Nine engine companies and three | truck companies were tested this morning by Battalion Chief Thomas F. O'Connor, W. W. Deane, fire pre- vention engineer of the War De- partment, and a representative of The Star. All companies but one swung out of their houses in less than 10 sec- onds, the low record for Baltimore. One company, Engina Company. No. 2, New Jersey avenue. between D and E streets. had trouble in getting i1s motor started and a result was credited with 30 seconds. Twenty other engine companies, 10 more truck companies, the rescue | squad and the fire hoat remain to be timed. The contest committee is continying the tests this afternoon and tomorrow. Chief Praises Results. Chief O’Connor, chairman of the committee, expressed gratification over the results of the first tests, pointing out that the average time this year is much better than that established in 1926 and 1925. Under a new rule the competing companies are permit- ted to warm their engines before the tests.

On the run-off to decide the tie the former company established the world record and the latter com- pany clipped 1-5 of a second off its previous mark, to make 7 seconds flat. The time of each company was carefully checked by two stop watches, one held by Chief O'Connor and the other by The Star’s repre- sentative. Mr. Deane in' each in- stance measured the distance to be covered during the test, or 39 feet, cified in Fire Chief Watson's Engine Company No. 17 had been “in training” for the contest, and they made every fraction of a second count. The men were stationed about the floor of the house, with Driver R. E. Midgett toeing a mark 14 feet from his =eat, and Private Tom O’Brien located a similar distance from the crank. Gong Starts Activity. At a word from Chief O’Connor, the big gong sung out the number “1—3 With the first strike of the gong Pri- vate Midgett dashed for his seat, and O'Brien dived for the hand crank, previously set in the most advan- tageous position. At the same time the wtop watches started clicking off their story, a fifth of a second at a time. The motor was whirling over in an instant, and in another instant the big piece of apparatus was ripping through the doorway with the throttle wide open. Comparison of the stopwatches showed that both instruments had registered exactly the same time, to a fifth of a second, ASSUMPTION OF GUILT DISAPPROVED BY COURT Frees Colored Man Accused Under Dry Law, Whose Satchel Was Searched Without Warrant.

It was decided that this was not the “‘psychological moment” for such ex- pansion.

Fleharty, people’s counsel for the Public Utilities Commission, revealed today that he is planning to request the Washington Gas Light and the Potomac Electric Power com- panies to extend the period of “grace’ | for the payment of gas and el light bills to 15 days. The present 10-day period of “grace,” Mr. Fleharty fcels, is working « hardship on many people in the Di trict, particularly the Government em- ployes, who are paid semi-monthly on the 1st and 15th. Usually the Federal workers, he said, wait until the final day on which payment of bills can be made without the addition of the customary 10 per cent penalty, and then find themselves without funds. A fiveday extension, he believes, would not cause any. seri- ous alteration in the bookkeeping ac- counts of the two utility companies. The proposed extension, Mr. Kle- harty pointed out, probahly would be more beneficial to electricity users Jegal. Assistant District,. Attorney Rebekah Greathouse appeared for the .

At the office of the Disirict attorney today it was poinged out that the find- ing of the coron®'s jury exonerating Policeman Campbell in the death was regarded as merely representative of the opinion of the jurors selected by the coroner to determine the cause of death and was not regarded as bind- ing upon any other branch of the local government. Exoneration by the cor- oner’s jury, in other words, is held not | to preclude action of the district at torney’s office in presenting the case to the grand jury any more than a holding of a prisoner for the coroner's Jury would be mandatory on the grand jury to return an indictment against the person held. Senator Asks Detais, Commissioner Dougherty today acknowledged receipt of the letter of Senator Edwards of New Jersey je- questing detailed information on the shooting of Hall. “I will endeavor to get these data for you as soon as possible,” Com- missioner Dougherty wrote.

