BATTLE FOR LEAD DURING CRUCIAL MOMENTS REAL THRILLER
COOL WEATHER
BIG FACTOR IN
SPEEDMAKING
Pace During Early Part of
Race Closely Approaches
Old Marks of DePalma.
BOYER SURPRISES MANY
INDIANAPOLIS MOTOR* SPEEDWAY.
May 31. —Weather conditions, discounting*
a stiff breeze which cut across the ova!,
were almost idea! for speed.
As the fire spitting steel dragons swept
into the wind it required more careful
driving.
The fact that the brick surface did not
heat up under a warm £un was another
important factor to speed.
Tires did not “burn up."
MANY RECORDS
HELD BT I>F. PALMA.
Ralph DePalma set most of the track
records for the course In 1919 during bis
wild chase for thohonors during the early
part of that race.
For the first £OO miles today the
speed was only slightly less than ninety
two miles per hour.
Joe Boyer in his Frontenac set a daz
zling during the first part of the
contest.
His machine performed splendidly
while be was "out* in front.’’ '
DASHES BRING
FANS TO FEET.
The contest between Royer. DePalma
and R Thomas as the 300-mile mark whs
neared was one of tne closest and most
spectacular in the history of the annual
Indianapolis motor classic.
The fans were brought to iheir Kb-n
time and again as the daring pilots
hnrled their machines around the big
“dish."
There was profound regret when it was
announced that Howdy Wilcox was out
ot the race.
He won last year and was picked
one of the favorites this year In his Peu
geot.

out in a spill hnt emerged safely from the
wrecß.
Louis Oieviolet also broke a steering
gear and vent out on a turn, escaping
injury.
At lfK- males only sixteen of the orig
inal twentV-three starters remained.
DEPALM A. LOSES
LEAD TO BOVEB. . |
DePalma lost liis lead through the stop
at the piw and Boyer sprang into the
lead again, DePalnaa dropping back to
fifth place, from which he quick crawled
up to third’ again.
Boyer had not stopped at the end of
200 miles and was driving one of the
most sensational races ever seen on the
Indianapolis track.
* The time flc-r 200 miles was 2 hours. 11
minutes and 13 seconds, an average of
&L 45 miles an hour.
At 250 milei. the halfway post. Boyer
was still holdhng his lead of little more
fhac a lap amd still had not stopped
for tires, gas. or oil. It was a question
of time until h- would have to stop.
DePalma. in third place, was drivng
like mad to rasch the fleeting Fronte
nac, and it seemed certain that the pair
would go into the last half neck and
neck.
Roseoe Sarles. driving Gaston Chevro
let's Monroe, was In second place.
REXE THOMAS
TAKES LEAD.
Boyer stopped at 2V> miles, put in oil
and gas and was awav in 1 minute 44
seconds without changing tires. When
Boyer stopped Rene Thomas, the French
winner of 1914. went into the lead. De-
Palma went into second place, with Boyer
in third.
Thomas enjoyed the lead but a few
minutes for at 275 miles DePalma
little more than three seconds behind, and
on the next lap he caught the French
man and took the lead away from him.
Thomas dropped back and a moment
later stopped for four new tires. This
left DePalma and Boyer again battling
for first honors, with the advantage
slightly with the former, only -half a
lap separated them
Boyer lost five precious minute* at
the 350- mile mark when he had to go into
the pits to 'change a oarbnretor part.
DePalma gained three laps on him and
Gaston Chevrolet, in a Monroe, slipped
into second place to challenge DePalma's
leadership. DePalma was averaging 1*0.47
miles an hour.
Spectators poured into the large in
closure early and by the time the race
got under way the crowd was estimated
at 90.000.
Every possible precaution had been
taken by the management to prevent a
tecurrence of the accidents which last
year snuffed out the lives of Thurman.
Lecocq and Mo.inaro.
The two and one-half mile brick track
has been scoured and scrubbed foot by
foot.
Each car was carefully tested before
it was allowed to go to the post.
Each driver was examined immediately
before the race by the speedway physi
cian before he could start the r>o<>-mile
grind.
