SIX DAY GRIND ENDS
 WITHOUT SENSATION
Winners Steal Lap Early in Last Day and Hold Their
 Advantage

NEW YORK. Dec. l6.-Jce Fogler of Brooklyn, and Jackie" Clark oi Melbourne Australia, won the six day bicycle race which ended at 10 o'clock tonight at Madison Square gar. den. The Fogler and Clark team finished one lap ahead of six other teams punched in a tie for second place.
 The finish was lacking in the ex. citement of the wind-up of six day races of recent years. Fogler and Clark had practically won the race at an early hour this morning, when a series of sensational stunts re- suited in their gaining a lap on the field. The advantage thus gained they held to the finish.
 Fogler and Clark pedaled 2,71S miles and nine laps in the 142 hours of contest. To the six teams imme- diately following, 2,71S miles and eight laps were credited. The win ners were eighteen miles and two laps behind the record of 2,737 miles. one lap made by Mcfarland and Moran In 1908.
 Frank Kramer, of East Orange, N. | J., the sprint champion and James Moran of Chelsea. Mass, were sec )nd place winners.

The absence from the Congressional

Proposed New Function.
A new function proposed for the library
that of legislative reference and bill
drafting bureau-is suggested by Mr.. Put
nam. He reiterates the statements Of a
special report he made to Congress on
the subject last winter. giving special at
tention to the question whether such a
bureau Is proper function for the IL
library, or should be attached solely to
Congress.
OF the special report on the subject,
he says:
Throughout, the report emphasizes
that on principle and under precedent, the
work OF the bureau. to be completely and
permanently useful, must be scientific;
that the force must be organized, ap.
pointed and administered as a force of
scientific experts-whose only aim should
be the pursuit Of truth. exact and eff.
ficient and the recommendations there
fore ignore the suggestion of certain of
the bills which intend a bureau dis
tinctively political and partisan"
