EVEN THOUSAND MILE
VOYAGE IS MADE BY TUG
Mistaken a Dozen Times For Sub
marine In Trip Across
Atlantic.

New York.-A remarkable sea voy-
,re of 1000 miles, from Dordrecht.
Holland, to Tampico, Mexico, in tug
boat but sixty feet in length, with a
draft Of three feet, has just been COM
Uleted by a crew of men under the
leadership of Captain 81. Waltaker.
Csptain Waltaker and his crew, of
whom one was E. NJ. Eden, a young
artist Of Amsterdam, who made the
trip to satisfy longing for adventure,
started home on the steamship Nieuw
amsterdam.
The voyage required eighty-four days
time and was made doubly hazardous
By the fact that the tug could carry
ub twenty-seven tons Of coal. Ere
@ent attempts to stop passing vessels
b rplenish the bunkers failed. Each
tine the presence of the small boat in
The path Of steamship would send the
vessel zigzagging away in the belief
that the tug might be a disguised sub
marine.
I'VE were taken for a submarine a
dozen times during the trip" said Mr..
Eden, "and each time the vessel took
to fight and we could not catch her,
although we were badly in need Of
coal and provisions"
The tug was the Fuerta, built by the
Corona Oil company in its shipyards
MIDLAND for use in towing Oil barges
n the Panuco river. In ordinary cir
nnStances the tug would have been
taDspOrted dashed to a ships deck, but
he freight rate demanded was deemed
EOrbitant, and Captain Waltaker was
selected to make the voyage with the

John Adams Was q Poor Loser.
John Adams. second president Of the
United Staees, was not a good loser.
He wanted another term and worked
hard for it None of the candidates
received q majority Of the electoral
votes, and the election was thrown into
the house Of Representatives. But Ad-
ans had no chance there, for he was
third In the race, and only the two
having the highest number OF electoral
votes could be voted for. Thus the
choice lay between Jefferson and Burr,
and Jefferson won. Adams was very
much disgruntled and did everything
In his power to make things unpleas-
ant for his successor. He filled every
vacant Office he could lay his hands on,
so as to leave as little patronage as
possible for Jefferson. Not only so.
but in the closing hours Of his admin
istration he and his party associates

Old Man on Way to English Workhouss
Tells of IL.
Corning, Cal.-Mrs. T. L. Barkle OF
Newlyn, England, in a letter to her
son, the Rev. T. j. Barkle Of this city,
states an old man named Kempe, who
came from California less than dozen
years ago, was found on the verge of
starvation and taken to the workhouse.
Among the old mans effects was found
nearly 5000. This was all made in
California, and on the way to the
workhouse Kempe said he had buried
about $1,000 in California in a hole
five feet deep, but never could find it.
Little is known of Kempe except that
he was a miner in California and re-
turned to England eleven or twelve
years ago.
Somewhere in the mining district of

ALIENS TO Leave
That May Happen at End of
Great War.
ALL AVAILABLE LAND GONE.
Commissioner of immigration Howe
Predicts That United States Will Be-
come an Emigrant Rather Than an
Immigrant Nation at the End of Hos
Utilities In Europe.

Immigrant Nation at the End of Hos
Utilities In Europe.
New York. A prediction that the
United States would become an "emi-
grant" rather than an Immigrant" ma
ton at the close Of the war was made
by Commissioner Of immigration Fred
eric G. Howe at the Sunday evening
forum Of the Free synagogue.
Mr.. Howe took the stand that immi-
grafton was purely an economic ques-
ton and declared that 1t had been
such from the beginning. He said that
those who opposed immigration did so
because they desired to limit the COM
petition of unskilled foreign labor;
those who favored the wide open door
did so because it made labor cheap.
He said the immigrant no longer
went to the farm because all the avail
able land of the country had been tax
en- up, hundreds of millions of acres
being held for purely speculative pur-
poses.
1.-THE immigration problem never ex-
listed so long as the land was free for
the asking" said Mr.. Howe, land it IS
this scarceness Of land which makes
immigration an economic question.
at is a matter Of freeing labor on
one hand from the competition of the
incoming labor groups from Europe
and of inSuring to the immigrant an
opportunity to work for himself rather
than for an employer interested in Sc
curing his services at the lowest pos
sible cost.
IL keep more or less in touch with
the centers to which go most of the
men who pass through Ellis island.
am told that everywhere the men now
employed In our shops and factories
who at home worked as farmers are
saving their money to return to the
old country. They have always wished
to own their own farms-they came
here for that purpose-ald they figure
that after the war land will be cheap
In the countries overseas. This senti-
ment, spreading among our workers,
will result in a serious crisis In our
industrial life"
Mr.. Howe also discussed the servant
question. He said that since the war
there had been practically no servant
girls coming to this country and that
many of those who were in service had
left 1t to enter munition factories and
offices, while others had married or
died.
To regulate the tide Of oriental i'm
migration and, in fact to check In some
measure immigration from any land
DR.. Sydney L. Gulick, an authority on
Japan. suggested that, for example, if
a thousand Syrians came to this coun-
try in 1900 and ten years later all had
taken out American citizenship then
another thousand might be admitted
If, however, only 300 had applied for
naturalization papers the decision of
the remaining 700 to still be Syrians
automatically would keep an equal
number of their fellow countrymen in
Syria.

RegimentaI Band Badly in Need of Some One Who Can Play the

According to figures prepared in the office of Adjutant General Harris, there are now 1922 men in the camp of the First Arizona Volunteer h. fantry, now at Douglas.
 Out of all these men, though there is none who can fill position that is vacant, and the vacancy is badly in need of being filled. To be exact, the band of the regiment has no cornetist. Of the two men who were to have ac- companied that organization in that capacity, both managed to get out of going. The band leader badly feels the need of an accomplished cornetist, and is sending anxious inquiries to the office of the adjutant general for a man who can play
 A musician gets better pay than the enlisted men. This alone should be a temptation to musicians out of work
 The fact that the regiment is so well filled up, is a matter of much pleasure to Colonel Harris. The regiment is now about 800 men short of it's required war strength. According to advfces re- ceived here, there is not d regular or militia regiment on the whole border, with as many men as the Arizona or ganization. The Texas militia is about 2,000 men short of it's quota, and ac- cording to reports received here, they are on the verge of taking drastic measures to fill up their ranks
 Only two companies now remain to be mustered into the federal service. Of these two, one has been ready. with the required number of men, since
