but they soon settled back to watch the
race.
Wife Collapsed at Morgue.
Mrs. Limberg was taken out of the
! grounds by Mrs. Jack LeCain, wife OF
another racing driver. When she
reached the COMFY Island Morgue she
collapsed and was hurried TO her
apartments at the Hotel Woodstock,
New York.
Limberg formerly was a bicycle
rider, and had taken up the driving
of automobiles only within the last
few years. While a member of the
Chalmers team he won the American
road championship, and was beginning
to attain a reputation as a daredevil
driver. The pace at which he was
forcing his car at the time of the &C
cident showed that the reputation was
partly earned.
Little is known of the mechanician,
Pallotti, excepting that his home was
in Hartford, Conn. He was unmarried.
Say Track Is Accident-Proof.
The builders Of the Speedway still
maintain that-the track itself is acct
dent-proof. They point to the fact
that they announced before the race
that everything depended upon the
tires. Even with the broken tire, they
claim that if Limberg. had been more
familiar with board tracks he might
have averted the accident. Burman, 1t
was pointed out, frequently had blow
outs travelling at as high a rate OF
speed, and managed TO avert accidents
But Burman himself was killed just a
short time ago.
The point at which the men were
hurled from the track was on the north
turn. where the track is banked TO a
height of thirty feet. The outer part
is guarded by a wooden railing against
which the car carromed. Though the
rail was shattered, as was part OF the
outer rim of the track. the car did not
90 over.
Mass Of Twisted Steel.
Some automobile experts claim that
the steering gear had been ruptured
at the instant the tire exploded, but
this could not be verified, as the car
was burned into a blackened and
twisted mass of debris. Both axles
seemed to be twisted. The tailplece
and the rear wheels were wrenched
away from the body.
Limberg, the driver, who was seated
on the right Of the car. must have been
the first TO go over. Psllotti was
thrown out at almost the same instant,
and they sprawled through the air as
though they had been hurled from the
same catapult
The superstitious pointed to the fact
that the date was the thirteenth, but
tho racing drivers are not superStl-
tious lot No cars were withdrawn

HARDIN COUNTY TAX LEvIES.
Comparative Figures Showing Various
Town Expenditures For Maintenance.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls. Jan. 15.-An interesting
COMPARISON of the tax levies OF the
cities and towns Of Hardin county is
shown by the figures recently Issued
by the county treasurer and auditor.
Iowa Falls. the largest city In the
county. has a levy for all purposes OF
81 mills Eldora, the next largest city.
has a total levy OF 1914 mills. Ackley
comes next with SO mills, while Rad
cliHe heads the list with the heaviest
levy of 12o mills. Alden has levy OF
81 mills. Hubbard SO mills, and Union
ss mills. Considering the many I'M
provements being made by Iowa Falls
by. the city as we'll as the school DIS
! trict, the levy Of "a mills reflects credit
on the administration Of both depart
ments Of the city's government. The
corporation road tax of mills Is not
/ taken into consideration In figuring
any OF the above levies, as II Is the
same In each corporation, and Is not

rBv Ora wtlliams.l

Des Moines. Jan. l5.-There Is a good
deal OF inquiry Just now for the hies
Of the journals Of house and senate for
the general assemblies of Iowa In re-
cent years. A number of persons seem
unwilling to accept as final and con-
elusive the statements OF sundry and
various candidates for office as to Just
what their legislative records show on
things that are regarded as vital. What
they want Is the actual record. When
the friend of candidate says that his
man was always just right on some big
moral question the disposition is to
ask to be shown. The result is an un-
usual amount OF proving OF legislative
records. And by the way, 1t Is noted
that the corps Of candidates for state
office on the republican side was lars e.
ly recruited from legislative ranks
Allen. Cosson, Harding, Moore, Brady.
Crist, Kerr. Thomas. Brown. ct al
There Is some advantage in having
been In the legislature, but 1t is not all
advantage.
It may be set down as certain that
any candidate who goes about claiming
that the equal suffragists are backing
his candidacy for nomination is in
dulging in hot air. Nothing of the sort
has happened or Is likely to happen.
The women who are managing the
campaign for an amendment have no
intention OF being drawn into any other
fight no matter what it may be. They
are taking the only course that Is SEN
sible and that is to make a fight for
just one thing and one alone. They
should be given credit for conservative
and sensible direction of their cam
paign, and the efforts made to draw
them actually or apparently into the
petty contests Of the primary are actu-
ally resented by their leaders. The
equal suffrage campaign is declared to
be coming along fine.
Incidentally there Is some rejoicing
that John p. Irish is to be sent to
Iowa to campaign against equal suf-
frare. The suffrage leaders are doing
what rejoicing there is. Now there is
not anywhere in the country any one
who can say such beautiful things on
any and every conceivable subject, who
can in fact present such entertaining
arguments, and at the same time carry
such little weight as this same former
1oWan and present Californian. He
made a speech in Iowa a year ago In
which he told of the great error Cali
fornia made in adopting woman SUI
frage. But he also presented at the
same time the most complete EXPOSE
ton OF the doctrine OF standpatism
ever given. He was against every
thing. He was opposed to the initiative
and referendum. He was against en-
larging the power of the people thru
primaries. He showed very plainly that
IL wasn't safe to trust only a few of tho
men. He told how the enlargement of
the suffrage in California was working
