Record Crowd Swarms to Epsom
Downs for Greatest British
Turf Event.
EPSOM, ENGLAND, June 4.—
Craganour, owned by C. Bowers
Ismay and ridden by Johnny Reiff,
an American jockey, won the
derby on Epsom Downs to-day.
EPSOM. ENGLAND, June 4.—A
record crowd swarmed Epsom Downs
to-day for the running of the Derby, |
the crowning classic of the British
turf. Among them were many Amer
ican tourists who had hoped that
they might vent their patriotism :n
betting upon a horse owned by a
citizen of the United States In this,
however, they were disappointed, for
the only American-owned horse.
Richard Croker’s Knights Key, was
scratched.
The weather is brilliant and the
track hard and fast. The three fa
vorites. in order named, were C. Row
er Jsmay’s Craganour, D. R. Brown
ing’s Shogun and W. Raphael’s Lou-
volN."
King George, who entered four
horses in the blue ribbon event, and
Queen Mary’ traveled from London,
accompanied by a number of members
©f the Court of St. James. The pres
ence of royalty at the race track »s
always a lure, but this time It seemed
to redouble its qualities of attra -
tion.
Daring Split Gowns Worn.
Daring French styles of dresses,
which have become common at Long-
champs and other French race
courses, ware seen, although it was
noticed that the Oueen’s frock was
simple almost to the point of beln^
old-fashioned. Some of the women of
the swagger set, however, wore split
skirts that nearly revealed the wear
ers’ knees.
Although there were no American
horses running this absence was part
ly countered by the fact that four
American jockeys rode in the race.
They were Danny Maher, J. Reiff, M.
Henry and VV. O’Neill.
Out of the original 345 starters only
sixteen were left after the final
scratching was done. These horses,
how’ever, represent the cream of Eng
lish turfdom. They have been trained
from colthood for the speed trial of
to-day.
Extraordinary precautions have
been taken to guard the Derby can
didates on account of threats made
by militant suffragettes to poison
blooded horses. Special guards have
been employed for weeks to guard the
stables.
Million Bet on Craganour.
A fortune estimated close to $1,-
000,000 was wagered on Craganour, the
mount of Johnny Reiff. one of the
American jockeys. Thousands, how
ever. bet on Lord Rosebery’s Pride
merely because Danny Maher was
riding this horses.
The overnight betting was: Craga-
nour, 5 to 2: Shogun. 0 to 2; Lou-
vois, 7 to 1; Nimbus, 9 to 1; Day
Comet, 100 to 7; Prue and Great
Sport, 100 to 6 against.. Odds on th**
others ranged into very ’’long figures.”
August Belmont had entered Vul-.
can VI, but did not arrive from
France in time to take part. H. P.
Whitney, Herman. Duryen and other
American turfmen had entered horses,
but all scratched them for one rea
son or another. The Derby is worth
approximately $50,000 to the winner.
The distance is about a mile and a
half. W. Raphael’s Tagalis won the
event last June.

Couple Arrange by
Wireless to Wed
BOSTON, June 4. R. W. Pillsbury,
proprietor of the Manchester, N. 11.,
Union, arrived on the steamer Cin
cinnati from Europe yesterday with
his bride, whom he met while making
a tour of the world on the Cleveland,
end whom he married at Yokohama,
a few months ago after arrangements
for the marriage had been made by
wireless when the steamer was 1,500
miles from that port.
presumption would be that he had
left and had gone downstairs
Quinn left about 12:20. Half an
hour later Frank was on the fourth
floor talking to Harry Denham and
Arthur White. This half hour is the
only time of length that is unac
counted for in the movement? of
Frank during the time it is the theory
that Mary Phagan was killed. And if
Frank committed the deed at this
time it would have been necessary for
him to have her in hiding meantime.
After letting Mrs. White out of the
building at a few minutes of 1 o’clock,
Frank’s testimony is that he left the
building himself at 1 o’clock, locking
the door behind him. At 1:20 he was
at home, according to the testimony
of witnesses.
Mystery in Staple.
The theory of the defense, a? out
lined previously, is 'hat Conley, lying
In wait on the first floor, saw Mary
Phagan coming down the stairs alone
and attacked her. He is believed by
those interested in the defense of
Frank to have dropped the body of
the stunned girl down the. elevator
shaft to the basement, where he com
pleted his crime.
