Indianapolis, Ind., Special. Three
more lives were sacrificed baturday
"in the mad speed carnival which has
, .inaugurated the great Indianapolis

and two spectators paid the penalty
of their lives to satisfy the extreme
desire for' speed. The fatal accident

that he had rather see her dead than
married to another William McLeod,
a farm hand, "Fjiday confessed to
Sheriff Ricketson.Jbat 'he murdered
Miss Mattie .Graham, a wealthy and
refined joung woman, whose. body was
discovered jn a swamp ncar ber home
at Hokesboro, Coffee county." v' ,. r
Goinr into every detail, his state
ment is. that he left his "work -and
went to thejiouse before dinner? Not
eing her he asked for Miss Maitie
sid being informed that she r had ,
"ma to her field for a melon he fol
lowed and found her, -. ;j
By a strange freak of fortune Merz
escaped from the terrible wreck with
hardly a scratch. He fell under the
car when' it turned a somersault
through the air and down into a pul
ley near the side of the track. ' He
was in imminent danger of being
burned to death but by. extraordinary
luck I he was able to shut off the en
gine and thus save himself from a
horrible death. -
Kellum was hurled out of the car
and landed in the gulley somedis
tap.ee from the twisted mass of steel
and iron that once had been a speed
machine.
The three deaths raises the .toll of
the speedway to seven lives ibis
week. William A. Bourpue and his
mechanician, Harry Holcombe, of ' the
Knox racing team, were, killed in an
accident in the 250-mile race Thurs
day. Cliff Litteral, a Stoddard-Day-ton
mechanician, was killed by being
hit by a big racing machine while on
the way out to the speedway. On
Thursday Elmer Granipton, a 6-year-old
boy, was killed by the automobile
of Dr. Clark E. Day, of this city,
while the latter was on his way to
the speedipay for the first day's race.
A pall of grief hangs over the city
and the more . reckless automobilists
drive more carefully through the
streets than they did earlier in the
week. The frightful penalty paid for
a few broken speed records is greater
than was bargained when Indianapo
lis threw down ,the gates of its
"greatest speedway in the world."
PITTSBURG KILLING THREE
' Over a Score of persons received
more. -or . less seripuWn.iuries. The
riot scene wfi practically indescrib
able. Mounted State 'troopers gallop
ed indiscriminately through the
streets with riot maces drawn, crack
ing the heads of all persons loitering
in the vicinity of the mill. Deputy
sheriffs and troopers broke in the
doors of houses suspected of being
the retreat of strikers, and whole
sale arrests were ' made. From 9 -.30
to J1.3Q scores of persons-were , ar
rested and placed rh box cars, as a
jail,.in the yards.
During the early stages of the riot
ing women were conspicuous. Some
of them were armed, others effective
ly used clubs and stones'. These
women, all foreigners, insane with
rage, were mainly responsible for in
citing the men to extreme measures.
At midnight quiet reigned "in the
strike zone. "V

The action of President Taft and
Secretary Dickinson in. directing the
dismissal of tKe cadets is accepted
by the officers-of the-army and the
civil officials of , that department, as a
clear indication of the purpose of the.
administration- to fully support Col

his effort to eradicate the 'practice of
hazing in all its phases from student
life at the academy. ; .
