GET EXPERT ADVICE
ON FIRE PROTECTION
House Committee Seeks
Means to Safeguard Gov
ernment Property.

AS result OF statements made to the
House committee on public buildings and
grounds yesterday afternoon by w. H.
Merrill. president Of the National Fire
Protective Association Of Chicago, and
George w. Babb. chairman OF the ma
ticnal board Of fire underwriters. II seems
probable that the committee, instead OF
proceeding with its task of drafting strin-
gent regulations to protect government
buildings in Washington from fire, will
propose that a government bureau-either
the bureau Of standards or the bureau OF
mines-be clothed with authority and
given charge Of the proposition. Both the
witnesses mentioned urged that this was
the simplest solution OF the dtflcnlty.
They appeared before the committee upon
the request Of Representative Morris
Sheppard Of Texas. its chairman. to give
expert advice.
In brief. Messrs. Merrill and. Babb
| urged that an effective bureau be placed
| lures In the National Capital and forcing
fire.
They suggested that the services OF
/ the bureau OF mines, which has q
/ splendidly equipped corps Of experts
for the prevention Of Are in mines, be
/ extended so as to make its activities
extend to all OF the government build
! fngs They thought results could be
obtained in this way much more quick.

Standardization Of Buildings.

The experts also called attention to

suggesting that the Standardization OF

Sand Thrown on Track.

Owing to the danger from skidding du,
| to the large accumulation Of oil dripping
on the turn the management sent labor
ers with loads Of sand to scatter on tn,
track. The laborers stood on the insid,
and cast the sand with shovels as far a.
possible.
Twenty-seven cars were left on tn,
| track after $50 miles had been completed
| by the leader. 1t was estimated by tn.
racing men and timers that the majorit,
OF the cars were averaging about seventy
eight miles an hour
There was great battle on at the end
i OF 400 miles. when there were still twen-
ty-seven cars in the race. Harroun was
in the lead and Ralph Mulford was press
third place, Dawson fourth, Wishart fifth,
Turner sixth. Merz seventh. Cobe eighth,
Prayer ninth and De Palma tenth. The
time for the 400 miles was hours p min
utes 10 seconds.
Harroun was, still in the lead at $50
miles. with Mulford less than half lap
behind. Bruce-Brown was driving like
mad. himself closely pressed by Joe
Dawson in a Marmon.
The nearest competitor was Ralph De
Palma. and he was about ten laps behind.
Spencer Wishart was in fifth place, while

eighth. .Hughie'' Hughes ninth and

AT 4OO HilleS f1arTOun was IN the leaQ

Merz. De Palma had dropped back be-
hind Merz The time for $50 miles was 6
hours 25 minutes 3j seconds.
Final Squirt Thrilling.
Harroun. Milford and Bruce-Brown
were all in the Tooth lap at the same time
Joe Dawson was still in fourth place
and de Palma had pulled up into fifth
place. The leaders were giving one Of
the greatest exhibitions of driving ever
seen on the Speedway. The exciting finish
aroused the crowd to great enthusiasm.
and every time the leaders crossed the
wire the shouts were deafening.
At the 400th mile. made in six hours and
thirty three minutes, Bruce-Brown, after
being passed by MulfOrd, had again
slipped into second place behind Harroun.
Mulford was close third and Dawson
was coming up like the wind. The two
prize hard luck incidents of the day
came in the very last lap Of the race
Just two and one-half miles from the
grand finals, Bruce-BrOwn and Dawson
being the victims.
Harroun was being closely pressed by
Bruce-Brown. and the question Of chang
ing tires at this stage practically meant
jeOpardizing the chances. First Brown
was called upon for the change OF one
tire This threw Mulford close to Bruce
Brown. and then with only one lap to
go and second place practically cinched,
the grand prize winners spark lever
broke. He thus lost second place and 1t
required a quick repair for him to pull
into third place.
Joe" Dawson, in a Marmon, had a
hole knocked in his radiator on the last
lap when he was in fourth position. With
the water streaming from the opening. he
made an attempt to get around the track
again, but his engine was choked down,
helpless, less than a mile from the finish.

