COMING OF GLIDDEN TOUR
IS HAILED WITH ACCLAIM
The news that the Glidden tour wiU use The Journal - Herald
highway this year, sent out all over the country by the Associated Press, is.
little short of startling in some quarters, and is welcome nowhere more than
it is in the south. The fact that a radical departure will be made from what
have grown to be considered the essential features of the Glidden—lts rigid,
technical rules—ls by no means a minor factor in astonishing motor circles.
The despatch from New York is being read all along the highway. Thurs
day from New York to Jacksonville. It is the interesting topic of the day in
every town and city which that highway traverses, and in all the country con
tiguous to it.
No other tour win be held upon the highway this year. The.Glidden will
supplant any other plans that m|ght have been formulated. By the Glidden,
the extended highway will be dedicated from Atlanta on south to Jacksonville.
The older section, that between Atlanta and New York, has already been defi
nitely established by two tours run under the direction of The Journal and the
New York Herald. The first of those was run in the fall of 19W, when the high
way was designated, and started at New York, finishing in Atanta. The second
was run tn the spring of 19ip. from Atlanta to New York. *
Because it is the classic among automobile contests, the running of the
Glidden is a national event. Even more than that. It is international. Its plans,
its start. Its course, and its finish and results, are the subject of daily news
in every paper of the United States. This consideration emphasises the bigness
of the announcement from New York. The running of the Glidden down the na
tional highway will establish that highway more definitely In the minds of the
whole world than it could ever have been established by the joint efforts of
The Journal and the New York Herald working alone.
Along the Jacksonville extension, particularly, the news of the coming
of the tour will be received with acclaim. No more signal recognition could
have been given that extension that is now assured.
Road work that has been progressing steadily since the scouts of the
highway extension finished their work some three months ago, will now be
redoubled in energy. Florida’s part of the road is in the process of building
from the rough. It ie beginning to take shape. But it is not yet by any
means the kind of road that the Florida counties are willing to have repre
sent their state before the tourists (and the great majority of them will be
private owners) who will come that way with the Glidden. Therefore, a trans
formation surpassing any work that has yet been accomplished is to be ex
pected between this date and the time when the Giidden*tourists take to the
road. Duval county, in which is situated Jacksonville, hearing some rumor
of the Glidden tour running the highway, ha ß already knocked the lid off of
all deay in the highway work of that county and has gotten down to brass
tacks for quick results
The first American Automobile association tour was run in x 1904, two
years after organization of that body, and reached from Boston and New
York to St. Louts the distance being 1.318 miles from New York. The 1805
tour started and finished In New Yoi k, its itinerary including Hartford, Brot
ton Woods Concord and Worcester. It was for this run that Charles J. Glid
den first offered his trophy, which was awarded io Percy P. Pierce, driving
a Pierce car. the distance being 871 miles. The 1906 started at Buffalo, and
ran around through Canada and back down through Maine to Bretton
Woods. 1,185 miles. The Glidden trophy was again awarded to Percy P.
Pierce. The 1907 tour started out of Cleveland, ran west to Chicago, then
east to Baltimirs, and then to New York. L 570 miles The 1908 tour started
at Buffalo, ran south to Pittsburg, east to Philadelphia, rysrth to Albany, east
to Boston, north to the White mountains and south to Saratoga. 1,670
mile*. The 1909 tour started from Detroit, ran west to Chicago, north to
Minneapolis, south to Council Bluffs west to Denver, east to Kansas City,
2,837 miles The 1910 tour was run from Cincinnati through Louisville.
Nashvils Memphis Little Rock, Dallas, Oklahoma City, Kansas City. Omaha
Des Moines to Chicago, 2,151 miles. It was 17 days in the running. That
was the longest of them all. and was the first time that the tour entered
either the south or the southwest.
The greatest good, probably, has been accomplished by the Glidden tours
in developing the perfection of the automobile. Heretofore the tours have
been grueling In their severity. They have emphasized the weak points in
automobile construction and have resulted in their correction.
None of the tours hag been laid out with any special consideration as to
where the beet roads lay. Each has been routed regardless of road; and some
of them have traveled fearful roads.
None has ever before reflected the missionary spirit of good roads. They
have heretofore excluded every consideration save the development of the au
tomobile. None has ever before encouraged participation by any but automo
bile manufacturers who were willing and able to sacrifice their cars on the
altar of progress.
But the 1911 tour embodies both those essentials. It will travel—the eyes
of the world following—along the national pike that la now nearing com
pletion under the name of The Journal-Herald national highway and is designed
a good roads demonstration to every county that it runs through. And It
will be governed by the rules of grade IV, which are the same as both Jour
nal-Herald tours have been run under. -The bars of technicality have been lower
ed. and the tour is open to individual owners and everybody else alike. It
will be a pleasure tour, without the sacrifice of car or comfort upon" the part
of any contestant.

