Forgets His Baby Grandson;
Then ChaSeS After Street Car
Civil War Veteran Acting Nurse for Day. Takes Child
Out for Ride, But His Observation-Disclosures
Makes Some Fun for Crowd

1t was an enjoyable ride until the
corner of Fourteenth and H streets was
reached where Johnson made the awful
blunder that came near costing him one
grandson and an unlimited amount of
explanation to his daughter and son-in-
law.
In the rush to leave the car johnson
took the perambulator in his hands and
stepped to the pavement and started to
open the seat in which he was going to
place his grandson. Then the car started.
When the old man looked around for
a child to place in the perambulator
there was none. A block away he saw
the street car on which he had been rid
ing. The veteran prepared for a charge
such as he had not made for many years.
Rushes Down Hill.
Down the hill he dashed, the light
perambulator bouncing high in the air
as II struck the car tracks, but there was
no obstacle big enough to stop the
frightened grandfather. He was going
to chase that car until it reached the
north pole II necessary.
A chase to the north pole was saved
the old man. for there was a crowd at
the corner waiting to board the car and
johnson reached the car step in time to

For a moment the conductor feared '.e

GLIDDBN TOUR
is POSTPONED
Will Not Start from This
City Until Next Fall.

The Glidden tour has been postponed
from June q until next fall. the date
to be announced later. All of the cars
entered In the contest will be 1872 models.
The postponment is due to the inability
Of the manufacturers to comply with the
stock car requirements of the contest.
These rules provide that at least twenty
five Of any model in a contest must have
been built before car is eligible to COM
pete in any sanctioned event. At the
present time the majority OF the auto
mobile manufacturers are busily engaged
in manufacturing next seasons models.
and but few II any have built the re-
quired number.
The 1911 season has but a few more
weeks to run. and. In fact, a number OF
manufacturers are out with their 1912 an
nouncetnents. though the present season
seems to have hardly begun. However,
every automobile manufacturer is anxious
to be among the first to make an an
nouncement of a new model. 1t is under
stood on good authority that but thirteen
entries had been received to date for the
Glidden tour. and these Professionally. the
manufacturers contending that the time
was to short now to exploit 1911 cars. and
that their next years models would be on
the market almost before the conclusion
Of the tour, and certainly before they
could hope to reap any benefits from the
advertising they would get out Of the
trip.
Not only do the rules require that
twenty-five cars of a particular model
must be built, and that II must be regis
tered, but they also demand that this
registration certificate be accompanied by
a check for $3.50 for each model. In ad
dition. the manufacturer must be willing
to stand all expenses In addition to a
salary of SO per day for a technical
man from the American Automobile As
sociation while he visits the factory and
checks up the registration certificate with
the car IL Is for. According to reports, q
number of the larger manufacturers OBJ
tected to paying this sum when within q
few weeks they would be required to go
through the same performance again II
they wished to nominate any Of their
next seasons models in a licensed event.
They said the one tour would not be
worth registering for.
The news of the postponement Of the
tour was received with regret by the
local motorists. and especially the Auto
mobile Club of Washington. which had
made extensive plans to entertain the
tourists during their stay here. A car
nival and hill climb had been planned.
Capt. T. S. Johnson, of the club, said
last night that the carnival would be
postponed. but the hill climb would prob
ably be held.

Pushing a folding perambulator rapidly
down Fourteenth street with one hand
gesticulating wildly with the other, r.
Swan Johnson was the center of interest
to the crowds at the transfer point at
New York avenue yesterday afternoon
when he pursued a street car containing
his little grandson, whom he had forgot
ten in leaving the car at H street.
Johnson is a veteran Of the civil war,
and is not accustomed to caring for small
children Yesterday he was giving COM
plete charge of his only grandson. for
his daughter and her husband wished to
make a visit to friends in Baltimore and
did not want the baby to suffer from the
trip on the train.
Therefore, Johnson started in the day
as nurse to his little grandson in the
Dunbarton Court apartments in George
town, and looked forward to a day of
merriment. But the fates seemed to be
against him. The baby did not enjoy
the sunshine in the apartment and its
walls drove the old man to the verge
of burning the bowl from his cob pipe
as he sat moodily looking out of the
window putting rapidly to get inspira-
tion for some clever mode of entertain
ing the crying baby.
Decides on Car Ride.
4 bright light came. He would take
the baby for a car ride to the capitol
and the rush of the rapidly moving car
would furnish entertainment for his
grandson. and Incidentally give him
little respite from the trials as nurse.
The baby was placed in the perambu-
lator, for Johnson Is too old now TO
carry his grandson with the swinging
gait that characterized his walk in war
time days. On boarding the car the
perambulator was folded. and placed be-
tween Johnsons knees so no one would
be able to steal It on the car ride.

challenge Of Conley and has posted a

fight will be made by Harry Gilmore,

the fight will be pulled off before the

it be over the forty-fve round route

to Coulon and his father. Coulon will
not go into the ring again until he

the fight will take place before one

Insurance Policies to the Amount of

The annual reports of the life in
surancc policies paid during the year
1910 have been sent out by the In
surance Press and these show that dur
ing the year a total of 100000 was
paid to policy holders in the state of
Wisconsin. Milwaukee is first in the
state with total of $2,71S,500. Ke-
nosha is placed as the twelfth city be
ing $95,500. The largest amount paid
in Kenosha was to the estate of the
late 4. G, Simmons, he having policies
in the sum of $3S,13S. Racine had a
total of $4,000 paid during the same
period AMI Appleton was second in the
state with total of $36S,O00. This is
the largest amount paid in insurance
policies in Kenosha in many years and

MUST HAVE UNIFORMS.

The committee appointed by the city
council, Boy Scouts of Kenosha, has
decided that the uniform necessary for
the Scout to have who goes into camp
at Camp Logan, in August, shall be
regulation hat, shirt, trousers, leggins,
belt and staff. It is also suggested
that the knapsack would be more de-
sirable, but it is not made obligatory.
While the council insists that the fun
damental principle of scoutcraft be
rigidly lived up to, that each scout
must earn his own uniform, it finds
nothing inconsistent with this princi-
pie in the scout masters securing a
fund for the purchase of uniforms, in
case of necessity, with the strict I'm
derstanding that each scout so aided
shall pay back the money advanced as
speedily as possible.
