miles praised BY THE GRAND ARMY. The Pacific Completes Trip from San Francisco to New York. Two Months anb( One Day on Journey, Travel-Stained Machine Rushes on IU Final Dash. i A mud-coated automobile, containing two very tired and dusty men. raced down Eighth Avenue laat night and, rounded into West Fifty-ninth Street from the Circle at Just 8:40 o'clock.

The crowd' which had malted its coming- sent up a rousing cheer, and half a dozen escorting machines tooted their whistles to the top Of their ability. Finally the muddy automobile stopped, and the two tired men separated themselves from the dirt cake that seemed almost to mold them and their vehicle into a solid On of them said: -Thank the Lord, its over." It was the trip from the Pacific Coat to the Atlantic by a route approximating 4.000 miles, through -deserts and over mountains. une macnine was twelve- horse power single cylinder model of the Packard Motor Car Company, and the men were Tommy Fetch, the demonstrator at the Packard works, and M. C. Ksrrup, a newspaper man.

The trip had consumed two months and one day gross time, and fifty-one days running time, an fcverere daily run of almost exactly eighty miles, and for actual time had cut a comfortable margin off a transcontinental automobile record claimed recently 'by a Vermont physician after an experiment similar a that completed yesterday. The end of the trip was rather more informal than had been planned. The car had been the Pacific at 5 o'clock, coast time, on June 20. just as it pulled out from San Francisco for its long Jour-tie, the ceremony consisting of running it lirto the waters of the Pacific at Cliff House until Its rear wheels were properly immersed. was intended to run the car down to Conev Island or Man.

tan Beach, there to have its front wheels tiipped in the waters of the Atlantic as Signifying that its Journey was performed. But the rain un-Stata Hitrlne- 'the. last lew days and the miserable condition of the reads had delayed the travelers, and at tfce name time had made them, more picturesque citizens, in their mud-covered cloth-ins, than it they had found easy going on the last stages "of the trip. The delay taused the abandonment of the Coney island rroject, at least tor the present, and )t tie escorting corps to the necessity ot altering its plans for a reception. The welcoming machines met the Pacific lit Tarrytown instead of at the lower end ft the fepeedway in this city, and gave an opportunity for seeing the little' car reel 'U the twelve xniies between Tarrytown and Yor.kers at an eighteen mile an hour lip, on top of the long endurance run.

iv kept the larger and neater escorting machines hustling this side of Yonkera every stretch of road that allowed the pace to be put up. The Pacillc came across the continent aith only a single accident the breaking a front spring, which was replaced ru -route.

Then all hands went back to Tarrvtown tor more photographs and incidentally to allow the tn fair a flHnv Idan mvaw a I of large paving stones, just to show that it was still doing business.

From the Tarrytown square the race for home began, but the Pacific was always in the van. notwithstanding that all the other machines were of not less than six-it en horsepower. Ketch said that the reception given to htm and his companion was generally Ueasanl. and the interest of strangers who had never seen an automobile was klndlv. if somewhat humnrniiiilv iritlal frtr'h wasn't held and the nearest he came to that situation was when a pair of Nebraska farmers threatened to take out the lamily shotgun In defense of the asserted rights to highway.

In Iowa we were obliged to put chains on the wheels to try to conjure up a little friction, and even this did not work very well.

Fetch and Karrup agreed that "the desert ground, full of small trenches that necessitated innumerable changes In gear a day. was the most difficult for travel, except when soft sand in one or two Isolated instances made it necessary to run over strips of canvas, or the presence of ditches, or other obstructions demanded the of shovel and axe before a way could be made.

Baltimore Workingmen Make Arrangement with Employers to Help Them Meet Competition. Special to Tkt Sra York Timts. BALTIMORE. Aug. 2L To enable their employers, to compete with New York.

Philadelphia, and other shipbuilding firms the Brotherhood of Boilermakers and Iron Shipbuilders here has voluntarily entered into an agreement with those firms included in the Ship and Marine Engine Builders' Association, whereby the wages demanded for overtime on new work are decreased from two and three-quart era to one and a half times tne pay received for the usual working hours. -In the cose of a large steamer a delay of few days coats the owners several hundred dollars. It is necessary, therefore, for the firm securing contracts to rush re--palra. and in order to do-this the boiler- makers work- The competition of the different shops in this city as well as those in other cities is so sharp that the figures have to be made as low as possible if the contract is to be secured. These conditions, taken tn connection with two and three-quarters, tbe usual, rate oi wages aemanoea ior overtime, threatened to drive the local shops out of the repair business.

Accordingly tne conservative leaders in the unions suc ceeded In arranging for reduction in wages for overtime.

Burly Tobacco Growers' Association HoldVMeeting in Kentucky to Devise Means. ferial to Tkt New York Timet.

