In this great arenic contest the
spectator sees eight horses galloping
at break.neck speed AMIDST raining ev-
cry muscle to gain the advantage In
the race within the ampitheatre.
Behind each quartet of horses l. a
Roman chariot. The wheels reyolve
rapidly: the chariots lurcll aud sway
and the flaming beriblnlsed garments
OF the drivers hutter behind them,
adding intensity to the realism of the
scene. The Illusion Is fstill further
increased as the interior wall Of the
ampitheatre moves along and the
dust fiies IN binding clouds beneath
the crushing wheels Of the cl,ariots.
The clatter OF the rushing hoofs of
the horses and the rumble of the
chariots are distinctly heard.
Elaborate mechanism and Spplica.
lions OF electricity produce this great
effect. The mechanism OF two great
cradles, twenty feet In length and
fourteen feet wide, and which are
movable back and forth on railways,
Is supported by y bridge structure
capable OF holding twenty tons. The
tops OF the cradles are two inches
above the level OF the stage. Each
cradle bears the four horses and the
chariot OF each contestant. On each
cradle there are four runways and
treadmills Of hickory stats two inches
wide and covered with rubber; they
are twelve feet long and two and
half feet wide. On each OF these
treadmills horse Is secured BY steel
cable traces which hold him In place
and prevent him from moving for.
ward OIL the runways. As each horse
gallops, the tresdMill revolves
under his feet, thereby eliminating
the forward pressure created by the
impact Of his hOofs, which would
force him ahead on an immovsble
surface. BY this mechanical arrange.
ment II Is possible for the horses &C.
tuslly to sallop with oil their speed

HOPES TO GET CASE
TR|ED|N WASHINGTON
Courts Legal Action BY U.s.
ing Infringing Paving
Process.

One might think there is nothing OF
romantic human interest about a sec
ton Of asphalt paving, but If he did
he'd be nightly mistaken.
Just now the eyes of a good sized
portion of a good sized world are TO-
cused upon a section of just such paw
ing in this city. What the District OF
Columbia does with that chunk Of un-
responsive, silent coal tar may mean
millions of dollars to millions of people
throughout the United States. This
is the story:
Back in 1903, on May 5. to be exact,
the United States Patent Office issued
a patent on a particular process for
Taking asphalt paving. The patent
guaranteed to its holder the exclusive
right to make paving in which the top,
asphalt layer. was composed OF bitumen
mixed with stones of more than one
size.
That more than one size is the
Crux of the case, because, as matter
of fact, no two stones in the world are
exactly the same size, and because
crushed rock-whiCh everybody uses for
such paving-is nothing but stones of
different sizes. It would be impossible
TO produce crushed rock in which the
particles would be of one size.
This patent was used as the founda-
tion for a corporation known as the
Warren Brothers Company" a Boston
concern. which Immediately proceeded
to form subsidiary companies all over
the country for laying asphalt paving
by the "bitulistic" process, as the pro-
cess covered by the patent is known.
Enter Herman Interest
Now, here's where the romantic
human interest begins to creep in. About
the time the Warren Brothers Com
pany wasg organized, practically every
municipality, county, and park board in
the country began laying paving COM
posed of titumen and crushed rock.
The reason for this was nothing in the
world except our old friend, the auto
" mobile.
Automobiles were coming into general
use, and they were sucking the surface
off every road in the United States as

TAFT GETS REASONS
FOR "BELVO|R' SITE
After Hearing Both Sides,
President Refers 1t to
Art Commission.

