TAKE TEN DAYS
TO ADOPT REPORT

Ten DAYS at the outside, is the period
set down for the Senate's consideration
and adoption of the tariff conference
report. This IS based on statements
Of Democrats and tnsurgeut Republican
Senators today. following conferences
held by both groups.
The Democrats met and were in ses-
sion two hours. There was some sharp
talk about various features in the bill
II was felt that the measure has been
made about as EXCEPTIONALLY discrim-
mate against the South IS could be pos
sible. Free hides aroused Ire antsg-
onism Of some. and the duty on cotton
bagging OF others. But the proposal TO
undertake q deliberate fIibuster against
the measure as u whole. received small
er enlargement The general conclusion
was that every Senator should be as ne
pleased, and no resolution or other ex-
preston Of policy was adopted.
Senators Bacon, Bailey. Daniel Clay
CulbcrsOn. Stone, and a few others will
make addresses on the bill. of which
that by Dir. Bailey viii probably be the
most extensive.
There will be some lively observa-
tious about how New England makes

ern automobile event is increasing at
a great rate. The ending of the Gid
den tour yesterday at Kansas City has
also served to draw the attention OF
the automobile world to the next big
tour, which will Je the Munsey contest.
It is understood that a number of
the cars that competed in the Glidden
tour wiz be entered in the Munsey
tour. c. II. Van Del WORT, president of
the Moline Automobile Company, was
quoted in Kansas City to the effect that
the three Moline cars that participated
in the Glidden tour. and which did
splendid work, viii be in the Munsey
tour next S~1tember. 4 believe in con
tests, said President Van Der WORT,
and shall be very active in that field
from now on" JUS as soon as he re-
turns to the factory it is expected the
Moline entries will be signed and sent
10 Washington.
c. H. Metz. maker of Metz Plan
Car has asked for entry blanks and
detailed information about the tour.
stating that he contemplated entering a
feet Of these well known Waltham-
made cars, The Metz is a stylish little
runabout that sells at very low price
and the maker evidently regards the
Munsey tour as offering q splendid OPP
portunity for showing what the little
cars can do over a long route.
Another OldsmObile has been entered.
The Baltimore branch of the Olds Motor
Works, Of which Ed. Leimbach is man
ager, is responsible for the entry. Mr..
Lem bach viii pilot the car himself and
as he has had a great deal of experience
in reliability contests ana other COM
petitive events, IL is evident the Oldsmo-
bile will he skillfully handled.
Mr.. LeimbaCh's entry is a fOur-Cylin-
der machine, while the other Oidsmobile
is a big six, which was entered by
the. factory through the Philadelphia
branch. With Tom Berger at the
wheel of the Big Six and Leimbach
as pilot of the four-cylinder car, the
Oldsmobie team looks like mighty
good outfit.
Thomas S. Rice. who is IN charge OF
the pathfnding party, is using a Royal
typewriter in preparing his copy" The
machine was furnished through the
courtesy of the Washington branch of
the Royal Typewriter Company.
The ChalmerS-DctrOit pathfinding car
Is equipped with two speedometers, one
a Jones, and the other a Warner autOm-
eter. The latter machine was installed
on the car by the Philadelphia branch
of the Warner instrument Company.
The use OF two speedOmeters insures the
greatest accuracy in mapping out the
Munsey route.

But what good did It do, since we couldn't keep n northern course?
 At last by one of these cuts we left our pursuers so far behind that they couldn't strike us for at least an hour, or, rather, we thought we had left them, but some thirty of them got on to shorter cut than we Suddenly we came upon a ravine couple of hundred feet deep and no way to cross. We must reach the other side by hook or by crook or be taken As to getting the horses over, that was impossible. The captain looked about for a way to cross Seeing a tall tree leaning toward the chasm, he ordered it cut down. We had nothing to cut with except our Sabers, and it was probable that our chaSers would come up before we got it hacked through. We worked lively, you may be sure, four men working at once-there wasn't room for more-and did the job in about three-Quarters of an hour. The tree fell in the right direction, the branches lying on the other side of the chasm
 But what was our horror when we were ready to cross to see the detach- ed force l spoke oft had crossed low CT down-dash up on the other side to head us off Every man of us slump ed except the captain. He coolly counted the number of the enemy. There were thirty of them. We num- bered about five more. The Confeder- ates drew up in line about a hundred yards from the ravine to dispute our passage.
 "The captain ordered us on to the log one man at time. Our bridge was round tree, the gap twenty feet wide and the chasm below about 200 feet deep. On the other side were thirty men ready to pick us off. X youngster of eighteen, reckless and brave as boys of that age are apt to be, started to run over the log. There was a cracking of carbines; the boy pitched headlong into the chasm. The second man got three-quarters of the way over when he met the same fate. 1 was close behind No. when he too fell and came near dragging me down with him"
 The veteran paused, while look of pain from mental vision of what had happened more than forty years agone passed over his face. Some one asked him how he felt. f'
 How did feel2 Oh, a lot of hor- TOT mingled with a lot of excitement. Somehow I didn't feel sure that would meet the fate of the others,

