DAWSON IS. WINNER OF CUSSIT, EVENT Youthful Member of National Team Sends His Car Over Tape First.

TDE PALMA LUCKLESS 'Within; Two Laps of Victory Italian's Mercedes Goes Bad on Him. Nattonal Naws AiWcUtlon) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 31. Joe Dawson, youthful pilot of one of the National entries, late yesterday aft ernoon won an unexpected victory in the second annual 500 mile International Automobile Sweepstakes race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. . At the wheel of a giant Mercedes Ralph de Palma had been making new automobile history He had driven a race that was technically perfect and as daring as the occasion required. !Llke a whirlwind he circled the course, making and breaking records as the day vanished. He had been in the lead almost from the start. The first core posted at the end of 20 miles showed De Palma leading. Almost like lightning he had wpund mile, after mile around the speedway oval. Other drivers hung on gamely and tried to wrest the lead from him, bat without avail. De Palma seemed to have the grand prize cinched. He ran 88 of the two-and-a-half-mile laps without even stopping for a change of tires. When he did stop the perfection of his plans was shown. He chang ed tires in 25 seconds, and was off Ulke a shot out of a cannon. , Three times afterward he stopped to change tires without delay sufficient to give Phis opponents an edge on him. Once Teddy Tetzlaff, in his Fiat, was about Urn even terms with DePalma, but he Iconld not get the lead and hold it. Do Palma Out of It. De Palma was fairly burning up the course at a speed that averaged about 81 miles an hour the fastest time in the world's history of any kind of racing. He didn't yield his place at the wheel to a relief driver, fend was going along apparently without a break when the curtain dropped on his chances to win the race and a purse that would have amounted to 9SCK000 or more. He was on his one hundred and jaUety-eighth lap, with only five miles ta f o, when his car seemed to lose its WtaHty in front of the judges' stands, chugged along on two cylinders. De alma headed it gamely into the upjper turn in hopes of being able to make the last two laps before Dawson could overtake him. Dawson was then five and a half laps behind. Seeing his advantage Dawson turned loose all the power in his big racer and it flew like a demon. He passed De Palma twice "and nearly caught him three times on the last lap De Palma was able to make. De Palma was creeping by the judges' stands on his one hundred and ninety-ninth lap when it was seen that his car was all 'in and that Dawson would win in i spite of the magnificent showing De Palma had made and his tired mechanician came pushing the heavy car to i their . pit defeated when victory i seemed assured. An Unexpected Break. It was an unexpected trick of the game that caused their loss. A slight break in the machinery lost him the race which he could have won easily, as Dawson could not have overtaken Mm. .Tetslaff raced in second, with Htighie Vughes, of the Mercer, third. Dawson drove a grand race, being second or third nearly all the way. His teammates, David Bruce-Brown and Wilcox, were not as fortunate, although Wilcox finished the 500 miles. The race was minus the dramatic interest and tragic 'intensity of the one last year. The weather was more perfect so perfect In fact that the track was cool and safer than ever before, causing less tire trouble. For this automobile classic more than 72,000 people assembled, nearly every state and very city in the country being represented. Miles and miles of cars were lined up to the course when the gates were opened, and at least a dozen special trains brought enthusiasts from Chicago, Detroit and other cities. Twice only did death stalk near the intrepid drivers. On the one hundred and fiftyninth lap when Speed King Burman seemed to have a chance to race it out with De Palma, both of the rear tires of his Cutting car exploded. causing the car to turn completely over, landing on Burman and his mechanician, Getz. Thousands rushed to the scene, expecting to find Burman and Getx dead or injured. Neither was seriously hurt. The accident ended Burman's chances. It seemed that he would have finished third or fourth at the worst. Earlier in the race the front wheels of the McFarland car crumpled, but Marquette, pilot and his mechanician, escaped without a scar. One of the Stuts cars driven by Anderson, jumped the track when it blew out a tire, but no one was hurt. Aside from these mild thrillers there was nothing for the big crowd but the wonderful procession of speed. , Dawson a Happy Man. Dawmon averaged 78.6 . miles an hour made by Ray Harroun. who won the race last year in ' his Marmon "Wasp." Harroun's time was 6:42:0& Dawson pulled up .at the National pit with a grin on his grimy face when he was flagged as the winner, and jumped out of the car as if he had been through a short dash. 'v'Tm not tired he said; "Just hapy." ' ! Told that De Palma lost the race onj ly because ; his engine failed him at the one hundred and ninety-eighth 'lap, Dawson grinned again. "I've been up against the sane

Today that feeling began to get pretty slim toward the end of this race, but you never can tell Ml Fred Wegner lets the checkered flag fall." Ralph De Palma, pushing his dead Mercedes to the electric timing wire for the one hundred and ninety-ninth lap, was weary and philosophical. "It was just tough luck," he said, "and that's all. I made the race while I was in it and I suppose if I had used just mule power on the last lap and pushed my car through the two hundredth lap I could have got in the money for a thousand or so, but life is too short."

No Wonder Ha Wouldn't Sell. Captain Amundsen told an amusing story of one of his arctic expeditions. Several of his dogs having died. Captain Amundsen asked one of the natives in his best Eskimo if he would sell him a few dogs. To his surprise, the request was promptly refused. The explorer and the Eskimo bad a long argument, the explorer pointing out that he must get dogs somehow and the Eskimo replying that they never sold them. "Nonsense!" Captain Amundsen exclaimed.' "I have often bought dogs." The Eskimos seemed immensely astonished, and at the end of another argument Captain Amundsen discovered that instead of using the Eskimo word for "dogs" he had been asking the man to sell him some "children."

POOR PLAYING WAS CAUSE FOR DEFEAT Richmond Players Blew Up in the Ninth and the Shamrocks Win.

