Orpet's Lawyer

Waukegan, ILL.,, July 13.-Resum-

before the latter's DEATH. At the in
quest and to states officers Miss
Davis said Marion was happy, never
made a threat of suicide and never

MULFORD SETS Up
SPEEDWAY MARK
Smiling Ralph Turns Lap at
lilo Miles an Hour, Beat
ing Resta's Record.
FIFTEEN DRIVERS QUALIFY
HOW THEY QUALIFIED.
BY FRED S. HUNTER.

Smiling Ralph milford yesterday
broke the worlds speedway record
for cars of speedway class on the
Omaha oval by turning a lap in forty
and two-fifths seconds, rate of 1ll.9
miles per hour. The former record,
held by Dario Resta, was made at
Chicago.
By establishing the record Milford
beat Dario Resta's Omaha mark of
forty-one flat, made last Sunday, and
crowded Resta out of the pole posi-
ton n the start of the l50-mile clas-
sic Saturday.
Smiling Ralph certainly had "the
old lead in he foot" yesterday. He
pushed the old pedal down until it
bent under the strain and the big
Peugeot certainly did sail around the
saucer. Without realizing the speed
he was making Ralph made two loops
of the track at forty and two-fifths.
Billy Chandler wig wagged frantic
signals that he was burning the wood,
but neither milford nor Jimmy
Stakes, his mechanician, caught them,
and Ralph pulled up, not believing he
was doing better than forty-one.
Starts Out Again.
When he came in Chandler broke
the glorious news and Milford started
out again. This time he gave Wagner
the signal and he was officially timed
for a qualifying lap at forty and two
fifths.
milford is now sure of the pole pc.
sition. Resta has two more '''ls if
he cares to make them, but it is not
believed he will be able to eclipse
the Milford record. Resta, however,
is practically certain of second posi-
ton unless De Palma should show
some unusual speed today and beat
him out.
Thus Milford and Resta will pace
the field in the first line the day of
the race.
Ralph De Palma clinched third po-
sition yesterday by doing lap in for
ty-two and one-fifth, lO7 miles an
hour. This is over second better
than he did Wednesday, when he hit
l04 miles an hour.
Rick Cuts Time.
Eddie Rickenbacher cut two-fifths
of a second off his first mark yester-
day by making lap in forty-three
and three fifths, 1903 miles an Ihour.
Eddie and Dave Lewis are. now dead
locked for fourth position. Eddie can
take one more trial today and Lewis

D'Alene tied for sixth position at the

and Ira Vail were others to qualify
Yesterday. All of them, however,

do better today. a
Fifteen Qualify. 4
A total of fifteen cars have now
qualified for the race Saturday. The
eliminations will continue today when
Hughie Hughes, Tommy Milton, Aldo
Franchi and Jules Devigne will be
among the prominent drivers to take
their first trials and several OF those
who have already qualified will at
tempt to set up better marks.
In addition this afternoon Ralph

u. S. NAVY INCREASE
DIVIDES JAP OPINION

Tokyo. Sept. 1.-THE voting of an
impressive naval preparedness pro-
gram by the United States Congress
has been intently noted in Japan. and
first impressions, as voiced In the
possible for Japan to compete in naval
construction with the boundless re-
sources of the United States.
The influential commercial organ.
che Chugwai Shogyo urges that a con-
vention should be made with the
United States similar to that recently
arranged with Russia, in order to
settle the relations of the two nations.
The Kokumin. which Is intensely
nationalistic and chauvinist. believes
that the reply should be an increased
Japanese program.
The naval estimates will not be
known until the Diet meets towards
the close Of the year. but the plans
of the Navy Department, which are
now before tho Finance Department
for approval. provide for the compile
ton within seven years Of what Is
known as the EIGHT and four" pro-
gram-eight super-dreadnaughts and
four battlecruisers.
The four battlecruisers are already
in existence and five super dread
nAughts are either completed or under
construction. so there remains to COM
plete the program three super-dread-
naughts and elevn light cruisers,
forty-eight destroyers and sixteen sub
marines.
The eight and four" plan. 1t should
be understood. Is a modification Of an
Eight and eight" plan urged by the
navy but reduced to "eight and four
for financial reasons.
Naval circles still believe In the
"eight and eight" and probably expect
to get the program up to that figure
before the period expires Their opin.
ions are practically impossible te

where the bureaucracy rules.
