“Mexico in Hell” Is the Wish of Congressman.
Washington, May 11.—“ I wish Mexico were in hell,” said Representative Vollmer, of lowa, in the house today in a threeminuite eulogy of Frang Dvorak, an lowa boy, who was killed at Vera Cruz. “We find this boy, who never saw the red flag of revolution, enlisting under the beautiful starry banner, Whose every fluttering speaks to him of liberty and glory as no other flag on earth can speak, and gladly offered his young life on the altars of his country, one of the first to make the sacrifice, far from his prairie home, on the burning sand® of the pahn-dirlnged shores of the Spanish Main, at ancient Vera Cruz. As for the humble name of Dvorak, is takes its place among the names of American heroes, forever enshrined in the Walhalla of a grateful nation.” Miss Mildred Biggs continues quite sick with tonsiiitis and now her sister, Mr®. G. B. Rolling®, who 'lias been here since the death of her mother, also has an attack of the disease. iMiss Nell Biggs, the nurse, was called back from Chicago last night to assist in the care of them.

STATE LAW REGULATES SPEED OF VEHICLES
All Owners of Cars Should Be Familiar With the Law and Keep Within the Bounds. Many are apparently not familiar with the law regulating the speed of motor vehicles. Oars are frequently driven through the streets of this city at a very dangerous rate of speed. There is no excuse for it except that of ignorance. The acts of 1913 regulate the rate of travel for motor driven vehicles. Section 16 reads as follows: “No person shall operate a motor vehicle or motor bicycle upon any public highway in the State at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent, having regard to the traffic and the use of the way, or as to endanger the life or limb or injure the property of any person, rate of speed of any motor vehicle operated upon any public highway or other place in this state where the same passed through the closely built up business portion of any incorporated city, town or village exceeds ten mile an hour or if the rate of spee dos any motor vehicle or motor bieyde operated or driven on any public highway in the state where the same passed through the residence portion of any incorporated city, towin or village exceeds fifteen miles an hour or if the rate of speed on any public highway in this state outside the closely built up business portions and the residence portions within any incorporated city, town or village exceeds twenty miles an hour or upon any public highway ouitside of the limits of any incorporated city or town or village, if the rate of speed exceeds twenty-five miles per hour such rates of speed shall be prima faede evidence that the person operating such motor vehicle or motor bicycle is running at a rate of speed greater than is reasonable and prudent, having .egard to the traffic and use of the way or so as to endanger the life or limb or injure the property of any person. If the rate of speed of a motor vehicle or motor bicycle operated or driven on any public highway or other public place in this state, in going around a Corner or curve in a highWay or othe public place where the operator’s view of the road traffic is obstructed, exceeds six miles an hour, such ilate of speed shall be priipa facie evidence that the person operating or driving such motor vehicle or motor bicycle is running at a rate ,of speed greater than is reasonable having regard to the traffic and the use of the way or so as to endanger the life or limb or injure the property of any person. Any person violating any of the provisions of this section of this Act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not exceeding one hundred dollars.”
Marshal Shosier and his force of helpers had to 'go all over town today to scrape the dirt from the tops of the catch basins, permitting the water from the heavy rains to escape. The discovery was made that the catch basins were clogged largely from grass which had been dumped into the streets when the lawns were mowed. The particles of grass would catch and then dirt which was washed from the street caught on top of the grass and sealed the basins so completely that the water could not get through. The discovery resulted in an order from the marshal that no grass shall be thrown into the streets. Ready compliance with the order will doubtless follow, as the matter is of importance to every person.
CHICAGO IS ASSURED OF MOTOR SPEEDWAY
Stadium and Aviation Field to Occupy Parkway of Three ~ Mile Track. Chicago, May 11.—The Chicago Motor club’s, speedway ito be built Chicago has been financed. The plant will cost approximately $500,000. Practically all of this amount has been guaranteed. Several wealthy Chicago business men will back , the club, The club itself will aet as the promoting organization. The names of the men financially interested will not be made public at this time. This announcement, which insures Chicago a motor speedway, was roadie by the ways and means committee of the C. M. C. which had been appointed to sound the possibilities of erecting a plant. For more than two weeks the ■committee has been digging into the project. The committee by its terms of agreement with the backers will begin immediately the search for a site. Hayes will take up the proposition of materials at once. The course will be built either of brick or concrete. No definite date for beginning work has been selected. It is hoped that the construction will be finished in time to permit a fall meet equal in scope to that of the 500-mile race at Indianapolis on Memorial Day. The speedway (will not be confined to motor racing. A stadium and aviation field is to occupy the parkway of the three-mile track. Here it is planned to hold aviation meets, polo matches, and horse ahows. It is not thought unlikely that athletic carnivals may be arranged. The track itself will be three miles in length. It will be modeled after that at Brooklands, England. The English track, now conceded to be the fastest in the world, is three and seven-tenths •miles in length and has a concrete surface. Beifeld recently inspected the English track and it is thought the ideas he gained there will be incorporated in the Chicago plant. A number of features may be taken from the Indianapolis speedway, although the course is much slower than at Brooklands, due to insufficient banking. The arrangements at Indianapolis are far better than at Brooklands, and it is thought some of Oarl Fisher’s grandstands will be duplicated.
Montmorenci Man Charged With Kidnaping Girl.
