Jects would Indignantly deny it.

Now it would have been a fine thing
to have come forward quickly with
financial succor to the stricken Ital.
ians, but to do it personally would
have required drawing on his private
purse, and the kings bankers will tell
you frankly that he is too hard up at
present to give away any considerable
sum. If parliament had responded in
this emergency it might have relieved
the situation, but parliament has
shown no disposition to do so up to this
writing, and probably will not. True,
the difficulty in relation to the grant
for the national exchequer is increased
by the fact that parliament is not in
session, and that the ministers are SO
widely scattered that for many of
them to be summoned to a meeting
would involve considerable delay.
There are, however, sufficient members
OF the privy council near at hand to
advise His Majesty to call a special
meeting of parliament, but they are
not likely to act unless the king takes
the initiative.
But, aside from any future action
in the way of a relief measure, King
Edward doubtless feels that he has
been deprived of an opportunity to do
"a little stroke of politics." What
ever the sum involved, it would have
earned for the king the lasting graft
tude of the Italian monarch and his
people. This bit of sentiment natur-
ally would have strengthened the ties
between the two governments, and just
now Britain needs all the allies she can
get.

Partners Time-Race Track
Repaired, Is Now
Safe

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug 2O.-Strang
and Zengel shared in the honors or the
second days automobile racing meet
on the new Indianapolis speedway to-
day. The former won the fastest 100
miles ever run in this country. The
latter established new ten-mile rec
ord. Not "a single serious accldent
marred the days racing.
The feature was the easy victory OF
Strang, who drove Buick in the lOO-
mile race
Strang led all the way and won by
about ten miles in the exceptional time
of 1:32:48 5-10. At first it was thought
that this was new 1oO-mile record for
this country, but the officials an
nounced that they had decided to allow
the mark of 1928 $40 made by
Chevrolet in the first 100 miles in the
250-mile race yesterday stand, despite
the fact that Chevrolet did not finish
the race Strang, however, beat Chew
rolet's records for nearly all the dis
tance between 20 and 100 miles.
Strang's time was more than eleven
minutes better than the 100-mile track
record made by Burman at Columbus,
O., on July of this year. Burman's
record was made on a one-mile track.
Dewitt, in a Buick, finished second to
Strang in the long race in 1:41:32 $40
and Stillman, in Marmon, was third
in 1:42:3I 6-lO.
The Buick (Chevrolet), Marion (Man-
son) and Marion (Stutz) dropped out
early in the race.
Strang never stopped once during
the 100 miles, his car working like a
carefully adjusted piece of delicate
mechanism. His pace was uniform
throughout. He increased his lead all
the way and was never once forced to
take rivals dust.
The American Automobile association
will not withdraw its sanction from the
meet as its officials have done every
thing in their power to make the
course safe. Every inch of 1t was oiled
and tarred and the bad spots repaired
as much as possible.
Before Strang started on his wonder
full race the honors had gone to Zen
gel, who established a new 10-mile rec
ord in his new Chadwick. This was
the second time in the meet that this
record had been broken. Chevrolet re-
duced Oldhelds mark of 9:12 3-5 yes

$3.50 410, and Zengel slashed this to
1923 2-10 in the 10-mile free-for-all to-
day.
Aitken in a National who finished
second in that event. had the honor of
breaking Chevrolet's old mark, as his
time was 1886 Clio.
The 50-mile race was practically
walkaway for Wright and Schwitser
in the Stoddard-Dayton cars. They
were the only drivers to finish out of
the five starters Wright won easily,
taking the lead after the 10-mile mark
was passed and holding it to the end.

the body after dragging it to a hole

COMMODORE CONN GETS 40
POUND FISH
BATTLES WITH BEAUTY FOR SIX
HOURS
Southern Fishermen Turn Out In Large
Numbers and Many Strikes Are
Made, but Only One Is
Successful
Especial to The Herald.1

AVALON, Cal, Aug. 2O.-Determined
to bring his catch of tuna to gaff or
fight it all night, Commodore c. G.
Conn hooked a fish off Seal rocks and
finally brought it to gaff after six
hours of battle. The tuna weighed
10 pounds. Other anglers have had
several strikes today but Commodore
Conn was the only successful partlcl-
pant. Five launches have not reported
yet. Early this morning every 1lshlng
launch and rowboat in Avalon bay was
out after tuna.
TUNA, tuna, tuna has come!" was
the cry to be heard on every hand. Al
though local fishermen trolled the wa
ters all night for flying fish, it was not
in their power to supply the excessive
demand, the flying fish being used for
bait by anglers who catch tuna. Bill
Hard cues and in some cases hand lines
were used but none of the anglers
have yet been successful.
In his catch Commodore Conn used a
standard tuna outfit, 24-strand line,
1900 feet in length Repeatedly the fish
would take off the line foot by foot,
and, reversing the engine of his launch,
Captain Farnsworth enabled his ang-
Ter to fight the fish to better advantage
and recover some of the lost line. The
fish towed the boat for over nine miles.
The sea during the afternoon was
choppy and made standing in the boat
very difficult.
For the past twelve months Commo-
dore Conn has searched the waters of
the Pacific coast in his palatial yacht
Comfort for tuna. Ofttimes he has
taken a cruise around the channel
islands which has lasted for two or
three weeks. He is an enthusiastic
angler and is greatly surprised that the
prodigal fish which has been absent
from these waters for five years should
be caught so near home. Much en-
thusiasm is manifested at this second
catch of fish in two days.

Wright passed him.
The 5-mile free-for-all handicap was
the most closely contested race of the
day and resulted in victory for Merz,
who drove a National, and his team
mate, Aitken, finished one-tenth of a

really made the better time, as his
handicap was 10 seconds, while Merz
received an allowance of 20 seconds
