Give JOE DAWSON
FIGHTING CHANCE
Doctors Find His Body Fright
fully Bruised and Collar
bone Broken.

Indianapolis, Ind, June Joe Daw
son, the driver of No. 26. Marmon. who
was thought fatally injured in an acci
! dent during the 500 mile race here
| Saturday, has a fighting chance for
his life, according to doctors. who
were able to examine him for the first
time today The internal injuries were
found to be serious, although not nee
| essarily fatal. The drivers body was
I frightfuIly- bruised and his collar-bone
broken.
An official investigation of the cause
of the accident shows that Dawson de-
liberately threw his car off the course
to save the life of Ray Gilhooley, driv-
er of the ilI-fated Isotta.
Gilhooley, according tc the testimony
of several eye witnesses, was crawl
ing from under the wreck of his car
directly across the track towards the
outer retaining wall.
Dawson was travelling around the
course at an average of 81 miles an
hour. His car was high on the track,
his speed having forced it up on the
turn He intended, it is thought, to
uT1Ne 10 lue TlSHI Oh lIe ISOltd lib
would have given him plenty of clear
ance and prevented danger of piling up
the puNsuing cars.
Suddenly the crawling form of Gill
hooley thrust itself into the opening
between the Isotta and the retaining
wall. Rather than hit him. Dawson
clutched the emergency brake and
threw his weight on the steering
wheel, just clearing the wreck.
The impetus carried Dawson's car
to the side of the course, where it
overturned.
The name of Dawson is on every lip
today. His gallant self-sacrifice lsfs
made him the hero of the race. His
room at the hospital is bower of flow |
ers. sent by his fellow drivers. Daw |

ment for the family yesterday through

falling through.

Prosperity Would Come,
if Interests Desired it,
He Asserts.
TARIFF NOT A FACTOR
Gloom of Railway Offices Hello
Responsible for Depression
Affecting Business.

Washington. D. c., June 1.-Presi-
| dent Wilson again expressed the con-
viction that any present unsatisfac-
tory condition of business was not
general. but was less felt in the Unit
ed States than in any other part OF
the world. The president reiterated
the view at the first conference he had
with the Washington correspondents
when the Mexican situation was acute.
Questions, however, on that subject
rwere barred.
The president said that it was his
impression that any unsatisfactory
condition centered largely about the
railway Offices and that was reflected
in the steel industry and other indus
tries closely allied, which depend es-
pecially upon railway development for
prosperity.
The president believes that prosper
ity would come with jump If manu-
facturers believed it was coming. He
does not believe that the tariff had
anything to do with the depression
Secretary Redfeld's statistics on ex-
president as proof.
The president said he did not un-
derstand that the Clayton trust bill
was designed to grant labor organiza-
tions any privileges they do not now
enjoy.
1t is the earposer-eflthe act he un-
derstands, to define the rights of la.
Dor organizations more clearly. 1t is
not the understanding of the presidtnt
that labor organizations are to be Civ
en- any privileges denied other organ
izations.
Norris Resolution Referred
By vote of 33 to 20 the senate re-
ferred to the interstate commerce
committee the Norris resolution ask
ing the attorney general to state if
the New York Central lines constitute
a com bination in violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law, and if he intends
to proceed against it,
The effect of the Norris resolution to
the commerce committee is to delay
action. Norris objected to that course.
The senate today resumed debate son
the Clayton trust bill, taking up the
section relating to labor unions
The house adopted the Webb amend
nent to the Clayton trust bill provid-
ng that no labor or farmers organiza.
ions should be held to be a combina-
ion or conspiracy in restraint of trade.
Ask CIemency for Iron Workers.
A delegation headed by Representa-
ives German and SABBATH of Illinois
presented to President Wilson a peti.
ion signed by 100000 laboring men
isking for clemency for President
Ryan and % other iron workers con
'icted in the dynamite conspiracy.
Wilson did not indicate whether he
would interfere.
