The GREAT AUTOMOBILE RACE

utes and Ssconds-Mechanie
Dickson Killed.

Motor Speedway, Indianapolis, Ind.
| For fame, fortune and the glory OF
the automobile one life was sacrificed
and several men were injured Tues
| day in the first 5OO-mile race on a
speedway, the greatest test of skill
and endurance in the history of the
sport of motor racing, won by Ray
Harroun, driving a Marmon car. in
the time of hours, Il minutes and
seconds. Closely pressing. Harroun for
the victory were Ralph Muford, with
kLozier, who finished second, and
David Bruce Brown. who drove his
Fiat under the wire good third.
Seventy-five thousand persons roar
ed encouragement to the forty pilots
that started the race.
In the most serious accident of the
day, S. P. Dickson of Chicago, me-
chanician for Arthur Greiner, driving
an Amplex, lost his life in an upset
on the back stretch.
At the first 100 miles Bruce Brown
led, Milford was second and Tetzlaff
was third. At $50 miles Harroun had
come up from the trailers and was in
second place. At 1870 miles Harroun
had taken the LEAD, which he held to
the end.
At 200 miles Harroun was first,
Bruce Brown second and Mulford
third
At 800 miles IIarroun was first, Null
ford second and Bruce Brown third
At 400 miles and $50 miles and at
the finish it stood: Harroun, Mulford
and Bruce Brown.
But in between these last three
points in the contest Bruce Brown and
Milford "see-sawed" for second place
until not even the judges were certain
until the last lap who had taken it.
Both Brown and Mulford were at all
stages of the race dangerous con-
tenders for the lead and one delay
of but little more than time to change
tires by Harroun would have meant
certain loss of the contest.
Toward the latter part of the race
the three leaders were little more
than 80 seconds apart All three hand
led their cars in mastery fashion.
Mulford lost considerable valuable
time through tire trouble, and Bruce
Brown was off the track more times
than Harroun.

with their winnings, follow:

Increase in State Assessments.

That the new assessment of property
in Maryland made in accordance with
the provisions of the General Assembly
Act. passed at the last session of the
Legislature, will exceed 81, ooo. 900. 900 is
indicated by the first of the reports filed
at Annapolis from the County Commits
sioners, showing the result of the work
that has been in progress for the last
year.
1t is roughly estimated that the in
crease will approach so per cent, and
that il will certainly exceed so per cent.
The figures for 1910 are $3.50 $685.. so
that, figuring on a 20 per cent increase,
the taxable basis will be more than
1000, 600. 900.

Now, then, the great majority of the

high protective tariff and they are right.
for there are few, Democrats who are in

the passage of low tariff bill under
President Cleveland in SOS, and in de-
feating it they doomed the party TO de-

party have the courage TO use the free
