Flags Decorate Coliseum.

rags DCCOFaL6 NOIISeDm'
The Coliseum was decorated with
tanners and flags. Pictures of Grant
and Lincoln were among the decora-
tions on the speakers stand. Two

memorial service. With fervor and
reverence the old soldiers did honor
to their comrades who have answered
taps. Although age has unsteadied
the nerves of many Of the old men,
they answered quickly every command
given, and the martial music never
failed to bring proud smile and a
twinkle of the eye. ~--.~
Spirit of Reverence.
The audience joined in the reverent
aad. sincere spirit IN which the Wom-
ans Relief Corps, assisted by children,
paid tribute to the unknown dead.
After flag drill by children, the
women of the corps marched forward
and scattered flowers around the large
monument.
This was followed by a service for
the sailor dead by the Sons of Veter-
ans Auxiliary. Between the ranks
of children the women marched across
the drill floor to the decorated tank,
acre they dropped flags and flowers
into the water in honor of the sailor
dead

cation was given by the Rev. U. S. A.

Tall Man HurIs Knife,

AS the colonel's car approached a
tall man with brown clothes and a
straw hat forced his way from the
sidewalk toward the Roosevelt car.
When he was within ten feet of
Kansas City's distinguished visitor he
drew a long bladed knife from an
inner pocket. Leaning over the heads
Of those before him he took deliberate
aim and threw the knife with all his
strength at Roosevelt
Had his throw been few inches
b <her the knife would have reached
its mark
Instead, its point struck the door
of the car whero it was embedded
for second. Then 1t clattered down
to the running beard. With a mum.
hled curse the man forced his way
backward and the jostlfng crowd
closed around him effectively hiding
his Identity
A score OF persons who were beside
the car heard the knife as it whistled
through the air and fell Someone
cried out in alarm
Fearing that a riot might follow the
spreading of the news of the mans
attempt among the crowd Earnest
Shell, who saw the incident from be-
ginning to end, from his post beside

knife and handed it to the uniformed
policeman who was following him.

SPEED TEST
OPENS WITH
FAST LAP

SPEEDWAY, INDIANAPOLIS, Ind,
May 30.-In a bedlam Of roaring ex.
hausts and cheers from over 10000
throats. 21 motor thoroughbreds were
sent away at 1880 o'clock this after
noon in the annual memorial day inter-
national sweepstake.
Dangling at the end of the weary,
nerve-racking 800 miles we're the gold
en- plums, $4,000. Johnny Aitken in
a Peugeot was the first man away
He roared past the stands a streak of
blue, closely followed by the white
Maxwell piloted by Eddie Rickenbach-
er.
Then came Gil Anderson at the
wheel of the big green premier. First
in the pursuing pack was Dario Resta,
the favorite. his lemon colored skull
cap a vivid flash against the dull
brown of the tracks
Barney Oldfield and "Howdy' Will
cox trailed the flying Italian.
Farther back the stretch struggled
the other fifteen cars.
Time of first lap was 1892, or 80
miles an hour.
Rickenbacher Id his Maxwell,
led the first lap. Three lengths be-
hind him came Resta and Aitken with
inches between them. At the end of
the first five miles, Rickenbacher still
kept his lead, and Barney Old6eld
was growing at his heels
The average for the first mile was
96:4 miles an hour. Resta and Aitken
were five lengths behind the speed
ing Maxwell
At the ten miles Rickenbacher was
in the lead but the average dropped
to 91.12 miles. Art Johnson's mechan-
ician gave the crowd thrill by crawl
ing out on the hood of the car while
1t was running over 80 miles an hour
and fastening down a loose strap
The cars were so punched in the.
first ten miles that an accident looked
inevitable
RICkENBAcHER IN LEAD.
Rickenbacher was cheered as he
completed his sixth lap still in the
lead. At twenty miles Rickenbacher
still was leading, running at an average
of 91.29 miles an hour. At the end
of 25 miles Rickenbacher still led. He
had set a tremen 1ous pace and was
forced to the pits. Aitken took the
lead and began a smashing drive with
Resta in back of him The average
for the first 25 miles was 9001 miles
an hour
1t was announced that Rickenbacher
was out of the race with a broken
steering knuckle. The order of the
racers at this time was: Aitken
Resta, Henderson, Rooney, .Dalene and
Anderson.
Resta was two car lengths behind
Aitken and seemed content to let Ait
ken lead the way into the banks at
the end of thirty miles
Aitken had maintained an average
speed of S887 miles an hour Resta
had the lead as the first half century
was completed and Aitken was back
of him trying to rest back the lead.
The PIsun was out of the race with
engine trouble.
Resta, in the lead, was driving easily
and his average time was S8.14 miles
an hour. The nearest cars followed
Resta in order: Aitken. Merz, Hen
derson, Arthur Chevrolet, Delain, Tom
Rooney, Devigne, Josef Christensen.
The hot pace told on the cars. One
by one they came stumbling into the
pits for tire changes. Barney Old
field was among the uEfortunates.
"Howdy" Wilcox had suffered. too. as
had Gil Anderson, Louis Chevrolet,
and others of the veterans. At sew
enty-five mile mark only eighteen of
the twenty-one starters remained in
the race.

In1lcls Snnremn Cnnrt.


Senator Chiffon obviously placed
himself in direct and fragrant con-
tempt of the United States Supreme
Court II he made statements that
have been attributed to him by Demo
cratic papers in the course of n recent
speech-making tour OF the state. Mr..
Chiffon has openly insinuated that
Mr.. Hughes. while member OF tho
supreme court. rendered crooked
decision In the Virginia debt case.
because his son held a position in
the Offices Of the law firm of which
Charles Il. Littlefeld the master
commissioner, was the head.
This dastardly lnsinuation might
be passed with the contempt 1t de-
serves. as low flung politics. were
its reference to Mr.. Hughes alone.
Mr.. Hughes Is no longer a member
Of the court. but most of the nine
men who sat with him in the Vlr-
ginia Debt case are stlll members OF
the court, and the insinuation that
they cOncurred in a crooked decision
is reprehcnsible to an abominable de-
gree.
If Mr.. Hughes rendered verdict
not according to the law and the
evidence, but crooked verdict, based
upon the mere fact that his son held
position in LittleheId's law firm,
what shall be said of the other mem
bers OF the court who participated in
the verdict
These men. four Of whom are
Democrats. concurred in this verdict.
If Mr.. Hughess verdict was crooked,
as Mr. Chiffon inslnuates. what
caused Justice Lamar TO decide as he
did? What caused Chief Justice
White to decide as he did? What
selfish motive prompted Justice Van
devender to render a yenal decision?
Let Mr.. Chiffon say, If he dare, to
what he ascrfbes Justice Holiness
crooked action.
This is regrettable circum-
stance. 1t might have been expected
from second-class Democratic editors
and stump speakers, who habitually
presume upon the Ignorance OF the
people, but for senator of the
United States TO make such fragrant
and vicious attack upon the Supreme
Court Of the United States is an utter
contempt OF that body and presumes
woeful state of Ignorance and
viciousness on the part Of the people
to whom his remarks were addressed.

sales of American products in China.
Yet the tariff law enacted by his
party at the behest of the president
under whom Redfeld serves. cut the
duty on tin so that America is now
buying tin from China for the first
time in our history. When all IFS
