MULFORD IN SECOND PUCE
One Man Killed and Four Injured In
Bitterly Contested Struggle at In
dianapolis.
Ray Harroun, driving a Marmon 32,
is the winner ol' the international
500-mile automobile rate at Indian
apolis, Ind., and when Starter Joe
Wagner waved his Hag over Harroun
as lie passed under the wire, thus do
daring him the winner, the crowd
went wild, rushed out on the track,
took tlie driven from the car and car
ried him about the course on their
shoulders.
Ralph Mulford, in a Lozier, was a
close second, and David Bruce-Brown
in a Fiat was third. Wishart in a
Mercedes, was fourth; De Palma, in a
Simplex, fifth; Charles Merz, in a Na
tional, sixlh; W. M. Turner, in Am
ple*:, seventh; Harry Cobe, in Jack
son, eighth; Fred Hotelier, in Knox,
ninth; Hugh C. Hughes, in a Mercer,
tenth; l,ee Frazer, in Firestone, elev
entli, and Oil Anderson, in Stutz, waf
twelfth.
The time for the 500 miles was
6.41.8, an average of close to seventy
live miles an hour for the entire race.
As the contest drew to a close onl)
twenty-eight of the forty cars whicl;
had started remained in the race. One
after another they had become dis
abled and dropped out.
The man who was killed in the race
was S. P. Dickson, mechanician for
Arthur Greiner, of Chicago, driving
an Aniplex car. He lost his life in an
upset on the back stretch in the thir
tieth mile of the race. Greiner sus
tained several broken ribs and a frac
tured arm. He is expected to re
cover.
The accident was due to the car
casting n front tire. Greiner cjuiu uw
hold the car to the track and it skid
ded to the infield and whirled com
pletely around, tearing off both back
wheels. Dickson was thrown twenty
feet against a fence. His body was
terribly cut and bruised. Greiner was
hurled to the track.
Sets New Record.
Bruce-Brown, in his Flat, who was
leading at the end of the first 150
miles, but who was displaced soon
after, established a record for the dis
tance, 1.59.12. The old mark was
2.01.00, set by Dawson at Atlanta last
year. t
The cars were strung out behind
the leaders all around the course. The
scorching pace burned out the tires
and most of the cars had stopped one
or more times at the pits for tire
changes. Several of the older drivers
apparently preferred to keep up a
steady grind two or three laps behind
the leaders. There were few sensation
al brushes for leadership in the field.
Aitken, in a National, was the first
to get away. In the first lap the cars
strung out all around the course. Ait
ken held thi with De Palma
(Simplex) second, and Wishart (Mer
cedes) third.
At the end of fifty miles Aitken held
the lead. His time fas 41 miuutes and
7 seconds. Bruce-Brown was second,
De Palma third.
After the fifty mile mark was pass
ed Bruce-Brown slipped into the lead.
The first car to stop at the pit for
repairs was the Bulck, driven by Ar
thur Chevrolet. He had tire trouble
and lost a few minutes making a
change. Wistar (Mercedes) blew a
front tire and went to the pit. He was

Mix-Up In Front of Grand Stand.
In a mix-up of Lytle's Apperson, j
Knight's Westcott and Jagersberger'a ■
Case, directly in front of the grand i
stand, John Glover, Knight's mechani
cian suffered an injury to the spine.
The others of the three crews escaped
anything more serious than bruises by |
a wonderfully fortunate set of circum- i
stances.
The throng in the grand stand rose ;
to its feet when it appeared that the j
crews of the cars must be crushed to
death in the crash. A woman sitting
in a box dropped from her chair in a
faint.
Wagner, the starter, risked his own
life by running out on the track and
directing the trailing drivers out of
the way of the wrecked Case. Lar-
Bonneur, the mechanician, lay dazed
In the center of the track for a full
minute while cars darted by at either
side of him. Then he unsteadily rose
to his feet and staggered blindly. The
crowd screamed at him "Look out!"
The man then steadied himself and
limped to the side of the track.

