schedule for
the entire tour be set at the start and be
continued throughout the run irrespective
of the weather or road conditions. This
would do away with the petty bantering
at the end of each days tour. as was the
case this year. With this condition there
would probably be a classification accord
ing to price or some other weli-recognized
standard and the different classes would
have different time schedules to which
they would be required to adhere each
day.
To lengthen the run sufficiently to ex-
tend over a period Of two weeks, or at the
least ten days, a number of routes might
be chosen. For instance, the run might
start from Cleveland, as 1t did last year,
and run to Pittsburg via Erie, and from
New York it might continue up the Hud-
son River Valley to Albany and then up
through Glens Falls and Rutland, VT, and
then to the White Mountains. A still bet
ter course from Albany would take the
tourists through the Berkshire Hills and
across Massachusetts's smooth highways
to Boston and then up the coast to a
point where roads open to the objective
point.
There is still plenty of time to decide
the route. but it is up to the A. A. A.
TO stop its dilatory tactics and follow the
rules for the automobile contests are an
nounced months ahead of the start, and
this will apply equally well in regard to
the route to be chosen.
Chairman Frank Is. Hover is in the
West and has not as yet given much
thought to the question, but it is expected
tina he viii take it up as soon as he re-
turns.