With only twenty-three starters the
opportunities for speed are greater and
the possibility of accidents minimized, of
ficials believed.
There was a noticeable difference In the
s.ze of the cars this year as compared
with last year.
They were much smaller and lighter.
These engines are said to have greater
speed than the heavier ones and en
gineers say that every ounce of weight
carried militates against the driver.
Great interest in the new style engines
Is being manifested by manufacturers
who believe that they will eventually dis
place the heavier motors.
BOIL LOT FIRST
TO APPEAR.
Andre Boilett in a Peugeot car was
first to appear on the track at 9:25 a tn
At 9:3d it was announced that the j
greatest crowd in thp history of the
speedway was inside the grounds.
Standing room along the rail in the
middle field wa- at a premium.
A veritable sea of cars was parked in
side the grounds, while the crowds were
steadily pouring in the gates as post time j
drew near.
A* starting time approached the sky
clouded and a stiff wind blew across the
course.
Barney Oldfield was at the wheel of
the pacemaking car and he sent the
speed destroyers away in a flying start
that drew a mar of applause that fairly
shook the stands.
Women spectators were nearly as nu
merous as the men and the stands fairly
blaaed with color. \
Thousands of autos were parked in the
expansive infield bearing licenses from
many states.
As noonday approached the crowd in- ,
creased and it wts believed that the at- !
tendance would reach the 100.000 mark.
Four previous winners competed—Wii
cox, DePalma. Thomas and Goux —and
each occupied a foreign car.
• Wilcox, last year's winner, being an
Indianapolis resident, vied with Louis
Chevrolet for popularity among local
race fans present.
Gaston Chevrolet, also an Indianapolis
resident* also bad hundreds of admirers

Ralph \PePalma “burning the breeze" before the judges' stand in making up time in his first lap
of the big isace.
Delayed by; a flax tire in making the
start in the race tdiay Ralph DeiPalma,
one of the favorites in the hoe spin,
turned loose his Baflot when his pitmen
of racers were Bennie* Hill tn a Frontenac
and Pete Henderson In a Reverp.
The Chevrolet brothers drove local
built Monroes and their hard working
efforts to bring an all-Indianapolis vic
tory won them thousands of followers.
The three nations by dri
vers were France Italy and America, only
two of these nations. Trance and Amer
ica. having cars in thae race.
The citizens' lap prise of $20,000* added
to the determine. !on off the pilots to keep
their mounts moving at a record speed
because, according to the terms, of the
fund. 100 was to be awarded to the
driver leading the field each lap.
The speedway ssojooo prize was to be
split ten ways, with $20i)00 to the win
ner. In addition prizes offered by manu
facturers and accessory firms totaled
about $15,000.
The race today was the richest money
event of the local speedway's history.
Long before .'tarrtng time ewery road
leading to Speedway City was chok“d
with automobiles.
Big cars and little cars, limcaisines and
motorcycles of every conceivable shape
and color conirlbutedV to the- unending
procession.
The air was filled with the drumming
of motors. The odor -of gas and oil
was stifling.
Cars from California .and Maine, from
Florida and Canada, punned their dusty
noses throng the jam of traffic. At the
gates of the speedway the congestion
was intensified. Steam trains and trol
ley cars emptied a steady stream of hu
manity which just as steadEy poured
through the gates and ’lost itself within
the big inclosure.
But everybody was happy. The spirit
of a Hoosier holiday was in the air and
nothing short of rain could dampen it.
Rain Sunday nijkht relieved the mid
sumrriery heat, and ‘cooler weather was
in prospect for the entire race today.

Nationalist Movement Extends
Despite Reprisal Talk by
Sultan’s Followers.
ARMY OFFICERS JOIN
CONSTANTINOPLE, May 31—While
keeping an eye anxiously on San Remo.
Damad Fertd Pashas professedly B ft
nationalist government is showing fresh
energy in arresting adherents of the
Anatolizn movement and promising the
sternest repressive measures to stamp
out the movement led by Mustapha K>-
inal.
