TIME TRIALS TO START SATURDAY Indianapolis, May 24. — When the ) thirty-six ears entered in the inter- i national 500-mile race to be held at ; the Indianapolis Motor Speedway line up for the beginning of the elmliuition trials at 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon (May 26) then' will be a violent battle for the pole position and for the two other positions in the first row. Only thirty-three cars are permitted | to start tlie contest and the cars line up in eleven rows of three each in ■ the order of the fastest speed averi ages made over the ten qualifying miles of four laps. Ninety-miles per I hour for ten miles is necessary to enter the race. As many cars as are ready will be qualified on Saturday lint the track will be open to the public on Sunday when the remainder ot the cars will be qualified under the supervision of officials of the American Automobile Association under whose rules and sanction the contest is run. It is the first Sunday Since before the war that I care will bo qualified in the presence of spectators and it is anticipated that i the largest pre-iace crowd ever in attendance at the speedway will tile through the turnstiles. Leon Duray, Peter De Paolo, Cliff Bergere, Ralph Hepburn and Cliff Woodbury, all piloting front wheel drive cars, are favored to duel it out for the pole position at the start of the race. Cliff Durant in Tom Miltons Detroit Special is a dark horse mount about which little is known. Other drivers will force the competion. The fastest lap ever turned at Indianapolis was at an average ot 120.91 miles an hour. It was made last year by the late Frank Lockhart whose average of 120.1 miles per hour for ten miles won him the pale. Duray, unofficially already has best - I ed the record. In his front wheel ! drive Miller Special he circled the ; track at a speed of slightly faster ; than 121 miles an hour. His time was j taken with stop ’ watches. When he rides Saturday he will be driving against the electrical timing device ! which bleaks seconds up into thousi andths. De Paolo in a Flying Cloud Special. Cliff Bergere in a Miller Special, j Ralpii Hepburn in Harry Miller’s pri- j vate entry and Cliff Woodbury in a I Boyle Valve Special all have turned | in rapid laps that make them out- 1 standing contenders for front row I honors. . — Nine Berne Athletes Receive Letter Awards Berne, May 24—(Special)— Honor awards in scholarship and athletics I were presented to Berne high school pupils at the close of the school term,; last Friday.

JACKSON GIVES I OUT HIS SPEECH Governor Gives Speech To Press Which He Did Not Get To Deliver Indianapolis. May 24. (U.R) —Wholesale denials of any corruption in the executive department during the present admfnlstratiop and au emphatic statement that "D. C. Stephenson has never had an influence" with the governor, featured the speech which Governor Ed Jackson had planned to deliver to the Republican state convention. Unable to deliver the speech, because lie was not given the time the governor ieleased It for publication in newspapers. Jackson referred to recent accusations which brought him to trial on charges of attepiptlng to biibe former Governor Warren T. McCray by saying: "These charges were made and given currency by individuals and interests who had personal ambitions to serve and not the interests of their state. "I can say for myself that 1 never at any time or any place entered into any conspiracy to bribe or made any offer to bribe Warren T. MeCray, to appoint James E. McDonald prosecuting attorney. I was surprised when the names of George V. Coffin and Robert I. Marsh were associated witii mine in charges of attempting to bribe McCray. The only person who requested me to present Mr. McDonald’s name to Warren T. McCray was Bisliop Foul. These facts would have appeared from the testimony of num-

lerous disinterested witnesses If the case hud been fully tried. The governor's trial on the attempti cd bribery charge ended when it was I thrown out ot court because the statute ot limitations had “outlawed” the charge. “Those who have seen tit to give currency to this false propaganda,” Jackson continued, “are crying out to the public that they want a clean house. What do they expect to clean? Tbe state is entirely free from in-
