Indianapolis, Ind, May 31.-The men
who were injured in the five hundred
mile Speedway motor care race Tues
day are all at the Methodist hospital.
The conditions of the patients today
vary from slight injuries to injuries
of a serious nature.
Harry Knight, driver of the West
colt car. who was injured in smash
up near the judges stand, is said to
be in an extremely serious condition.
When Knight was taken away in an
ambulance it was thought he was on
ly bruised and shaken. Surgical ex-
animation by DR.. Allen, in charge OF
the medical corps at the Speedway,
showed that knight was badly injured
about the head. There are grave
fears as to his recovery. However.
at the hospital, Knight was said to
show slight improvement this after.
noon.
Arthur Grenier, the young million.
aire of Chicago. is badly bruised in
addition to having broken leg, as
the result of an accident in which
Dickson was killed.

AEROPLANE MEET
IS A POSSIBILITY
Commercial Club Will Take
Some Definite Action on
Monday Evening.

At the meeting of the Commercial
club next Monday evening a definite
decision will be reached whether an
aviation exhibition will be held in this
city under the auspices of the club
and the date of holding it, ii it is de-
cided to promote one. The matter
seems to hinge entirely on whether an
enclosed ground of proper size can be
secured. A representative of the
Wright Brothers of Dayton, was in the
city a short time ago comforting with
Secretary Charles w. Jordan of the
Commercial club and it was found that
satisfactory arrangements could be
made with the famous aviators for the
appearance of several of their flyers
provided a suitable ground was Sc
cured.
Secretary Jordan announced today
that he would confer with officials of
the Richmond Driving association re-
garding the possibility of it joining
with the club in fencing in the old
driving park east of the city. The
park is thought to be the only ground
suitable for the aviation exhibit, but
the fact that it is not enclosed pre-
cludes the possibility of it being used
in it's present condition. Reid Field
at Earlham college was pronounced
too small by the Wright brothers rep
resentative and it is believed that Ath-
letic park is not large enough.
Depends on Grounds.
If arrangements can be perfected
with the Driving association to fence
in the old Driving park, Secretary Jor-
dan believes that the Commercial club
will bring the Wright brothers air
men to this city for an exhibition.
The Wright brothers representative
insisted that the ground where the ex-
hibition will be given be enclosed for
the reason that no money could be
raised unless this was done. He said
that everybody would be anxious to
see the machines at close range and
the percentage of people to witness
the f.~ss..ts from without the grounds
would be small.
The terms asked by the Wright
brothers are said to be very reason
able One of the committeeman ap-
pointed by the Commercial club to
look into the matter declared that
they were willing to take all the risk
concerning the attendance, the only
thing they demanded being grounds
wherA it is possible to charge admis-
sion.
Plans talked over with the aviator S
representative call for flights to this
city by Ghe air-men from Dayton and
return flights to that city. Such
flighss would be of magnitude to
command the attention of the entire
middle west. The exhibition in this
city would cover period of two days.
1t is considered probable that
should the Commercial club decide on
holding the exhibition it may select
July 4 as the date. As the demands
for a safe and sane Fourth increase
with the approach of that holiday, the
opinion spreads that the exhibition
would constitute very good celebra
ton of the day for Richmond and dc
away to a large extent with the Gus
tom of firing dangerous explosives
Several members of the Commercial
club are in favor of having the exhi
bition on that date If at all This
phase of the matter will probably al
so be considered at the meeting mex,
Monday evening.

NO ACTION TAKEN.

Washington. May 3l.-Whether in
dividual defendants in the Tobacco
Trust case are to be criminally prose
cuted or whether they will escape
prosecution was still undecided by
the department OF justice today. BY
the terms Of the decision the govern.
ment can proceed criminally against
all Of the tweoty.nine persons named
~ defendants. The case is now being
carefully considered by experts OF the
department OF justice and meantime
neither Attorney General Wickersham
nor any of his assistants will make
any statement as to the probable
course of the government. No deci-
sion on that point IL likely to be
made for several days. In respect
to criminal prosecutions the Tobacco
Trust IL said to differ somewhat from
the Standard Oil case. In tho latter
Attorney General Wickersham said
that no criminal prosecutions were un.
der way. but declined to say positively
that none were contemplated. Ger.
tain questions regarding the applica-
tion Of the statute Of limitations enter
into both cases. The legal problems
involved are very complicated. The
men who will have to face criminal
trials. II such are ordered by the de.
partment Of justice. are among the
greatest financial figures In the coun
try, including Thomas Fortune Ryan

STORY OF THE RACE.


