FIRE AT TAKoMA PARK.

Evidence Discovered Which Creates
Suspicion of Incendiurfsm.
Shortly after shutdown yesterday an
alarm was sounded from box S35 for fire
in stable on the premises of George Bart
lett, on Chestnut avenue, Takoma Park.
When the fire was discovered by Mr. Wal
ter Brown there was every likelihood that
the building and perhaps other property
would be destroyed, but No. chemical en-
CINE was at the scene in such a short time
that the flames had no time to spread to
any extent and were extinguished before
much damage had been done.
How the fire could have started without
being the work of an incendiary Mr. Bart
lett could not understand, and when the
flames had been eXtinguiShed he made an
investigation. Policemen Coffin and Brem-
norman also looked into the matter, and
the finding of a jar that had contained
gasoline satisfied them that the place had
been set on fire. The incend:ary is not
known.

DEMONSTRATED By AID OF Y RAYS.
DIR. CARL BECK SHOWS THE EFFECT OF MODERN
BILLET ON TILE uIrMAN BODY

DIX. CAfL BECK SHOWS THE EFFECT OF A MODERN
BULLET ON THE HUMAN BODY.
Dr. Carl Beck professor Of surgery In the New
York School OF Clinical Medicine. last night gave
an X-ray demonstration to about one hundred
physicians and surgeons at his home. No. 81 East
Thirty-frst-st. The doctor demonstrated that sew
eral theories relative to the effect Of modern bullets
on the human body are without foundation.
1t Is believed by many scientists and medicai men
that the small cabre bullet OF the new Army
rifles, thrown with smokeess, hgh pressure
powder. does not cause great injury as the more
ancient weapon and that the modern arms are
more humane IN their effect. 1t Is contended by
this class that the size of the bullet and Its great
velocity cause II to cut a small hole through
bone. and that there is practically no shock the
soldier being able to fight for considerable time
after being hit. unconscious of the fact mat 'he
bullet struck him. DIR. Beck demonstrated 10 'ho
assembled company that this view Is erroneous
Last week he took an amputated human ies "
Governors Island and at his request Major Kim
ball instructed one of his soldiers TO SHOOT at II
with a thirty-calibre new regulation gun Instead
of tho bullet making one small hole, the H-rays
afterward showed It had splintered the bone INTO
nearly twenty pieces. and that the bone was com
pletely severed. that If the soldier received d
similar wound he would fall to the ground AT once
Another interesting experiment which. IL was
said has never before been as successfully per
formed was afterward made by the Doctor re
