In the Great FOur-MiIe
Endurance Race.
MADE IT IN SEVEN MINUTES
And a Little 0ver-LOWerS
the Famous Record Made
by Ten Brock.
RACING RENEWED

A poor mans horse won the Ken
lucky Endurance Stakes, the richest
race run in America this year, at
Churchill Downs, Louisville. Satur-
day. The name of the horse is Mes
senger Boy, and while he was en-
tered in a woman's name, he be-
longs to Eugene Lutz, of Cincinnati.
After this splendid 3-year-old had
galloped down to the wire, in front
Of Nadzu, a rich mans horse, a
short, stockily-built man made his
way toward the judges stand. He
wore a black sweater, a golf cap,
and in appearance was anything but
an ideal owner of the winner of the
richest stake run in America this
year. He patted his horse, Messen-
ger Boy, the winner, on the head
when he returned to the stand, and
then went up before the judges and
the jury to receive that which was
his.
The chairman of the Kentucky
State Racing Commission present.
ed him with a gold cup made by
Tiffany, in Ney York, a trophy
which cost $1,000, and then Judge
Price reminded Mr.. Lutz that the
money value to the winner was $4,-
$50, the total value to the second
horse $500, and that to the third
horse $24O. Judge Price made a
nice little talk. in which he stated
that as this was the first running
of the Endurance Stakes, he said it
gave him great pleasure to congrat-
ulate the winner in what he hoped
to be an event that would be a fix
ture at the local track.
Saturdays event was probably
one of the best four-mile races that
was ever run. II was not only a
close contest between Nadsu and
Messenger Boy for considerably
more than three miles, but in win
ming the race, Messenger Boy broke
the American record for the dis
lance and shattered Ten Broeck's
famous time made at Churchill
Downs more than thirty years ago
by nearly two seconds.

CONCLUDES HIS SPEECH.
Washington, May 26.-The -four

inner case was brought to a close to-
day when LaFollette introduced his
resolution providing for new COM
mittee 10 be elected by the senate
20 make the investigation of the Lor-
inner election. It was objected to by
members of the regular organization
on the ground it was reflection
upon the vice president and the COM
mittee on privileges and elections.
QUOTES PRECEDENTS.
LaFolletts quoted many precedents
to support his proposition, and said
the adoption of his resolution can
not be constructed as a reflection on
any member of the former commit
tee. He concluded as follows:
Whatever the committee on privi-
leges and elections might report,
their action is likely to be misjudg-
ed The public is aroused, indig-
nant, sensitive. They are not in
different in this case.
EITHER BIAS OR FEAR.
IF the committee who judged the
testimony previously should decide
adversely on the new investigation
will the public think it unbiased? =?
Will they be satisfied, or. if the same
committee shodld reverse its judg-
ment will the public believe it is

Report of Committee a
Surprise, but it is
Adopted.
DROPPED FROM PULPIT
Defendant, However, Has Hope
of Reinstatement by His
Own PreSbytery.

Atlantic City, N J., May 26.-Rev-
Dr. William D. Grant of Northumber-
land, Pa, was found guilty of heresy.
The commission which heard the
charges reported its findings to the
Presbyterian general assembly this
morning. The commission found Grant
taught, doctrines contrary to the word
of God in the bible and the Presbyter-
ian confession OF faith"
CARRIES SUSPENSION.
He was held guilty under the Presby-
terian book of discipline, and the COM
mittee recommends his suspension un-
til such time "as he renounces his er-
rors and satisfies the presbytery OF
his purpose to no longer teach them"
The. assembly adopted the report of
the commission by an overwhelming
vote.
RECOVER FROM EFFECTS.
Though the decision was at first a
crushing blow to friends of DIR. Grant.
the judgment, which leaves 1t up TO his
own presbytery to reinstate him, that
body having already acquitted him
once and being obviously favorable TO
him, somewhat took the sting out of
the apparent harshness of the verdict.
MAY BE REINsTATED.
It is pointed out that there is moth
ing to prevent Grant from appealing
to his presbytery at it's very next meet
ing and by making a statement re-
canting any views that might be taken
to attack the basic doctrines of the
| church, be reinstated within q short
time.
While the finding was against Grant,
the word heresy was not specifically
used.
BROWN CASE DROPPED.
AS soon as the Grant case was out
of the way, that against DIR. William
Adams Brown of the Union TheoIogic-
al seminary was dropped by the assem-
bly,. DIR. Reinke presented a substitute
resolution for the resolution of last ev-
ening. in which Browns name was not
mentioned.
The substitute stated that all minis
ters had been admonished to avoid any
utterance calculated to disturb the
peace of the church" This motion was
adopted.