Poor playing on the part of the Richmond K. I. O. Leaguers yesterday, in the presence of about a thousand fans, lost a close battle to the Cincinnati Shamrocks. The visitors runs were made on raw infield work of the locals, one error being a glaring one. In the last inning Doc Martin and Schattel quarreled over a pop fly back j of second base and 1st the ball drop on the ground. The batter gained second base safely. Then after being advanced on a sacrifice hit he was carried home by a poor play by Powell. Stupp, the short stop, fielded Flaherty's liner and threw to first base. Pow. ell nailed the ball and the runner was out. He then fumbled the ball and dropepd it. Snyder at third walked in home easily while Powell was hunting the ball. This cost Richmond the game. Another incident of like nature happened in the sixth inning. Warner grounded to Martin who never touched the ball and let it go through his legs for two bases. Warner was advanced nn a Tlv mit anrt ramo nnmp nn A Tlv i m ot Th visitors ran bases well throughout the game. Stupp for the lo. . , . , .

Harry Hebble, officer on tho local police force and an old time ball player, umpired the game yesterday. He gave excellent satisfaction.

STRIKING MINERS ATTACK OFFICERS

(National News Association) CHARLESTON, W. Va.. May 31. Striking miners of the Paint Creek Colliery company made an attempt to massacre a dozen Baldwin mine guards today by ambushing them. Three hundred shots were fired at the unarmed detectives on their way from the guard house at the mines to their boarding house for breakfast. All escaped but Detective Hutt, who was seriously but not fatally injured. The operators have asked Governor Glasscock to call out the national guard. The miners at Paint. Creek are the only ones on strike having re-, fused to accept the scale agreed upon. They have armed themselves with rifles discarded by the United States army. City Statistics Deaths and Funerals.

WEIRD TALES TOLO BY THE REFUGEES Who Have Been Brought From Mexico by U. S. Transport Buford. (National News Association) LOS ANGELES, Cat. May 31. Harrowing experiences were related here today by refugees from the west coast of Mexico who arrived on the United

States army transport Buford. The vessel brought 309 men. women and children, 159 disembarking here and the rest going on to San Francisco. H. E. Fayne, a mining engineer of Jalisco said be fled from Mexico because of the peril that menaced all foreigners. "I compared notes with refugees of the Buford and discovered that over 600 foreigners, mainly German or English, had been killed." he asserted. All of the refugees declared that only intervention by the United States would relieve the terrible conditions prevailing in the Southern republic as a result of the revolutionary raids. Joseph Sater told how he and his wife and three children escaped from Rosario, after the town had been ati " v nan imir i l iiitw v i iih re ibiik. -Flying bullets continually menaced the women and children in the town he 8aji "ani we finally secured a buggy drawn by mules. We had to. travel by night and roving bands of guerrillas continually menaced us, but we stood them off wlvh our rifles. "Finally, after traveling three nights we reached Mazatlan and safety." Before the rescue ship arrived the passengers adopted resolutions calling upon the American government to intervene in Mexico. These were forwarded to Washington from here. George W. Goodrich of Denver, said that he and his family had been forced to abandon all his property at Sanborn when threatened by Mexican bandits. I complained to the American Consul at Vera Cruz," he said, "but all he did was to furnish me, transportation to the coast." Refugees who suffered heavy losses as a result of rebel depredations were F. B. Gibson of Culiacan, a British subject and Frederick Herrick, an American rancher of Mazatlan. B. E. Woods, of Guadalajara, said: "Intervention is absolutely necessary. The country is going to rack and ruin. Foreign interests are unprotected." Little Robert had been taught to recite "Mary's Little Lamb" for the ben efit of visitors. One day when called upon to show off he rebelled. "I am' going t o cut it out, mama." he said. "That lamb must be an old sheep by this time." '

Work For the Commercial Club on the Undertakers' Trust I attended the Commercial Club banquet the other evening and listened to the suggestions that would make Richmqnd a better place to live in. I thought it might not be amiss to consider Richmond from the viewpoint of making it a better place to die in. While we are improving conditions hereabout, why not make an investigation into the undertakers' trust, and secure redress for the poor working people who have been forced to pay extortionate prices at the time when they can least afford to? Certainly this would help make Richmond attractive for people who do not want to be made to fear death more than they would ordinarily because of- spiritual emotions. Surely the community ought to be aroused to what has been going on here, for some years. The Commercial club might investigate. and tell us how it was possible for one undertaker, a few years ago a comparatively poor man. to accumulate 25 houses in the south part of the city, five of which are double houses. The club might ascertain how it happens that another says he has enough of this world's goods and is "going to preaching." This man, too, was nearly a pauper, until he engaged in the undertaking business. The Commercial Club, if it so desired, might develop the facts and tell the people of this city how it happens that Indianapolis undertakers sell couch caskets for $50, while in Richmond the same grade of goods is sold at a profit of from $100 to $150. Ordinary caskets sold here for twice as much, are recommended to poor people there at from $20 to $35 each. But they seek to console the bereaved while figuring up how much profit they can make on the job. TTiey tell the family they have had trouble with me, and they want to make arrangements for the cabs and coaches before they leave the house. Their rate is $4 and $5, while mine is $3.00 and $3.50. They do not tell that, nor the reason. I will tell you. My rate doesn't allow them an unfair and unreasonable commission which they have taken for years. My coaches, horses and drivers are as nice as there are in the city. If you are not satisfied with them, I refund your money. But the Coach business is the smallest part of it There are other features in connection with the undertaking business that are on a par with it. This explains the profitableness of the business, and the people ought to wake up, and put an end to extortion and extravagance. HERBERT GREEN, Liveryman 15 South Ninth Street Phone 3125