LAPORTE, SULLIVAN COUNTY PA. FRIDAY, JUNE 2, 191 1.
DIAZ RESIGNS
AS RESIDENT
Oe la Barra Now Head of
Sooihern Republic.
IKE RIOTING HAS CEASED
Abdication of Mexican Dictator Re
ceived With Great Enthusiasm. '
Seven Killed In Rioting.
i
President Diaz, of Mexico, resigned
his office in a letter to the chamber '
[ of deputies, which was read Thursday
: afternoon. The resignation was ac
cepted, and there was not a voice
raised in dissent or protest.
The announcement of the accept- j
I ance was received in grim silence,
j This was in strong contrast to the
uproar, almost rioting, which filled the
chamber while the populace outside
was clamoring for Diaz's resignation. .
The resignation of Vice President
Ramon Corral was read, following the '
letter of Diaz. It was also accepted, !
and then the chamber of deputies for- j
mally chose Minister of Foreign Af
fairs Francisco Leon de la Barra as J
provisional president, to serve until a (
general election can be held. Senor
de la Barra was sworn in at tho na
tional palace.
In the streets, which were crowded
with people, the news of the presi
dent's abdication was the signal for
wild demonstrations of enthusiasm.
There was no rioting.
General Porflrio Diaz left for Vera
Cruz to sail at once for Europe.
The ex-president's party included
his wife and children, a number of
men prominent in the fallen adminis
tration and officials of the Mexican
Natolnal railway.
The railway company provided a
special train for the general and his
party. General Diaz, his wife and
family, and probably some of the re
tiring officials who accompanied him, '
will board the steamship Ypiranga and
§aU»' "!!" 1 RtftlfJut'ft-ljJP Hie- imrtV fl/ln
take passage and sail for Santander,
Spain, where General Diaz will spend '
the rest of his days.
The police fired on a crowd in front 1
of the department of foreign relations.
One man was killed.
The Zocalo, from the national pal
ace, was the goal of all, but various
bands paraded the business section
searching for followers, and one par
ticularly vigorous faction made a tour
of La Colonia Belso, a slum section
of the city. Their efforts were partly
successful. Barely 200 started from
the central part of the city, marching
toward Peralvilla, turning eastward
for a lew squares, then back toward
Zocalo, where they gathered recruits
from residents of that quarter. Thou
sands were in the line of march when
it merged on the Zocalo.
From the national palace, especially
at the central entrance, mounted po
lice and soldiers were massed.
In the cathedral on the north side
troops were stationed and machine
guns were masked in the ancient
bufidings.
When the mob from the Colonia
Belsa arrived the troops had just be
gun to rout one particularly thick
gathering. Turning their attention to
the latest invaders of the big square
they charged them at a trot.
Hundreds of the latest arrivals car
ried over their shoulrers rifles and
long strips of boards, but no effort at
resistance was made.
Curious hundreds, not really part of
the mob, scattered at every sign of
danger, only to return again.
Meanwhile workmen employed by
the city continued as well as possible
to repair macadam being laid on the
Zocalo.
Officially the government maintained
a semblance of uninterrupted work,
but throughout the business section of
the city there was little trade. Busi
ness houses continued with shutters
placed over them, and there were com
paratively few open for trade.
Gore Out For Wilson.
Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, came
out in t letter strongly indorsing Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson, of New Jer
sey, for the Democratic nomination
for president.
Wilson's friends look on the Gore
letter as added evidence that the
progressive Democrats of the south
and west are rapidly turning to the
governor. Gore is recognized as one
of the progressive wing of the senate
Democrats.

