CHINESE, 30 YEARS IN
 ARMY, NOT 4 CITIZEN

LINCOLN, Neb.. Nov. 2.-AfteI serving the United States for thirty years as a soldier. and being retired or a service pension. Edward D. Cahota of Valentine Neb., presents an illus. tration of a man literally without c country.
 He finds to his dismay that he can- not be a citizen unless congress by special net shall SO declare him one His service includes the latter part oi the civil war, wherein he fought with General Grant at Cold Harbor, Peters burg and Appomattox.
 Cahota is a Chinese. Until recently he supposed he was an American citi, zen. He has always exercised his rights as a voter. and had no doubt he was a ull-fedged American. Re- gently, however, he desired to take a homestead, and filed at the govern ment land office at Valentine. paid his fee of $14. and expected soon to take up his residence on the land.
 The government officials. upon look ing into the application, notified Cahota he was not citizen of this country. could probably not become a citizen, and therefore could never prove up on his homestead. His $14 was returned. and he was informed that no court in this country could grant him citizenship papers.

ca be surpassed by any other city. Mr.
Denison further urges the use OF the
Midland Trail, which terminates in
Oakland This is but ore instance OF
the interest taken in the tour. The
Chamber of Commerce of Colorado
Springs urged that their city be in
Guided in the itinerary. The Denver
Chamber of Commerce, the Automo-
bile Club of Utah, the Reno Automo-
bile Club, the San Diego County Auto
Owners Club and the Progressive
business Mems Club of Portland, Ore,
all join in cordial invitation. 1t is
really surprising.
In addition, the automobile dealers
themselves have awakened to the pub
Lefty and sales value of this tour and
in nearly every city the dealers have
gotten together in an effort to III
fuence us in the selection of a route
The Los Angeles dealers and owners
are especially insistent that we come
to their city.
Newspapers throughout the entire
West are devoting columns of space
to the tour. They realize fully the
benefits to be derived from tour of
this kind and make me wonder If we
ourselves are fully awake to the great
Il amount of publicity and untold ben
efits that will reflect on Indianapolis
and Indiana-made cars. While this
will react primarily ON the automobile
industry of the state it is bound to
help and boost every other industry.
When the tour is run Indiana will be
in the limelight as it has never been
before. The boosters here at home
mean a great deal but how much more
important and how much greater the
benefit accruing from the boosting of
newspapers, civic bodies, automobile
owners and automobile dealers across
the entire width of this great conti-
nent. There will not be hamlet but
will know indianapolis and Indiana
made cars. Everybody will be boost
ing and the cars on the tour will 1e

astic over the prospects of this trip

ENTHUSIASTIC OVER THE OUTLOOK

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind April 23.-
ID. S. Menasco. vice president Of the
American Motors Company OF this
city, and chairman of the 1912 -Four
States tour of the Indiana Automobile
Manufacturers Association, has Just
returned from an extended trip
through the West During this trip
Mr.. Manasco visited Denver, Salt Lake
City, Los Angeles, San Francisco,
Portland, Seattle, Sacramento. Oak
land and San Diego, and other Of the
principal cities of the West, and es-
pecially those towns on the proposed
route of the Pacific coast tour Of the
Indiana manufacturers.
While the trip was fnitially made
I'm the interest of the American Mo-
tors Company, large part of Mr.
Menasco's time was spent in inYesti
eating the possibilities of the pro
posed tour and the attitude Of the
west towards the Indiana Automobile
Manufacturers. He returns full of en-
thusiasm over the reception rendered
him at all points and especially over
the great interest being taken in the
Indiana Manufacturers by the dealers,
prospective purchasers and civic
bodies of the West. In speaking of
the conditions of that section of the
country Mr.. Menasco says:
Il am indeeds surprised at the wide
interest that is being taken in this
tour. In fact, people or Los Angeles,
Sacramento and San Francisco know
more about the tour and talk more
about 1t than the people right here in
the center of the Indiana automobile
industry. In every city visited, as
soon as the automobile editors learned
that I was I'm town they called ON me

MOTOR TRUCKS
in HARD WORK
LocomobiIes Used on Big Con-
tracing JOB Overcome
All Obstacles

