THE members of the Twentieth

Stebbins. Atthe close of the program,
which was an interesting one on
American Historians Miss Jessie
Stebbins as leader, all were requested
to remain for time. A dainty lunch
was served by the hostesses and this
was followed by some well chosen
words by the president of the club an
! nouncing the betrothal of one of the
| clubs dearest and most valuable mem
bers, Miss Jessie Stebbins, to Mr.
Clarence Bliss, of Julesburg, Colorado.

Mills, who has been listening for two
weeks to evidence in Thaw's applica-

sane, put him through searching en-
animation which dealt with vital points
in Thaw's psychology as developed DUR
ing recent hearings.
Why he killed White what his be-
liefs were concerning Whites alleged
immoral practices, why Thaw wrote the
great mass of "nonsensical rubbish
while in the Tombs awaiting the out
come of his trials for murder, and what
were his reasons for continually dis
charging lawyers and engaging new
ones were the main points Justice
Mills touched upon.
1t was clear that Thaw's lame expla-
nations were not satisfactory. In fact,
the justice told him all these things

court, as tending to show disordered
state of mind.
This judicial examination, which seem

he would not ask his client a question.

CARS PUT TO A SEVERE TEST
FINISH OF THE GLIDDEN TOUR
AT KANSAS CITY.
Chairman Hover Says That It Was
the Hardest Trip Ever Made
Under Like Conditions.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, July 31.-The
American Automobile Associations sixth
annual endurance tour. and its most sue
5:O7 o'clock yesterday afternoon when
Chairman Frank B. Howers car. a Pre-
| mier, bearing two pilots. three other
members of the contest board and
Charles II. Glidden, donor of the Glidden
trophy, dashed across the state line into
Kansas City. Nine minutes later the first
of the contestants, a Pierce-Arrow, en-
tered the city and the others followed in
rapid succession.
Pilot Cars Give Out.
On yesterdays trip from Salina both
pilot cars gave out. Chairman Hover
followed closely behind these cars, and
| instead Of allowing them to wait to make
repairs he instructed the pilots to board
his car, and from Cedar Falls his car
acted as pilot. The three other members
OF the contest board in Chairman How
ers car were s. P. Stevens of Rome,
N. y: +. A. Webb of Brooklyn and w.
w. Wright of Wilkesbarre.
All the cars were parked last night in
Convention Hall, where they will be care
fully examined by the technical commit
tee. All the points of the trip must
be considered before the winner can be
announced. 1t likely will be several days
before this work can be completed.
Hardest Trip Of the Kind.
This by all means is the hardest trip
ever made under like conditions said
Mr.. Hover. I'm the first place, it has
been the hardest test that has ever been
imposed upon such a number of touring
cars. and in my opinion has certainly
proved the durability and incidentally the
worth of every car that has finished the
trip. This trip has certainly served its
purpose, that of thoroughly testing every
car entered and at the same time arous-
ing enthusiasm among the people gener.
ally through whose territory the course
led. 1t Is the first trip of it's kind through
the western country, but by no means is
it the last.
There is strong talk of having the next
tour from San Francisco to Boston, and il
seems that this plan might be carried out
Almost from the time we started we have
had bad roads. This, however, was due
to bad weather. The last 200 miles of the
trip were the worst I have known"
Strictly an Endurance Test.
"The tour" said Mr.. Glidden, ''has
truly developed into strictly an endurance
test This year everything went to make
1t hard trial and took away nearly. all
of the elements that go to make up a
mere trip for pleasure.
mot only have natural conditions made
this trip harder than any yet made, but
the rules have been much more severe,
the twenty-six mile an hour stipulation at
first SCENIC to me, as well as others, as
something impossible of accomplishment
throughout the tour. 1t was made, how
ever and all of the credit due car for
passing through the hardest test possible
| should be given the forty cars in this
contest"
