RENSSELAER, INDIANA, THURSDAY, JULY «, 1911.

OCEAN TO OCEAN TOURISTS PASS THROUGH RENSSELAER.

Forty Philadelphia Motor Tourists in Twelve Cars Complete Their First Miles Today. Twelve automobiles, containing about forty passengers, passed through Rensselaer this, Thursday, morning at 10:30, on an ocean to ocean trip covering 4,000 miles. The party will reach Chicago this afternoon, completing the first thousand miles of their journey. Carrying flags presented by President Taft, U. S. Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania; U. S. Senator O’Gorman, of New York, and Mayor Reyburn, of Philadelphia, and bearing “Good Roads” messages to be relayed to the Governors of thirteen states, twelve wealthy motorists, driving their own cars, started on a 4000-mile transcontinental tour from Atlantic City'on Monday, June 26. To give a literal significance to their slogan, “Ocean to Ocean,” the cars made the actual start with their rear wheels lapped waves of the Atlantic Ocean. Before they reach the terminus of the run, at Los Angeles, Cal., the front wheels will have been washed by the waters of the Pacific Ocean at Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. The cars left Indianapolis Wednesday and the party stopped over night in Lafayette. They will be met before reaching Chicago by motorists from that city and entertained there tonight with a reception and theatre party. Friday night they will be in Clinton, 10wa.7 Sb6rtly~'atte?‘ Ibavifig Clinton, the tourists will strike the renowned “River to River Road,’.’ made through the concerted efforts of lowa farmers in 1910. By a plan, each farmer between the Mississippi and the Missouri rivers improved the roadway facing his own property and thus solved the “good roads” problem in that section in an effective way. This road will take the party through Des Moines and Council Bluffs to Omaha, Neb. At the latter city another three-days’ stop will be made. As the hotel accommodations are unsatisfactory after leaving Omaha, the tourists wifi resort to their camping equipment and will establish a tented village with their fifteen 7 by 7 tents and five 14 by 14 tents, of the regular U. S. Army equipment. Following the practice of the early pioneers along Western trails, Chinese cooks will be pressed into service in the culinary department. In lieu of the crude wood fire, however, the tour - ists will resort to the more modern gasoline stove, and Prestolite tanks will take the place of candles used in days gone by. This modernizing of ancient methods will be still further exemplified by the recourse of the sixty horse-power motor truck with prairie schooner top for carrying the baggage and outfits, instead of the oldtime picturesque mule team. The camping practice will be continued from this point virtually to the end of the journey. Week-end stops, however, will be made at Denver, Salt Lake City, Reno and San Francisco. After completing the ocean-to-ocean voyage at the Golden Gate Park, the tourists will continue south along the coast, camping at Salinas and Pasca Robles and stopping overnight at Santa Barbara before arriving at the terminus in Los Angeles. The following is a list of the party: Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Monihan, John G. Monihan, Jr., George A Parker, Mr. and Mrs. George C. Allen, John Allen, C. T. A Loder, F. L. Howard Weatherly, Hazzard Lippincott, Charles E Lex, Jr., of Philadelphia; Mr. and Mrs N. E. Sprague, Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Horton, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Murphy, Countess DeCalatrava, John Matthew, F. A. Moller, L. J. Moller, W. Sherman Rose, of New York; Mr. and Mrs. Hugh F. Cook, Newark, N J.; Mr. and Mrs. P. W. Balser, Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Root, Landisville; Dr. Edward Dewse?. Erie; Ray F. McNamara, and A. J. Wolf, of Indianapolis. ' Lafayette, which is also suffering from a scarcity of water, has adopted a plan to do away with the waste of water, that might be effective in Rensselaer. The practice of sprinkling lawns and the streets with hose has been prohibited during the shortage. Anyone violating the order will have his supply of water shut off, and the water will not be turned on again until the offender installs a water meter at his own expense, when it is presumed he will be allowed -to use all the water he is willing to pay for.

Maine Wrecked by Explosion Of Three of Her Magazines,

Washington, July s—The5 —The loss of the battleship Maine was caused by the explosion of her three magazines. No such effect as that producecTupdn the vessel could have been caused by an explosion from without. Such is the opinion of General Wm. H. Bixby, one of the engineers, U. S. A., who has returned after a personal inspection of the work of raising the Maine. General Bixby said tonight that a portion of the deck over the magazines was blown upward and laid backward and that there were numerous conditions of the hulk as-it lies in Havana harbor which proved this. No explosion from the outside, said the general, could have caused the same result. “What the primary cause of the explosion was,” said General Bixby, “never could be learned.” General Bixby does not believe thadthe bodies of those who lost their lives will be found on the Maine. 'He says they are probably buried two hundred feet or more from the wreck in the mud. While inspecting the work General Bixby prodded around the-how of the vessel. He found by his soundings that at least two-thirds of the bow was absolutely wrecked. The sides had been practically bl.own away and were buried in the mud. This, he said, showed conclusively that the wreck of the Maine, was caused by an explosion within the vessel.

Pinkerton Detectives Probe Into the Larsen Case.

The noted Pinkerton detective agency has been called upon by relatives and friends of the late Peter Larsen to unravel the mystery of his horrible death. Detectives Winn and William F. Gussy, of Chicago, arrived at Fowler Wednesday and began a systematic investigation into the circumstances of the death of the kindly Dane, whose body was found in the cisfern at his home a‘week ago last Friday under conditions that pointed to. murder. The detectives refused to make any statement Wednesday night, but stated that they would have something to say Thursday, just what, it can only be conjectured. At tbe same time the Pinkerton men arrived, the Benton county grand jury resumed its inquiry intiPthe death of Larsen, after taking a week’s recess for any accumulation of further evidence. Fifteen witnesses were examined Wednesday, some being witnesses who had been examined before and two or three being strangers. It is thought that they were from Chicago and that the grand jury Is trying to find out something of Mrs. Larsen’s past history. The grand jury examination will be continued Thursday and it is expected that Mrs. Larsen will be called upon to tell what she knows of the death of her husband, who was found dead shortly after they had quarrelel violently. Mrs. Larsen is still living at the Larsen homestead in Fowler and is still said to be suffering from nervous prostration. The trend of the evidence brought before the grand jury is unknown, but there is much specualtlon as to what the outcome will be. Many believe that there will be no indictment, but a large number think that damaging evidence has been uncovered and that