By the time he had disposed of
the body and came back upstairs
Frank hud gone and locked the door,
the contention will be. The negro was
locked in the building with his crime
If this theory is correct. His nat
ural course would have been to run
down Into the basement again, pull
the staple from the rear door and.
make his escape.
No plausible explanation has been
offered for the removal of the staple
from the basement floor In any of the
affidavits of the negro. Bv his own
story, he and Frank returned to the
second floor. wrote the notes and de
parted. Frank going out, so far as he
knew, by the front door.. There was
no reason for him to go out any other
way. if the negro’H story is true.
Accepting the affidavits of Conley,
the detectives were at loss for a time
to explain the pulling of the staple.
Then came the affidavit of the woman,
Mrs. Mima Fomby, and the theory
soon was evolved that Frank had
pulled the staple later in the day so
that he might remove the dead body
from the building, place it in a cab
and take it to the house of Mrs. Fom
by, so that suspicion might be di
rected away from him.
Counsel Obtained.
The theory of the police is made
to appear improbable by the fact that
such an action, if Frank was guilty
of the crime, would only have served
to direct suspicion more certainly at
him. The theory presumes that Frank
first virtually took Conley into his
confidence by getting Conley’s aid in
disposing of the body when there
was no reason he could not have done
it alone. Then it presumes that Frank
proposed to run the risk of discovery
by Newt Lee, who would have been
aware, at least, of the damaging cir
cumstances that Frank w-as in the
factory after 6:30 o’clock in the even
ing at tli© time Frank swore he was
homp. On top of all this Frank would
have had to taken a cab driver into
his confidence, then Mrs. Fomby and
any others who happened to be at
her house, where they could observe
the bringing of the dead body.
BoQi Conley and Minola MoKnight.
the servant girl, have obtained coun
sel. William M. Smith is acting in
behalf of Conley, and George Gordon
has been selected to represent the ne
groes.

pfp ineisr on “HORLICK’S"
With a parade that fairly teems
with possibilities of unique features,
the retail grocers of Atlanta will cel
ebrate the opening of the annua 1
Wednesday half-holiday season Wed
nesday afternoon at 2 o’clock. For
two hours downtown streets of the
city will belong to the 10,000 grocers
clerks, butchers and retailers who will
take part In the festivities, and tli*
pageant promises to be one of the
most interesting parades Atlanta folk
have witnessed In years.
One of the unique features which
puts the stamp of individuality on
the parade Is the fact that the gro
cers are going to get along without
the rattle und bang of military ac
coutrements in their march through
the streets of the city. The military
atmosphere will be furnished by a
deta/’ of mounted policemen, and they
will lead tiie parade.
The atmosphere of the middle and
rear end of the parade will be strictly
commercial. Where bright swords
once swung so grandly and gold braid
waved so proudly in the breezes wil!
be the butcher’s cleaver and the
breadknife, the w’hlte cap and at>ron
of the grocer and his clerk.
Heavy Artillery of Trade.
Miles of gaily decorated automo
biles, delivery wagons and milk and
Ice wagons will nnko up a portion of
the parade, and those who desire the
rumbling of artillery carriages will
have to be satisfied with the rattle of
the milk cans and the jangling of the
ice hooks.
Tho?e who enjoy a parade where
the paraders are cutting up antics
and making fun will find something
to watch in this parade of the joyful
clerks. The grins on the faces of
these emancipated persons as they g<
about their work this morning te^
the tale. They plan to combine all
their year’s store of fun and foolish
ness into one grand joy fest. Out
landls'h costumes, painful to the ey<
of the tailor and with a laugh in each
crooked fold and uneven stitch, will
be as plentiful as flowers In the
springtime. There will be clowns,
wild men, bronco busters from the
Wild East, dudes from the Far West,
and then there will be just plain men
out to have a good time and to giv<
someone else a good time watching
them.
And there Is mystery to he found in
the parade. Some of the big moguls
of the Atlanta grocery trade who w ill
march in the parade are keeping their
costume? a secret, even from their
most intimate friends, and thev swear
by the cleaver and the half-bush-^
measure that they are going to start
something when they march down
the street. Among the “mysteries”
who will be on hand are Aides Cowan
and Mosley, with their assistants.
Mesrrs. Mildred Phelps. K. J. A
Word, H A. Bishop and H. R. Buch
anan. Some more of the prominent
figures in the parade will be Harry L.
Schlesinger and D N. McCullough.