"Why, I hardly know Major Butt,

TOBACCO TRUST !
MUSTDISSOLVE
Supreme Court Gives Govern
ment Great Victory.
AN ILLEGAL COMBINATION
American and British-American Tobac
| co Companies Are a Monopoly and
I Are Given Six Months to Reorganize.
Evasion Strictly Guarded Against.
I The American Tobacco company and
Its accessories and subordinate corpor
ations and companies, including the
English corporation, the British
j American Tobacco company, were
held by the supreme court of the
1 United States to be co-partners in a
combination illegal under the Sherman
anti-trust act.
I The court sent the case back to the
lower court with directions to hear
further the parties so as to ascertain
whether a new condition could not bo
re-created in harmony with the law.
At the same time it specifically guards
against any evasion of the decree.
Justice Harlan concurred in part
with the court's opinion and dissented
in part.
Tho decision was handed down by
the chief justice, after a day devoted
to clearing the calendars for adjourn
ment till next fall.
It comes as the end of a long fight,
second only perhaps to that of the
government against the Standard Oil,
the decision in which was handed
down two weeks ago.
The court decreed:
"First—That the combination in and
of itself, as well as each and all of its
elements composing it, whether cor
porate or Individual, whether consid
ered collectively or separately, be de
creed to be in restraint of trade and
an attempt to monopolize and a mo
nopolization within the first and sec
ond sections of the anti-trust law.
"Second—That the court below, in
Gdor.. «- ivy - _ /- - -
hear the parties, by evidence or oth
erwise, as it may be deemed proper
for the purpose of ascertaining and
determining upon some plan or method
of dissolving the combination and of
recreating, out of tho elements now
composing it, a new condition which
shall be honestly in harmony with and
not repugnant to the law.
"Third—That for the accomplish
ment of these purposes, taking into
view the difficulty of the situation, a
period of six months is allowed from
the receipt of our mandate, with
leaves, however, in the event, in the
judgment of the court below, the ne
cessities of the situation require to
extend such period to a further time
not to exceed sixty days.
"Fourth —That in the event, before
the expiration of the period thus fixed,
a condition of disintegration in har
mony with the law is not brought
about, either as the consequence of
the action of the court in determining
an issue on the subject or in accepting
a plan agreed upon, it shall be the
duty of the court, either by way of an
injunction restraining the movement
of the products of the combination in
the channels of interstate or foreign
commerce, or by the appointment of
a receiver, to give effect to the re
quirements of the statute."
Pending the bringing about of the
result, directed by the court, each and
all of the defendants, indivfdual as
well as corporations, are to be re
strained from doing any act which
might further extend or enlarge the
power of the combination, by any
means or device whatsoever.
Farmer Kills Wife and Himself.
O. P. Falrchild, a farmer, fifty yeara
old, killed his wife by shooting her
in the head, and then shot himself in
the head, both dying instantly, at the
Fairchild home, ten miles west of Har
risonburg, Va. Domestic troubles caus
ed the tragedy.
Parachute Jumper Has Narrow Escape
Fieretta Lorenz, a triple parachute
performer, after accidentally cutting
the wrong parachute rope, fell from a
height of nearly 1000 feet at Ashe
ville, N. C. Her parachute got caught
In some electric wires, which saved
her life.
| Widow Gets $6280 Damages.
i Mrs. Catherine Hippie, of Spring
City, has been awarded $6280 damages
by a Jury in Pottsville, Pa., against
the Edison Illuminating company, of
that city. Her husband, George Hip
pie, was killed by a live wire of the
company in 1908.
Giant Meteor Falls.
The fall of a giant meteor caused
consternation throughout Lassen
county, Cal. When the blazing missile
struck Tula mountain the shock was
felt for thirty miles, causing the earth
1 to tremble as If from a nearthquake.

- !
President Taft Refuses to I
I
Pardon Him.
Pardons Denied Convict Bankers.
President Taft denied the applica
tion for pardon of Charles W. Morse,
the former New York banker, serving !
a flfteen-year sentence in the federal
penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga„ and John
R. Walsh, the Chicago financier, who
is serving a five-year sentence at
Leavenworth, Kan.
Permission is given by the president
to Morse to renew his application for
pardon after Jan. 1, 1913. As Walsh
is eligible for parole after next Sep
tember, when he will have served two
thirds of his sentence, the president
refused to take any action whatever
in his case.
In deciding against Morse and
Walsh, the president lias resisted the
most powerful influences that have
been brought to bear upon him on any
subject since he entered the White
House. In his memorandum^ a.nnouijc
nent persons who have petitioned in
behalf of the prisoners, and adds that
they appparently fail to appreciale the
liish importance to society that such
criminal breaches of trust as Morse
and Walsh are guilty of should be se
verely punished.
The Wyoming Launched.
The United States launched in Phil
adelphia a new dreadnought in the
20,000 ton batleship Wyoming, which,

went down the ways in the Cramps'
shipyard, named by Miss Dorothy
Eunice Knight, daughter of former
Chief Justice Jesse Knight, of Wyom
ing, in the presence of Governor
Carey and a delegation of visitors ;
from the state for which the ship is .
named.
Cheers from the crowd assembled on
the launching stand, and at points of I
vantage nearby, g eeted the monster :
irodclad as she slipped into the water.
Secretary Meyer, of the navy depart- :
ment, and many naval officers saw the
ceremony.
The Wyoming is one of six first
class battleships under construction.
The Arkansas was the first in the wa
ter of this new size and type. The
length over all is 550 feet, her beam |
at the water line is 93 feet, and her
displacement is 26,000 tons.
