THOMAS IS WINNER
OF SPEEDWAY RACE
Barney oldfield, Finishing Fifth,
Is First American to
Cross Line.

Indianapolis, Ind, June 2.-Rene
THOMAS, driving a French car, won
the fourth annual 500-mile race on the
indianapolis motor speedway Saturday.
miles We're broken. The first American
to finish was Barney Oldfield, who
crossed the wire in fifth place.
Thomas time was 6 hours 3 minutes
45 99-100 seconds. The winner MAIN
tanned an average speed of S2.47 miles
an hour. The former record of 6 hours
81 minutes 3-100 seconds was estab-
lished by Joe Dawson in 1912. The new
record established Saturday was due in
a large measure to the weather condi-
tions which prevailed.
Arthur Duray finished second, seven
minute after the winner. Arthur
Guyot, teammate of Thomas, was the
third driver to be given the checkered
nag, and Jules Goux, winner of the
1913 race. finished in fourth place six
minutes ahead of Oldfeld.
Six men We're injured, none of them
seriously, during the contest. Joe Daw-
son suffered a broken collar bone and
MINOR injuries when his ear turned
over on the south turn, after trying to
dodge the wrecked machine of Ray
Gilhooley. We're Barnes. Dawson's
m~echanician, was hurt and Gilhooley
and Nino Zonai, his mechanician, also
suffered minor injuries. Jean Chas-
sagne and Albert Mitchell, handling an
English ar. limped away from their
machine after it rolled over on a turn.
Duray thrilled the spectators by his
sensational effort to catch Thomas in
the latter part of the contest, Goux
seemed always to be a contender for
first place. Thomas made one stop at
the pits, Duray two n Guyot one. In
the first 100 miles some drivers stopped
on almost every lap. The race began
to settle down after the 100-mile mark
was set and the average speed in
creased.
Thomas drove the last 100 miles at
an average of more han 81 miles an
hour. The showing of Bob Burnham
was a disappointment, as was that of
Tetzlaff. Disbrow, Mulford, Cooper and
other stars. 1t is estimated that 10O,-
600 persons saw the contest. Thomas
was given a hearty cheer when he drew
up to he pits and embraced his mech
an1cian. but during the last so miles
the crowd was shouting for Oldfield
and Urging him on to regain the hon
ors America lost to France over the
same course last year.
Finish of Others.
Joseph Christians, in a Belgian car,
finished sixth; Harry Grant, in an
English machine. was seventh; Keene
and Rodgers, in an American car,
placed eighth, and William Carlson was
ninth. e. V. Rickenbacher, in an

CORRUPTION REICNS
IN COLORADO AYERS
JUDGE Ben LINDSEY
Violence Has Been Met With Violence
He says-capital Has Used Every
Means to Defeat Laws,
He Declares.

New York, June 1.-"Colorado has
perfected the science Of corrupting
men" declared Judge Ben B, Lindsey,
before the federal industrial relations
committee here. Judge Lindsey has
declared false certain statements made
BY Mai. Edward ]. Boughton, Judge adj
yocate of the Colorado military dis
trict- He was called to the stand to
give his views Of the Colorado strike.
The situation in Colorado is now
digger than a strike, he said. The
outbreak there is merely a local symp-
tom of wider disorder
Judge Lindsey said 500 children in
Colorado coal mines had been made or
phanss by explosions that resulted from
earelessness and failure to install or
binary safety appliances.
The witness then recited a number OF
Incidents which, he said, had led in
svitably to the final protest of the mine
workers.
There are no more lawless public
corporations in the country than In
Colorado" he said.
"E. Al. Colburn, president Of the
mine owners association, is also press
tdent of the Children's Aid society
continued Judge Lindsey drily. "Hs
has been one of the nos bitter OPP
ponents of the passage of child labor
laws
Colorado" said Judge Lindsey, has
perfected the science Of corrupting
men. Its judges, Its supreme court
Judges. are owned like office boys. Its
lawyers, it's business men, all are
owned. There are. of course, fearless
men, but they have paid a heavy sac
tiice for their fearlessness."
In referring to Major Boughton,
Judge Lindsey said:
1T makes no difference whether he
Is attorney for owners Of gold mines
pr coal mines. If he is acting for Col
ourn. his sympathies must be with the
owners.
THE government has allowed men to
be recruited in the militia that should
| not be in any military organization"
Judge Lindsey had with him a huge
package of stenographic reports: THE
capitalists in Colorado" he went on
have carried out the most perfidious
ieals to control the agencies of the
law, and not only make the laws, but
prevent the enforcement of laws. This
Is the most terrific violence; it is yio-
lence that will stir Up coal dust al
over the country. 1T should not sur
prise anyone that this violence has
been met with violence"

MEDIATORS INSIST
REBEL ARMY MUST
ACCEPT ARMlSTICE

Niagara Falls, Ont. June 2.-After a
two hour conference between the
mediators and the American delegates
today, the question of admitting the
conSt1tutlonaliSts into the negotiations
for the settlement of the Mexican
problem, was still undecided. 1t was
learned, however, that the desire of the
united States to have the con-
st~ltutionalists heard before a final
agreement is secured here, has i'm
pressed the three mediators and they
are taking a more favorable view Of
it.
After today's conference Justice
Lamar dictated the following state
men
I'VE had a conference this morning
IN which we continued the discussion
OF a point on which we had not
agreed on Saturday. The matter is
still under discussion but we found in
our talk today we were not so far
apart in our construction of certain
phases and we were still quite hope
full"
The mediators have taken the posi-
ton that they will admit the consti-
tutionalists, if they are ready to agree
to an armistice with Huerta and will
come prepared to discuss internal as
well as international phases of the
situation. While the last note from
Carranza did not make clear his atti-
tude with respect to these points, it
was understood the Washington gov
eminent had obtained since then more
information about the attitude of the
constitutionalist chief, which had beer
laid before the mediators.
The American delegates to the Mexi-
can mediation conference We're delayed
in reaching the Canadian side today by
the receipt of a long cipher message

nationalist representations. The Ameri-
car delegates, it was reported, woulG
await the decision of the mediators or
this point before delivering the Wash
ington governments answer to the
essentials of the peace plan previously
outlined.
The Mexican delegates also received
a long message today in which General
Huerta was understood to have giver
his views on proposals already made
and to have added other suggestions
These may be in the form of counter
proposals.
The Mexican delegates had reported
to Mexico City the situation brought
about by the injection of the constitu-
tionalist phase in the negotiations.