Weird Dances Are Expected.
Then there will be bands. The' best
Atlanta affords will march with the
clerks, blaring everything from the
Whitehall Wabble and the Peachtree
Prance to grand opera and Dixie. And
the clerks say they will dance every
thing the band plays, so Atlantans
will probably see some w’eird things
during the parade.
The parade will form around the
Capitol and march down Washington
Street to East Fair, down East Fair
to Brotherton. down Brotherton to
Whitehall, down Whitehall to Peach
tree, up Peachtree to North Avenue,
down North Avenue to West Peach
tree. up West Peachtree to Peachtree
and down Peachtree to Five Points.
The parade will be led by a squad
of police, followed by the grand mar
shals. Harry L. Schlesinger and D. N.
McCullough. Then will come the Fifth
Regiment band, riding in an automo
bile truck. Then will come Aides
Cowan and Mosley, escorting the
wagons and automobiles of the gro-
ers’ holiday committee.
Then some of the w’agons of the re
tail grocers will swing into the line
•and rattle and bump over the pave
ment until they have caught up with
the leading division of the parade
Then the Marist College band, in an
auto truck, will come, followed by
some more retail grocery wagons un
der the direction of H. Weinberg and
his aides.

WARDEN OF
John Birt Asks $10,000 for Al
leged Cruel Flogging—State
Inquiry Probable.
Suit for *10,000 damages ha* been
filed against Oscar F. Jones. Warden
of the Bellwood convict camp, by John
Blrt, who says he was cruelly beaten
on July 2, the day he was sent as a
prisoner to the camp, with the result
that he spent several weeks In the
convict hospital.
In his petition, filed by Attorney C.
G. Battle, Blrt charges he was given
72 lashes and kicked and beaten. He
lost 40 pounds In weight, he alleges,
and his earning capacity was de
creased three-fourths. He affirms he
was told his punishment was inflicted
because he cursed on the way to the
camp.
Attorney Battle said the circum
stances of Blrt’s treatment were so
flagrantly Inhuman that the Prison
Commission began an investigation,
w hich will be taken up again July 1.
Blrt was sick and unable to work at
the time. Battle says, and w r as chained
and maltieated by another convlai
camp official, against whom an add,*
tional damage suit will be brought.
Veteran Head of L. & N. Bitterly
Opposes State Interference
in Railroad Affairs.
Milton H. Smith, the veteran presi
dent of the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad, Is in Atlanta taking a lead
ing part in the Alabama 2%-cent pas
senger rate fight in the Federal Court
here.
While Mr. Smith is know r n to be
bitterly opposed to State interference
with the operation of railroads, he
refused to make comment upon his
own case.
Also, he showed his usual very de
cided antipathy for newspaper re
porters and photographers. A picture
was snapped of him in the lobby of
the Piedmont Hotel. It is the first
one published In many years.
“It generally costs money to get in
the newspapers just what I want to
say,” said Mr. Smith, declining to be
interviewed.
“Once In a while I send a statement
to a paper, which, as a rule, is the an
swer to statements made by a pub
lic official. But mine generally come
back with a nice little letter saying
they will be glad to publish it at
regular advertising Tates. I can’t see
the fairness in it, but suppose it is
because the other fellow happens to
be a public official.”
Mr. Smith merely smiled about the
probable outcome of the injunction
suit; he thought the country was in
good condition; he smiled over what
he thought of State Legislatures and
Railroad Commissions generally; he
smiled over the question of his opin
ion of Atlanta.
No more interesting figure in rail
road circles can be found than Mil-
ton H. Smith. As head of the Louis
ville and Nashville Railroad he has
developed it into one of the strongest
systems in the United States.
This is the first
picture of the
noted railway
head published
in many years.

of Instant
POSTUM
“There’s a Reason”
“I used to drink coffee—was nervous and irri
table. Wife said so.
“So when the new food-drink, Instant Postum,
came along she said to herself: ‘Here’s where I
break Jack of the coffee habit.’
“Instant Postum is good stuff. I sleep better,
smile more, and miss my indigestion.”
A level teaspoonful of Instant Postum in an ordinary cup of hot water dissolves in
stantly and makes it right for most persons.
A big cup requires more and some people who like strong things put in a heaping
spoonful and temper it with a large supply of cream.
Experiment until you know the amount that pleases your pfliHth and have it served that
way in the future.
Postum comes in two forms.
