~T'^ *" \ 4 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. The Georgian-American Pony Contest VOTE COUPON 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.

Bands, Vehicles of Trade and Happy Clerks Will Join ‘Emancipation* Pageant. 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.

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. Wagons to Bring Up Rea After that the packing house wag ons will come sweeping to the front from their rendezvous on Mitchell Declare Last “Invasion” of North Most Successful in History of Organization. Early trains from Savannah brought In the members of the Old Guard bat talion, returning from their peace mission to Eastern cities. The Old Guards’ last entertainment of the tour was accorded them In Sa vannah by the Georgia Huzzars. The company, upon its arrival from the North by steamship Tuesday, was met by the Huzzars in full dress uni form and escorted to the DeSoto Ho tel. During the afternoon they were driven about the city and county in automobiles. A reception was tendered them in the evening at the Huzzars’ Club, when the Oold Guard was received oy the Mayor and Aldermen, the Cham ber of Commerce, the Board of Trade, the Cotton Exchange, the First Reg iment, the Savannah Volunteer Guards and the Chatham Artillery and a number of prominent citizens. Members interviewed Wednesday morning upon their arrival in Atlan ta declared the trip had been the most successful in the history of the organization. 2 Seek Stovall’s Place. SAVANNAH.—Judge Henry McAl- pin has set June 24 the time for the election of a Representative to the Legislature to succeed Colonel Pleas ant A. Stovall, recently resigned. There will be at least two candidates in the race—J. J. Bouhan and Her man Shuptrine. EX-1 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. THE PLAYS THIS WEEK TO DAY’S MARKET OPENINGS. NEW ORLEANS COTTON. Quotations in cotton futures: June July Aug. Sept.