Following a conference this morn
ing at the White House with District
Commissioners Rudolph, Johnston,
and Judson, at which time the reasons
for establishing the criminal reforma-
tory on the "Belvoir" site near Mt.
Vernon were given, the President re-
ferred the whole matter to the art
commission of the District
Yesterday afternoon the President
heard the protest of Representative
Carlin of Virginia and a delegation
from the Mt. Vernon Ladies' Associa-
ton headed by Miss Harfiett c. Com
eggs.
If the art commission decides that
the objections of the regents are well
founded, he will direct that the prop
erty be sold and a new one acquired.
The reasons for their action in Sc
lecting the present site as submitted
to the President this morning in the
form of a brief are as follows:
THE advantageous price"
"That It was located on the potomac
river fronting on deep water. making
It particularly advantageous on ac-
count of cheap water transportation.
The site for the workhouse having
been locsted by reason of its proxim.
ity to the river, the economical rea-
son also guided the Commissioners In
the selection OF the site for the re-
formatory. as one boat could deliver
the prisoners and material to both
sites.
"No other suitable site on the river,
north of Indian Head. could be OBJ
tanned. owing to excessive price and
the Importance of securing a tract
of the size required.

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA DEFIES

fast as city councils and county super
visors could lay 1t down.
what can we do to save our roads"
the paving world asked.
The answer came almost simultane-
ously from a thousand places:
Build your streets and roads Of as
phalt mixed with crushed rock
So the country began on that system,
but the country reckoned without the
Warren Brothers Company, of Boston.
That company lit in a score of cities at
once, and propounded something like
this:
We hold a patent on this process of
making paving and roads. Either our
company does the work, or you pay us
a royalty
Ultimately, the city of owosso. Mich.
joined hands with the Barber Asphalt
Company-which is also in the paving
business-and fought the, bitulistic pat
ent In the courts. 1t carried its case
to the United States Circuit Court for
the Sixth district, and that court, in an
opinion written by Justice Lurton, now
on the Supreme Bench, held the btu
listic patent to be good.
Reaping Enormous Profits.
That was on January 3, 1909, and ever
since the Warren Brothers Company
has been reaping enormous profits on
paving laid or roads made by mixing
asphalt and crushed rock.
This Is where the District OF Column
bia comes into the story. The EnGi-
neer Department of the District knew
all about the bitulisic paving issue, and
knows all about it now. 1t knew al
about 1t last year, when it laid about
half a mile of that kind of pavement
on Thirteenth street. 1t knows all about
It this year. when 1t proposes to lay
some more.
But the Warren Brothers Company
has not attempted to collect royalties
from the District, nor has IT attempted
to stop the work. The District of Co.

Iumbia has. indirectly and directly, In
yited the company to bring suit here

cess. ~
thereby hangs another tale. =.
AS a rule, the United States Circuit
Court Is the court of last resort In pat
cnt litigation. The Supreme Court does
not review patent cases on their merits.
Sometimes 1t grants writs OF certlorari'
hut the precedent is to consider no. ap-
neal from a circuit court In patent
The Warren Brothers Company's pat
ent has been held good in q circuit
court. This precedent would prooaoly
be accepted by any other circuit court
10 which a case might be taken. There
only one. way in which the validity OF
the patent can be passed upon by the
United States Supreme Court, ana IIidt
is to have a case started In the DIS
trict of Columbia.
Avoid Litigation Here.
The Warren Brothers Company has
avoided litigation here, although the
District has openly infringed its patent
rights and has actually invited suit.
In the meantime the Warren Brothers
Company has gone TO Congress and
asked recognition of that body by the
insertion of a provision for bitulistic
paving in the District appropriation bill.
The Engineer Commissioner of the Dis
trict has appeared before the House
Appropriations Committee and opposed
it, He says he can lay bitulistic paw
ing here-and is laying it-without any
specific authority.
The Engineer Commissioner doubts the
validity OF the bitulistic patent. on the
ground that the process which it pro-
tects was in general use in the District
Of Columbia and in other places several
years before the patent was issued.
The whole case of the Warren Broth
ers Company patent has been threshed
out before the House Commlttte in the
last few weeks. Hundreds of city and
county officials and paving contractors
are watching Nfor the result of the
Washington controversy. What is done
here will mean millions of dollars to the
rest of the United States.
