Indianapolis in 1914 was the state capital of Indiana, a city of roughly a quarter million people that had grown quickly on the strength of rail lines, manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals from Eli Lilly and Company. Its carmakers, including Stutz, Marmon, and National, were building automobiles, and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, opened in 1909, had already drawn crowds before the first 500-mile race in 1911. Residents still remembered the flood of March 1913, when the White River and its tributaries swamped low neighborhoods and downtown streets, and the rebuilding that followed was a recent civic concern. Around Monument Circle, the Soldiers and Sailors Monument and the courthouse marked the center of a city that many Hoosiers called home to politics, trade, and the railroads that ran through it.
