Ohio, July 4. While cheering enthusiasts were watching the auto races here this afternoon Harry Knight, hero of the speedway, brava, and daring driver of racing cars, lost his life when the right rear tire exploded, causing the car be was driving at mile-A-mlnute speed to turn entirely ever and half way around. Knight was picked up dead. His mechanician. Milton Michaells, of Cloves.

N. was rushed to a hospital with a fractured skull and a broken arm and died to-night. Knight was already out of the race. He had trouble with his engine from the start and lost 18 minutes putting in a new valve. Knowing he had lost the race through tne misfortune Of machinery.

Knight nevertheless determined to get In and finish with the rest. He was driving a new Rovaa car. Swinging into place he shot the ear past the grandstand at top speed and started around the track. At the first quarter there was a terrific explosion as the right rear tire blew up and a great cloud of dust arose that hid the machine and the men from sight. The dust covered almost the entire race course.

Immediately behind him cams DePslma and Mulford and before anyone In the grandstand knew aught save that an accU dent had happened these ears shot Into tne cloud of dust. A wave of horror swept over the multitude as the seriousness of a gen eral accident of the racing cars was. lore- seen, i Thrown Thirty 7et. The two cars raced out of the cloud ot dust and shot out Into the rear section of the track. Ambulance men and employees rushed to the scene' of the accident.

Knlgnt lay about 30 feet from the car and was dead. Michaells lay about 30 feet and was unconscious. 1 Rail birds along the race course, who bad the best view of the accident, said the car swerved violently as the tire gave way. then rolled entirely over sideways and spun about on the wrecked wheel until It was pointing the wrong way. That statement appears probable.

as the steering wheel was broken snd the top of th car smashed. The accident happened so quickly no on could describe it exactly. There is a strong probability that Knight was run over by one of the other racing cars and that the blow of the racer was partly the cause of his death. His" bead was crushed, and it is claimed her to night one of the drivers admitted striking something as be raced through the dust cloud. The race was neaiing Its end when the ac cident took place.

Mulford. winner of the race, bad completed 17S miles and was reeling them off In diszy style, while De Pal ma and the others were crowding him closely st that time. Just previous to the time he had started again. Knight had been officially declared out of the race because of time lost with' engine trouble. Regardless of the officials he re-entered the race.

Ralph Mulford won the race, breaking the world's record for 20O miles on a dirt track. He made the distance In three hours. 21 minutes and 48 seconds. The previous best time was made on the Columbus track last year by Spencer Wlshart in three hours 28 minutes and 41-2 seconds.

Mulford completed the 200 miles In 321:48, cutting by more than seven minutes the record made by Knight on the same track one year ago. He mads the entire race with one set of tires, and was out of the running only 40 seconds on account of oil. His feat of doing all this was the marvel of the large crowd of auto enthusiasts and racers present The record for a mile on a circular dirt track was lowered to 88 seconds, and the records for the race from 23 miles to 200 miles were also lowered. The track was in prime condition; the attendance was above 23.000. and the day perfect for the race.

Mulball Charges Are To Be Only an Incident. Xll Trails Opened Up Will Be Followed To-the Bitter End According To Plan. srsCIAL KSTATCS TO THB SXQCIXIB. Washington. July 4.

Washington, fairly aurfeited with the lobby sensations of the past week, is scheduled to -receive another Jolt to-morrow when the House. Rules Com mittee reports out its Investigation resolution. The committee met for a long time to-day to consider the resolutions Introduced as the aftermath of the "$10,000 Mulhall confession." and finally decided to draw a new resolution, of which the Mulhall charges form only a part. The committee will meet again to-morrow morning, before Che open ing of the House, to draft this resolution. which, it is promised, will authorise the widest investigation of the various In fluences surrounding legislation ever at tempted by Congress.

The 'resolution, which will be Introduced to-morrow and backed by Representative Henry's own support snd the support of his numerous following in the House, will, it wss learned to-day, authorise a rigid In vestigation of the activities of the' National Association of Manufacturers in politics and legislation. But it will go mucn fur' ther. Trails To Be Pollowed. It will Instruct the House committee to follow out' lines of Investigation leading to lobbying activities In all Important legisla tion. Chairman Henry is believed to be in close touch with Samuel Untermyer.

a New York lawyer, who examined witnesses 'in the Pujo Money Trust inquiry: The resolution which Henry will introduce to-morrow wfU contain a provision enabling the Investiga tlon Committee to employ counsel. It is being hinted that if Henry has his way and tne resolution is. passed, Untermyer will be the lawyer employed to conduct the investigation. This eventually would certainly mean another investigation of the New York bank' lag houses sad other financial Institutions. Plenty of Congressmen believe, the re port that the banking batereets of the coun try have' raised a fund of 1,000,000 to use In their campaign during the passage ot the pending currency legislation.

It, also is being charged that the New York Ex change recently has organised a press bureau for the purpose of Influencing public opinion. The fact that a number of the great combinations of capital in New' Tork are also maintaining press bureaus la regarded as a sinister thing by" the radicals in Congress. Deep Probe Planned. Any lobby investigation which starts on as broad lines as the Henry resolution will Is certain to go deeply into the financial legislative campaign. The situation, however, is becoming so dynamite laden that numbers of "Democrats in Congress have begun to cry.

for a halt It is pointed out those urging the broader Investigation are playing with fire. Almost every, man; In Congress1 fears 'to see such an Investigation start. 'there are so many chances for innocent bystanders to get hurt It Is pointed out snd generally' believed that several of the Congressmen mentioned in the Mulhall letters are entirely Innocent of any wrong doing, yet the mere mention of their 'names in connection with the scandal is likely to do them incalculable political harm, which no amount of vindication in the investigation to follow can entirely undo. Moreover the -Democrats are becoming suspicious of any further probing because the echoes of hoarse Bull Moose chuckles are being heard at the Capitol. It is claimed one of the papers which exploited Mulhall took up the 'expensive campaign for the purpose of banning both Re-are being heard, at the Capital.

It is being asserted that- the lobby investigation has now gone far beyond what the President intended when he made the first charge of an "Insidious -3 Wilson May Not Be Immune. Another point which is causing a fear to spread through the members Is the rumor that if a wide probe Is begun an attack will toe made on the President' himself, who, it is in his campaign for the Democratic nomination used some of the identical methods he complains of when used by manufacturers in the protection 'of their interests. Then, too. there is a suspicion that nothing political harm can result from another course a broad investigation may take. This is the al leged employment of the relatives snd friends of men in power in Washington by large corporations at fancy salaries.

The result probabty will be that when the Henry resolution is presented to-morrow It will meet with some stiff opposition on the Democratic Republican Leader James R.
