SEGRAVE BACkER
DROPS SPEED GAME
Lord Wakefield, Grief-Stricken,
Will Keep His Craft
Idle for Year.

LONDON, July 12.-Owing to grief
over the death of Sir Henry Segrave
last month, Lord Wakefield, owner of
the speedboat in which the speed king
was killed, and hacker of many other
record-seeking ventures on land and in
the air, has decided never again to
sponsor an attempt to break speed rec
ords.
Lord Wakefield was owner of the
Miss England II, in which Segrave and
F. V. G. Halliwell, mechanic, were killed
IN breaking the speed record on the
water. Sir Henry was Lord Wakefield's
personal friend and at the launching of
the boat on Lake Windermere shortly
before the tragedy the owner of the boat
was present, that being the first time
ne had ever personally assisted at the
launching OF any craft built with his
money.
When the boat was raised and found
suitable for further use, Lord Wakefield
decided to keep the boat idle for IL
months out of respect for Segrave's
memory. At the end of that time it is
70 be turned over to any pilot chosen by
the Marine Motoring Association, but
without Lord Wakeheld's backing.
In addition to financing the Segrave
speed trials both here and in America,
Lord Wakefield backed or assisted in the
backing OF many famous ventures,
among them the Schneider Trophy, Sir
Alan Cobham's air cruises, and Miss
Amy Johnson's Australian flight The
newspapers cali him 1.-THE godfather Of
British aviation" It was largely owing
to the assistance given by him to mo-
toring and aviation that he was raised
to the peerage recently.

BRITISH ]OBLESS
INCREASED 75,0OO
Country's Anxiety Is Becom-
ing Critical as Relief Fund
Is Drained.
BY Radio to The Star and the Chicago
Daily News. CopYright, 1890.

LONDON, England, July 12.-In-
creased by $4,000 within a week, Great
Britain's army of unemployed, accord
ing to bulletin issued this week, has
attained the total of 1,890,000
Even those not connected with poll
tics are following with increased anxiety
the unbelievable increase in British I'M
employment. The people of this coun-
try read the returns with an eagerness
that can be compared only with that
manifested in the dark days of the
World War, when the British public
was expecting anxiously the daily off,
cial communicate.
Reason for Increase Not Apparent.
This weeks increase is considered a
record, since the number of unem-
ployed has increased by $4,000 over the
previous weeks high mark. There
seems to be no special reason for the
amazing situation, especially at this
time of year, when the building indus
try appears to be booming and the
government has already started many
of its constructive relief schemes"
Only last week the new minister Of
Unemployment announced to his COL
leagues that the worst was over, that
business was picking up and that they
might look with confidence toward
better times to come shortly.
Mr.. Hartshorn Scorned pessimists who
feared that the 100000 mark would
be reached before the end of the year
Last nights unexpected returns have
shaken even the confidence of the new
lord privy seal and unless something
approaching miracle occurs, the
100000 mark is expected to be
reached before September.
The unemployment question Is more
serious in Great Britain than in any
other country, because all the unem-
ployed are drawing a steady income
from the state. It is true that the
government is supposed to pay only a
third of the moneys given to the unem-
ployed, but the insurance scheme fore
saw only about 1,250,000 unemployed.
The number of idle has been steadily
increasing and in this manner the con-
tributions from employers and employees
have been reduced. Today the very
large unemployment fund is virtually
absorbed and Philip Snowden, chan
cellor of the exchequer, will shortly be
compelled to ask Parliament for a spe-
cial appropriation to carry on payment
of the dole.

ITALY AND RUSSIA
: ACCORD REPORTED
American Tariff Cause of
Italian Search for New
Market.
ny Radio to The Star and Chcago Daily
News Copyright, 1890.