Indianapolis. Ind, May 31.-Almost
like flash of lightning Ray Harroun,
plotting the yellow Marmon wasp,
crossed the tape late Tuesday after
noon, winner of the 5OO-mile interna-
tional automobile sweepstakes race on
the Motor Speedway Course. Finish
ing second to him at a death-inviting
pace came Ralph Milford at the wheel
of a Lozier, but he was five minutes
and thirty-eight seconds away. Time
of the winner was hours Al minutes
and seconds.
Close to Milford was David Bruce
Brown. New York driver, who seemed
earlier in the day to have the contest
as good as won in the Italian-made
Fiat. Bruce-Brown and Mulford drove
to their limit in the last 100 miles, and
at times they were not more than so
seconds behind the flying Harroun,
but they never succeeded in passing
him. Harroun, descendant of an Ara
bian family, took the lead at about
the eighteenth lap. Once he landed
in front of the flying field he never
yielded.
Never Varied From CVurse.
If his driving had not been marve-
lous he would not have been the CEN
ter of attraction, for he was not sen
sational in his methods. Like we'll
aimed shot from a rifle he never vari-
ed from his course. The precision
with which he drove seemed almost
uncanny.
He picked a path and held to 1t,
reeling off mile after mile at from IS
to 100 miles an hour without making
a single mistake. In the midst OF all
the tragedy, danger and excitement
the grim face of the Wasp" pilot did
not change expression. He was a:
the wheel to win, and he justified the
predictions that had made him the
favorite over the most classic field
that ever started to annihiiate speed
with gasoline-driving machine.
Won Honors Driving Alone.
Without mechanician and alone
| in the most rakish-looking craft of the
lot he outmaneuyered and outdrove
the most famous drivers in the world
Only four times did he stop at the pit
He changed but four tires and was not
out of the running more than five or
six minutes from start to finish He
gave way for few laps to w. Pat
schke, a relief man, but he was at tne
wheel during the terrible grind OF
more than $50 miles As far as Har.
rounw as concerned, he appeared to
slip in and out of death traps as light.
ly and easily as though they had been
laid merely for the purpose Of seeing
how near he could come without be
ing caught.
! He established new worlds record
for $50 miles. making that distance In
hours 90 minutes and 20 seconds
The record for the distance was held
by Joe Horan in a Lozier. Horar
made $50 miles in 3 hours 26 minutes
and 15 seconds at Atlanta last year.
In the gruelling finish, where it was
thought that the speed maryels would
weaken, not only Harroun, but Mul
ford. DePalma with the Simplex, Spen
Ger Wishart with the famed Mercedes
Bruce-Brown with the Fiat. Jones with
the Amplex and others, were cutting
loose with miles that were the tastes,
ever driven in long-distance races

A SOUND LAW.

At Des Moines the city officers,
acting after being legally advised,
have held that an editor cannot be
even a member Of non-salaried
commission, if he accepts advertis-
ing from corporations doing bust
ness with the city. D. H. Caldwell,
publisher of the Unionist, labor
paper, was a member of the city's
civil service commission. In the
capacity of publisher, he accepted
ads from various corporations; just
as any newspaper does, and this IS
held to unfit him for office. The
Des Moines plan humbug was never
better shown up in its bumbuggery
than in this play of virtue. MI.
Caldwell cannot run his business
without such advertising, at least
to throw it out would be a heavy
loss, hence he has resigned.-Iowa
City Republican.
The Des Moines plan has nothing
to do with the thing which the Re-
publican complains of. According
to Iowa statutes a member of city
council, a county board of supervfs
ors, school director or other Of
ficer, cannot hold such office when
corporation in which he is inter.
ested has anything to sell to the
city, county or school district. al
the case may be. It Is presumed
that such officer, being interested
personally. In the price paid for
goods or commodities furnished by
the corporation, might be Influenced
unduly and led to accept goods st
a higher price than he would II not
personally interested. The Freeman
Tribune believes the law is sound
and hopes 1t will be enforced to the
letter all over the state. What
right has a coal operator, for in
stance, to sit in the council cham
Der and buy coal OF himself with the
peoples money? Is 1t not a fact
that a man who is a stakeholder in
lumber company might be undu.y
Influenced IL a member Of the board
of supervisors when using the coun-
tvs money to buy lumber? Then
why should publisher be permitted
to buy advertising OF himself when
purchasing 1t as member OF an
elective body? A few years ago a
company was organized in Webster
City for the purpose Of securing a

If we were responsible for the Des

would try to keep that paper on the

The Register and Leader seems tc
be taking a pretty good view Of the
situation and it is big enough and
broad enough to be on the side Of
the fence with Taft when in its
Judgment Taft is right and on the
other side when Taft is wrong. The
Register and Leader is fully justified
in being disguised at the recent
Massachusetts address of the presi.
dent. The Register and Leader has
opinions of its own and expresses
them just as freely and just as fully
as circumstances demand. We have