They have not. however. prevented the
flight of more than 209 officers of ail
rank* from Constantinople to Anatolia,
including Gen. Freizid Pasha, who was
recently a high official at the war of
f'ce
They have finally arrested the leading
members of the nationalist committee
at Scutari, which, since the f*ooupnUon,
has been working openly in conjunction
with the headquarters at Angora, for
warding fugitives of all classes from
the capital unhindered by the govern
ment which until recently had not even
had sentries posted on the roads lesd'nq
to Asia minor.
There has been a regular procession
cf military and civil volunteers for
Mnstaphs's forces passing the Bospho
rus and taking up the Anatoltaa trail
In oxcarts.
Meanwhile Mastapha'c forces are not
ing vigorously while Constantinople
ttlks. Anznvur. who was beaten back
to the const exhausted through lack of
t.'en and munitions, came here recently,
saw- the sultan and (he grind vizier
and appealed for help, which he salr?
was essential to revitalize the ant! na
iionalist movement.
MuMapha * forces north of Smyrna are
trying to sweep westward to retake th
country occupied by Anztivur's peasant
volunteers
They already have captured Gunnn.
Their progress is marked by the hsrsh
esr reprisals against tile local authorities
who assisted the rising against the An
gora dictator.
Mustapha's chief of staff, who visited
Brouses this week, ordered the hanging
of twenty seven notable* in the market
plac* and two others it Karajabngh
The grand vizier promises that a sum
mary court martin! shall be organized
within three days to try the arrested na
llonallsts and will inflict severe punish
ments in order to “remove the bad Im
pression created in Europe" by the in
effectiveness of the present measures
(Note Mustapha Kemnl, Ail Fuad
Pasha. Alfred Rustem Rev. Dr Adnnn
Bey and several others were recently con
detuned to death by an extraordinary
court-martial. Mustapha and his aides
failed to appear before the court and
were found guilty by default on charges
that the agitation of the nationalists
caused the allies to impose severe pence
terms on Turkey, The action of the
court, tt was reported, caused much
amusement among foreigners in Con
stantinople, as the government of the
sultan has no authority in Anatolia.)

U. S. RICE CROP
AT NEW RECORD
Production Decline in India
Turns Business Here.
NEW ORLEANS. May 31.—The fiscal
year ending June 30. 1620. will set a
record In production and exportation of
rice in the bolted States, according to the
report of the Rice Millers' association.
Just issued.
Exports from July 1, 1919, to the end
of February 1920. were 315.717.426
pounds, as compared with 84,985.412
pounds for the sarue period 1918. 1610.
or an increase of more than 200 per cent.
Valuation of the exports of July-Feb
ruary, 1919. 1920 l* placed at $84,985,412.
with prices constantly rising in all parts
of the world.
Exports for February, 1920* to*aled
tki.7tJ5.757 pounds, or fHr more than the
exports o' rice for any one year from
!9* ** to 19-4. inclusive
Tt Is pointed out that the shortage In
rice Is due to the falling off of produc
tion in India, the largest rice-growing
country In the world
Ordinarily, the total acreage for India
amounts to about 84t.0ftft.000. hut the past
■season's returns showed only 76,00b.000
acres, with a lower yield per acre than
ever before in the history of the indus
try In India.
This reduced the output from nor
mil 35.250,000 jon* to 23.500.000 tons, and
India has been compelled to compete for
the Burmah surplus, amounting to about
300,000.000 pounds, but short production
in Burmah, likewise, reduced this pro
duction to only Iflo.ooo.ooft pounds
The Slam crop also t largely a fall
ure. and the only remaining source from
which the world can draw its rice sup
ply is the T nited States and Saigon,
while the output of the latter is not
enough to figure largely or beneficially
in the total

INTERVENING TO

Foreign Relations Committee
Makes Exhaustive Re
ports to Senate.
785 AMERICANS VICTIMS
WASHINGTON, May 31.—Inter
vention in Mexico by the United
States, as it intervened in Cuba, un
less further bloodshed and destruc
tion of property is ended by the
Mexicans, is proposed in an ex
haustive report on Mexican affairs
approved by the foreign rela
tions committee and reported to the
senate this afternoon by Senator
Lodge. Massachusetts, republican
leader.
