quantity of the latter, however, for
evidence at the trial of Bittinger, the
alleged offender.
At the time the raid was made Bit

On Wednesday afternoon last at
three o'clock there occurred. lat Kerins'
Brothers Garage in Oakland, a dem
onstration which will long be remem-
.bered by those residents of the town
Do were fortunate enough to be pres
%nt. 1t consisted of attacks of bur
glarious nature upon the various met
ais now used in vault construction for
the purpose of determining the very
best, for the Garrett National Bank
had determined to have nothing but
the best, and there were so many
conflicting claims made by the repre-
sentatives of the various vault COM
panies that there was only one way
to determine what was best, and that
was by actual physical test right in
Oakland where the Board of Direc-
tors could see the result and where
the results obtained by visiting ex-
perts could be checked by local men
thoroughly versed in methods of burn
ing.
Mr.. H. Lynn, the chief engineer of
the Mosler Safe Company, was in
charge of the first part of the test. He
first explained by diagram what
would be necessary to open vault
door, showing the vulnerable points
in the train of mechanism between the
locking bolts on the door and the
combination and time locks.
Having done this, he had his burner
cut a hole through open-hearth steel,
fve-ply chrome steel, cast iroon and
twenty-five per cent copper bearing
cast iron, in a matter of seconds,
much to the establishment of those
not skilled in burning, and then hav-
ing demonstrated what could be done
on single plates, he assembled a door
section before the eyes of the audience
and proceeded to attack it in a man.
ner easily possible in any banking
room.
This door section was ten inches
thick composed of four inches of open
hearth steel, two inches of fve-ply
welded chrome steel hardened to re-
sist drills, and four inches of twenty
five per cent copper bearing cast iron
heretofore claimed as being "torch
proof"
The audience had by this time be-
gun to doubt the ability of any mater
ial to withstand the torch and were
prepared to see a hole cut through
the section ten inches thick. Most of
them felt that anything so thick
might take from ten to thirty minutes
nd all agreed that thirty minutes
uld be burglarious for any burglar
would have at least thirty minutes
for such a job. One gentleman, who
is connected with Jones & Laughlin,
the big steel people, and who has an
intimate knowledge of steel and its
resistance to burning, had the termer-
ity to suggest that the hole would be
put through the ten inches of vault
material in three minutes, but the
audience felt that he was making too
much of the burners and expected it
to take much longer time.
The burning started and in exactly
thirty seconds from the start the hole

new VAULT PURCHASED BY
GARRETT NATIONAL BANK
Building Is To Be Enlarged And
Greatly Improved TO Meet
Present Day Demands

Plans and specifications for the en-
largement of the Garrett National
Bank building in Oakland have been
made and accepted by the bank Off
Gals which will entail the expendi-
ture of upwards of 100000, which
contemplate the building of an addi-
ton on the west side and the extern
sion of the present structure to the
full depth of the lot now owned by
the bank.
In addition to the erection of the
addition the present building on the
south and north exposures will be
faced with a gray brick to cores
pond as nearly as possible with the
stone front which was erected a few
years ago.
With the building of the addition
nearly twice the floor space now &C.
cupied as the banking room will be
afforded and in addition it will pro-
vide a private office for the cashier,
a new and enlarged room for the d.
rectors; private consultation rooms
for patrons of the bank and larger
and improved working space for the
various employees Of the institution.
To do all this considerable time and
the expenditure of much labor will be
required, but it is the plan of the
officials of the bank to inconvenience
the patrons as little as possible.
With the enlargement of the banks
quarters new fixtures will be installed
and they will be the best that can be
purchased, as well as the most mod
ern. New vaults for the better pro-
lection of the securities and other
equipment is included.