NEW YORK. Aug. 3.—The con
test board of the American Auto
mobile association through M. But
ler and A. G. Batcheldar, furnish
ed the following statement Wed
nesday Evening:
The Glidden tour of 1911 will
take place in October and be run
over the route of the National
highway, extending from New
York to Jacksonville, via Atlanta.
Returning to the original idea
of the donor of the trophy, the
tour, appealing particularly to
owners, will be conducted under
regulations 1 demanding reliability
and regularity, without reference
to rigid technical restrictions.
OWNERS WANTED TOUR.
It having been made plainly ap
parent that an endurance tour for
the Glidden trophy promoted pri
marily for owners was generally
wanted, and it likewise having
been made clear that the makers
of automobiies were no longer in
terested in an exceedingly techni
cal contest, the contest board of
the American Automobile associa-
I ioa announces the new plan for
the national tour, whibh is sure to
pronoi. -»d success, the de
cision haying been preceded by a
conference with a delegation f: n
Jie south which brought assur
ances of -«>rons support.
From the Atlanta Chamber of
Commerce and the Jacksonville
Board of Trade came representa
tives who were prepared to nego
tiate a definite proposition. The A.
A. A. conferees present were Presi
dent Robert P. Hooper, Chairman
Butler of the contest,board, and
Chairman Batcheldar of the exe
j cutive committee. Atlanta was
represented by Edwin P. Ansley
and Maj. John S. Cohen, who are
i two of the most energetic expon
ents of highway improvement in
the entire south. H. B. Race, an
other good roads advocate, spoke
I for Jacksonville.
IMPETUS TO GOOD ROADS..
In fact, it was the impetus
which would be given to good:
roads progress in the south that
caused the change to a southern
route.
The 1911 tour will be conducted
under erade IV. of the A. A. A.
reliability rules with practicable
daily running schedules, possible
of accomplishment by any tourist.
The cars will be stamped in
their essential parts. There will
be no observers, and the penalty
assessed will be for lateness at
controls. A nominal entry fee of
$25 will be charged, and present
indications point to a large entry
list of individual owners.
A S2OO cash prize will be offered
for the best nerformance in each
of the seven price divisions.
Any owner of a Lock car will
be eligible to enter.

PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, Aug. 3.
Haiti today is without a president or
organized government. The capitol of
the negro republic is occupied by two
rival revolutionary parties headed re
spectively by Cinclnnatus Leconte, a
former minister of the interior, and An
tenor Firmin, who deserted his post as
Haitian minister to Great Britain to
join the revolt against President Simon.
A committee of public safety, oom
posed equally of Flrminists, Leconteists
and neutrals, has been organized
through the initiative of the diplomatic
corps and is maintaining public order.
German add British marines have
been landed to aid the provisional au
thorities. During the night there were
attempts to pillage and it was necessary
to shoot several of the looters. Ener
getic measures prevented any serious
outbreak.
Antoine Simon, the deposed president,
who was compelled to withdraw from
th* city yesterday, was still today on
board the American schooner Bradford
C. French, which is anchored in the
harbor under the protection of the guns
of the American cruiser Chester. Si
mon awaits the arrival of a fruit steam
er for Kingston, Jamaica.
His boarding of the schooner yester
day afternoon was due to a misunder
standing. He wished to |gd ahead nie
American cruiser Chester, but was di
rected by the American officers to the
American cruiser Des Moines, the senior
ship. Simon, failing to understand, wen.
aboard the schooner. The craft moved
off into the roadstead to where the
Haitine warship “17 Decembre” was an
hored. Late last night the schooner
moved over close to the Chester and a
guard was sent from the cruiser on
board the schooner to protect her and
Simon.
Following the debarkation of Simon
late yesterday there was an attempt to
pillage the business bouse of Makhlouff
& Co., the proprietors of which are
Syrians. The attempt was put down
by force under the direction of ’ the
committee of public safety. Four oi
the rioters were shot nn the spot.
Some of the soldiers also refused to
lay down their arms under orders and
there were occasional conflicts between
the soldiers and civilians. It is esti
mated 40 persons were killed during the
occupation of the city by the revolu
tionists and in the subsequent rioting.
At 10 o’clock last night a band of
armed men made an attack upon the
custom house and also attempted to
raid some nearby houses.
TTte attack was met by a force of po
lice and soldiers. Six of the pillagers
were shot. This put an end to this out
break.

