Eddie Rickenbacher, driving a
Maxwell, won the first annual 300
mile gasoline classic at the new
Omaha Speedway yesterday. His
time was 3:17:39.20, an average of
91.74 miles an hour.
Eddie O'Donnell, captain of the
Deusenberg team, and Rlckenbach
cr's old mechanician, was second,
clipping the distance at an average
of 86.16 miles an howr. Tom Orr,
Rickonbacher's Maxwell teammate,
was third, traveling at an average of
82.30 miles an hour, and Lou Don
aldson piloted his Emden into fourth
money. V. V. Brown, In a Du Chea
nau, was flagged off the track after
he had done TO laps. Brown will
get a good-sized chunk of the prize
money for his game showing, as he
mt. red the race after it had pro
gressed 100 miles. Thirty thousand
people aw the race.
An Omaha product won Omaha's first
big automobll race. That wan Eddie
Rickenbacher. Eddie wan a residents
Omaha for vral yearn and he learned
the racing: same on the hejf-mlle dirt
track' on Went Leavenworth under the
telelage of ' Roy Coffeen. So it In only
natural that every speed enthusiast in
Omaha regards Eddie an a personal friend
and take a personal delight in seeing the
daring lad win a race. It wan a groat
ovation hee got when he waved lite hand
In air in answer to the finish flag.
Rickenbacher wan given flrnt position
at the pole and he paced the preliminary
lap around tre track. On the flying start
Rick wan leading the first and he re
ceived the flag from ntarter Fred Wag
ner. When the flag waved again tt wan
to herald the lasf lap of the Maxwell
pilot, and when it waved a third time It
announced that Eddie wan the vlotor.
XTr LiMri Lead.
Never once did Rickenbacher lone the
lead. Billy Chandler of the Deusenberg
teaai waa In hot pursuit for a few miles,
but Billy's car went to the bad and he
was forced to succumb. When Chandler
left the race Eddie O'Donnell took up the
chase, but Eddie couldn't drive the turns
riulte as fast as Rick, and even though
he passed him occasionally on the stretch,
Rickenbacher came In fifteen laps ahead
at the finish.
O'Donnell and Rickenbacher furnished
some merry sport for the speed enthusi
asts. Brushes between these two were
frequent and xcitlng. First O'Donnell
would come roaring down the stretch and
pass Rick. The crowds In the standa
would rise en masse and cheer and yell.
Then Rick would pass the Deusenberg
and the crowd would again rise to Its
feet to give, this time, a still louder
cheer and yell.
Una a Marrow Escape.
During one brush O'Donnell narrowly
escaped a serious accident. Donaldson
was Just ahead of the speeding daredevils
snd O'Donnell was a trifle In the lead of
Rick. He attempted' to swing high Into
the curve to pass Donaldson, but couldn't
make It. It looked for a moment as if
O'Donnell would crash down Into Don
aldson or turn broadside before Ricken
bacher.
But the Deusenberg driver threw
his wheel over and plunged straight down
off the track nnd ploughed along the dirt
safety track for several teet, then to
swing up on th. boards again safely. It
wss a clever bit of work and dangerous.
Tom Orr, who drove his Maxwell Into
third position, also put up a mighty
pretty race. While Rickenbacher and
O'Donnell carried away the honors, Orr
did some mighty good work and was con
gratulated for his showing.
Makes Utae Showing.
Lou Donaldson, driving the Emden. -and
W. W. Brown gave an exhibition of
Sameness that in seldom paralleled. When

and received the finish flag, these two

MORE ARRESTS AT
EL PASOPROBABLE
Indications that Other Men Impli
cated in Alleged Huerta Con
spiracy Will Be De
tained. FEDERAL OFFICIALS ARE ACTIVE
EL PASO, Tex., July 5. The pos
sibility of additional arrests growing
out of the alleged plot to launch a
new revolution In Mexico by Vlctor
iano Huerta and those In custody
with him was the central feature of
interest here today. Although nom
inally federal offices were closed In
cident to the celebration of Inde
pendence day, federal officers spent
a busy day pursuing their investiga
tion and preparing for the prelimi
nary hearing next Monday of Huerta
and others under arrest. It was be
lieved that General Huerta and five
others confined in jail late Saturday
would arrange bond of $15,000 each
tomorrow. However, It was equally
certain that If released from Jail they
would , be kept under close surveil
lance. v
. J. L. Camp, United State attorney for
the' West Texas district, who arrived last
night,' conferred with federal officer
here and assumed such supervision of the
legal phaseg of the case. It waa under
stood that the activities of the federal
officer continued to develop new evi
dence which subscqueutly might lead to
other arrests.
Probable Plan of Action.
Officials wero silent as to their plans.
The customary proceedure In such cases
would be to bind Huerta over to the fed
ehal court at San Antonio, If basis for
such action is found at the preliminary
hearing. This probably would result In
Huerta' removal to San Antonio or
some other point removed from the
border pending trial at the next regular
term of the district court in December.
Should It be desirable to keep him under
ciosee surveillance tnan lr released on
bond It would be impossible for the im
migration authorities to detain Huerta
for deportation. In which event the law
requires that he be "safely held," prob
ably In jail.
Word wan received from Newman, N.
M., today that a revolver, cartridge belt
and check book found in the Mesqult
near there had been Identified a be'
longing to General Paaoual Oroioo. It
waa presumed they were discarded the
morning of June 27, when federal officer
and soldiers appeared at Newman where
Crozco had gone to meet General Huerta.
Authorities here still were without
definite information on the whereabouts
of Orosco, who escaped Saturday. He is
generally conceded to have crossed the
border.
No Action of Extradition.
AUSTIN, Tex., July 6. Governor Fergu
son unnounced definitely today that he
would take no action on the requisition
for the extradition of General Huerta
until he has been officially advised from
Washington tliat the Villa governor of
the State of Chihuahua, Mexico, Is the
proper person to request extradition.
Governor Ferguson pointed out that for
him to act on this reaulsltlon meht fur-
th comDnoate the Mexican situation
which he did not propose to do. He was
asked what probable action he would
take In the event he waa advised to act
by the federal government.
"I will consider the matter then," he
replied.

