GIidden Tourists Will Make
Michigan City Their
Mecca.
A CUP RACE IN INDIANA

The contest board announces today
that Detroit has been selected for the
starting of the annual (Glidden) tour.
The date and complete itinerary will
be given out later. The Detroit Auto
mobile Dealers association, through
President George E. Lane, guarantees
fifteen entries from that city. Detroit
has never been included in the route
of the tour and it is only proper that
its enthusiasm should be recognized

ing point Letters and kilograms from
Mayor Broitmeyer of Detroit, Com
missioner Smith, w. R. Orr. President
of the Adcraft club and different trade
organizations asking for the start Of
the tour. had a decisive bearing on
the question. The contest commit
tee feels that in selecting Detroit, it
has acted for the best interest of the
association and the automobile indus
try.
Chairman F. B. Hover of the con-
test board left for Chicago for the
purpose of making arrangements with
the railroads for hauling the train of
Pullmans which will accompany the
tour to furnish accommodations for
the tourists at night stops between
the large cities. Arrangements have
already been made for the use of
enough Pullman sleepers and dining
cars to accommodate 800 or more
tourists. but the negotiations for haul
ing the train from point to point re-
main to be taken up during this visit
of the chairman to Chicago.
Secretary Dali II. Lewis of the con-
test board Is said to be anxious to
have the Pullman train stop alongside
of some water tank each night SO that
he may be assured of his wonted cold
shower every morning. Secretary
Lewis will keep an eye out for the
water tanks on the pathfinding trip
which is being arranged to start about
the first of April. The EMF Path
finder is under orders to be ready at
that date. The route of the tour will
be announced at the time Of the start
of the Pathfinder. Secretary Lewis
says he does not know yet who his
companions will be on the trip.

mers company, chairman of the rules

Honolulu. Hawaii, March c7-The
legislature of Hawaii is taking all pos
sible steps to comply with the wishes
OF the War Department at Washing
ton in furnishing information as to
what Hawaii can do in the way Of self
defense in the event of q possible war.
Several bills have been introduced
into the legislature along these lines.
One bill provides for the preparation OF
an accurate list of those able to bear
arms within the territory.
Another bill aims directly at the Jap
anese living here, making it a misde-
meanor for Orientals to organize into
companies for drill, to take part in any
military drill or to belong to a society
or school organized for the purpose Of
instruction in drill, without the writ
ten consent Of the governor.
Caused Excitement.
During the last war excitement of a
year ago there were many stories in
circulation Of Hawaiian Japanese be-
ing drilled by Japanese officers here as
representatives of their government.
1t is doubtful If there were any sub
stantial grounds for such reports. but
the passage of the bill referred to will
prevent any further apprehension OF
the plantation japanese being organic
ed into an army corps for the purpose
of assisting Japanese fleet in captur-
ing Honolulu.
In the last session of the legislature
a bill was passed forbidding the own
ership or possession of firearms Of any
description. and ammunition, un.
less the same was reported to the vari-
Gus clerks OF the different counties.

mandant Of the National Guard. a.

Studied Topography.
A few months ago several members
of the intelligence department of the
War Department visited Hawaii and
made a thorough investigation into
conditions, studying the topography OF
the country from the standpoint OF
practical military men.
The Honolulu Chamber of Commerce
and Merchants association. on request
from the War Department, have urged
the Hawaiian legislature to appropri'
ate literally at this session for the sup
port of the National Guard regiment. II
being appreciated that the average Ha.
waiian legislator would not vote
money for the maintenance of mill.
tary force which, in his opinion. would
only be used for the benefit OF the su-
gar planters in the suppression OF
strikes and riots.
During the last few weeks the Ma
tional Guard of Hawaii has been re-
cruited up to full regimental strength
and efforts are now being made to or
ganize extra companies to be trained
in the use of coast defence guns in or
der that the regular force to be sta
toned here may be augmented with
out delay in cases of emergency.