NEW HARMONY SOUNDED BY
SIGNING OF PEACE PACTS
(By A»*oci»ted Preu.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—Three of the
world’s greatest nations, with the United
States as the central figure and moving
spirit, join hands today tn opening the
way to the coveted goal of statesmen of
modern times—universal peace. Before
the day is closed America and Gerat
Britain and America and France will
have signed general arbitration treaties
for the peaceful settlement of all dis
putes that may be locked in the mystery
of the future, even though they con

of the signators, subjects Invariably ex
cepted in existing arbitration treaties.

QUICK ra TO TEACHERS
If THESE BILLS PISS
Two constitutional amendments are
pending before the house which will, if
enacted, put an end to all the troubles
Georgia has had in paying teachers’ sal
aries.
Both amendments are in line with rec
ommendations mads by Gov. Hoke Smith
in his special message. Both vitally, ef
fect the finances of the state and the wel
fare of the teachers, and their passage
at this session of the assembly is earn
estly hoped for.
One amendment enlarges the borrowing
power of the governor, and has already
been reported favorably.- The other ad
vances the time for paying taxes by the
public service companies, and_is still
in the hands of a sub-eommittee of the
constitutional amendment committee.
These two measures, if passed, will put
it within the power of the governor to
easily meet the bills of the teachers as
they fall due.
Every .time Governor Smith appoints a
city bank as a state depository, he
makes the condition that they shall agree
to let the state have money, if it wants
to borrow, at the rate of 2 per cent,
the same rate, of interest they pay the
state ors the state’s deposits.
By following this course in reference
to banks in the cities of Georgia, the
state will be easily able to borrow all
the money it needs in July and August,
and the money coming in from public
service and railroad taxes under the
constitutional amendment making this
money payable September 1, would keep
the finances of the state in good shape
throughout the year, and would enable
the state to meet the claims of the
teachers promptly, as they mature.
The banks which have been made state
depositories by Governor Smith have
agreed to lend the state money at 3

PARIS, Aug. 3.—TJie Franco-Ameri
can arbitration treaty was signed at
2:08 o'clock this afternoon.
Paris Is Jubilant at
Signing of Treaties
PARTS, Aug. 3.—The signing of the
treaty is hailed in France as meaning
the extension of a movement in all
countries for the reduction of arma
ments and the absolute prevention of
wars. The general view is that a tre
mendous impetus has been given to
the world widfe* peace campaign.
The Figaro, in a long study of the sit-'
uation resulting,*declares that if other
nations do not join the movement those
who have pledged for arbitration should
adopt the principle of boycotting by in
serting » clause in the international
agreements providing that they shall
suspend all relations of commerce,
transportation and postal intercourse
with any country warring upon one or
the signers. For example, the paper
says that If the United States, France
and Great Britain should boycott Ger
many by refusing all relations with her,
the action would be certain to cause
the confusion and ruin' of that nation.
"By boycotting,” the Figaro adds,
“we will obtain obligatory arbitration
and then the limitation of armaments.-
The Matin says:
“Public opinion will note with lively
satisfaction the new and intimate bond
and board between Fran(*e and the great
and generous people of the United
States who have not ceased to exhibit
the warmest and most sincere friend
ship as a souvenir of the aid which we
gave 135 years ago. at the moment of
America's emancipation.”
SIXTY HOURS PER WEEK
TO LIBOR IN COTTON MILLS
\
Following a public meeting at which
nearly a score spoke in regard to the pro
posed new labor laws, the general judi
ciary committee of the senate Wednes
day afternoon went into executive ses
sion and reported adversely on the Tar
ver house bill, which called for 10
hours’ a day labor in cotton and woolen
mills and recommended that th ebill of
Senator W. T. Roberts, of the 26th, pro
viding for 60 hours a week labor, do pass.
Vice Chairman J. E. Sheppard, of the
13th, presided over the meeting.
The house bill of Mr. Tarver of Whit
field, set the number of working hours in
cotton and woolen mills at 10 hours
a day, and prohibited employes from
working overtime.
Senator Roberts’ bill specifies 60 hours
as the number of working hours per
week and allows employes the privilege
of working overtime so that they may
put in enough extra hours to have a half
holiday each Saturday.
Mr. Tarver and others championed the
house bill. Ex-Senator Hand of Deca
tur county, H. A. Matthews, Earl Don
aldson of Bainbridge, and others spoke
in favor of the Roberts measure. A
number of mill men and mill operatives
also asked that the Roberts bill be fa
vorably reported.