NEW YORK. July 5. A bomb
was exploded tonight In the base
ment at police headquarters, directly
under the detective bureau Most
of the windows on one side of the
building were shattered.
ULEN COVE, N. Y., July 5. J. P.
Morgan, who was shot twice by
Frank Holt last Saturday. Is out of
all danger. His physicians so noti
fied his family this morning. Mr.
Morgan's pulse was normal, his tem
perature was normal and he passed
a restful night.
Holt, the would-be assassin, on the
other hand, was so weak today that
when his keepers went to his cell to
arouse him, he could not sit up In
his couch. Unless his condition Im
proves rapidly and there seemed
no reason to expect so radical a
change it will be Impossible for blm
to be taken Into court for examina
tion next Wednesday,
All plans to submit Holt to a further
questioning today were abandoned be
cause of his serious condition.
Holt la Near Collapse.
Dr. GUy Cleghorn, the Jail physician,
was summoned early to Holt's cell. The
physician examined Holt thoroughly and
found that his Injuries were graver than
at .first thought. Extreme -weakness
seemed to be the chief feature of Holt's
Indisposition. This was due. Dr. Cleg
horn said, to a great quantity of blood
which Holt had lost from the wound over
his eve.
Two stitches had been taken In this
wound, but the flow of blood waa not
entirely checked. When the wound wan
dressed today It still evidenced a tend
ency to bleed and all possible efforts
were made to prevent a further loss of
blood. In addition Holt sustained a
black eye., a shoulder severely wrenched
and he waa ntmck powerful blow In
the stomach whloh left a mark that had
turned black and blue.
"Holt I very nick," said Dr. Cleghorn;
"sick physically and mentally. He is ap
parently exhausted and la unable to
answer questions."
Sheriff Grifenhagen of New Tork
county came here today to question the
prisoner. He stayed only a short time in
Holt' cell. When he left the Jail Sher
iff Orlfenhagen said that he did not see
how Holt could be taken into court next
Wednesday, the day to which bis exam
ination was adjourned last Saturday.
With the knowledge mat his wounds
were less grave than the doctors had first
feared, Mr. Morgan rested comfortably
at his home. East Isles, during the night,
awoke much refreshed and seemed cheer
ful. The X-ray examination of yesterday

MORGAN'S YACHT MEETS HIM
NEW YORK, July 5. The Ameri
can line steamer Sr. Louis arrived
here today from Liverpool. It wai
escorted down the St. Ueorgo chan
nel by two torpedo boat destroyers
to a distance west of Daunts Rock,
probably owing to the presence on
board of Mr. D. A. Thomas, the Drlt
iBh capitalist and coal operator.
Thomas comes here to supervise and
expedite the production of munitions
for the allies.
The two destroyer remained with the
St. Louis two days and nights. It waa
aid, and did not leave It till the war
sane war cleared.
When the St. Louis decked here Mr.
Thomas waa met at the pier by Sir Cecil
Spring-Rice, the British ambassador to
the United States, and Wlllard D.
Straight, of the firm of J. P. Morgan
& Co. Mr. Thomas was accanvpanled on
th trip across by his wife, his niece,
Mis Jamison; hi secretary, H. H. Carr,
and two business associates, V. Lloyd
Owen and 11. 1L Mahon. One of Mr.
Morgan' yachts, its name not distin
guishable ftirough tho pouring rain, lay
close to the pier, ready to take Mr.
Thomas and his party aboard.
"I have come to America prepared fur
an Indefinite stay," Mr. Thomas said.
"I may stay till the end of the war, and
I don't know how long thai will be. It
looks as If the war might last a long
time. But no matter how long It lasts
there can be but one endlng-Oermany
must be defeated and will be.
"My stay In the United States and
Can ad a I expected to go to Canada soon
is to oo-operate with Mr. Morgan's firm
and firm In Canada in the purchase of
munition of war for England. In this
connection I want to say there ha been
no - criticisms of the manner In which
Morgan ha fulfilled his contracts. What
criticisms there has been was chiefly In
Canada and was to the effect that Can
ada had not been favored so much In tho
awards of contracts as the United
States."
Mr. Thomas said he did not care to
comment on the latter subject. His Im
mediate plans, he added, were not yrt
rtpe for publication, but embraced a trip
to Canada within the near future.
News of the attempt to assamiiriate J.
P. Morgan had been received aboard tha
ship.
"It gave us all a feeling of nervous
ness," Mr. Thomaa said.

ADMIRAL ADVISES CAUTION
BERLIN. July 6. (Via London.)
All the naval publicists of Ger

consideration will produce a change In
the attitude of th naval party, whose

In all probability the reply will em
