OAKLAND RAILBREAK MAY
BE COSTLY TO B. & o. R. r.
Seven Miles of Trackage Under
Suspicion and Observation

A striking example Of the length to
which modern railroads go in safety
methods was contained in a discussion
by H. R. Laughlin, general superin-
tendent of the Cumberland Division
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad of
the rail break and subsequent derail-
ment Of seven cars near Oakland on
Monday night.
AS the result of the break, which
was caused by a transverse fssure,"
seven miles of track are under close
observation and may be replaced with
new rails.
According to Mr.. Laughlin, trans
verse assure is a systematic flaw eX-
tending for considerable length or
throughout the entire length Of rail.
While modern steel manufacturing
methods produce many rails with but
a small percentage containing trans
verse assures, this particular defect
cannot be detected by any known
method
Consequently when one develops the
entire number of rails which came
from the same cheat" of steel at the
mills is under suspicion.
When the break occurred Monday
night and the cause assigned to this
particular defect, the local offices of
the road at once searched their rec
ords to learn where all the rails from
the same heat had been laid. Four
miles Of the rails are laid through
Oakland to points east and west en-
bracing this length Of track and three
more miles are near Greenspring, Mr..
Laughlin said The rails were laid
during the past summer.
Should another break occur in eth
err of these sections the entire heat of
rails might be removed. Should five
breaks occur the entire heat of rails
would certainly be removed.
Mr.. Laughlin further explained the

unimportant trackase. Those from
the middle of the heat are reserved
for high speed rackage and curves.
Photographs of the break, particu-
Iarly those of the cross sections, on
file in Mr.. Laughlin's office at Cum
berland showed clearly the systematic
flaw in the rail removed from the
track near Oakland following the de
railment and wrecking Of the cars on
Monday night,

WIMMLER ARRIVES TO
 MAKE MINING STUDY

To confer with Supervising Min ing Engineer B. D. Stewart relative to his field program during the current season, N. L. Wimmler, Los Angeles mining engineer, arrived here yesterday on the steamer Yu- kon. His services were recently obtained by Mir Stewart to carry on mining investigations under the cooperative mining law of the Ter ritory.
 MT. Wimmler had five years ex- perience in similar work in Alaska prior to 1926. He spent several seasons Investigating placer min- ing methods and bulletin written by him covering those studies is regarded as one of the best treatises in existence on the subject.
 He will be here several days mapping out the seasons work with MT. Stewart. Later he will proceed to the interior to start his investigations.

complete their schedule for the half. If they win both they will finish with seven won and two lost.
 The Islanders have three more to play, one with every other team in the league. If they win two out of the three they can't possibly be beaten. They can lose two and still tie for first place even if the Moose win their two remaining games. In fact, the only way the Islandrs can be counted out is for them to drop all three contests which is not at all likely to happen while the Moose win the two it has left.
 Koski probably will work on the mound for the Bills tonight and Pete Schmitz for the Paps. The game is scheduled to start at T o'clock.