LEXINGTON. Aug. 2L The Burly Tobacco Growers' Association, which was organized here one year ago to fight the Tobacco Trust, held a mass meeting to-day to devise means to raise $230,000 with which to purchase the entire output of tobacco in the United States this year. President Hawkins in his opening address stated that it had been currently reported that the com mtttee of three composed of himself and Messrs. Sullivan and McChord had been offered $01,000 each by the Continental To bacco Company to withdraw their allegiance to the association.

He denied that anv such offer had been made, and stated that had such an offer been made it would have been promptly refused, as it was the aim of the association to defeat the Tobacco Trust. Resolutions were adopted at the meeting to-day condemning the Continental and American Tobacco Companies for their methods in forcing the farmer to dispose of his crop of tobacco for A sum much less than the market price. There has been a great deal of dissatisfaction in the association since the last meeting two months ago, and it waa thought that the organization would be compelled to abandon Its plans, but at the meeting to-day every member pledged himself to stand by the association until the last, with the hope that the required amount would be raised by the next meeting.

He said the strike had not changed the conditions on the Job in this respect, and In this he only corroborated prior testimony. Jacob Gofsman, also a-member of the Brldgemen's Union, told a like story.

Where, be continued, were all the other witnesses the District Attorney said he was ready to produce? Mere they all like Mr. Farley ready to swear that Plents story was a lie? The restrict Attorney was afraid to produce them. Plenty said he had arranged to settle the strike for $500.

He thought that was what tne Hamburg-American Company would be willing to pay. He said that Plenty had drawn the check to Parka's order so that he could use it as an instrument to work a dirty little swindle on the steamship company."

UNION IN AN UPROAR OVER PARKS VERDICT. Practically tie sole topic of conversation at the meeting of the Housesmlths and Brldgemen's Union in Maennerchor Hall last night was the trial of Parks. About 10 o'clock, before the Jury had reached its the members' passed a' vote, of confidence in the accused walking and an assessment which had been levied Tor" Parka's defense, was paid lju- It was alj that this amounted to something like $1,000.

The vote Of confidence, however, was not quite unanimous. There was one man who voted against the resolution, and he was nearly mobbed by the other members. The effect of the verdlJt on the friends and admirers of Parks was almost indescribable. They had had such complete confidence in him that the possibility of a conviction had hardly been considered. So when the single word guilty was received.

was as if some heavy blow had fallen on each and every man Individually. There were some men, however, who looked at the matter In a different light. One of the prominent members of the Houseamiths Union said: There will be many happy homes in New York to-night. Some of us have been out since April, and the feeling has been among many of us that If Parka was out Of the way work would start up at once." An exciting scene occurred between Robert E. Neldig.

the President of the House- smiths' Union, mho is not considered to be a Parka supporter, and Walking Delegate 'iimotny one or farka a was 'ointly indicted with him In the assault case on James O'Neil. a member of the union. In a fiery speech, delivered in his shirt sleeves. McCarthy denounced Neidig. particularly for taking down to the District Attorney's office -the constitution and bv-laws of the union.

Neldia- had been subpoenaed by the District Attorney, and under the law was compelled to deliver up whatever pa tiers were demanded. It was une of the worst things that could have been done against Parks," he shouted. and I demand that you give up the a-avei and J.tep down as Chairman." McCarthy wits cheered uproariously by Ms supporters, wno appeared to be in a majority. Neldlg replied: 1 want to tell you grafters, and von particularly." pointing his finger at McCarthy, that I won't be forced out of the chair. There is a proper way to depose nie.

If I did produce the con stitution and by-laws. It was the action of a good citizen ana i would do It agnln. Now, do your beat or your worst. You can's remove me." Nei'lig still held the gavel, and McCarthy PARKS ANiVTHE FULLER CO. 8.

P. McConnell. Vice President of the George A. Fuller Company, was seen yesterday regarding the statement of Assist-tint District Attorney Rand that he wanted to show that he brought Samuel J. parks lie re from Chicago to strikes on the contracts of competing firms.

I had nothing to do with Parks coming New York." he said, "and never knew htm la Chtcjgo, In fact. I did not know' him alter I had been a resident of New York for several years." -i Asked if Parks -had not come her to work for the Fuller Company, he said: As a mutter of history. Parka came from- Chicago five or six years sgo in company wlb thirty or forty other men whom the Fuller Company brought on be-cauae of a scarcity of Iron workers In this inty. He had no special relations with the wmpAy at the time he was brought here, and he nevr has had since. The Fuller Company had nothing whatever to do with the seiectioe of Parks as a walking delegate by his union, and Its dealings with him have been only such as It had to have with walking delerates of other unions.

Interviews with walking delegates have always become necesoary when strikes have been declared or when they have been threatened." Regarding Assistant Attorney Rand's remarks about the alleged relations of Parks to the Fuller Company, he said: Probably nothing ever has been said that In Itself was such abaolut rot as the charge made that the Fuller Company, through Iarks or any other walking delegate, instituted strikes against other contractors. It would have been an silly as it would have been unprofitable. The Fuller Company has had all It could do to keep out of its own troubles without attempting to embroil other contractors in trouble."
