SHOT IN CHINA

PEK1NG, April 25.-Ths Rev.
DIR. Seymour, an American member
of the Presbyterian mission in
China for the past thirty years,
was shot and killed by Chinese
troops at Tsinning, according to
word received here today from
American refugees stranded in the
Shantung war area.
The information o. the shooting
was received by the United States
legation.
Legation officials were informed
that the missionary was shot
through the heart on April is,
while Tsinnlng was being occupied
by Gen. Feng Yuh Siangs army.
The town had originally been held
by northern troops.
The information came by way
of Tsingtao. 1t was delayed by
the fact that a large area of Shan
tung Peninsula has been isolated
by fighting between northern and
nationalist troops.
It is understood that there are
ether Americans marooned in the
war area, but they plan to leave
at the first opportunity.

CRASH
~ IalernationaI News serviee

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla,
April 25.F Frank Lockhart,
one Of the worlds most famous
racing drivers was killed here
shortly after 7 d. m. today
when his car somersaulted as
he was making an attempt to
break the world s speed record.
Lockhart was thrown clear of the
Stutz Blackhawk az 1t turned over
the first time. but received injuries
from which he died shortly after
reaching the hospital.
1t was at first believed that the
light construction Of the front part
of his car caused it to lift" with
the powerful rush of wind beneath
it, but examina ton of the car,
whic was almost demolished,
proved that a. rear left tire had
blown out.
Was rDiving North
Lockhart had gone south on the
smooth beach at an estimated speed
of about 200 miles an hour, the
best time he had recorded in any
of his attempts on the record-201
miles an I1our-and had started back
on the north run when the accident
occurred in front of the grandstand.
Last February Lockhart sur
vived a similar accident here, when
the car he was driving dived into
the ocean and somersaulted. He
was rescued from being crushed TO
death and drowning at that time by
another racing driver who went
into the water after him.
Yesterday he made six trials but
the highest speed he could attain
was 191 miles an hour. He was
confident that lie would break the
record in today's attempt.
The present worlds record, which
was set last Sunday by Ray Keech,
of Philadelphia, broke the mark
made by Major Malcolm Campbell.
of England.
Following keech's successful as
sault on the record, Lockhard was
more than ever determined to set
a new mark. Keech announced that
provided Lockhart did break his
record he would try again in the
big white triplex,

Death Shock to Plant
INDIANAPOLIS, April 25.-The
news that Frank Lockhart, n, ace OF
Americas racing drivers, was dead
came as a shock to Indianapolis,
where Lockhart had won some of his
greatest triumphs and where he had
toiled for nearly a. year to build the
speed monster that finally killed him.
When International News Service
flashed the news Lockhart was dead
to the Stutz Motor plant here, work
at the plant almost came to stand.

hart went to work last June to con.
struct a motor vehicle that would
bring back to America the world 8

Lockhart's personal supervision and
embodied Lockhart's own ideas.