Motor trucks have been found in
dispensable in the construction of a
new reservoir which will help supply
Bridgeport, Conn, with water 1t is
the largest. reservoir in Bridgeport
water system, and when finished will
contain 4,500 100000 gallons of water.
A concrete dam stretching across
on end of valley and forming an
artificial lake over three-quarters of
mile long was the only construc-
ton. 1t is ninety-two feet high at
its highest point, 1850 feet wide, and
was year and half in building.
About five heavy-duty trucks were
used Two of these were Locomobile
five-ton trucks. These trucks made
record so satisfactory to the
Bridgeport Hydraulic Company, in
charge of construction, that it has
purchased two more of the same
make.
The two already in service have
aggregated 400 working days in a
period of nine months. They have
averaged fifty-two and one-half miles
per day each, with an average load of
five and one-half tons, making three
trips per day.
The cost of operating these trucks
was $13.25 per day each, or SO cents
per ton mile, every conceivable ex-
pense misunderstanding, tires. driv-
er's wages, garage hire, depreciation
and repairs-but there were no re-
pairs.
This record is phenomenal because
of the poor roads over which these
trucks have operated. In many
places they could hardly be called
roads at all, they were mere stretches
of mud and sand in which the. wheels
often sank up to the hubs.
The Bridgeport Hydraulic Company
is authority for the statement that
with horses the work could not have
been completed in a period of three
years. and that each truck did as
much work in shorter space of
time as twelve horses would have
done.

POSTMASTER GENERAL MAKES
PROMISE OF NUMEROUS CHANGES
BURLES0N SAYS THE
SERVICE WILL HAVE
THOROUGH OVERHAUL

That Postmaster-General Burleson
contemplates great number of
sweeping changes in his department
just as soon as he has familiarized
himself with conditions is most appar-
ent from the following, which ap-
peared in a recent issue of the Wash
ington Star:
while deploring sensational pub
hcity given to his proposed action in
making changes in the personnel OF
the official line of the post office de
partment. Postmaster-General Burle-
son declared today unequivocally that
sooner or later there would be a
change all along the line, and that
for the good of the service there
would be a reimbursement of the force
THE Immediate cause for the dec
laration was the published story that
there was to be sweeping reorgan-
ization OF the railway mail service.
The postmaster-General said he
had not yet taken up that service, but
would do so in time. He could not
say at this time, therefore, precisely
what would be done.
Clean Sweep Anticipated.
Ills declaration is construed by
hoidover officials to mean a clean
sweep sooner or later, and probably
with the big event July /, when the
appropriations for the new fiscal year
become available.
1T is not believed the disturbance
will reach below the chiefs of division
and superintendent in the branches
of the department, although by some
the postnlaster-generars meaning is
taken to be that he will not hesitate
even at the clerical grades if he feels
the service can be improved and made
more efficient.
"The legislative, executive and judi
cial appropriation bill passed August
%, 1912, contains a clause which
reads as follows:
THAT no person in the classified
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1913-05-17

nor any trial or hearing snail be re-
quired except in the discretion of the
officer making the removal; and cop
les of charges, notice of hearing,
answer, reason for removal and of
the order of removal shall be made a
part of the records of the proper de-
partment or Office, as shall also the
reasons for reduction in rank or COM
pensation, and copies of the same
shall be furnished to the person af-
fected upon request and the civil SER
vice commission shall, upon request,
be furnished copies of the same
1T is said Mr.. Burleson is proceed
ing carefully in what he does and
that he is in close touch with Civil
Service Commissioner McIlhenny
Each of the bureaus and divisions of
the department will be investigated,
probably under the postmaster-gener-
ais original decision to take sur
yey of the conditions in the depart
ment, and upon the reports of such
Investigations, it is said, will depend
the action to be taken by the post
maSter-general."

service of the United States shall be
removed therefrom, except for such
cause that will promote the efficiency
of said service, and for reasons given
in writing, and the person whose re-
moval is sought shall have notice of
the same and of any charges pre-
ferred against higl and be furnished
with copy thereof, and also be al
lowed a reasonable time for person
ally answering the same in writing
and affidayits in support thereof.
No construction, it is said, has
vet been put upon this new law by
any court or legal officer of the Unit
ed States. There seems to be an opin-
ion tnat if the law is disregarded or
evaded the appeal will be up to the
civil service commission. But as to
that there is no certainty as yet.
