OAKS STAKES RACE.
Winner of the Derby Won the Stakes
 Again To-day.

London, June -.-The Oaks Stakes of $25,000 for 3-year-old Allies about one mile and a half was run at Epson Downs to-day and won by E. Ginistrelli's Ally Signor- inetta, the winner of the Derby last Wednesday. Lord Falmouth's Cour- tesy was second and Santeve, owned by G. Edwardes, was third. Thir- teen horses ran.
 Rhodora, Richard Croker's entry, fell down.
 Until the astonishing success of the Italian Ally Signorietta, owned by E. Ginistrelli, in winning the Derby, but little interest was mani fested in the Oaks as it was thought that no horse entered in the "la- dies race had any reason to hope to be able to defeat Richard Croker's Rhodora to-day.

GREGORI'S ACT
His Sister Says He Was Excited Over the Army SalutIDg Au.
 thor of La DebacIe"
POLICE SUSPECT PLOT

Paris, June 5.-Whether yester- days attempt upon the life of Major Dreyfus, at the time of the canon ization of Emile Zola in the Pan- theon was merely the individual act of a man believing himself to be an outraged patriot or had behind it an incipient nationalist plot the re- publican press is unanimous in de- ploring the incident and believes it injured rather than aided that cause. Even those papers which doubted the wisdom of burying Zola in the Pantheon think that the shooting of Major Dreyfus consoli- dated the republican sentiment and they evidently desire to see the incl dent die out as quickly as possible. Any attempt to reopen the old Drey- fus issue at the trial of Louis Gre gori, the man who shot the major yesterday, they point out can easily be frustrated as being plainly ex- traneous On the other hand the fury of the Nationalist papers is un- bounded. L'Action Franchise fired a broadside which recalls the most ex- citing days of Dreyfus and Boulan- ger. At the head of it's columns this newspaper prints statement by Charles Maurras which, it is likely the authorities will investigate. In this article the writer says that on Wednesday night "a resolute pa- triot' visited M. Daudet and Lieu tenant Boisf1eury and himself of fered to kill Dreyfus, but his pro- posal was rejected. A leading edi- torial in this paper appeals to the country to turn to the duke of Or leans for redress and concludes with these words:
 Do you desire that Zola's body be elected from the Pantheon? Do you desire to March Dreyfus to the execution block? If so invoke your king"
 The paper also republshes a num- Der of London reviews of the Drey- fus case insisting that he is a traitor. The decision of the court of Cassa- tion to cut off the time for an ap- peal, the paper says is illegal and it concludes as follows:
 What we ask for Dreyfus is not six balls from revolver but the 12 bullets of the execution squad. :"
 Other newspapers declare that Gregori, much grieved at the recent death of his mother. has lately mani- fested signs of mental derange- ment.
 Gregori's sister is unable to ac. count for his act except that he was carried away by indignation at the idea that the army should salute with flags the author of La De- bacle." She said her brother re- gently had displayed symptoms of melancholia. The authorities are pursuing their investigation with the view of determining whether or not there is plot behind the attempt of yesterday. To-day Gregori was talk en to his apartment and was pres. ent while the police searched his rooms for possible discriminating documents. Their efforts developed nothing of importance. The bullet was extracted from Major Dreyfus' arm without difficulty.

 If a man has $500 and needs as much more to carry out his plans and make him a success and thereby happy, I propose to give him the added $500.

 T have set the number will aid at 20,000. but if l succeed in helping them I will look for 10000 more. 1 suppose my headquarters will be in New York or Chicago because I can reach farther from either of those places than any other.

The navy wanted to make some

out exactly what an 850-pound shell
would do to a monitor turret, how

effect it would have on the men
who happened to be inside the tur-

APPROVES Of MERCY
FOR The ERRlNc

Editor. Press-Permit me to en-
dorse the editorial in The Press of
Feb. % on the saving of property
or human beings. The person who
has not read it has lost something.
A few days ago Judge Lands, of
Standard Oil fame, sentenced an
old man to four months imprison-
ment for stealing from the govern
ment. The court, under the law,
could not give a lighter sentence
and said to the poor fellow, when
you get out come to me and | will
get you a position"
The culprit had been a govern
ment employee for years. lie had a
fairly responsible positoion and was
supporting, or trying to support a
family on $50 per month. He was
not extravagant. 1t did not appeal
that he wasted his money or was
addicted to bad habits, The family
had to live-and they could bare
ly exist. 1t was popular short
time ago to sentence men to the
full limit of the law But you can
not make useful citizens in the
peni:entiary. So keep up your
good work and maybe in the dawn
of brighter, better days we will all
realize that a human life is worth
more than just money, and that a
kind word is worth more than a
long time sentence for the man
who has to live. Harry Rosen-

Mrs. Bert Webster, known to the

in destitute circumstances on ac-
count of sickness and being thrown
out of work when the closing order
was put into effect. Several Sun.
days ago Rev. Rasmus took up a

in cash. He will also care for her
during her illness and when she
is we'll will sent her to some place

Work on the new Stevens st
bridge is being rushed and Com.
missioner ONO stated this morning
that all things point to completion
of the structure in about four
weeks or six at the most. The pile
driving began this morning. When
this is completed the work of get
ting the false work in place, put
ting in the piers and sliding the
plate girders over, will be only a
matter of a short time.
The bridge will be a steel struc-
ture. The material was ordered for
Havermale st. but when it was de-
cided to connect this street with
the concrete bridge planned for
Howard st. the steel on hand could
not be used. Councilman Gray sug-
gested putting it on Stevens ST. 1t

Patrolman Reed is really respon-

''pinched' an intoxicated woman.
She bit his finger. His oratory was
so lurid when he dragged her into a
nearby engine house that it bis

and got the whole company out of
bed. His reply to the captains re-
monstrance at his unseemly call is
cause also for his pacing his beat
for month without pay.

ONLY ONE LABORER
IN SPLITTER BUNCH

1t would seem that the common
laborer whose outdoor occupation
permits him usually to spit when
and where he will regardless, would
be the most apt from force of habit
to fall into the hands of police
men who are lowering about nova

squirts on the sidewalk.
But this is not the case. Out of
a list of eight "spitters" arrested
last night, only one, Nick Gross,
was a common laborer The others
were. A. E. Miller, sausage maker;
F. w. Greenburg, printer; w. d.
Evans, commercial traveller; Har-

former.