Joseph Humphrey and Ada B. Littleton reside at Montmorenci. The girl is 17 years old. Humphrey is older. Monday they went to Chicago and the girl’s father caused their arrest as they left the train. He is charged with kidnaping the girl, however, he may be guilty of violating the white slave law. The Littleton girl caused somewhat of a sensation a year and a half ago when she went to Lafayette .with a man named James McCormick and procured a marriage license. He induced her to assume the marriage relations without the formality of a ceremony and after living with her for several days decided that he did not care to get married and returned his license to the county clerk. He was arrested and after a trial was released, which is not a very unusual consequence of a trial in Tippecanoe county. Apparently, however, the Littleton girl must be rather willing to be kidnaped, having taken this chance after her first experience.
Wiliis Lutz returned this morning from Chicago, where 'he had been with his wife at the hospital. She is making very satisfactory improvement and it is now probable that she will have recovered sufficiently to be returned home Saturday. Cutting teeth at the age of 74 is quite an unusual thing, but that is what Nathan Wirobaugh, a Eostoria, 0., janitor, has just accomplished. While suffering with typhoid pneumonia he felt a soreness around his gums for several day® and was surprised to know when he recovered he had an extra tooth. We are headquarters for No-Sag screen doors. J. C. Gwin Lumber Go., Telephone 6. L. H. Hamilton received a letter Saturday from Rev. A. L. Ward, pastor of the Christian church at Lebanon. Rev. Ward was pastor of the Christian church in 'this city several years ago. He stated in his letter that his son, wiho is only about 22 years of age, is now preaching three Sundays each month and that he will graduate from Butler college this year and enter the active ministry. We do grinding and sell all kinds of feed for poultry, horses and cows. —Hamilton A Kellner.
MILLION PERSONS PAY SILENT TRIBUTE
New York City Suspends Business To Pay Tribute to Bluejackets Who Lost Lives. Seventeen caskets born oh caissons from the'battery and followed by a carriage containing PresidentWilson and a procession four miles long composed the funeral cortege of the seventeen 'marines and bluejackets who lost their lives in the occupation of Vera Cruz. The procession was impressive because of its silence and solemnity, and while New York was paying the tribute to the young patriots who lay down their lives for their country, the nation at large joined in the ceremony by feeling the sadness of the relatives of the martyrs to the cause of a new Mexico. The religious ceremony was held at the navy yard. President Wilson took part in the service. He said in part: “I have never been in battle under fire, but I fancy it is just as hard to do your duty when men are sneering at you, for When they shoot at you they take your natural life and When they sneer at you they wound your heart. We have gone to Mexico to serve mankind if we can find the way. We don’t want to fight the Mexicans; we want to serve them. A war of aggression is not a thing in Which it is proud to die, but a war of service is a thing in which it is a proud thing to die.” The names of the young men who lost their loves at Vera Cruz are: Louis Frank Boswell, chief gunner’s mate, battleship Michigan, Ooulterville, 111. Gabriel Defabbio, gunner’s mate, battleship New* Jersey, Batavia, N. Y. Francis P. DeLoury, seaman, battleship New Hampshire, Pittsburg. Frank Devorick, ordinary seaman, battleship South Carolina, BJiakesburg, lowa. Elzie C. Fisher* ordinary seaman, battleship New Hampshire, Forest, Miss. Louis Oscar Fried, ordinary seaman, battleship Arkansas, Gretna, La. E. H. Prohlichistein, seaman, battleship New Hampshire, Mobile, Ala. Daniel Haggerty, private marine corps, Cambridge, Mass. Dennis J. Lane, seaman, battleship New Hampshire, New York city. Samuel Marten, private marine corps, Chicago. Rufus E. Percy, private marine corps, Concord, N. H. George Poinsett, seaman, battleship Florida, Philadelphia. John F. Sdhumached, coxswain,' battleship Florida, Blooklyn. Charles Allen Smith, ordinary seaman, battleship New Hampshire; Philadelphia. Alban Eric Stream, ordinary seaman, battleship New Jersey, Brooklyn. Randolph Summerlin, private marine Corps, Wilocoochee, Ga. Walter L. Watson, ordinary seaman, Orleans, Mass. Of these fourteen will be sent from the navy yard to relatives. The bodies of three— .Percy and Watson—will be taken back on the Montana for removal to New England.
James Keeley.
(New York Times.) Thirty-three years ago, in 1881, an energetic England lad, earning a scant livelihood by the sale of newspapers in the streets of London, resolved to try his fortune in America. On the afternoon of July 2 of that year probably many traveling Americans bought copies of newspapers from this lad, for these newspapers contained reports of the assassination of President Garfield, and it was the moat prosperous day the little English boiy had ever known. Hundreds of thousands of Americans at home have since bought newspapers not sold to them directly by James Keelley, but in large part made for them by him This morning Mr. Keeley, now a prosperous veteran of the craft in whiidh he made so humble a beginning, offers to the American public a newspaper of his own—or rather, two newspapers, but they will be combined into one next Monday. After many years’ service as managing editor and general manager of the Chicago Tribune, he has purchased the Chicago Rccord-Herald and the Chicago Inter Ocean, which will have only two rivals in Chicago after their amalgamation. The Tribune and Hearat’s Examiner will be the rivals. In these circumstances there should be assured prosperity even to a less skillful newspaper maker than Mr. Keeley, but there cannot be more than the profession in general will wish him. All who have heard the Salisbury family pronounce it the best ever. At the PreSbyterian church Thuraday evening.
