JACKSON SAYS IIS JUST GUESS IRK

That He Has Made No Appointments

and No Recommendations—Says

Son Don't Want Job.

U. S. Jackson said today that the stories appearing in tbe Indianapolis papers regarding his appointments as sergeant-at-arms of the National House of Representatives were ungrounded and that there was nothing to them. The press dispatches from Washington have it that Mr. Jackson has appointed his son and son- in-law to the two best positions under him and that the Indiana delegation is kicking because they have promised the positions to outside parties in ex change for support for Mr. ackson in his race for the office he holds. The Indianapolis News of Monday says George Cooper of Greenfield is Mr. Jackson appointee for cashier, which pays $4,500 and that Mr. Jackson's son-in-law is appointed to the second best place.

Mr. Jackson said today to the Reporter, that no appointment had been made bj him and no recommendations for appointment made and that none would be made until he returned to Washington.

In regard to the report that he had appointed his son Earl Jackson, he said he had made

110

such appoint­

ment and that his son did not want the place and would not have it if he offered it to him. He branded all the articles being published from Washinton on the subject as just ''newspaper stories."

A ROUND ABOUT WAY

BUT SAME OLD PRICE

Forty years ago the round trip fare to Indianapolis and back was $1.20 on the steam road and John H. Binford said today he had paid it many times, and paying the same price yesterday reminded him of the former times. He went to Indianapolis on the steam road, paying fifty cents, as he failed to get a ticket. When he started home he went over the Big Four to Maxwell, paying 45 cents and then made the trip down in the auto traction car, paying 25 cents fare, making the total for the round about trip the same as the former round trip fare on the steam road between Greenfield and Indianapolis.

Great interest was shown among the members of the newly organized Alumni association.

CHANGE ELECTION DATE

The county commissioners of Henry county at their meeting on Monday last, set Saturday, April 29, as the day for holding the local option elections in Wayne and Fall Creek townships, but the Seventh Day Adventists (and there are several of them in Fall Creek) objected to that date, as they observe Saturday as the Lord's day and could not conscientiously vote then. Noting this fact the officials changed the date for the Fall Creek township, and the people up there will vote on Friday, April 28th, instead of the 29th.

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1911

THIRTY AUTOS ENTER LONG RACE NEXT MEMORIAL DAY.

Scst Motor Speeding Talent in World Comes to Indianapolis Next for 500-mile Race at th(

Speedway.

For the first time in tbe history of automobile racing, every great driver in America and the majority of the Samous European pilots will start in one Speedway event when Starter Fred J. Wagner gives the word to the largest field of racing automobiles ever brought together, in the 500-mile International Sweepstakes race over the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, next Memorial Day, for a purse of $25,000 in gold. With the event still more than two months and a half away, there have been thirty blig racing cars entered under the edrly closing conditions. The early closing date was March 1, and entries will be received until the late closing date, May 1. Assurances of future entries indicate that fully fifty cars will compose the total list..

All of the great winners of 1910 who are still actively engaged in automobile racing are entered, including David Bruce-Brown, millionaire New Yorker, who won the 415-mile International Road race for the Automobile Club of America's Grand Prize gold cup at Savannah. November 12 Harry Grant, twice winner of the Vanderbilt Cup race over the Long Island course Joe Dawson, winner of the Donor's Trophy in the Vanderbilt, the Cobe Trophy, tb£ Rrtiiiy Trophy, City of Atlanta Trophy and the Savannah Challenge Trophy Johnny Aitken, the winner of the 301 to 4#0 Class race at Fairmount Park, third i\i the Vanderbilt Cup race, winner of the 200-mile Free-for-all at Indianapolis, 200-milfe Atlanta Trophy race and many short speedway events Eddie Hearne, winner of the 50-mile Free-for-all at Indianapolis, twice winner of the Indianapolis Speedway helmet, and the Fox River cup at Elgin Louis Disbrow, who finished fourth in the Vanderbilt Cup race and winner of many short Speedway events Louis Strang, who performed the wonderful feat of winning three great road races in one season when, in 1908, he won the 342-mile Savannah race, the 259-mile Brier-Cliff race and the 250mile Lowell race, and from that time on has been one of the greatest drivers in the racing game Joe Jagersburger, who drove the giant Mercedes to a place in the Fairmount Park race, and many others.

