Indiatiapolia, Ind., May JO.—Tommy | Milton, of St. Paul, Minn., achieved [ »>• ambition of his brilltnnt rating career today, when, for the *econd timo.hr won the MM) mil* automobile race over th« Indlanapoli* motor ■peedwav, repeating hia victory of HUM hefore a t'rnw1 of 150 000 spec tator*. It wan th.- greatest throng that '• rr wltnease.1 u sporting event in Ami ruta. Milton's time for the r.on-miio was 5:28:06:27, giving him an average speed of 91.4 mile* an hour, an eom with th* record-breaking speed (IT 04.48 made a year ago. Harry Harts, of Loa Anirrlen. who thundered acroea the finiahing line five mllea behind Milton, while Jimmy Murphy, winner of the 1#t2 race, wa» thied, about IS mile* behind Hartr.

Milton, who collected about $35,000 an hia reward for victory, gave a wonderful exhibition of gaiaeneaa, ■kill and daring, aa he waa puahe4 every mile of the race by the thunder ing speed marvel* attempting to de feat him. Howard Wilcox, an In dianapolis driver, shared in Milton'i triump, for after hi* own car waa eliminated, he relieved Milton, whose hand* were painfully blistered aa a result of gripping the wheel. Wilcox drove 115 mile* of the race, taking the wheel at the 2fl0-mile mark to enable Milton to have hia hand* treat* ed and bandaged. Milton went hack into the race at the 375-mile mark, two lap* in the lead.

