RECORDS OF INDIAN SONGS.
Ranchman Procures Valued Addition
to Canned Music" Collection.

When the Bannock Indians Of Idaho
we're singing their tribe songs during a
recent war dance they paid but little
attention to Ralph w. Dixie, an Indian
ranchman OF the Fort Hall reservation
OF that state. as he quietly bent over
peculiar little continuance which kept up
. continual whirring noise and which
ceased as the songs stopped. The Indians
did not know they were contributing to
the canned music supply of the coun-
Try.
But this is just what they were doing,
and only q few days ago the Indian office
in this city received several of the rec
ords. allowing the officials to listen for
hours to the real songs of the Indians
They have been sent to the bureau of
ethnology, which is engaged in collecting
data on the customs, songs and dances of
Indian tribes throughout the country
The records will be copied shortly and
then returned to the Indian bureau.
The Bannocks are particularly super
stftious tribe, and II Is declared that had
they known what Dixie was doing as he
-pent over his little photograph II might
have taken several troops Of cavalary to
have held them In subsection.

ed and Total Loss.

Caught between two fast-moving street
cars crowded with passengers, last night,
an automobile carrying the chauffeur and
one other was crushed into a mass Of
wreckage; the gasoline tank of the auto
mobile, exploding, set fire to all three We
hicles. consuming all but the metal con-
struction to the mutilated automobile,
and practically destroying the street cars.
The chauffeur alone was injured. and his
hurts are not grave. The man with him
in the automobile was extricated with no
more than a scratch on him. The men
and women riding in the cars. some of
them panic-stricken, all escaped to the
pavement without casualty.

The smash-up happened at 21st and P
street northwest, at about $50 o'clock.
The six-thousand-dolar automobile. the
property of Z. A. Harlow of 1924 21st
street northwest, is total loss. About
s. 500 damage each was done to the street
cars
limerick r. Johnson, the injured chauf-
feur, is in Emergency Hospital. Joseph
Ottoach, butler in the Harlow family,
was the man with him in the auto, who
escaped unscathed.
When the two cars simultaneously hit
the automobile it was lifted from the
ground and squeezed between them, caus-
ing both cars to lean away from the
tracks. AS the cars settled back the wheels
Ind sides of the automobile crashed
through the car windows.
Had not the frames of the car windows
given way both cars would have been
overturned with their passengers still on
board.
Scared passengers rushed to the doors
of the pay-as-yOu-enter cars and huf-
riedly escaped from danger

Chauffeur Johnson was pinned in be-
tween the wrecked cars and automobile.
It was necessary toSdrag him through one
Of the street car windows to free him.
Fire did not break out for several min
utes after the collision. There was ample
time to get Johnson and Ottoach from
the wreck before the flames threatened
them.
DIR. L. W. Glazebrook. whose dwelling Is
close to the scene of the wreck, was one
OF the first to go to the aid Of Johnson.

to check speed. simultaneously the three
vehicles came together as the brakes

crash of the glass, the tipping of the cars.

shouts Of the cars crews. the passengers
jumped to their feet in terror. Some of
them had been thrown from their seats.
Many OF them lodged the flying frag-

the men in the automobile were being
taken from the wreckage.
DR.. Glazebrook Gives Aid.

Fire broke out few minutes after the
gasoline tank exploded. An alarm of fire,

The burning gasoline made the fire
troublesome to fight. The firemen finally
succeeded in extinguishing the fire. but

Fairfax County Highway.

r: Walton Moore, representing the
Good Roads Association Of Fairfax coun-
ty, Va, will address the board on the
subject OF the proposed highway from tie
county to Washington. In the absence OF
authority on the part of the board OF
directors to take action for the entire
board Of trade, II was deemed advisable
that Mr.. Moore should lay the matter
before the board OF trade rather than
the board OF directors.
The proposed amendment TO the by
laws increasing the dues OF the men,
bers OF the board from SO to SO a
year is also on the program for action
at the coming meeting. The proposition
received the approval of the board OF
directors several weeks ago.
Since then. however, the feeling has
gained ground that the wisest plan would
be to endeayor to double the membership
of the Board Of Trade instead of dou-
bling the dues. The secretary has there
fore been carrying on an active cam
paign to increase the membership, which
has met with much success. 1T is eX-
pected that within a short time the
membership of the Board of Trade will
have passed the LOCO mark.
