Report Goes to Mediators.

The report was sent at once to Sec
rotary Bryan for transmission to the
South American peace mediators. De-
partment officials were confident that
the explanation would make it plain
that there had been no violation of the
armistice and that the commander of the
Dixie had done only what was necessary
10 insure the safety of shipping.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt said
the Dixie and the destroyers went TO
Lobos Island only because it was a con
venient place to coal. and that the
lighthouse keepers evidently quit their
posts i'll a panic at the appearance of
American ships. The lighthouse at
this point, he added. was essential TO
safe navigation, and when il was de-
serted by its keepers il became the
duty of the Dixie's crew to keep il in
operation.
The incident was the subject Of gen
eral conference at the Department to-
day. Secretary Daniels and his ad
vtsers took M the problem of closed
lighthouses on the west coast of
Mexico. Some naval officers favor the
occupation and operation of all the
abandoned lights along the coast.

First Annual Event of the Washing
ton Automobile As
ISOLATION.
Feature of the Outing Is the Large
Number of Woman Drivers Who
Piloted Cars.

The first annual sociability run of the
Washington Automobile Dealers Associa-
ton is taking place today, under favor
able weather conditions. More than six
ty cars lined up at the starting point. 9Th
street and Missouri avenue northwest OPP
posite the site of the old Pennsylvania
railroad station depot.
At 11:30 o'clock Starter William Jose
and Assistant Starter Howard S. Fisk
sent the first car off. From that time on
the cars We're sent away at half-minute
intervals, and shortly after noon the last
car was on its way. remnants We're dis
tributed to the contestants, who decorated
their cars before the start. The Judges
at the start were r. Bruce Emerson.
Arthur Foraker, Gardner P. Orme and
Frank G. Stewart.
The route was north on 9Th street to
Pennsylvania avenue and east on Pennsyl-
vania avenue to the Capitol Swinging
around the east front of the Capitol, the
cars proceeded up Pennsylvania avenue
to the rear of the White House and back
into the Avenue again by the War De-

figuring up the time of each of the en-

Sealed Time contest.
The affair was a sealed time contest.
Vice President Marshall last week set
the official time for the eleven-mile run,
according to the speed regulations. Each
contestant was sent away with the idea
in view that he would set his own pace
and cover the distance in the time that
he thought that it should be run under the
speed regulations.
The contestant finishing nearest to the
sealed time will be presented with the
Foraker trophy, donated by Arthur For
aker The woman driver finishing first
will be awarded the silver loving cup do
mated by Gardner P. Orme. Both cups
were taken along and will be awarded at
the conclusion Of the run, after the run
ming time of the various contestants has
been figured out
A feature of the event was the large
number of woman drivers who piloted
cars. The run today will be followed a
little later on by a hill climb. At the
conclusion of the run the participants
enjoyed luncheon at the bridge. Many
of those who took part in the run spent
the remainder of the afternoon enjoying
the cool shade in the vicinity of the his
toric Cabin John Bridge.

"Logic of Middle Ages"
Representative Bailey of Pennsylvania
placed Representative Johnson and Rep

ages with the alchemists and seekers
for the philosophers stone? He did so
in these words:
The logic of the Johnson Prouty prop
osition is the logic of the middle ages.
1t harks back to remote past. 1t flies
in the face of the best thought of the day
on taxation. In my own great state of
Pennsylvania we are steadily drawing

forty years We have practically exempted
personal property from taxation. Manu-

MAY Answer Huerta Protest.

General belief was expressed that this
explanation would amply answer Huerta' s
protest that the United States, by Selling
the island had violated the armstice
and would make it plain that the Dixie's
commander acted only to insure protec-
ton to shipping by maintenance of the
Lobos light.
Disposition of the cases of the South
Americans arrested for snipinS at Vera
cruz had been halted pending word from
the ministers of their respective coun-
tries When it became known that Gen.
Funston proposed to try the men before
a military court-martial the Brazilian
minister in Mexico City appealed for
them. Secretary Garrison decided to
postpone action on that, pointing out
that properly it should have been made

she had on board arms and ammunition

Are Thrown Into Panic,

AS penalty for conviction by court
martial would be death. Latin Ameri-
can diplomatic representatives in Mexi-
co Citywere thrown into panic. and
induced the Brazilian minister to inter-
vene, reasoning that because the min
ister had assumed responsibility for the
lives and property of Americans in
Mexico these representations might
have greater weight
The subject, il was pointed out might
prove embarrassing for the reason that
the case involves the right of Gen
Funston to try any person for his life
before a military commission in time Of
peace. and the administration has not
conceded the existence of a state of
war

BRYAN Confers With ENJOYS.

Secretary Bryan called at the ArSen-
tine legation last evening and spent two
hours in conference with the South
American ENJOYS. discussing the con-
tinued detention of Silliman.
Mr. Bryan then insisted that the re-
lease of Silliman must be brought about
at once When asked about the matter
later he would not say what would
happen IL the vice consul was kept
In prison. but he was gravely emphatic
IN announcing the government deter
mination 10 have him freed.
First official news OF the landing OF
American sailors on 1sohos Island reached
the Navy Department when Rear Ad-
miral Mayo cabled that the Mexican
keepers deserted the great lighthouse on
the island and that the destroyer tender
Dixie was maintaining it for the benefit
of navigation
The Iobos Island incident was taken up
by Secretary Daniels soon after his re-
turn from the memorial ceremonies In
New York. He had before him this re-
port from Rear Admiral Mayo at Tam
pico:
"Lnbos Island has not been occupied
The Dixie and some destroyers anchored
there and other vessels have coalcd
there from a collier. The keepers of
IIobos Island light deserted il and the

GERMANY'S COAST
DEFENSE IS CONSIDERED
THE BEST IN EUROPE

Military experts say that the Ger
man coast defense is better
equipped than that of any other
country in Europe. There are about
200 miles of coast line on the North
Sea and something like 60 miles on
the Baltic Sea, The great range of
German batteries and the broken in
shore of the North Sea will help Ger
many to prevent any great on
slaught from that source. Along
the coast line of the Baltic Sea are
German batteries of great strength
and range, and these Notifications
will doubtless prevent any enemy
from making Roadway.