Murphy arid Kartz first ons going into the lead and then the other. When Milton had covered 150 miles, •however, he was firmly entrenched in firnt place and held it until the finish, ••xcept for a few minute* around the 275-mile mark, when he lost it to Hartz hv stopping at the pita for fuel Werner, the (i«'rman, worried the lead ers hy his (Trim hold on third place until n« arly the finish. Wilcox also made things interesting until he was forced to quit with a broken clutch around the 200-mile mark. He was leading at 100 miles. Murphy furnished the race with thrill after thrill, mile after mile, first holding first place, sometimes second, third, fourth and fifth. He showed some rare bursts of speed which undoubtedly on the stretches were better than 100 miles an hour The youthful Califomian, however, suffr ed slight motor trouble and at one lime was forced to drop back to ninth place. He gained steadily as he reeled off the miles, finally push ing his car into third place, retaining this position until the finish. Perhaps the most disheartened driv ers in the race were the two South Americans, Raoul Riganti, of Buenos Ayres, and Martin De Alseaga, from the Argentine. Dc Aiseaga, who '.rav eled 7,000 miles to compete, drove only 15 miles in the race when a broken connecting rod forced his hlue speedster out of the grind. Rigranti was obliged to quit after going 47 miles because of a broken gas tank. Ralph De Palma, always a favorite with race fans, Joe Boyer and Dario Resto, a former winner of the race were among the noted drivers to be forced out because of Bin tor trouble. Racing experts considered Milton's victory a mechanical triump over the foreign entries and the first three car* to finish were of the same design and construction. All were eight-cy linder creations. The speed maintain ed by Milton was remarkable, in that his machine was powered by a motor of only 122 cubic inches piston dis placement—about two thirds as large an the smallest motor used in touring 'tars in America. Today's race was the first for mo tors of such small displacement, the race last year being for 184 cubic inch piston displacement The thrill of today's race was nothing to In dianapolis compared to the task of caring for 100,000 visitors. CLAUD KITCHEN PASSES TO HIS MEWAftD Member of Conffne 23 Ymuti Early Political Li#. Wu * Storm. I Scotland ttprk, May 31.--The body of Claud Kitchen, representative of tha taeond North Carolina district for more than it score of ynn, and one of the moat powerful member* of the Democratic ^>arty in Congre**, who passed peacefully away at Wil son early today, aftaf an illness that extended over a perirtd of more than tlfree years. readied here late to day and lira in •ffltp tonight at the Kitchen home. T*e funeral of the former Dem ocratic frader of the house, affection ately referred to a* "the irrntieman from Scotland Neck." hy hi* col league* in Congress, will take place at S o'clock tomorrow eveninir. The seryices will he conducted by the Re». Chart** Anderson, pastor of the local Baptist church, of which My Kitchen had been a memlir for many year*. He will he buried in the family plot at the Baptist cemetery, one mil* from Scotland %eck, near the gra»e of hjs father, who also represented thi* diatrict in Congress. In the 28 year* of hi* service* in the hou*c of representatives, includ ing four year* aa it* leader during Democratic control, Claud Kitchen never once loat hi* temper in the thick of bitter and itormy debate. Hi* big, round, red face always wa* lighted with a smile or a grin "a* he slaughtered the enemy," and Republi can* often declared that Kitchen kept smiling "a« he operated on them be fore the country." Rack in the days when he waa a struggling young North Carolina law yer Kitchen's temper was like that of a wild man, as he himeelf ex pressed it. One day a country trial justice decided a case against him end Kitchen started to dean up the court. It was an exciting moment. "And then it suddenly occurred to me," he told friend* later, "that if I expected to get along I had to pat tea on my head and a bridle on my ton cue. Right then and there I decided I would never get mad with arryhodv a^ain." .mmM iv ;nann, a vereran repre sentative from Illinois, who often crossed swords with Kitchen in the hou«*\ declared on the occasion of the latter'* retirement a* Democratic lender, that he was vicious in debate I because his attacks, like brick in a towel, were wrapped in *miles. Kitcher's greatest fight with hi* legislative conscience came when the house wan railed upon to declare war against the tinman government in 19!7 Congre«« was wildly excited. Word passed hack and forth smon; memlvets that the majority leader would vote against it. Later, on the afternoon of April fl. members on the leader's family and some of hi* most intimate friends were in his o'*ice. For once the leader had lost his smile. He was weary and tagged from loss of sleep. He told the group that he could not bring nis conscience to the point of voting for war. lhat his right as leader because of it would be chal lenged. but that he didn't care be cause his heart ipoke against it. Then he went to the house cham ber—with every seat filled and a vast throng in the gallery—and during a tense and dramatic moment, took his stand against war. But once war was declared Kitchen ! threw hi* support, whole-heartedly into the fight, and Championed every i move hy the government for victory. There were times, it was said, when he was at odds with President Wilson Ht White House conferences, but his political enemies never doubted his patriotism after the weight of Amer ican arms had been thrown on the Hide of the allies. In the early days of 1919, Kitc'nen, when a Republican house elected the preceding fall was waiting to come into power, went tio the front as the party leader with the biggest war revenue bill ever framed by an Amer-1 lean Congress. Ke put it through. Long a member of the ways and means committee which framed the j bill. Kitchen had every figure at his finger tips. Fordney, of Miofcigan, who succeeded him as chairtMft of; the committee, fought him at ev^ry step. It was during the revenue bill de-1 bate, while the house was consider- j ing a luxury tax on shirts that Kitchen Standing before hundreds of well dress ed men, declared he had never paid more than $2 for a shirt in his jifa. His plea for simplicity in dress while the country wu tmrdenad with the hi« ooet of war wu taken up by the prm, and two-dollar shirta war* urg ed. Not ton* after the big revenue bill fight Kitchen waa stricken. For a long time ha lay In had, trying to tret wall, but It waa not ai. aaay thing for a man, *o long in public llfa, to shake off the old, habit. Feeling bet ter, he went ba^k to the old grind, only to he stricken again. A new party had oomc into power. Chanp Clark, stepping down from the speaker'* chair became minority lender, with Kitchen aa ranking mem ber of the way* and mean* committee. When Cha^p Clark died. Kitchen waa made minority leader but being*t,ill then at bin home in North Carolina,1 he imked that Finis J. Garrett, of Ten nessee, be designated an acting leader, in the effort to hold the dwindling rank* of Democrat* in line. Claud Kitchen, who waa born March 24, 1JM8, first came to Congreaa in 1901, aerving continuoualy thereafter. On the cioeing night of that Con gress—the 57th—be attracted atten tion by a fiery ipeech against French spoliation claims. From that day bis reputation aa a houae debater waa made Ha was born in the district h« represented. He waa the son of a Congressman and his boother, Wil liam W, Kitchen, served five terms in the house prior to his s'ection as governor of North Carolina. During s hot political campaign in his diatrirt in 1808 Kitchen attracted public attention by taking an active part fh what » « known aa 'the red' shirt movement," a revival of Demo cratic tactics in tome southern states in reconstruction times. It was or ganized by the white people, chiefly Democrats, for the avowed purpose of eliminating the negro in politics and office holding But it* purpose were peaceful. Thousand* rode to the first public meeting in Kitchen'* district in red buggie*. and horse* draped with red, wearing red shirts, red hat*. «ome even digging up the old red trousers of 'ox hunting day*.

He was quickly removed [ from the capitol to hi* Washington home. He was accord"! a mos* en-1 thusiastic ovation when he returned to his seat in December of th" S' me year. Mr. Kitchen did not retain his 'eat long, however, for dizzy spells beiran to Imther him and he again j ivh« forced to gn to his home. On the advice of a physician, Mr. Kitchen entered a hospital in Albany, N. Y.. where he underwent an opera-J t on. Reports from Albany were to 'he effect (hat the operation was suc cessful and one of Mr. Kitchen's friends thought he would noon be able to resume the leadership in the | house. Shortly after his return from Albany to Washington Mr. Kitchen again was attacked with dizzy spells and last year he returned to his old home at Scotland Neck, Halifax coun ty to take a Ion* rest. While at Scotland Neck last winter Mr. Kitchen contracted influenza which developed into pneumonia. Lit tle hope was held out for his recovery during this illness, but he made a wonderful fight for life and won. r This illness left him with a stomach j trouble which gradually grew worse | until it resulted in his death here; 'oday. % inuring the long months of suffer ing. Mr Kttchfn always maintained, that bright cherful and courageous disposition which characterised his more than 20 years on the floor of | Congress. From the moment he en tered the hospital in Wilson hun-1 Jreds of friends from far and near visited him and he greeted them all cordially with a warm handshake and broad smile—a smile which made him ; one of the best love<. members of Congress. i Muit Give 10 dajri Notice For License to Marry Lincoln, Neb., May SO.—A new rec ord for low percentage In law-making was established by the Nebraska leg islature which has just ended its 1923 session.

