mortal Day.

Inc time looks near when the famous
Indianapolis speedway would fail to draw
the big eastern race drivers and the eyes
of the entire motor world to its annual
Memorial day sweepstakes classic.
The success of the National CAPITAL
Motor Cycle Club in securing some of the
famous American pilots to take part in
the motor races scheduled for Benning

runner of the scramble for noted race
pilots on the big holiday, after the Phila-
delphia speedway, now under course
of construction, has been completed and
an annual race meet established in sew
eral other large cities.
Long Chances Not Attractive.
That the drivers are not so anxious to
take a possible 4O-to-1 chance. even
though the stakes are large, is evidenced
by the entry of Eddie Hearne of Chicago.

DELAY OF BUDGET
LAID TO WILSON
Precedence of Tolls Bill Over
Sundry Civil Excuse of
Democrats.
fFrom The Tribune Bureau

Washington, July 14.-In a speech in
his own defence in the House late to-
day, representative Fitzgerald, chair
man of the Appropriation Committee
placed responsibility upon the Presi-
dent for the delay in the passage OF
the annual appropriation bills. Mr.
Fitzgerald did not refer to the Presi'
dent by name, but the inference was
unmistakable when he asserted that
distinguished gentlemen" had insisted
that the tolls repeal bill and the trus'
programme take precedence over sup
ply measures.
Mr.. Fitzgerald's peppery speech wa:
caused by an attack upon democratic
inefficiency" by Mr.. Gillett, ranking
Republican of the Appropriations Com
mittee, who commented upon the rae,
that it has been necessary to adop'
resolutions continuing the old appro
priations for several government de-
partments. ave always knew that the
Democratic party was incapable OF al

peal bill. My advice was not needed

gentlemen the danger that would at
tend giving the tolls bill the right OF
way over the legislative budget. Again
| protested in caucus against the rule

dence over the sundry civil bill. My
advice in that particular was ignored
The responsibility for the delay lies
elsewhere, not with the Committee or

The debate developed that during the
sixteen years the Republicans were IL

appropriation bills had been passed or

Gillett.
Earlier in the day Mr.. Mum haC
refused unanimous consent for thu
consideration of a resolution continu
ing the old appropriations covered
by the sundry civil, legislative, Ind
ian and District of Columbia budgets
This so frightened the Democrats tina
hurried conferences were held and al
agreement reached on the District an'
legislative budgets, leaving only tn,
sundry civil and Indian bills dead
locked in conference. Mr.. Nam
threatened to force the Rules Com
mittee to bring in a special rule TO

Inasmuch as Democrats of the Rule
