Colonel Admits Pleasure.
The colonel said he was pleased at

speaker should be given the power
which he now holds when he is able
to control largely legislation by put

have all the committees selected by

that the new rules committee was
selected with a view of loyalty to the

The Nebraskan referred to his re-

he lugged out the old 16 to l ghost

Mr.. Bryan, "and 1t Is hardly neces-
sary for those who favored the res

qualification that time has complete

of money. which was the basis for
contention. The Republicans have
enjoyed the prestige and emoluments
of victory, and they should not be-
grudge us the pleasure we find in the
fact that their president is now COM
PEELED to admit that the scarcity of
money made low prices. He now
contends that increased prices were
mainly due to an increase in the cur

RECORDS SMASHED
AT INDIANAPOLIS
kincaid, i'm National, TraVerSeS
100 Miles i'm I:23:43, Lower
ing Chevr0Iefs Mark

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 27.-Rec-
ords went down before the onslaughts
of desperately driven cars in today's
races at the motor speedway, and the
new brick course justified all hopes of
its constructors. In three different
classes for American stock cars records
were lowered. The greatest victory
of the day was the 100 mile race for
cars of sol to $50 cubic inches piston
displacement, won by Kincaid in a
National in 1:23:43. The previous rec
ord set by Chevrolet in a Buick at At
lanta was 1:24:0S.
Ill fortune took this race away from
Dawson, driving Marmon. He led
the field from the tenth to the eighty
fifth mile and lost the lead by the foul
ing of a spark plug and could not re-
gain it. Kincaid. pounding down the
home stretch, barely escaped crashing
into the press stand when one of his
rear tires ripped off and was hurled
high in the air. By sheer strength and
nerve he held his car to the track.
In the five mile race for cars of the
same class as the 100 mile event Kin
caid broke another record, winning
over Dawson and Harroun, both driv-
ing Marmons, by a tremendous burst of
speed in the home stretch. His time
was 4:05, bettering the former record
by 40 seconds.
Harroun had his inning in the 10 mile
event for cars of 231 to 800 inches dis
placement. He won in SIG, smashing
the former record Of 9:03. Chevrolet,
driving Buick in the five mile race
for the little cars of 161 to 230 inches
displacement, won with brilliant dash
in 4:41, breaking the previous time of
5:13
The withdrawal of all the Buick and
Jackson entries because the technical
committee had barred several cars said
to exceed classifcations of power
threatened the success of the meet but
after several conferences the Buick
owners consented to re-enter those of
their cars that met the American auto
mobile association rules as interpreted
by the technical committee. Chevrolet
and Burman thus were saved to the
meet.
Good luck averted any serious acci-
dent today. The steering gear of Bar
ney Oldfields Knox broke as he was
trying out his motor before the first
event was called and he ran to the high
edge of the bank, but stopped safely.
The accident put him out of the races
today, but he is expected to be ready
for tomorrow's program. Fox, driving
a Pope Hartford. also had a narrow es-
cape when the steering gear of his car
broke and the car shot into the inner
ditch, but did not turn over.
The feature of tomorrow card will
be the 200 mile race, which was called
off last year because of death dealing
accidents.