There are but four great American drivers who are not included in this list, and each of these has assured the Speedway management that he will drive a car in the long race. These are "Wild Bob" Burman, to whom many racing enthusiasts give the credit of being the greatest driver who adts behind the wheel today Herb Lytle, dean of all American drivers, who started his career back in 1S95, when he drove on the Brooklands, England, track Ralph DePalma, miletrack champion in 1910 who robbed the peerless Barney Oldfield of many of his records, and Ralph Mulford, who won the national stock chassis championship at Elgin.

Pitted against this grand array of American speed merchants will be the cream of the driving talent of Europe. Present indications, according to advices received from the European representatives of the Speedway, are that the foreign drivers who will appear are Hemery, who finished second in the American Grand Prize race last season Lancia, who won the Vanderbilt Cup in 1907 Nazarro, who won the French Grand Prize in 1907 and who

holds the world's road race record of 74.3 miles per hour, which he made in the Florio Cup race in Italy in 1908 Wagner, winner of the American Grand Prize in 1908, of the Vanderbilt Cup race in 1906 Boillot, who won the Voiturette Cup race in Sicily in 1910 Zuccarelli, winner of the Boulogne Cup, France, 1910, and the Ostend Cup in Belgium last September Goux, winner of the Normandy Cup in France, of the Catalogne Cup, Spain, and Regal of the Clement-Bayard team. These foreign pilots have been making negotiations to come to America, and in most instances their decision rests entirely upon their ability to finish their speed creations in time to ship them to America for the race. Boillot, Goux and Zuccarelli compose tbe LionPeugeot team, which probably will bring three cars, according to the advice of the Speedway European rep* resentative.

The other drivers who are entered in the long event are: C. B. Baldwin in an Inter-State "50," Frank Fox in a Pope-Hartford, Harry Knight in a Westcott, Louis Larsonneur in a Case, Gilbert Anderson in a Stut*, Spencer Wishart in a German Mercedes, W. H. Turner in an Amplex, Fred Belcher in a Knox, Fred E11U In a Jackson, Harry Cobe in a Jackson and Lee Frayer and Eddie Rickenbacher in a Firestone-Columbus. Ten cars have been entered without drivers—a Simplex, which will probably be driven by Joe Matson a Marmon two Buick "100" cars two Nationals, which probably will be driven by Ralph DePalma, Charles Merz or Howard Wilcox two McFarlan "6" cars a Jackson a Cutting, and a Marquette'

Buick "100." Drivers for all of these will be nominated before tbe final alt ina of tba uririMt Majr 2L -iS&L .'r' .'r -sjWvfc

RALPH GINLEY, Owner CHARLES NICHOLS, Mgr.

Home-folks wake up to what this means: One big department store at Indianapolis has bought, equipped and now operates two of these auto trucks to carry its customers to its doors. The result is wonderful. Those cars deliver from five to seven hundred people a day yet this store is located on a street where street cars stop at ics doors two each way every three or four minutes! If they need the auto trucks to furnish proper facilities for their customers, how about Hancock county merchants with four electric roadscutting across the county and no north and south connection between them?

This is not an untried experiment. For seven months the Auto-Traction car has run from Greenfield to Maxwell. It has carried not hundreds but thousands of passengers in that time—the figures seem impossible to many. The extension of this line to Fountaintown on the south and to Fortville on the north is a movement worthy of the best effort and co-operation of every public spirited person in Hancock county. It will tap a great northern section of Shelby county for hojne merchants it will knit our home community together as nothing else could for a comparatively small outlay it will give the north and south connection that Hancock county has needed for twentyfive years. Local pride, home spirit, neighbors first and the outsiders afterwardb is at the bottom of this movement. We must sell $4000 of the preferred stock of the Company now in the treasury to accomplish this great boon for this locality. This preferred stock carries no liability, it is non-taxable to the holder, it guarantees 5 per cent, dividends annnally. Shares are from 0 to $100 in denominations.
