TO TOUR WORLD IN
TH|RIy-F|VE DAYS
TALL YOUNG MAN STARTS OUT TO
OUT-vERNE VERNE BY LESS
THAN HALF THE TIME.
NEW YORK, July 2 "wednesday

NEW YORK, July "wednesday.
Early this morning, while all except
the cabaretgoers of this town were
sleeping peacefully. a tall young man
started out from the Office of The
Evening Sun to do stunt that 90
years ago was beyond the most radical
dreams of romances,
The plan Is to circle the globe in
thirty-fve, days. less than half the
time which was thought ridiculously
short when Jules Verne was writing
Around the World in Eighty Days"
and almost five days faster than 1t has
ever been done.
John Henry Mears, a traveller of ex-
perience, is the man commissioned by
the newspaper to show the world just
how far speed in travelling has prog
itinerary, which barring unforeseen
accident. should bring him back to
New York August 9Th.
Mr.. Mears will travel light and he
will travel fast. He believes that the
route he will follow and the trains and
steamers he will take are the fastest in
the world.
At times connections will hang by
few short hours and If he Is de-
layed long enough to miss his con-
nections his record breaking trip will
be ruined. In Yokohama, if all his
previous trains and steamers allow
him to get there on time. he will have
a wait of seven and one-half hours for
a steamer which will take him back
to Vancouver, back 20 the land where
train and steamer connections are
more kind. but If he loses connections
across Europe and Asia, so that II he
misses that steamer, he will have to
wait two weeks for another.
The start was made at 12:45 this
morning. He was whizzed from the
Sun building to the Cunard line pier
at Fourteenth street. Fourteen min
utes was allowed for the trip, which
gave Mr.. Mears Just one minute to
jump out of the machine, grab his
suit case and sprint up the gangway
before the lines were cast off and the
great liner started for London.

CURRENCY REFORM
CAUCUS DECIDES NOT TO SUP
PORT BILL BECAUSE NOT AL
LOWED HAND IN FRAMING.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The hopes
OF President Wilson and his advisers
for securing the partisan. sup
port of all parties in congress for the
administration currency bill. went
glimmering today. when the Repub-
lican members of the house commit
tee on banking and currency adopted
resolution expressing their disap-
prevail of the methods employed by
the Democrats In drafting and con-
sidering this important measure. The
Republicans requested that all MEM
hers of the committee be invited to
attend meetings for considering the
measure. and intimated strongly that
the Democrats need look for no sup
port form them for the measure to
be reported out unless they had a
share in it's preparation.
The adoption of this resolution was
the first formal expression of the
dissatisfaction of the Republican
members of the committee. and of
Republicans in the house generally,
from being excluded from participa-
ton In the preparation of the meas
ure. which they had all along con-
tended should be drawn without re-
gard for partsanship. Since the
special session met frequent state
ments had been heard from Repub-
leans that they desired to see the cur
rcncy laws revised on a scientific basis
10y a bill which they could join the
Democrats in supporting. These Re-
publicans pointed out that their ma
ticnal platform. as we'll as that of the
Democratic party. had pledged them
to currency reform. They felt, how
ever, that they should not have to
wait until the measure ia reported to
the house to have their first glimpse
OF the bill. which they will be asked
to support on nonpartisan grounds.
Todays resolution was drawn, for the
sole purpose OF serving notice on the
Democrats that If they wish the sup
port of the Republicans for the adj
niinistration currency program they
must adopt new methods for deal
ings with the measure In committee.

OFFICER Of NAVY
MAKES COMPLAINT
INQUIRIES AS TO CIRCUMSTANCES
OF TWO MEN HELD IN THE
COUNTY JAIL.

Complaint was received yesterday
by Mayor Ainslie from Lieutenant w.
w. Bradley, L. 8. N, commander OF
the Bagley, stationed at the Norfolk
navy yard. about the treatment Of two
sailors--F. l.. Sockwell and o. E.
Adams--who were arrested here and
held until they had overstayed their
leave and had been declared desert
ers.
Mayor Ainslie replied. telling Lieu
tenant Bradley that the Richmond
police had nothing to do with the
case, that the men had been arrested
by special officers of the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad and held by them.
1t seems that the men left their ship
on June 10th, were arrested here and
held until June 27th. according to
the story, without trial, and were
then returned to their ship as de-
been offered for the return Of each.
This seemed to Lieutenant Bradley
as II the officers were capitalizing
their positions in order to obtain re-
wards for delivery. He said that he
would not give the rewards until
he had been assured that the story
of the sailors was not true.
1t was stated by L. L. Scherer claim
agent of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway company, IHdt the IIcIi wei Q
ARRESTED under assumed names on a
charge of beating their way from Nor
folk to Richmond on a freight train.
AS several robberies had been report
ed in the Fulton yards Of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railway. they were de-
tanned on suspicion. and, after the pre-
liminary hearing. were held ten days
as suspicious characters. 1t was
through another prisoner, in whom
the sailors are alleged to have con-
fided, that 1t was discovered they were
sailors. and an inquiry was sent to the
naval authorities. The reply was that
they were deserters, and they were
taken back to Norfolk, where they had
left their ship. Mr.. Scherer said that
they would have been allowed to COM
municate with their commanding Of
ffcer had they expressed desire to do
so, but that instead. they were en-
deavoring TO conceal their identity.
Mayor Ainslie referred Lieutenant
Bradley to Sheriff Kemp, OF Henrico
county, or L. l.. Scherer. Of the Ches-
apeake ana Ohio. 1t Is indicated by
the letter OF Lieutenant Bradley that
he will make a thorough investiga-
ton Of the affair, and that II he is
satisfied that the men were not al
lowed to stand trial or to communi-
cate with him he will refuse to pay
out the rewards offered for their re-
turn.
