mics,

London, May 29.-Charles j. Gid
den, the famous American motorist,
who was the first man TO drive an
auto through the Holy Land, has re-
turned to this city. He will rest at
The Hotel Carlton for a few days be-
fore resuming his fifty thousand mile
tour through the principal countries
OF the world.
Mr.. Glidden left London in 1901,
and up to the present time has trav-
elled 46,52S miles in his machine. He
has visited thirty-nine countries. and
has traversed some extremely difficult
roads and mountain passes. The rest
of his schedule will bring him
through Algeria, Tunis, Spain, Portu-
gal, Norway, Russia, and possibly
Cuba and Jamaica. He is turning his
attention to ballooning, and has in
prospect an aerial trip from Omaha
to Boston in an attempt to beat the
Count Delavaux's record Of 1908
miles.
"My arrival in Jerusalem by auto
mobile" said Mr.. Glidden, was con-
sidered such an event OF importance
that the chief judge at that place told
me the event would be duly chron-
icled and placed among the archives
which date back TO the Christian

BLOW UP PIPELINE
WITH DYNAMITE
Two Attempts Have Been Made to
Cut OFF CaTri1ozo's Water supply
Within Past Week.

Carrizozo. y. M, May 29.-(Spe-
cia) ).-Considerable apprehension is
felt by the people of this place about
their water supply as result of two
attempts made within the past week
to blow up the pipe line which brings
the water here from the Rio Bonito.
ON one occasion the pipe was COM
pletely smashed. as If stick of dyna-
mite had been exploded beneath it,,
and the town, as well as the Ell Paso
& Southwestern railroad, was short of
water for several hours while the
break was being repaired.
The secret service department of
the railroad has been working on the
case but no arrests have been made as
yet. II is believed that persons dis
satisfied with prices they received for
the right-of-way of the pipe across
their land are guilty OF breaking the
pipe, and It is feared that serious
trouble will result II the differences
are not amicably settled.

with great patience and at infinite
trouble and risk has faithfully made
an exact reproduction OF the original
stone.
The fac-simile OF the monument on

almost imperishable tablet was hewd
more than LOO years ago.