as they remain state depositories, so that
the amendments above outlined will not

without delay.
SENSATION SPRUNG
IN FILIBUSTER OVER
THE WINS Hill
Statement of Representative
Lovejoy Brought Members'
Rules Cdmmittee to Their
Feet in Hot Denials
After a three hours’ filibuster by the
opposition, toward the end of which Mr.
Lovejoy, of Troup, said that the rules
committee was “predominated by the
liquor men,” prohibitionists in the house
triumphed Thursday morning by securing
the second reading of the Tippins ntiar
beer bill, which provides that no beverage
shall be manufactured or sold in Geor
gia which contains more than 1-2 of 1 per
£ent of eUcohol.
The sensational statement in regard to
the rules committee occurred toward the
close of the session. While Mr. Harde
man of Jefferson was replying to Mr.
Alexander of DeKalb, Mr. Lovejoy of
Trqup rose and asked him this direct
question:
“Don't you know that the rules com
mittee, which is predominated by tho
liquor men, can recommend enough spe
cial order* to prevent this bill trot*
ever coming up for passage?" , I
Mr. Hardeman, Mr. Hall of Bibb, Mr.
White of Screven and Mr. Slade of lias
cogee, all of whom are members of the
rules committee, replied to him, denying . ■
in strong words that there is any Hquor i
predomination in the committee.
Mr. Lovejoy said after the house ad
journed that his meaning was that most!
of the members of the committee ars an
ti-prohibitionists and not that they ara
subservient to liquor Interests.
The only victory of the anti-prohibi
tionists was the adoption of a report of.
the rules committee which sets the Caba
nlss fertilizer bill as a special order for
Friday. Had it not been for the adoption
of this report the Tippins bill wouldl
have come up for passage on Friday and
would undoubtedly have been adopted.
This bill is first on the calendar, after
the measure set as a special order, and
will be taken up next, unless further
special orders are set. j
Unless opponents of the bill filibuster
over the Cablnlss measure, or succeed in
getting other special orders, the Tipping
bill will come up for reading and
final vote on Friday.
Opponents of it, however, are endeavor
ing to delay action on it until the ap
propriations bill can be introduced. Thia
bill will have the right of way, and will
so entirely consume the attention of the
house that after its Introduction the
Tippins bill would have no opportunity
of passing.
There is no possibility, however, of the
appropriationment bill being introduced
before Monday. Having lost their fight ,
to prevent the second reading of the | @
Tippins bill, the effort of opponents of I
the bill will be, ft is thought, to Sefer •* !
consideration of it until after Monday.
A filibuster on Friday on the ,Caba- J
niss bill as a means towards this delay
is expected and other special ordei’s te
prevent bills from being considered in
their natural order on the calendar are
predicted.-—*
The filibuster to prevent the second
reading of the Tippins near-beer bill has
been resumed in the house.
Slowly fanning himself with a palm
leaf fan and speaking with much deliber
ation, Mr. Anderson of Chatham, began
about 10 o'clock to reply to a motion by
Mr. Alexander of DeKalb, to have the
house take up the second reading of all
bills at the end of Thursday's regular
session.
in answer to a question to Mr. Hall of
Bibb, he said he could speak at leant an
hour.
Immediately after the conclusion of the
first 30 of Thursday's session,
which was devoted to unanimous con- $
sent, Mr. Alexander of DeKalb, en- “
deavored to provide for the second read
ing of the Tippins bill by his motion
to have all bills read for the second time
at the end of the session.
