IRsernational News Special

International News Special
 Washington, May 30.-Chairman Oscar Underwood of the Ways and Means committee representing the Champ Clark organization in the House, has openly revolted against the assumed party leadership of Col. William Jennings Bryan. In an in terview today MT. Underwood bitterly assails Bryan for his efforts to pro- mote strife among the House Demo- crats over the wool schedule.
 Bryan came here yesterday and ax- hibited among his friends the proof sheets of a forthcoming editorial in his magazine, attacking the wool sche- dule, which the Democratic Ways and Means committee has just agreed on. After swaying back aud forth between a moderate duty and free raw wool, Bryan has a length decided in favor D fthe latter and is now engaged in sn effort to alienate the House Demo- crats from their support of the Clarke Underwood organization and dictate the course which shall be taken in e. gard to wool. It was learned that he event went so far when he was hee as to advise his friends to bolt the Democratic caucus if they found that the leaders were determined to put through the bill carrying a duty cn wool
 MT. Underwood in his statement hits out from the shoulder and among other things proves that Bryan SUD- ported and voted for in the Wilson, rates that he is now attacking.

 The race went on. There was no let up on the part of single driv- CT in the race, possibly more speed was applied to the racing machines. In today's races Harround went more miles at a high rate of speed than any human being as ever travelled in any kind, of a mechanical contrivance.

 Washington, May 30.--On the sworn evidence of John w. Gates,
 case has already been made out against J. Pierpont Morgan for con- spiracy under the Sherman act. As this testimony will go on the reGords and be laid before the attorney gen. eral at the proper time for action, it is regarded by the Stanley Steel ir- vestigators, as extremely likely .hat MT Morgan will desire to present lis side of the case whether he is reached by subpoena lor not. The same applies to Theodore Roosevelt and all others whose honesty CT judgment has been attacked by the startling evidence of MT. Gates.

C. l.. W-Reese, Rabbi Ephraim Frisch and Hon. W. F. Coleman
 Prof. A. B. Moore, who established the Manual draining department in tho High School two years ago, was re- elected as the head of this depart ment. This is considered a, most inn portant move.

 100000 People Witnessed the Great Spectacle.

International News Special
 Indianapolis, Ind, May 30.-Nearly 100000 persons from every state in the Union, saw forty of the most in- trepid automobile drivers in the coun- try court death on the A. A. U. sau- cer shape Indianapolis speedway to- day.
 They saw Raymond Harroun, driv- ing a Marmom car, win the big speed event, driving the five hundred miles of the race in less than seven hours or at an average rate of speed of 75 miles an hour, including stops. Mar mon was second; Bruce Brow, third. The total purse Was s25,O0o, winners share, s10,000, side prizes to winners, and side prize of $4.250.
 These hundred thousand per sons saw one man dashed to dealh. They saw seven others more pr less seriously injured. The spectators cheered but little, their nerves were too tensely drawn during the progress of the race to give vent to their em- oti3ns in this way. The crowd was not disappointing.
 The life that went out in a swift second was that of Samuel P. Dixon, mechanician on the Amplex car, driv- 1,yr A,,fL C.,i 0f Griemer luckily escaped. His in- juries consist of broken arm and a few bruises. All of the injured were taken to the temporary hospital on the grounds.
 Throughout the day the sombre- hued under.aker's wagon moved across the field in plain view of .he assembled thousands at intervals. Ambulances dashed to. and from from one side sof the track to the other. White garbed nurses and doctors md surgeons, dressed in white, mingled with the crowd and gave assistance to the injured. It was strange set ting to the huge holiday crowd on pleasure bent.
 The race itself was a thrilling spectacle, especially the remarkably close finish between the two leading cars As Harround sped across the line for the finish the suspense and the tention under which everyone on the grounds had labored for hours, seemed to be relieved. A mighty shout went up, 1t was more shout of relief than one of jubilation.
 Dixon is Killed.
 Strangely enough iihe only fatal accident of the day came almost with the start of the race and 1t was wit messed by comparatively few lof the 100000 persons on the grounds. Griemer. a reckless driver and one to whom the word fear is unknown, had reached the thirteenth lap of his race. Dixon sat by his side. The low hung car was sweeping around the track I,n the far side at tremendous speed
