AUTOMOBILE DAY
AT THE COMING FAIR
Mr.. Billiard Says the Club is Preparing
for More Runs in Fall.

George Purdy Billiard returned yes
terday from his vacation on the coast
and took charge of his new Tourist
roadster which had been shipped
ahead. The car has already covered
a thousand miles in California. The
new model was much admired by local
autoists yesterday. Mr.. Billiard was
asked regarding the results of his con-
ference with dealers on the coast rela-
tive to making a display at the terri
torial fair.
He had received assurances from at
least five firms who will send over a
carload of exhibits each, a couple of
statesmen and demonstrators and a
chauffeur. The companies are the
Maxwell people, the Kesselkar and
REQ, the Tourist and the Stoddard
Dayton. The cars will be sent for eX-
hibition purposes and afterwards
stripped down for the races.
Mr.. Billiard, Secretary Kirk and
Chauffeur Fremeau went round the
track at the fair grounds yesterday
and found it in good shape for races.
Several events have been arranged for
an automobile day There will be a
time. in which the cars will go sepa-
rately There will also be a parade
of cars and a cup will be given for the
best decorated automobile. There will
also be motorcycles race on this day
for which prizes will be given.
Regarding the runs, Mr.. Billiard
said it would be impossible to get one
from Los Angeles on account of the
conditions of the roads, but that one
would be arranged from Tucson to
Phoenix The Tucson motorists would
probably be joined by cars from Bis
bee and Douglas. Col. Randolph had
agreed to allow the, autos to use the
ella river bridge for crossing and the
road from Maricopa to Phoenix is said
to be fine. There are about IFS cars
in the southern part of the territory
and it is hoped to get a goodly per
cent of them into the run.
Negotiations are also on, said Mr..
Billiard, for a run to Buckeye on the
Sunday following the fair or soon af-
ter, before the Los Angeles and Tue
son visitors leave. The Buckeye peo-
pie will give a barbecue and a rousing
time is promied if the plans carry. II
is also being considered to have a run
to the Roosevelt dam for the Los An
geles and Southern Arizona visitors,
when they will be shown the fine gov
eminent road and the big dam. The
Automobile club will get busy sooN

Ancon, Canal Zone, Aug. 1.-The
American people have set up a little
country of their own here on the
isthmUs. They hold the ground un-
der a perpetual lease, and have pro-
.ceeded to erect a stable government
which is able to protect the Ameri-
cans on the isthmus in all their right
and interests. The United States
profited by the experience of the
French, and when it took up the
task of building the canal it was
only after treaty rights had given
us fun control of the territory which
would form the basis of operations.
The republic of Panama ceded us
perpetual jurisdiction over the canal
zone-which is a strip of territory
five miles wide on each side of the
center line of the canal and extend
ing into deep water three miles be-
yond the ends of the canal This
new ncar-state of ours has its own
little revenue department, its own
postal system, its own school sys-
TEN, its own fire departments and
its own judiciary. 1t has sixteen
postoffices and the postal business
is probably heavier in portions of
the white population than anywhere
in the United States
When the French attempted to
make Culebra Mountain bow to the
waters of the oceans they allowed
jurisdiction over the canal to remain
in Colombia, since they were but a
private corporation. 1t was a costly
experiment, and they lost many thou
,e l,II
easy prey. In one case, for instance.
Colombian had thirty acres of
swamp land which was needed in the

aside from the canal project itself
The water supply of the zone and OF
the cities of Panama and Colon comes
from rivers in the zone which flow
out of unsettled mountain regions
The reservoir which supplies the city
of Panama and the settlements for
ten miles insland along the line of
the Panama railroad, has n capac-
| ity of over 500,00O.000 gallons The
average daily water consumption of
the city is approximately SOO,O 900
gallons. The charges are heavy, for
the water rates have to be high
enough to liquidate in fifty years, the
Indebtedness of the city for its con-
struction, and at the same time pay
the United States for building the