trouble. knights car crashed into fem
with such terrific force that both were
dragged along to the roadway opposite
the gate.
The crash caused the westcott to turn
complete somersault, throwing Knight
and his mechanic, John Glover. some
distance. In the meantime the starter
was endangering his life in the center OF
the track checking the flyers. However,
when 1t was seen that all the wrecked
cars were free .of the course he waved
At the hospital an examination showed
that knight was not as seriously injured
as was at first supposed, and after being
treated by the physicians he was sent

Crowd Sees Accident.
When Anderson fell on the track he
was not badly hurt, and after lying there
for few seconds he jumped up and
limped to place Of safety. The accident
happened opposite the most crowded part
of the course, and perhaps half of the
spectators saw it.
The race was full Of spectacular driv-
ing, and the immense throng held its
breath as tire after tire would blow up
or shoot clear from a rim and roll down
the track. On such occasions the ma
chimes frequently 1urched and careened
| In a wabbly course to the pits, where ex-
pert hands pulled away the worn shoes
and replaced them with new ones.
A prearranged set OF signals given by
the mechanicians in the race told the men
in the pits just what tire or implement
was wanted.
After the first hundred miles had been
run 1t narrowed to a. fight for first place
between Bruce Brown, in his Fiat; Ralph
Mulford, in his Lozier and Harroun, in
his Marmon. Bruce Brown moved up
to first place at 11O miles, which he COW
cred in 1h. 29m. SIS. Joe Dawson, in

Bruce-Brown kept up a terrific pace for
the next fifty miles. and had negotiated

Near the two-hundred-mile mark Har-
roun forged to the front and was leading
the field, closely followed by Bruce-Brown
and Muiford. The time for the 200 miles
was 2h. Ann. 21s. Shortly after the 800
miles had been scored Mulford had moved
up to first place, with Harroun second
and Bruce-Brown third A little later De

easiest of the entire run and the car was
less difficult to handle on the turns" said
Harroun after the race. 'At first there
was tendency to slip. which increased
toward the 2O0-mile mark, but from that
time 1 had little trouble in holding the
car to its course"
Average Speed, TAFT Miles.
The winning car Travelled the 500 miles
at an average speed of 74.77 miles an
hour. The same speed. kept up for twice
the distance, would carry a car from
New York to Chicago practically in broad
daylight. It is worlds record for sus-
tained automobile travel. The only per-
Torrance with which 1t can be compared
lis s. F. Edges twenty-four-hour world s
record at Brooklands. In that event he
covered only 474 miles in the first seven
hours, as against Harroun's 500 miles in
nineteen minutes less.
Greiner, whose mechanic was killed
when the Amplex turned over, is out of
danger. Explaining the accident, he said
that a rim was loose when the start OF
the race came and there was mo time
to tighten IT. The rim flew off on the
thirtieth mile.

UNIQUE COFFERDAM
ABOUT MAINE WRECK
Regarded as Without Precedent in
Engineering Practice-Pump-
ing to Begin June Is.

Although the remarkable cofferdam
that has been constructed around the
wreck of the Maine, in Havana harbor.
has no precedent in engineering practice.
the army engineers have no doubt Of its
success. It Is admitted that the dam lies
only a foot or two above high tide level,
but that is regarded as entirely sufficient
in view Of the fact that Havana harbor
Is almost completely landlocked and is
undisturbed by high waves from the sea.
Easy to Add to Height.
But 1t is said by the engineers that
should it develop that there is danger
of the dam being flooded from the top
1t would be comparatively easy to add
to the height of the structure by con-
crete wall or timber work at small cost.
The explanation of the delay in begin
ming the unwatering is that some OF the
steel rails which were driven to interlock
the circular tubes which make the wall
were found to be bent. leaving interstices
through which water could pass. These
rails were pulled up with difficulty. and
1t has not been easy to stl'aighten them for
reseating with the limited facilities
available.
