PROTEST CALLING Off
OF DERBY IN ENGLAND

LONDON. June 3-The first Wednes-
day in June has been devoted for gen.
erations to London's great racing car
nivai, the Derby at Epson, and its
omission this year brought home to
the citizens of the British capital with
peculiar emphasis the serious crisis
through which the nation is passing.
Derby day always has been the most
popular sporting event of the year.
The race was witnessed by the late
King Edward every year from 1858
until 1909. except when he was kept
away by mourning.
The decision of the government to
abandon all race meetings during the
war except that at Newmarket does
not by any means meet with universal
approval. Quite apart from persons
interested in racing because 1t is their
occupation, or means of livelihood.
large numbers are of the opinion that
such a drastic closing down of race
meetings not only is needless, but IN
imicaI to horse breeding. They point
to the fact that racing is going on as
usual in Germany. and contend that Its
prohibition in England probably will
be regarded by her enemies as signal
of weakness and nervousness, making
her subject of ridicule.
Pressure Brought to Bear.
Great pressure has been brought to
bear on the jockey club to obtain some
amelioration of present conditions in
the interest of the large number of
persons dependent upon the turf for
their livelihood. The jockey club held
a meeting yesterday afternoon at
Derby House to consider the situation.
Those present included Lords Derby,
Lonsdale and Durham. The session was
executive, but some announcement of
what was decided upon is expected to-
day. According to unofficial reports.
however, the stewards club decided to
maintain the present embargo.
There is strong sentiment in favor of
at least transferring the Derby, which
has been run without intermiss
every year since 1880 together with
the Oaks and Home Ascot races, to
Newmarket Should the jockey clubs
decision be adverse to such a step the
agitation, it is expected, will be con-
tinued.
A meeting of protest called by the
National Sporting League held ina Hol-
born restaurant last night was presid-
ed over by Horatio w. Bottomley, wide
ly known as an owner of race horses
Resolutions were adopted deprecating
the governments prohibition and urg-
ing reconsideration. Speakers de-
nounced the jockey club for yielding to
governmental pressure and pointed out
that both Germany and Russia are con-
tinuing racing, while France and Bel
gium have given special permission
for French and Belgian horses to come
over for the English races.

Frank H. Walker Entertains
Association of Oldest
inhabitants.
MUSIC AND SPEECHES
INCLUDED IN PROGRAM
President Noyes and Host of the
Evening Subjects of Extended
Tributes and Toasts.

Clam chowder and the d.lectab!es
that go with it engaged in a contest
with the rain last night. and the CHOW
der won-that is to say. the ineIement
weather had no terrors for members of
the Association of Oldest inhabitants
of the District of Columbia, who turn
ed out in large numbers to attend
Frank H. Walkers annual clam
chowder feast given to the association
III honor of his birthday. 1t was Mr..
Walkers fifty-seventh birth anniver-
sary, and also the biggest and most
enthusiastic gathering the association
has held this year.
After a short business session the
members and other guests of Mr..
Walker repaired to the first floor of
the associations headqua rters in the
old Union engine house, 18th and Fl
streets northwest, where the feast was
served. MIR. Walker, in a white apron,
directed affairs in an improvised kitch-
en-. while Washington Topham and An
drew II. Ragan, at the head of a capa-
BILE force of stewards, appointed from
the membership of the organization,
soon had bowls of Steaming choWder
placed on several long tables, around
which the members gathered.
Music and speech-making and a dance
by Ben Reiss, secretary of the asso-
citation. were other features of the
entertainment.
At the conclusion of the business ses-
sion Mr.. Walker was escorted to the
presidents desk by George W. Evans
and presented with handsome sill
yer service, the gift oflthe association.
In the presentation remarks of Judge
Charles s. Bundy. who, in the absence
of President Theodore W. Noyes, pre-
sided over the meeting and the
speeches of other members, the host of
the evening was lauded for his faith
full membership in the organization.
President Noyes Praised.
Both Mr.. Walker and President
Noyes, who was unable to attend on
account of illness. were the subjects of
extended tributes and toasts. Judge
Bundy opened the business meeting
with a tribute to the services of Mr..
Noyes to the organization and the COM
munity, and George W. Evans, in a
laudatory address, declared that the
president of the association was typi-
cal of the best citizenship of the
capital and that no other man had
done SO much to preserve the best
interests of the District of Columbia.
J. Hamilton Smith also referred to
Mr.. Noyes' fight to maintain the half
andzhalf" act and declared that his ar
guments for this equitab BILE, fair ar
rangement as between the national and
District governments were clear and
convincing and published in the best
paper in the world"
Mr.. Smith provoked a laugh when he
gave scriptural quotation to show
the justice of the "half-and-half" act.

prevent the work ceasing with last
| weeks visit to Washington of the Of
| fetal representatives of eighteen other
American republics.
Mr. McAdoo intends to recommend to
!; the President that Congress be asked
| for an annual appropriation for such
conference as was held here last
week. He intends to appoint in the
United States group committees of able
and reputable business men. such as
those who worked with the foreign
delegates at the conference of last
week-eighteen group committees in
ALL one to work with a group of for
eisn delegates from each of the coun-
tries which were represented at the
conference.-the he has suggested that
the foreign countries appoint similar
groups to work with the United States
business men.
Vital Necessity for Transportation.
Mr. McAdoo points out in his state
ment that there was absolute una
nimity of opinion as to the vital neces-
sity for improved ocean transportation
facilities" On this point, he SAYS:
Naturally the South and Central
American republics could not suggest
to the government of the United States
how our government or our people
should supply this want. although the
delegates from some OF the countries
declared that their governments We're
willing to join this government IN any
practical measures for improved steam
ship ccmnunica ton between their
ports and the leading ports of the
United States.
IF, through private enterprise or
the action of our government. ale-
quate steamship facilities could pc
promptly supplied there is no doubt
that we could secure and retain the
largest part Of the very valuable trade
with South and Central America. De
lay may cost us the opportunity. 1t
would be a great advantage to this
nation If politics could be eliminated
from the ship question. We must deal
with this important matter dispassion-
ately and intelligently and do the prac-
ticai meeting.
Practical Results to Flow.
Continuing. Mr.. McAdoo's state
ment is in part as follows.
.! am satisfied that practical results

United States and to all the countries

ference which concluded its sessions
