By Associated Press. Washington. May 30.—The possi bilities of criminal prosecutioas ot the individual members of the tobacco trust, which was ordered dissovled by the supreme court yesterday, are being carefully considei’ed at the de partment of justice. Neither Attorney General Wicker- sham nor any of his assisttants on the big case would make any state ment today as to the probable course of the government and no de cision on that point is likely to be made for several days. In respect to criminal prosecutions, however, the tobacco case is said to differ somewhat from the Standard Oil cas«. In the latter Attorney Gen eral Wickersham said that no crimi nal prosecutions were under way, but declined to say positively that none was contemplated. Certain questions regarding the application of the stat ute of limitations enter into both cases and it is said that the legal problems involved are very delicate ones. Sentiment in favor of amending the Sherman anti-tru&t law so as to make “every” restraint of trade a violation of the law instead of only ‘unreasonable” restraints was pro nounced by .several senators today as perceptibly reduced by the decis ion of the supreme court in the tobac co case. No intimation, however, of aban doning thep roposed attempt to amend the law has been announced by the senators who introduced amendments in the senate just after the Standard Oil decision. It is said, nevertheless, that the forces of the discontented senators have been re duced and the most stubborn defense of the law and of the interpretation by the court would be made on the floor of the senate if the amend ments are urged for passage. The drastic remedy held over the heads of the defendants in the tobac co case, in event they do not remedy the evils complained of by the court, is said to have strengthened the faith of those who accepted the majority opinion of the court in the Standard Oil case as the proper course. The decree in the tobacco case is talcen by such persons as showing that the Sherman anti-trust law is an in strument by which every evil of this nature in interstate commerce may be crushed out, *‘if the government only possesses the will and the ener gy to do so.” S Thousands Witness Mad Dash of Forty Speed Crazed - Man iacs HfFECTED By DECISION By Associated Press. London, May, 30.—The decision of the United States supreme court holding the American Tobacco Com- pfuiy to be a combination In re straint of trade and a monopoly In violation of law had little effect on American securities today and prices opened a fraction higher.

Indianapolis, Ind., May 30. —At the end of the first 150 miles of the 500 mile automobile race at noon today one mechanician had been killed and a driver perhaps fatally Injured; four of the forty cars that started had withdrawn because of broken parts and David Bruce-Brown, the New York millionaire, driving a Fiat, was leading a long grind that promised to continue until 5:30 this evening. S. P. Dickson, mechanician for Ar thur Greiner of Chlc^o, driving an Amplex car, lost his life in an upset on the back stretch in the thirtieth mile of the race. Grenier suffered sev eral broken ribs and perhaps a concus sion of the brain. Surgeons at the field hospital would not make a statement as to the probable outcome of his in juries. The accident was due to the car casting a front tire. Greined could not hold the car to the track and it skid ded to the infield and whirled com pletely around, tearins off botli back mangled. Grenier was hurled to the track. Bruce-Brown’s time for the 150 miles was 1:59.12 which was a new record, the old mark being 2.01.09 set by Daw son at Atlanta last year. The cars were stnmg out behind the leaders all around the two and one half mile course. The scorching pace burned out the tires and most of the cars had stop ped one or more times at the pits for tire changes. Several of the older drivers apparently preferred to keep up a steady grind 2 or 3 laps behind the leaders. There were few sensation al brushes for leadership in the field. Dave Lewis, mechanician in a Lozier car,, driven by Teddy Tezlaff, was in jured when the car blew a tire in the home stretch in the 17th mile and ran into a Pope-Hartford. TezlafC was un injured and the crew of the Poije Hartford also escaped. Louis Dlsbrow was driving the Poue-Hartford. The Lozier was overturned and the rear in speedway by train, street car and mo tor car. The road leading from the city to the speedway was soon choked with automobiles and at the entrances to the big race course struggled a good natured mob. The crowd moved slow ly because impeded by hundreds of motor cars. i Bleachers Fill Early. The free seats in the great bleachers were filled at 8 o'clock and the grand stand crowd began to arrive on trains. The parking spaces were lined with touring cars. At 7 o’clock the pits along the track edge swarmed with mechanics and tire men laying out their tools where they could be snatched up in an emergen cy. All the drivers were busy about their cars, examining every part for a possible defect. Wagner was the first of the course officials to ap pear and he strictly enforced the rule that no car should be permitted on the course before the race was called. Slept Wi^n Their Cars. Many of the pilots and team mana gers had slept with their cars, fearing that their patient testing might through some mishap come to nothing when the great trial of endurance should put its strain upon the mo tors. The farm houses for miles about the speedway had entertained hundreds of men Interested in one way or anoth er in automobiles and accessories and some of them w'ere as eager that a certain carbueter or magnate or tir^ should “win” he race as was any fan that his favorite driver should finish first.
