The machine carries a tank of about
eighty gallons, capacity. and consumes
about ten gallons of gasoline an hour. SO
that fuel enough to last eight hours may
be carried A speed of forty miles an
hour it is stated may be attained. The
apparatus is equipped with double-act-
ing piston pump similar to those used on
other engines.
Chief Wagner selected the early hour
in order to avoid crowd that might
hamper the men in charge of the engine.
At Petworth the endurance test attra cted
a number of spectators 1t was after 10
o'clock when the six-hour endurance test
started.
Chief Wagner was highly gratified at
the showing made by the new apparatus.
1t worked well. he said, and there was
not a single hitch in the test. AS soon
as the hose wagon reaches here the new
company will be installed. and Chief
Wagner says 1t will mean much better

SAYS W|FE'S EXPENSES
EXCEEDED HIS INCOME.
Response of Robert B. Brown
to Allegations in Suit
for Divorce.

Alleging that his wife spent $3.50. "a
during the last year in excess of his in
| come and blaming his marital difficulties
on his refusal to furnish her more money,
Robert b. Brown, attorney, has filed
answer TO the suit for a legal separation
brought by his wife, Sara A. Brown
Attorney Brown denies he has an an
nual income of 10000 the amount stated
by his wife, or that he ever told her his
income amounted to 10000 He declares
even the ten-thousand-dollar figure is a
Pigment of his wife's ina gination, and
says she attempted to live up to an in
come of those dimensions. His real es-
| tate holdings, Brown says, are far below
$4,000, and he owns no land in Mexico,
as claimed by the wife.
Court May Designate.
The lawyer expressed his Willingness
to have the court set a figure for his
wifes maintenance but asks that she be
required TO live within it, He says he
gave her $50 month for long time,
but was recently comp elled to refuse pay
ment because OF actions of his wife
which displeased him, ne states. He has
been carrying around check to her order
, his conditions have been complied with.
The allegation that he spends every
evening in the company of another Wom-
an is neither admitted nor denied by the
husband, who calls for strict proof Ii
his wife has been publicly Inundated, he
states, it happens from her persistence
in telling her troubles and from her al
legged attempts to secure from him more
! money than he was able to provide.
Denies he Neglected Wife.
Brown tells the court he never neg
lected his wife, but was himself the OBJ
ject of neglect. The charges of cruelty
are also denied. except on one occasion
he admits slapping his wife's face after
she had administered to him singing
blow in the face. The husband says his
wife totally ignores him, except ito
spread scandal about him among the
neighbors." She boasts, he AYERS that
she married beneath her and has so in
f1uenced the oldest daughter that he has
lost control OF the daughter.

At the time the feeding experiments

Gated that it did not. The proposed test

ing.
On the outcome of the experiments will
depend what sort of an order will be is
sued by the department on the subject of
sulphur oats. 1t is thought by the pure
food board that an order might be issued
now against sulphur oats on the score of
their containing too much moisture and
their low terminating qualities. but as
the feeding experiments will throw fur
Their light on the subject IT is proba BILE
the order will be withheld till after the

Follow The Stars Suggestion.

This has been done. President Taft YES

port by District Auditor Tweedale which
had received the Endorsement of the Com
miSsioners. In this report the auditor
states that, as far as his office has been
ablc ~ ascertain. the deficiency is not
based on audited accounts but the amount
thereof presumably has been derived from
eN-parte statements made before the
House committee in charge OF the sun

The report continues:
This Office Is not in position at this
time in the absence OF thorough audit
OF the accounts submitted by the Gov

District of Columbia, between the fiscal
years 1851 and 1911 inclusive TO state
whether the District OF Columbia is in

Series of Feeding Tests.

There is TO be a series OF feeding tests
started at the Beltsville experiment sta
ton when the several grades of corn will
be fed to cattle. sheep and pigs for some
weeks and a record kept with lot of
check animals continuing on their usual
food 1t will be noticed whether there is
any effect on the stock from feeding the
different grades Of deteriorated grain.
This matter is of great interest to the
livestock men and grain growers and
handlers all over the United States. be-
cause Of the immense quantity Of grain
that goes into interstate and foreign COM
merce.
Heretofore most of this grain has been
used for stock feed when II was manifest
ly past using for human beings. If ii is
found to have a deleterious effect on
stock its use as stock feed can be pro-
hibited under the pure food law.

TEST OF STOCK FEED
Experiments With Partially
Spoiled Grain Proposed.
TO BE MADE AT BELTSVlLLE
Searching Investigation of Effect of
Sulphuring Oats Is Also
Planned.
TO BE MADE AT BELTSVILLE

What effect partial spelling has on
grain for stock-feeding purposes is to be
determined by a series of experiments
being inaugurated by DR.. Il. T. Galloway
of the bureau of plant industry OF the
Department of Agriculture.
The department has been interested in
the proper handling and storage Of grain
for long time and recently made a
series of careful experiments on corn
shipped across the continent preparatory
to export to Europe. Some of the corn
was bad to start with. some was good.
Part was kept for six days at temper
ature of 100 Fahrenheit. but did not show
the effects of heating, though there were
noticeable chemical changes in the grain
as shown by laboratory tests Some OF
the grain was subjected to temperature
of 133 for six days and some for twice
that long. These specimens were visibly
discolored.