the streets. The same conditions
prevail in Colon. Before the Ameri-
can occupation the water was about
as bad as any one can imagine. 1t
was taken from questionable sources,
and peddled around by dirty water
carriers. Yet the natives have been
very critical of the American water
ever since the installation of the
present system. They say that it
does not taste good. Analy show,
however, that it compares favorably
with the supplies of most American
cities. There is an unpleasant odor
about it, however, which is said to
be caused by harmless crustacea
found in standing water In all tropi-
cal countries.
The postal service of the zone is
good. Mails are delivered very
promptly upon the arrival of the
steamers, and are dispatched close up
of the hour of scheduled sailings. A
full and satisfactory telephone serv-
ice is maintained, and roads and
trails are being built which will
make future communication by pri-
Vate conveyance very easy. 1t is the
entention, ultimately. to have a good
public highway built between Colon
and La Boca, and when the canal is
in operation the tourist may have a
comfortable and leisureIy drive across
the isthmus while his ship goes
through the canal. These roads will
be built by convict labor. so that
there viii be but little real expense

dhtll all III all lllt tdildl zone Is
one of the best governed places in
the world. a well organized police
force maintains order, and everything
that a state may do for the comfort
and welfare of the individual is to
me found. The people of this little
near state are contented and happy,
and the foundations or a system of
government have been laid which
are expected to endure as long as
the canal exists. AS good roads AND
other internal Improvements are per
fected it is expected that most of the
lands of the zone will be taken up.
and a thoroughly American settle
ment will be established
After the canal is completed. and
the men settle down to work for
them selves instead OF for the gov
eminent, they will probably ask that
they be allowed to have a voice in
the government of the zone. They
may be given it, together with a dele

Entering upon the twenty-ninth
anniversary Of its publication, The
Bee presents to its readers the por-
traits of few of its most distin-
guished friends and able men in the
country. The Bee congratulates it
self upon having the support and en-
couragement of men whose portraits
appear in this issue of The Bee.
Mr.. THOMAS L. JONES.
One of the most successful and
progressive criminal lawyers at the
local bar is Mr.. Thomas L. Jones,
who was born in Virginia, the mo
ther of presidents.
Mr.. Jones in his boyhood days
worked on a farm. After having
accumulated sufficient funds he en-
tered Wayland Seminary, from which
institution he was graduated from the
acedamic department. For several
years he held a position in the Gen
eral Land Office, at the same time
he entered the law department of
Howard University, from which he
was graduated. He entered the ex-
animation for, and after having pass
ed he was admitted to practice

North Carolina. Mr.. Dancy is a
jolly, good fellow, who endeavors to
serve his friends. He is an orator
OF no mean ability.
MR.. THOMAS WALKER.
There IS no member OF the local
bar better known to the people in
his community than Attorney Thom-
as Walker, who was born in Selma,
Ala, and was formerly a member
OF the Legislature in that State.
During Reconstruction times Mr..
Walker was one Of the most conspic-
uous and best-known citizens in the
The Washington bee., 1908-06-06

bar. Out of twenty-seven murder
cases, not one hung. The most eel
ebrated of his cases was a man by
the name of Bird. Mr.. Jones as
sociate in that case was a celebrated
lawyer of New Jersey by the name
of Daily. Hon. John NJ. Langston
subsequently associated himself with
Mr.. Jones, and they remained to-
gether up to the day of Mr.. Lang
ston'S death.
As an orator Mr.. Jones has but
few equals. His most celebrated ad-
dresses were delivered in Philadel-
phia, Pa, several months ago, and
one that was delivered in Lynchburg,
Va, last month.
Mr.. Jones has a family of two
children and a very accomplished
wife. He lives with his family at
1901 Vermont avenue northwest, in
one of the finest neighborhods and
residences in the city.
Aside from his criminal practice.

DIR. WILLIAM TINDALL.

There is no man connected with
the local government more popular
than DR.. William Tindall, secretary
of the Board of District Commits
siOners. If there ever was an honest
and upright man it is this "stalwart
of stalwarts." There is no position
under the general or local govern
ment that Dr. Tindall is not quail
fed to fill What he does not know
about government is not worth know
ing. He has grown up with this
great city. He has the confidence
of the people as well as the respect
and admiration of the entire Board
of District Commissioners. The peo-
pie of this city have long since
thought that DR.. Tindall would have
been elevated to a cOmmissionership.
He is more than qualified because
of his long connection with the local
government. Faithful and kind, hon
est and just are only a few Of the
great elements in this man. There
is no deception in him because he
believes that all persons should treat
their fellow men as he wishes to be
It is hoped that the day will come
when he will be elevated to a posi-
ton commensurate with fis long ex-
perience in governmental affairs and
his ability to exercise the functions
Of a great executive Office. The peo-
pie Of this city honor him because
he is a worthy man.