Youngatown, Ohio, May 30.—Organ- j Im the world for peace, wu tha ap peal of former Justice John H.

"A plea to our young noldier* to organize the country for peace " was hi* «ubject. ^nother world war confront* the people, according to the utti runeaa of military leaders and other*, who eati mata that it may come in three yeas* or 10 year*, but that it la inevitable the former justice said. Mr. Clarke referred to a itory that the senator* of Venice, their" hand*' too atiff to irrmap tha nwurd hilt," af ter viewing Galileo'* telescope, ex claimed : "Thia glaaa will give ua rraat advantage In time of war." ( "Thua, Mid tha speaker, "it ta the truth of history and tha laaaon of yaa tarday, that tha battlaa of tha world arc fourht by boy* sent to prematura graves by ambitious, proud eld man without a chance to serve Mankind or to taste the joys of life. Yea, war la tha game of old men in which tha stakes are the lives of the youth of the world. "But I am not here to counael a revolt of youth against its elders, much as the Banner in which the affairs of the world have been con ducted during the past nine year* might justify such diacussion, but I have come to urge you young sol diers the importance to our country and tn yourselves of your joining in a united demand upon your govern ment that it take some kind of action in an attempt, at least, to organize the world for peace. I am noa^oing to discimk what the form of such organization should be. What I wish to urge is that in your local, state and national organisations, you young soldier* shall formulate some defl nite program Tor preventing the coming of another world war in which so many of you must pensh—in which your country may perish—and that you shall insist upon its recognition by your government as the subject of your chief concern. Competent observers, some say in two or three years and oth« rs allow 10 years, springing as it must from the misery and despair of Germany and Russia, declare another world war inevitable and that it will be vast ly more destructive than the last one was, Mr. Clarke said. International alliance, coalitions, ententes, four-power and other treat ies have served to promote rather tiian prevent war, he continued: If you go earnestly about it, three or four millions of young men can compel an organization of our country for peace such as never has been seen in any nation in the world,"he added. Nations have their war and navy departments and other military serv ices such as chemistry and air forces, he continued, "but did you ever hear of any governmental department de voted to organizing the resources of a nation for peace?" Congress, he said, had appropriated almost $700,000,000 during the cur rent year for the organization of the army and navy, but never a dollar for (irrMniutinn fnr i»«ro Carrying "no more w«r" banner* and resolving to "outlaw war" and similar devices to end war had failed a hundred times, he said. "Oijly or ganization with a definite program and with specific agencies to carry it into effect can lead to the triumph of peace over the thoroughly organized < agencies of war," he asserted. "Four millions of voters united in such a great moral purpose can accomplish what they wish in this republic of i ours. If the existing league of na- < l.ons needs amending, 'Americanise' i it and get behind it, or if you think it unwise and advocate a batter plan, i but do not under any circumstances I sit idly by and permit your conntry | to drift into the desolating calamity I of another world war."

All war* releaaed except Guynn who waa held for tha murder. The trial started Monday morning and a legal battle enaued which last ed until the cloee of the trial. C*m monwealth'a Attorney Glenn Edward waa unaided in the proeecution, while Dexter Goad and S. F Landreth rep preaented the defendant The evidence presented by the pr&a Mution waa circumatantial, while the defense made a denial of every, thing which connected the accused with the murder. Numerous threats were shown to have been made by the defendant to. ward the deceased, as was th* appra henaion and fear the deceaaed had for the accused. But the threats and bit ter feeling waa discredited by testi mony of th* defendant aad his fam ily. which showed that friendly rela tions had existed between Guynn and hi* father for several ntfiths prioi to the killing. An unsuccessful attempt was made by the Commonwealth to connect the Hccused with the crime by means of a snuff box which was found on the path leading from the home of the murdered man. C»uynn was shown to have been out >f snuff on the night of the killing iut he explained this by saying thmt he fell in the yard over a ladder and mashed his snuff box. luynn relied on an alibi, along with he general issue of not guilty. He proved by his wife and son that he was at home on the night of the mur ier. However, the accounts of what :ook place at the home differed ma :erially. It was the opinion of those who watched the trial that a verdict of ac quittal would be rendered. Failure to connect the accused with ihe crime by means of the tracks Found where the club was cut made '.he break in the chain of evidenc* which the Commonwealth relied on.
