Indianapolis, Ind, Special Three
more lives were sacrificed Saturday
in the mad speed carnival which has
inaugurated the great Indianapolis
motor speedway. One mechanician
and two spectators paid the penalty
of their lives to satisfy the extreme
desire for speed. The fatal accident
came when a National car, driven by
Charles Merz in the 300-mile race.
lost. tire and crashed through a
fence. into a group of spectators,
spreading death and destruction in
the wake of it's wild plunge.
The dead: Claude Kellum, of In
dianapolis, mechanician in the Nat
ional car; Ora Jollefe, Trafalgar,
Ind; an unidentified man.
Besides the three deaths, two
serious injuries resulted during the
day. Henry Tapking, Of Indianap-
oils, was seriously injured in the fatal
wreck, sustaining compound frac-
ture of his right arm, broken nose
and several scalp wounds. Bruce
Keene, the driver of Marmon car
in the same race, crashed into post
shortly after the National wreck and
was badly cut about the neck and
head.
After the second accident the Of
fcials decided to call off the 300-mile
race when the leading cara Jack
son with Lee Lynch at the wheel
had covered 235 miles. Ralph de
Palma, in Fiat, was second and
Stillment in Marmon was third. The
race will be declared no contest and
the great Indianapolis motor speed
wav trophy will be raced for again.

By strange freak OF fortune Merz
escaped from the terrible wreck with
hardly scratch. He fell under the
car when it turned a somersault
through the air and :!own into gul.
ley near the side Of the track. He
was in imminent danger of being
burned to death but by extraordinary
luck he was able to shut off the en-
CINE and thus save himself from q
horrible death.
Kellum was hurled out Of the car
and landed in the gulley some dis
tance from the twisted mass of steel
and iron that once had been speed
machine.
The three deaths raises the toll cf
the speedway to seven lives this
week. William A. Bourpue and his
mechanician, Harry Holeombe, Of the
Knox racing team, were killed in an
accident in the 250-mile race Thurs
day. Cliff Literal, a Stoddard-Day-
ton mechanician, was killed by being
hit by big racing machine while on
the way out to the speedway. On
Thursday Elmer Champion, 6-year-
old boy, was killed by the automobile
of DIR. Clark E. Day, Of this city,
while the latter was on his way to
the speedway for the, first days race.
. A. pail of grief hangs over the city
ard the more reckless automobilists
drive more carefully through the
streets than they dill earlier in the
week. The frightful penalty paid for
e few broken speed records is greater
than was bargained when Indianapo-
lis threw down the gates Of its
"greatest speedway in the world" ;.