Absolute protection of Americau lives,
preopert.v and rights in Mexico as an
iron-clad condition of recognition by the
Doited States of the new- provisional
Mexican government and of De La Hu
erta as president is demanded in the re
port. which wag submitted to the foreign
relations committee by Senator Albert
B .Fall, republican. New Mexico, as
chairman of the senate committee which
has been investigating Mexican affairs
for a number of weeks.
The demand is made by the Fall com
mittee in its report that “nonp of the
provisions of th? Mexican constitution
w-tth reference to limitations upon rights
of property heretofore acquired by Amer
leans, or which may hereaftpr be ac
quired. shall applx to Americans, except
where the limitation is written in the
deed, lease or other instrument es title,
particularly the provision that the sub
soil products other than of Mefalfferous
minerals shall be the property of the na
tional government of Mexico."
It is also insisted that the prohibition
against the ownership of property in
lands, waters or their appurtenances, or
against the concessions for the develop
ment of mines, waters, or mineral fuels
tn the republic to foreigners, shall no*
apply to American citizens. ,
755 AMERICANS
! VICTIMS OF OUTRAGES.
i The report gives 785 as the total of
Americans killed, wounded and outraged
; !n Mexico or on the Mexican border In
i tbe last ten years, and estimates the
1 American losses in Mexico at $505,002,434
| The report suggests that ts this govern
j ment recognizes anew Mexican govern- j
! ment that tt aid in establishing a Mex- |
lean army whieh shall disarm all other
military faction*
! "O ir course should be clear." regarding !
Mexico and “we should follow one policy," j
the report states, vtr:
“A -Watt before recognizing Gov. De
La Huerta as president of Mexico until
It shall be assured that bis election t*
approved by the Mexican people and that
his administration is possessed of,stabil
ity to endure and of the disposition to j
comply with the rnles of the International -
comity and the obligations of treaties
“B We should let everyone who as
sumes to exercise authority in any part
of Mexico know in the most unequivocal
ws.r that we shall vigilantly witch the
fortunes of those Americans who can not
get away, and shall hold those re- !
sponsible for their sufferings and losses
to a definite reckoning. That can be and
will be made pbfin beyond the possibility i
of a misunderstanding
"C Repeat to the Mexicans now what
Evans said tn 187.8:
** 'The first duty of a government 1* to
protect life and property. This Is a
paramount obligation. For this govern
ments are instituted and governments
neglecting or failing to perform it be
come worse than useless This duty, the
government of the United States has de
termlned to perorra to the extent of its
power towsrd Its citizen* on tbe border.' "
URGES NATIONAL
LOAN TO MEXICO.
The report states that, having recog
nlttii any Mexican government upon the
conditions specified the United States
shall lend "not only tbe moral support,
but financial aid without stlut In so far
as same Is necessary for the refunding
of all Mexican bonds, including external
as well as the internal debt, with addt
tlonal funds in sufficient amounts to re
habilitate all Mexican railroads and to
maintain same, and also sufficient
amounts to enable the recognized govern
ment to re establish, organize and thor
oughly equip a purely national army not
belonging to any particular chief, chief
tain or general, but operating solely un
der the national government, which shall
immediately proceed where necessary to
disarm all other armed forces or indi
viduals in the republic: together with
sufficient funds to enable the Mexican
government to buy and pay for all arms
and equipment which may be brought in
and surrendered by individuals or armed
bands or so-called armies.
•'Preferably this aid should be extend
ed by the people of the United States as
a national loan from them to the people
of Moxico, upon long time and with mod
erate rates of interest, so that Mexico
may nos be compelled to refund her debt
and finance her necessities through ap
pea! to individuals and by granting spe
cial privileges and concessions to such
Individuals."
The demand that Mexico enter into n
treaty with the United States, whereby
full and adequate guarantees for the
resorntion of law and order In Mexico
would be provided, is also made in the
report.
“We have a legal right and it is our
duty to refuse to recognize any gov
ernment in Mexico which will not agree
by way qf treaty," the report states, “to
conditions which will guarantee the pre
vention of a recurrence of the bloody re
gime of Carranza."
