criminal libel, preferred by police

President Roosevelt still insists
on having General Wood placed at

Wood is apolitical general, who has

NO THRILL IN FINISH
From firstto Last They Knew
The Picket Would
Win.
(By the Associated Press. J

Chicago, June 2O.-The Picket, horse
that never before flashed first past the
post, won the American derby today He
set the pace every step of the distance,
was never challenged and won in a gallop
by six lengths He ran the derby dis
tance. one and half miles faster than il
was ever run before in the race His
time was 2:33. Claude, the winner of
three derbies, was second. Bernays, the
Cincinnati candidate was third.
1t was a race without the thrill of IN
exciting finish. The crowd of 10000 peo-
pie which witnessed the sixteenth run
ming of the event saw a contest that was
decided when the field turned into the
stretch. In front of a struggling field
The Picket ran so easily and truly as to
leave no doubt where he would finish
The roar of cheers which greeted the sue
cessful horse began when the Picket was
more than an eighth of mile from the
wire. The derby was record breaking
turf in more than the fast time that was
made. Nineteen horses went to the post
the largest previous field being fifteen.
The largest crowd that ever gathered on
a Western race track covered the Wash
lngton Park grounds. The race was
worth $32,275 gross value the richest in
the history of the race, with one excep-
ton. More money, it is asserted, was
wagered on the derby than on any other
ever run in America.
The victory of The Picket was no sur
prise, because a surprise was expected
But there were some big disappointments
Savable, the favored son of Salvador,
thought by John A. Drake to be invincible
failed to live up to reputation. He re-
ceived a ride from Jockey Lester Roiff
that seemingly a novice could have dup
Heated. Savable was never dangerous.
and the fortune bet on him by his owner
went to enrich the bookmakers.
Sinner Simon, dark horse, was the
first to get in motion, but The Picket
did not delay an instant. In the first rush
for positions he was successful and had
the lead in Comparatively few strides.
Past the stand Au Revoir, the hope Of
Memphis. was running second with Gil
fain. Maxey Blumenthal and other incon-
spicuous candidates in the next position
There was no hustling until the field
struck the backstretch. Savable was IN
seventh place. There was not an import
ant move by jockey until the field had
passed the half mile pole and struck the
bid bend. The Picket running at his own
clip, never faltered. Au Revoir began to
weaken. Lnguist was all through and
began to drop back. Claude made his
move and quickly advanced to fourth
place. savable, at this critical place only
held his own.
The gradually lengthening of the field
of horses was at the head of the stretch
The remainder of the journey was through
a lane of people who were clinging to the
rails 100 deep on either side of the course
There were no electrifying final strug
giles. The Picket had his field beaten and
beaten badly. He was simply running as
he pleased. Jockey Helgesen eased him
up bit as he neared the wire. The race
was over and Kentucky horse had won.

TITLE TO WAR VESSELS
Regarded by The Navy Department as AbsC-
IuteIy Essential to Establish Sound
Preceden.---N COmpIica-
lions at Richmond.
(By the Assoeiated PICS }

Washington, June 20.-Attorney General
Knox had prepared today stipulation in
the nature of bond which on Monday
will be filed with Judge Grinnan, of the
Chancery Court of Richmond, practically
covering the governments interest in the
Galveston. This stipulation, or bond, it
is assumed, will more than cover the claims
Of the creditors against the Trigg Com
pany for work done and material used on
the ship. After the stipulation is filed it
is believed that Judge Grinnan will i'm
mediately release the ship to the govern
ment.
1t was learned from the Navy Depart
ment today that far greater interests are
involved in the decision of the question of
the possession of the cruisers Galveston
and Chattanooga than are represented by
the actual cash value of those boats. 1t
is regarded as absolutely essential at this
stage to establish a sound precedent and
determine the question Of the title of war
vessels under construction in order to pro-
tect the governments interest in the own
ersip of at least dozen ships. including
battleships worth nearly five million dol
lars each. Similar action will be taken in
the case of the Chattanooga, building at
Elizabethport. and it is therefore probable
that no further delays will be encountered
in the completion of the Galveston and
the Chattanooga, while any shows of force
or duress on the part of the national gov
ernment would be avoided
It is fully expected that similar action
to that about TO be taken in the case Of
these two cruisers will be necessary in the
case of some much larger warships now
cn the stocks.

Especial to News and Obseryer.)
Rome, June 2G.--The Pope has received
in private audience Father Haid, tituIar
Bishop of Messena and wear apostolic OF
North Carolina, and Thomas st. John
Gaffney, of New York. The Pope ex-
pressed his full approval of President
Rcosevelt's attitude on the negro ques-
ton. The Pope said: When you return
to your country, please tell the President
that l esteem and admire him greatly.
He is a true leader of men," The visitors
found the Pope comparatively well, but
an effort was necessary for the holy faith
er to speak with his accustomed energy.
After the audience, Bishop Haid said
Leo is not i'll in &c strict sense of the
word as he continues to grant audiences
but the state of his health is far from
satisfactory. Yesterday his hands and
feet were much swonen and of livid col

these are alarming symptoms, indicating
a stagnation of the system. In the gem
eral opinion the Pope will not survive the
hot summer months. The holy father
lives more in the spirit than in flesh
and every moral shock or episode of hu-
man suffering acts upon I'm as a dis
tinct blow. The anti-clerical campaign in
France has been ,le cause OF great SUI
fering to him and the announcement OF
President Loubet's proposed visit to Rome,
which he regards as an insult to the Holy
See. has also given him much pain. To
make matters worse. Leo absolutely re-
fuses to grant to himself period of
the necessary rest. He contraues to over
work himself with disregard of DR.. La
poni's orders, which must have serious
CONSEQUENCES in the near future.