~ Radio to The Star and Chicaso Daily
News. Copyright. 1880.
ROME, Italy, July 12.-Another di-
rect consequence of the American
tariff was revealed when reliable
information leaked through to press
circles that prominent Italian indus
trialists have virtually reached a COM
mercial agreement, after a series of
prolonged conversations, with a fully
empowered Russian delegation.
Both Russia and Italy, it is under
stood, have studied out plan envisag-
ing vast exchange of their respective
products, Italy exporting chiefly fin
ished machinery such as tractors, auto
r.obiles and electric motors, while Rus
sian oils, wheat, wood and other raw
materials would be traded to her in
return.
In dealing tremendously with the
Russians, Italy hopes to find key to
many of its national problems. which
more than ever are on the danger list
now that the high American tariffs
have closed what has heretofore been
favorite market for italian merchants
and farmers.
To what extent the present far
reaching plan between Italy and Russia
will develop cannot be predicted, but it
Is indicated that Italy's first shipment
will total no less than $25,000,000. The
financial arrangements, which are
sponsored by the government, reveal
that trade will be run on the basis of
production costs and that should there
be balance either way, this will be
paid in cash.
Hardly more capable sponsors of the
1talo-RuSsian industrial agreement
could be found than the youthful Gen
1talo Balbo, Italian air minister, and
Cyi1SeDDe ROttai minister of cOrOOra =
tons. During the successful formation
flight to the Black Sea last year, Sig
Balbo was approached by a Russian
group which suggested the plan. On
his return to Rome, Sig. Balbo referred
the matter to Sig Bottai, who invited
the Russians to begin conversations
under the auspices of his ministry.
Among the Russians composing the
special commission named by the Soviet
M. Vasilev, president of the Russian
commission in Italy, NJ. Levinson its
vice president, and M. Losov, who is
chief of the exports bureau of this body
Although the personnel of the italian
mission has not been definitely fixed
1t Is understood that the following
names will be included: Senator Ag-
nelli, president of the Fiat motor works;
Sig. Benni, president of the Confedera-
ton of Italian Industry; Commenda-
tore Celia, manager of the Isotta-
Trieste shipper and Sig. Targetti
italian wool king.
Personal friends of the italian rep
reSentatives have expressed the belief
that Minister Bottai will soon dispatch
this delegation to Russia to study on
location further methods for exploita-
ton of the new Eastern market.

HOOVER CHAUFFEUR

For Past 20 Years Robinson
 Drove Nation's Presidents

Washington, Aug. 20 CUP)-Two blowo1ts in 20 years are the only motor woes recalled by Francis M. Robinson, the White House chauf- feur who has driven five presidents nearly half million miles without an accident.
 Robinson, who came to the White House when President Taft substi- tuted the automobile for the horse buggy believes watching the other fellow is the secret of safe driving.
 The thing I have kept upper most in my mind" he said today in reminiscing about his long experi- ence and unusual record with dis tinguished passengers, lis watch the other fellow. When people ask me about driving, I say Keep your wits about you; don't talk and keep your eyes straight ahead The rest will take care of itself.
 T came to the White House July IS, 1910. I was with the old White Steamer people in Boston and they loaned me to President Taft, and have been driving here ever since. Tells Of Escape
 "The nearest I ever came to an accident was about three weeks ago when we were returning from Presi- dent Hoover's Rapidan camp. A woman coming in the opposite di- rection lost control of her car and was see-saWing back and forth across the road. l slowed down and gave her all the room I could. She missed me a few inches and crashed into the third car behind me in the line.
 T had a blowout between Worces- ter and Boston during the Taft ad- ministration and another here in front of the White House last week. Those are the only ones I have ever had.
 T do not have very much trou- ble with reckless drivers. I believe absent -mindedness causes most of the accidents. People start thinking about something else, and are not ready for trouble when it comes.
 Although there are many more cars on the road now than when first started driving presidents. I believe it is safer to ride today than it was then. Everyone is acquaint- cd with automobiles and people gen. erally are better drivers"
 Robinson will be eligible for re- tirement in a few years. but has no intention of giving up his post, al though it requires service at all hours.
 Last week the White House re- ceived d testimonial from the safety council of Dayton, Ohio. congratu- lating Robinson on his splendid rec ord at driver. He is going 10 frame it.