M Bowdoin says he doesn't know
whether 1t Is Captain Kids treasure

shaft. or somebody's else. He doesn't
even know whether there is any buried
there at all or not. but he dopes 1t out
that nobody would be fool enough To

NEW SCHEME SUGGESTED FOR
TEXAS PAN HANDLE-FEAS-
IBLE FOR THE QUINCY COUN.
TRY.

A scheme is proposed in the Texas
Stockmen-Journal for the irrigation
of ten acre tracts by means Of wind
mills and tanks. There are few
places in the Quincy country that
are now being irrigated in small
way by pumps and gasoline engines.
Frank McMullen. formerly of We
natchee, is now installing gasoline
engine and pump and expects to raise
water from a we'll with which to irri-
gate several acres Of land.
The scheme is outlined as follows
in an article in the Texas Stockman-
Journal:
Il would advise, since it is well
known fact that the cowmen watered
from goo to $50 head of cattle from
each windmill on the plains, that
every farmer in the plains country
provide himself with one of those
large windmills and build him some
surface tanks and store the water
and irrigate 40 acres of land by food
ing 1t over night The water so ac-
cumulated every "a hours would wa
ter two acres each night, which
would make it possible to irrigate 10
acres every five days and would ma
ture the alfalfa near enough even SO
that it could all be cut at one cut
ting.
Il would advise that about two
acres be put in in orchard. about one
acre in garden truck and about seven
acres in alfalfa.
This alfalfa would supply plenty
of pasturage and hay any year 10
supply the dairying cows and hogs,
poultry and sheep, the horses and
other cattle that rightfully belong to
every respective farmer. and they
can also raise plenty of milo maize,
kaffir corn, sorghum, peas, etc., in
the plains country every year, and
the skim milk could be fed to all the
aforesaid stock very advantageously,
as has been demonstrated by the
agricultural and mechanical colleges
throughout the United States, and
the butter fat. of course, could be
sold to the creameries of the, cOun

here today, to continue through the
remainder Of the week. Elaborate
exhibits illustrating the resources

one of the most noticeable features
of the fair this year. Visitors are
already pouring into the city from

some of the great leaks-such as the
maintenance. of the army and navy.
The enormous sums OF money that
Is expended yearly In the perpetuity
of those two branches Of the govern
ment would, If applied to internal
improvements, accomplish wonders
that are beyond our comprehension.
1t Is said the object of the navy is
to keep peace-that it's the cheaDest
peace we can buy. But such argu-
ment does not work with men. If a
man wants to get along with his
neighbor he don't go around with
help on his shoulder and a six shoot
er in each hand. A man don't main
tain friendly relations with his neigh
Dor by keeping a growing bull dog
tied at his gate. 1t is dishonorable
for men to fight like beasts but yet
our nations seem to think. 1t is the
only way to settle their difficulties.
OF course we will grow out of it
in spite of the agitation to the con-
try. We are on the upward climb
in the scale Of civilization and will
some day rise above the insane bar
barities of war and will save our
money, our manhood and our dignity
by settling our differences in a gen
tlemanly sort of way. Let us hasten

ARMAMENT
q. Nj. THOMSON WRITES ON THE
SUBJECT OF MAKING THE
HAGUE TRIBUNAL AN INTER-
NATIONAL COURT.
Editor the Daily World:

Editor the Daily World:
To those Of as who have evolved
very far up the scale of human pro-
gress and civilization 1t Is refreshing
to read of the efforts of Congress
man Bartholdt to induce this nation
to take the initiative in devising some
means whereby the present Hague
tribunal may be transformed into a
permanent international court and an
agreement entered into between the
nations to limit ornaments. How
much more civilized that sounds than
all this blood and thunder of Robly
ID. Evans and Richard p. HObson.
The reports say that the nations that
approve such a move are only wait
ing for someone to take the lead
No. nation is more capable and COM
petent to set that example and no
nations action would be more po-
tent for good than that Of these
United States of America. Why hold
back? 1t will eventually come and
so, why clog the wheels of progress?
1t is true we need not expect the full
fiIlment of Tennysons prophecy of
the parliament of man" at the first,
but any move, however inadequate,
would be step in that direction
