INDIANAPODIS, Ind., August 19
Two lives were lost and two records
broken during the inauguration of
the Indianapolis motor speedway today.
William A. Hotirque, driver of the
Knox car In the 250-mlle race, and
Harry Holcoinb, his mechanician.
were killed in the frenzied carnival
of speed.

time of 8.66 4-10, cutting Oldfield's
time of 9.12. Hoth of these are now

Huick Wins.
Robert Burnian, in a, Huick car
won the "iSO-mile race, the feature
of the day, and the contest which
cost Kourquo and Holcoinb their lives.
The winner's time was 4.:)K.57 4-10
slow because of the many accidents
that marred the race. The tstoihlart
l)aytm (Ch-menUO was second in
4.48.01, anl the National (Miry.) lln-
Ished third in 4.62.39 7-10. Another
National with Klncald at the wheel
was the only other car of ton starters
to finish tile long grind.
The death of the two men caused
the American Autnmililc association
to Issue' an nrtltnatnni to the owners
of the big track that certain changes
must be made by tomorrow, or Hie
sanction for the races will le with
drawn. The association demands that
the track le freed from its many dan
gerous ruts which are claimed to be
unavoidable in a new track, and that
every Inch of it be thoroughly oiled
and. tarred. Today only a short po

' Cjr Swerved.
The Knox car driven by Bourque
was" in second p.lare with Burtnan In
his Buick loading. It had covered
nearly one hundred and fifty miles
when the crash' carhe. Coming dnwft
the home stretch, the car suddenly
swerved and tore Into the fence at
the left or the track, turning com
pletely over and pinnlni? Its two oc
cupants boneaith It. Both men were
alive wHien fatten from under the III-
fiUed machine, hut Heiirquo died In
l'.mcrgeiny hospital. Holcomb lived
a few minutes longer.
Theories as to the cause or the ac

know what really causod the car to
swerve from the track.
According to the story told by Pri

the advancement of tlhe theory that

Subject of Court Martial
on High Seas.

WASHINGTON. August 19. David
Williams, a mess attendant oh the
battleship Vermont Is now being tried
by court martial at sea on the ehare
of manslaughter, according to a wire

which occurred on the battleship Ver
mont off Prorincetown. Mass.. be
tween Williams and another mess at
tendant named Harrison H Foster
several weeks ago. The latter went to
his quarters, however and did not ap
ply for medical attention until the
next day, when it was found that his
skull was fractured. He. died a few
hours later.
A naval Inquest was held over his
body and a verdict was rendered that
his death was the result of his head
striking the floor and that no one
wan to blame.
The civil authorities of Massachu
setts, not satisfied with that conclus
ion mad application to the naval au
thorities for the surrender of Williams
to the stAte authorities for trial on
he Charge of manslaughter, whereup
on Rear-Admiral Sehroeder appointed
a regular court of inquiry to make a
thorough Investigation.
The state of Massachusetts In the
meantime withdrew Its application for
the surrender- of Willtams and an
Application of a similar character was
made by the aiithoritins of the state
of Georgia, but In rase of conviction
he will not be surrendered to fieorgia
until he has suffered his punishment.
