Wizard of Track
Breaks Three More
Worlds Records.

Daytona. Fla. March 23.-Barney
Oldfield, wizard of the track proved
his right today to the title of world 5
speed king by breaking three world s
records. including two which experts
long since figured would stand for
many years.
On theNhard surface of the Daytona
Beach. driving his 00-horsepoWer
Benz, with which he a week ago broke
the worlds mile record at speed
enualing 1y1.72 miles an hour, Oldfield
today covered two miles in 55.S5, about
8 seconds better than the previous
worlds record made by Demogeot of
Paris on the Daytona track in 1906.
Thirty minutes later OldfielG drove
against the worlds kilometre record of
17.76 seconds made by Hemery on the
Brooklands, Eng, track. He shot past
the starting line like a meteor and fin
ished the distance in 1904. The third
record established by Oldfield was the
one mile stock chassis mark of 40.35 in
a Knox The previous record was set
by Lewis Strang in a Fiat, 1880
Although David Bruse Brown, Wal
ter Christie, George Robertson, Ben
[
known drivers with fast cars partici-
patad in todays races, Oldfield swept
all before him with speed and daring
which proved that "old timer" is bet
ter than ever. The consistency of Old
fields work with his giant Benz shows
that no fiuke can be held responsible
for his great record for the mile last
week.
Oldfield will try to better the mile
record tomorrow and promises a mile
at the rate of 40 miles an hour. Sum-
maries.

JUDGMENT FOR PLAINTIFF
In Law Court Rescript Handed Down
In HalIowell Case.

The law court Wednesday handed
down rescript in the Kennebec coun-
~ case Of Edwin 0 Trask vs. the Hal
lowell Granite Works, giving judg-
ment for the plaintiff for $3.50. The
plaintiff was injured by the fall of a
hoisting apparatus, known as shears,
on the wharf Of the defendant while
unloading coal for a street railroad
company.
The r"script, drawn by Associate
Justice Leslie &, Cornish Of Augusta,
says, in part:
J. That the evidence would justify
a finding by the jury that the plaintiff
was not guilty Of contributory negli-
gcncc.
2. That the defendant owed to the
plaintiff. although an cmployc Of the
railroad company the duty of reason
able diligence in seeing 10 it that its
wharf and fixtures were in Il reason
ably safe condition.
3. The measure OF the defendant s
liability was ordinary care, a relative
term and dependent upon many con-
sidcrations. The greater the danger,
tn" greater the vigilance required to
y
Precaution must Increase as the peril
increases Where life and limb are at
stake, due care requires that every
thing be done that gives reasonable
promise OF the preservation of such
life and limb. Under some conditions
the best material may be none too
good and what under less pcriluus
surroundings would be deemed ex-
traordinary diligence, may be but or
binary care. who're the dangers are
imminent. Applying the rule here, we
think the standard has not been met.
The peril was grave and apparent.
Upon the strength Of thees eye-bolts
depended the safety of men working
on the platform beneath. Proportion
ate care and foresight were demanded
OF The defendant. The superintend-
ent Mr.. Hunt was aware OF it, He
was accustomed to the use of der
ricks at the quarries, and he directed
Kelley to use the best of everything"
Had Kelley followed these Instructions a

its orders would be carried out ana made
no further inquiries or Inspection

would be compensatory.