 And every time you tell it 1 wish to hear it again. You may tell it well or you may tell it badly. You cannot add to it nor can you spoil it. Such stories are independent of the narrator. They are great in themselves"
 "Well, then, to begin at the begin hing. I was In the cavalry, on scout ing service in the Shenandoah valley, with a view to finding out something about the movements of that foxy Stonewall Jackson. We numbered forty men. have always thought that we would have done better with fewer either fewer or more. We had too many for skulSing and too few to make a fight. We did make a fight, though, because we couldn't help our selves
 We met a Union man who had seen General Jackson a few hours before, and he gave us a very good estimate of the number of the men he had with him. He was marching up the valley. What we had to do was to march up the valley ourselves, but by another route. The Union man agreed to pilot us, and we started to do some quick work in transmitting the valuable in formation we possessed.
 "The captain sent three men to sneak through independent of the rest of us or each other But there wasn't one of em got there. When the informa- tion was delivered we of the main body took it in. You can judge how desperate was the situation when I tell you that every skulkar was taken or killed.
 "A Confederate sympathiZer who met us mounted q swift horse and carried the Confederates information of our presence fin the enemy's country. They sent two mounted companies after us. and for about ten hours we were driv- en east, west, north and south-any- where everywhere. to keep away from a force the number of which we didn't know.

come back for several days. 1t might be men,
toned in this connection that the divorce colony
has brought to Reno over 100 motor cars.
The leading hotels are always crowded, and
the rents for cottages have appreciated, on the
average, to the extent of so per cent in the last
six months. In some instances the increase has
been much greater. One cottage that rented for
$50 month in January last, now returns its own
er rental of 500 month.
Perhaps the one thing that endears Reno to
the visiting divorce more than anything else is
its proximity to San Francisco. One may board a
train in Reno and be in the Pacific coast metrop-
oils in ten hours. Despite its manifold attrac-
tons, life in Reno is likely to wear irksome upon
those who have been used to existence in larger
centers, and the visitors to a great extent, soon.
er or later during their stay, take trip or half
dozen trips, over the Sierras to the city by the
Golden Gate
Such visits while affording relief from the
monotony of life in Reno, do not impair the resi-
dence qualifications necessary to the obtaining
of divorce. To again quote the Nevada divorce
authority already mentioned: ea ~
Under the provisions OF Section % of the
Marriage and Divorce act, the plaintiff must re-
side IN the state for a period of at least six
months. This is not construed to mean that In
order to fully comply with the statute the party
must remain here continuously for said period
So If party comes to Nevada, and in good faith
takes up residence, the party may leave the
state at any time after establishing residence,
may 60 and travel when and wherever the party
chooses and may return to the state whenever in
clination prompts, and yet such temporary alb
sence would not in any wise affect the legality of
the residence established, but the party would be
entitled under the law to bring suit any time
after the lapse of six months from the date resi-,
dence was originally established notwithstanding
the party's absence from the state during said
period" .rr.-.. -.-..

OF the situation, and yet to learn the lesson that
such state of affairs can only result in the NOR.
al degradation of the youth of the community-a
lesson which caused South Dakota to reform her
divorce laws-Reno appears to be perfectly con-
tented with things as they are.
But Reno is busily engaged in cleaning house,

legislature does not meet until Janu-
airy of 1911. There are others who
point to the experience of South Da'
kota, which for 20 years fought the
evils of lax divorce laws before re-
peal was secured, and say that the
meralists of Nevada have an equally
stubborn task before them. But Ne

ing being permitted for 40 years with

gambling was passed-the act to take

the slack divorce laws can be more
easily repealed.
