CROKER THE LAST

EPSON, ngland.-Durbar ii, be-
longing to II. b. Duryea, of New
York, the only American entry to-
day won the historic derby race from
a fast field. Thirty horses started.
III. Cholmondelay's Hapsburg. ran
second and II. j. Kings Peter the
Hermit, third.
Tremendous crowds, including a
great number of the fashionable set,
and hundreds of Americans, witness
ed the event. Durbar II won by
three lengths. A length and half
separated the second and third.
The last American hose owner to
win the English derby was Richard
Croker, who carried off the classic
race with Orby in 1907.
The derby stake was established
in 1880, but races took place at the
same course as early as 1640. The
stake is valued at $32,500 and is for
entry by colts and tillies of three
years old. The course is one mile
and a half. approximately.
There were originally $50 entries
for this years race. The great fav-
orite this year, The Tetrarch, scratch
ed few weeks ago. Durbar ii, to-
days winner, is a bay colt by Rabel-
ais, out of Armenia. He was bred

Big Odds Against Winner.
The winners recent form in France
was considered so poor that he was
regarded as rank outsider and odds
OF twenty to one were freely laid
against him at various clubs last
night. Today he had no trouble of
disposing of huge field of thirty
horses, the largest since the derby of
1868. He Won in a canter from two
other outsiders.
Betting just before the start of the
race were twenty to one against Dur
bar III, thirty-three to one against
Hapsburg and hundred to one
against Peter the Hermit The time
of the race was two minutes and
thirty-eight seconds, fraction of a
second faster than the average.
Duryea had great faith in his
horse, which was backed by large
amounts by the American conting-
ent. The jubilation by the big dele
CATION of transatlantic visitors and
members of the resident American
colony, was distinctly noticeable.
King George and Queen Mary were

ent progress made by the conference
at Niagara Falls, were pointed out
conference on International arbitra-
tion here today as the most encourag-
ing sign of the present time in the
cause of peace.
John Bassett Moore, of Columbia
university, recently counsellor of the
state department, who presided at the
conference, said in his opening ad-
dress that the mediation of the A. b.
c. powers, no matter what may be
the result, is a remarkable event in
the history of international relations
in the Western Hemisphere
ut has been hailed" declared Mr.
Moore, 'as the beginning OF new
Pan-American diplomacy and it at
any rate may be regarded as the most
striking development yet witnessed
of the Pan-American movement,
which was formally inaugurated by
the first International American con-
ference at Washington in 1889 and
1890"
Moore admitted that actual results
from arbitration during the past two
years had not been remarkable, and
that the period had been marked by
armed conflicts of exceptional des-
tructiveness. Speaking of the last war
in the Balkins, he said that there
was much to indicate that the end
of hostilities in that quarter of the
globe is not yet in sight. .sf

! John Lind and e. A. Douglass, leg

Mediators Take Vacation.
Niagara Falls, Canada.-The med

American envoys and American and
Mexican delegates suspended their
work today to attend agarden party
in Toronto in honor of the Governor
General of Canada, his royal high
ness, Duke of Connught and the

Sir John Gibson, lieutenant-goyernor

In all probability will not choose a

have to be done by the Mexico City
government itself. But the process
which is receiving consideration isl

question about recognition. This
select few, it is understood, would be
made to obtain the view points of the

the aim of the mediators to see in

The precise value of the real estate

been posted by Captt. j., C. Purnell,
president of the Winona Savings Bank,
and one of the leading flnanciers in
North Mississippi:
eve wish to close up the Winona
Savings Bank before the legislature
puts all of us in the penitentiary.
Therefore, we wish all depositors to
come and draw their money We also
wish parties owing us to come forward
and pay us Immediately"
Not all of the bankers are taking
view so gloomy as that of Capt. Pur-
nell, but they are leaving no stone I'M
turned to bring about the defeat of the
bank deposit guarantee clause, and
are preparing to move in full force on
Jackson next Monday and wage an
open and aggressive lobby against this
feature of the bill.
According to leaders in the house,
the vote on the guarantee clause is
going to be exceedingly close. Mes
sages have been sent to all absentees
by both factions earnestly urging them
to be in their seats Tuesday morning.
Thus far none of the members have
shown disposition to dodge the issue,
and it remains to be seen whether
they will be equally strong in their
present convictions when the final test
comes. That the bankers are going to
exert powerful pressure is generally
conceded, and in some quarters the
prediction is being made that the
termination of the whole controversy
will be no banking legislation at this
session of the legislature.
The bank guarantee clause was put
through the senate by very narrow
majority, and might have been defeat
ed had all members been present. In
fact, while addressing the senate on
point of personal privilege yester-
| day, Senator Collier of Warren de-
clared that "a of the As senators op-
posed the guarantee of deposits clause,
while 81 favored it.

SAID tuat all eVlQonco pointed to the
fact that he did not know, that even
Sergeant Byrd had testified that while
DR.. Gathings had visited the farm twice
between the time the prisoners were
transferred, and the date of the fire,
he could not say he knew of the pris-
oners using the place. He said Dr.
Gathings had sworn positively that the
testimony Of DR.. Neal to the effect that
he had been in the building and knew
the convicts were there, was a mis-
take The governor said he thought
the night Waterman also was to be
censored, and that Col. Montgomery
and Mr.. Smith, Of the board of prison
trustees, evidently knew the convicts
were sleeping in the structure.
Talked With vardaman.
Asked regarding the penitentiary
management he said he and Senator
Vardaman had discussed the statute,
and he had told the senator he be-
lieved it about as perfect as could be
devised, eff it can be enforced" He
did not like the idea of abolishing the
office of superintendent, and leaving
the whole business" to the trustees,
but rather inclined to the idea, as
against that one, of a plan to abolish
the board of trustees, and appoint one
man, under heavy bond, at a salary
of $4,000 a year, to manage the de-
partment.'
The governor denied that he had
conferred with any Judge regarding
fines or sentences to be imposed
against anyone convicted as a ersult
of his prison probe, or that the case
of malfeasance against Col. Leroy Tay-
lor was nolle pressed with the under
standing that he resign as a member
of the prison board.
Mr. Lehon, on the stand, testified
that the bill for services rendered by
tie Burns men was $4,000, of which
$4,000 had been paid He said he and
Gov. Brewer hsd G.f'er-d cv~~ several
items, that the governor had Insisted
upon blue penciling, and explained
they were for kilograms and telephone
messages connected with the move
ments of his men. He also differed
with the governor about placing his
personal services at Sc instead of $40
day. Gov. Brewer, just previous to
this, had told the committee of these
facts, and said he would leave it to
them and the legislature to decide
what was right, at the same time pay
ing the Burns people a high compli-
ment, reiterating that they had "been
on the jeb" all the time, rendering
valuable and efficient service, without
which he could never have accomplish
ed the results attained.
Mr. Lehon told the committee that
H. A. Pagan was the best expert au-
ditor in the United States" and at the
request of Senator Norwood said he
would send the committee an account
of the calendar days on which Mr..
Pagan worked in the investigation.
The services of Mr.. Pagan were charg-
ed up at 29S days, at $40 day, and
les, was $25
his expense account, including trips to
Europe, New England and other
places, was $4,000.
1t is probable the committeeman will
visit the state farms in the near future.
