DAWSON WINS BIG
indianapolis RACE
Covers 500 Mile Auto Course
in b Hrs. Fl Min, 6 Sec.
sMAsHEs WORLDS RECORD
Ralph De Poi 1a's Car Breaks Down
When Six Miles Ahead on 46eth
MiIe-No Serious Acc. dents Occur
to Mar the Race.

Indianapolis Establishine a new
worlds record for a 500-mile race,
Joe Dawson, driving a National car,
today won the worlds greatest motor
event in contest remarkable in that
there were no serious accidents and
that despite the expectations of the
100000 spectators and wagers made
to the contrary, no one was killed
Dawson's time for the 500 miles
was 6 hours 81 minutes 6 seconds,
an average time of 1872 miles an
hour, new mark for the distance
on any kind of road or track. The
average time made last year was
74.6
To Ralph De Pama, hero of many
races, belongs much of the credit
for the record time and to him has
been extended the sympathy of those
who watched him lead the race I'M
til within four miles of the finish
At that time he was ten miles ahead
of Dawson, who was in second place,
and for hours it had been conceded
that the driver of the Mercedes car
would win, but with 49t hard earn
ed miles behind him, and with the
major portion of the $4,000 prize
less than four minutes in front, the
car which was far in the lead de-
veloped engine trouble, and so badly
did it limp the last four miles, De
Palma did not finish in the prize win
ming class.
Dawson, by winning, will get more
than $4,000, including the extras.
Second place, with its $4,000 in
prizes and some extras, was won by
Teddy Tetzlaff in a Fiat. Hughie
Hughes, driving a Mercer and one
of the favorites in the betting, won
third place and $4,000.

JOHN 0. ROCKEFELLER IS
GIVEN SEVERE CHILLING
John D. Subjected to Two Hours Gross
Exsrination-Proves an kdroIt
Witness.

New York, May 30-John d. Rookie
feller, retired head Of the dissolved
Standard Oil company, was placed on
the witness stand Tuesday to tell
whether he believed the company had
really been dissolved under the decree
OF the United States Supreme court.
The aged millionaire successfully par
rie1 severe cross examination, evading
direct answers to many questions, but
Indignantly denied all suggestions that
there had been any effort to evade the
decree of the court
Mr.. Rockefeller appeared as a wit
ness in the action brought nominally
by the state of Missouri to compel the
inspectors of the election of the stock
holders of the Waters-Pierce oil COM
pany at St. Louis last February to
vote the proxies of the Rockefeller
and other Standard Oil interests,
which had named Standard Oil men
as officers of the company
For two hours Mr. Rockefeller was
in the witness chair. He proved a
hard task for the adroit and skillful
Mr.. Untermyer. The lawyer could
have finished with the witness in a
few minutes had Mr. Rockefeller not
artfully and persistently avoided Civ
ing direct answers to simple ques-
lions. All Untermyer wanted to elicit
was why he had given his proxy to be
voted by men avowedly unknown to
him at the last annual election of the
directors of the Waters-Pierce Oil
company. But Mr.. Rockefeller never
did tell, except in vague, unsatisfac-
tory sort oflway.
At the conclusion OF the examination
Mr.. Untermyer declared that he had
finally achieved what he had started
out to do. This was the admission by
Mr.. Rockefeller that "a group of gen.
tlemen" are still directing the policies
OF Standard OIL from the same old
stand at 26 Broadway.
