NINETEEN STARTERS IN DERBY
Probability of Large Field Increasing
 Every Day.

Chicago June 1S--Nineteen horses are now regarded as certain starters in the American derby Saturday afternoon at Washington Park. Instead of diminishing as the day of the race approaches, the probable field Is increasing. The raoc was never so open in It's history despite the fact that Savable is still a , 10 fav)rise. The annual dark horse' for the derby came to light this afternon. He is Bon- nie Burr, 200 to shot owned by W W. Sayre. The owner sent message that the colt had been shipped from Cincin- natl and announced nim as certain starter. Nothing IS known of Bonnie Burr here. He won a race as a 2-year-5ld
 Fore and Aft the winner of tho Gum berland derby who is fegatdtd ss dan eerous candidate, received his derby workout today over the Washington 1ark track He covered the mlla and q half in 2:36 1-5 and did it handily with aboui 115 pounds up.
 Many of the derby candidates have hcer given so much racing that the usual final work outs were not run th's m 1rning Claude was only galloped over the route. M J Day who has al"cady wan three derbies with the colt. thinks the horse Is on edge right now
 The following horses with their odds are put down as probable starters: Savable, to 1; Bernays, to I; Claude, to 1: Judge Hines. to 1; High Chancellor, 12 to I; The Picket. 12 to l; Dick Welles. F to 1; Au Revoir. 15 to l; Linguist, 15 to 1; Fore and Aft, 12 to 1; Gregsr K, 15 to l; Flo Carline, 15 to 1; Early, 25 to 1; Mon sieur Beaucaire, 15 to 1; Ravel 40 to l; Gold Bell 40 to 1; Colonade, 40 to 1; Bad News, 60 to l. Bonnie Burr 200 to 1.
 Betting on the derby Is usually heavy. The recent public play is on Judge Hines and his owner Charles Ellison Is said to stand to win s30G00 on him.
 Rain now will mean a slow track for the derby. The Washington Park club an- nounces that the no-recall system of starting will be used

WALKER HINES IS
 TOAST 0F THE DAY
Receives Congratulations for His Speech fromMany People
COMMISSIONERS CONSULT
Will Hold Another Session on July i, when Decision In Rate War Will be Rendered-Tarlff on Grain
 VIII Probably be Reduced.

Montgomery, June 1s-(special.)-Whi the hearing by the Alabama Railroad Commission of the complaint against the railroads for charging excessive freight in Alabama was concluded last night, there were several of the prominent rep resentatives of both sides to remain here today
 The commission has not been in open session, but the members have been in consultation, more or less. all day. They will consider the facts and figures sub- mltted carefully and on July another open session will be held, when decision in the case will be rendered.
 As a matter of course there Is much speculation as to what this decision will be. but there is a general belief that the commission will order reductions on some classes of interstate traffic. Whether the commission will grant in toto the petition asking for the establishment of the Georgia tariff is but matter of con lecture, but there are some at least who believe that Alabama does not have to follow in the wake of the sister state. An Alabama vote" they assert, would sound better in this state than Georgia vote"
 cinch for Petitioners.
 There Is but one thing which appears as 'cinch" for the petitioners-a new rate on native grown hay. grain and grain product The commission has not intlmated that it will change this rate or any other, but the evidence submitted in the case seemed most favorable for such action and as matter of fact, was advocated by some of the railroad men.
 Among the prominent men who called upon the commission today in a social way were R. A. Mitchell. the Gadsden cotton mill man, J. M. Culps, vice-president of the Southern, and Walker D. Hines, vice president and general counsel for the Louisville & Nashville. There were a number of prominent local persons before the commission.
 MT. Hines the Least.
 MT. Hines is still the toast of all those who heard his great speech yesterday. While decidedly the youngest of the of ficials present, he was chosen to make the speech" before the commission for the railorads interests, and right well was the selection made.
 leaulnB AlaDdiHd lawyer anu HldH u judicial turn of thought, who heard the speech of MT. Hines yesterday compn- mented 1t as the ablest effort that he had ever heard.
 Assuming MT. Hines premises correct he made speech far in excess of any ar gument that I have ever heard" said the lawyer.
 ''It was logical and showed a perfect knowledge of the question at issue. It can but be said that 1t was an able speech from an able man" t1

scenes laid amid the old aristocratic life
of the south, a story of sweet sentiments.
The first act shows how a girl may
choose the wrong one Of two lovers by
by each one. Miss Nellie Mason, the
belle, thus selects the wrong man, in
stead Of the true hero. After this there
is revealed a dark conspiracy in which
the accepted lover and. confederate at
tempt to fasten the guilt of a bank defal-
cation uponssan innocent man. Two
champions arise to thwartxit, a young
southern lawyer and an assertive young
man from the north, who has been the
victim of a similar plot. The scoundrels
are run to earth, the belle finds she, has
made mistake fe1id between the two
old %Virginians is patched up and every
thing ends as itfshould.
The dramaiis clean and wholesome, and
all pertaining to the thrilling and sensa-
tional is eliminated. There is plenty
of chance for the scenic artist to render
beautiful southern effects, and it is need
less to say, every detail Will be looked
after. Three of the four acts show diff
.ferent parts of Judge Mason's Virginia
home, and the third act is laid in the
counting-roon Of the Merchants bank.
The play will run the entire week
with the usual matinees on Tuesday,