Discrepancies Marked in Surveys of Palestine’s Greatest Disaster Since 1837. LONDON, July 13 (#).—While much has yet to be learned abhout the earth- quake in Palestine and Transjordania, it is clear that the catastrophe ex- ceeds any disaster in Palestine since the earthquake of 1837, when 4,000 persons peri Late reports from Jerusalem do not support the big estimate of more than 1,000 dead, cited in Cairo dispatches on the author of British military airmen, and there is no.means at present of checking such discrepancies as the official estimate of eight dead at Amman and the report of the Cair correspondent of the Daily Express that 300 persons were killed there. The authorities are reported to be doing their utmost to relieve the dis- ss, byt apparently are hampered 1a of modern communications and insufficient stores upon which to draw to help the stricken people. It is learned that British air force headquarters at Cairo has been or- dered to rush medical supplies to the devastated areas. Antiquities authorities, says the Cairo correspondent of the Daily Ex- press, are worried over the fate of n of Egypt’s celebrated monu- ment; should there be further shocks. During the last two years there have been a number of quakes of varying intensity. There have been two in the last 10 days. Kach time the center of the shocks grows nearer. The center of Monday's quake, ac- ~ording to estimates of the author- ities, was less than 300 miles dis- tant from Cairo, and they received reports that the temple at Karnak wis cracked in places.

So let us cut cor ners and let us “‘reduce to the absurd” | by going back to the primeval unit of the human race, the first family | group. and compare it with the race V. The primeval unit was en- self-sustaining and affection did extend beyond the family unit. Between units the rule was implacable vengeance, ambush and combat. Changes Have Come, ages have effected The units have formed big- bigger combinations until ations have been formed. The rule now is peace and combat is the exception. Friendship_is the rule, hatred the exception. Friendship has spread from nation to nation. The primeval unit being entirely self-sustaining could be entirely wiped out_without affecting a nearby unit. In fact, it meant something beneficial, | because it resulted in fewer people to feed on the hunting grounds. There were no specialists within the unit. The tribes in prehistoric France did | not even know of the existence of the tribes in America. Today not only are nations made up of specialists, farmers, lawyers and doctors who depend on each other, but nations have become specialists among mations, depending somewhat one upon the other. War Affected All The changes. ger and not affected somehow by the last war d hardly a home in France or Eng- and which did not suffer. Even the non-combatant nations were affected one way or another. When Hannibal waged war against Rome, Egypt did not suffer, but during our civil war there were bread riots in England. More and more delicate and inter- woven and interdependent have be- come the mechanism of civilization, { and it will become more and more so |in the future. The time will come when a great war would entirely jar to pieces this mechanism. There was poor transportation in primeval days, no friendship, no inter- dependence, no communication be- tween primeval man. Today trans- portation is’ getting quicker, inter. course is getting easier day by day, and friendship is getting closer and closer. A sclentific analysis of the effect on progress of war and peace will show that man can eventually make a sub- stitution for war; that the time is ripe for the nations of the world to make combinations for peace rather than combinations for war. Small things, pin_pricks, do not count when compared with the deeper currents of good will. I am not a sentimentalist about this thing.

A, Mumpher in a third floor room at 1309 H street on a charge of permitting gaming and released on §100 collateral, forfeited his collateral this morning when he failed to ap- pear in U.

The best indi- cation that Wyoming expects Mr. Coolidge to serve another term, Mr. Suilivan pointed out, was the faet that the price of wool has been going up for the past 30 days and the purchasers are buying for the future despite the high prices, which they would never do if they' thought the tarift on wool was likely to fall before lorz.

Marlow of Helena, Mont., former Republican national _committeeman from that State, who visited President Coolidge yesterday at the executive offices.

Late yesterday afternoon, accom: panied by Cecil Gideon, his guide, and one of the secret servica men, the President went for a 10-mile ride over the mountain trails. The ride was without incident, but when the Presi- dent arrived back at the lodge, two boys who live in the neighborhood, S and 10 years old, respectively, presented him with a basket of choice trout they had caught during the afternoon. Among the President's llers today was Senator Peter N beck of this State. The President will have as luncheon guests at the lodge tomorrow, Clarence M.
