ALL OBJECTIONS ARE
eVERRULED BY COURT

When the case of J. Wesley Glas-
gov, charged with sending objection
able literature through the mails, was
called in the United States Court at
1lS0 o'clock this morning, Judge
Bradford announced that he would
wait three minutes for the arrival OF
counsel for the defendant

Fay and Charles c. Miller, the Wash

Glasgow. appeared. The jurors had
been called. and in the meantime
Judge Bradford said there we're sew
eral preliminary matters that could
be disposed of first. These proved
to be the motions made by the defend
ants attorney against the placing of
prison garb on Glasgow while in the
workhouse. Judge Bradford said he
thought the motion irrelevant MIR.
Fay said the prisoner was in the GUS
tody of the United States Government,
and should be protected by such. If
the state authorities did not observe
this. they had committed contempt
he thought
Judge Bradford then said another
motion before the court bore on
stenographic reports Of the proceed
ings on October % and November l..
Judge Bradford said that Clerk Ma
haffy was not the court stenographer,
and took down the notes to assist him
i'm the preparing Of the minutes only.
In cases where a jury was sitting he
then took all that was said, and this
would be procurable. Mr.. Fay said
a public record of such would do no
one any harm.
AS the defense's attorney continued
to object. Judge Bradford said. "EX-
cuse me Mr.. Fay, I have passed on
| these cases and made a decision"
District Attorney Nields then asked
that James r. Taylor. a juror. who
! had illness in his home. be excused
! from duty. John H. HUM Of Wyom-
! ing, was also excused as was Cole
man Harris. who was exempt on ac-
count OF age, he being over 40 years
old
Mr.. Fay then challenged the man
ner I'm which the jurors had been
drawn. He contended that the clerk
Of the court, who was also United
States Commissioner. had assisted i'm
drawing the jury and he thought this
improper. When asked for authority
for the assertion Mr.. Fay said he had
none, but thought as a United States
| Commissioner was disbarred from
practice I'm a United States Court he
should not be allowed to assist In
drawing a jury for the same court
District Attorney Nields said he had
told Mr.. Fay that the jury had beer

Hope for the 1913 Derby.


1t is within the bounds of probability that a colt
bred by Mr.. Keene may win the race in 1915 though
not in the name Of his breeder. The cataclysm
which shook racing in New York to its foundation
may have had regrettable outcome In the cessa-
ton Of Mr.. keenes efforts to add this great prize to
the many which he had already won. But the same
blood which dominant in his victorious racers
for the last ten is concentrated in the veins and
physiques Of more than half hundred yearlings bred
at the same noted farm in Kentucky, and these for
three months have been undergoing the necessary
preliminaries at Brookdale, N j. under the expert
enced eyes Of James Rowe, Mr.. Keenes former
Master Of the Horse"
In one transaction Mr.. Henry Payne Whitney
purchased the entire yearly output Of the CastIeon
Stud, chiefly with view Of trying for the Derby of
1913 Added to this number are forty-two of Mr.
Whitney's breeding, and to this is added a year
ling by Watercress out of Hamburg Belle purchased
in England when Mr.. J. B. Haggin sold his yearlings

Mr. Whitneys possessions, and they are the bestbred

Such are some of the features Of Mr.. Whitney's

sportsmanlike attempt made this year by a young
Englishman, Raymond NJ. Dale. resident in Canada
for the last few years and ardent lover of horses
AS small boy Mr.. Dale often declared that some day
he would win the Derby. Since he has had to take

has been to breed really good horse and win the
great race to prove its worth. Should he sue
