DERBY
 OPENS TODAY AT
 CHURCHILL DOWNS
Best 3-Year:Olds of Ameri can Turf Are on Entrance
 Card.

Louisville, Ky, May 9.-Fourteen of the best three year olds on the American turf have been named to start tomorrow in the 45th renewal of the Kentucky derby at Churchill downs. The race at mile and a quarter, will carry $20,O00 in added money and be worth approximately $25,0O0, making it the richest stake of the year in the United States.
 Despite prospects of heavy course Eternal, owned by J. w. McClelland of Lexigton, Ky, the choice of the west, gave promise of going to the post the favorite in the pari-mutual betting. Billy Kelly, defeated by Et- ernal by head in match race last year, and Sir Barton, coupled as the entry of commander J. K. L. Ross, the Canadian sportsman, apparently will be the main dependence of the east. Billy Kelly is said to be at his best, but many doubt his ability to negotiate the derby distance at top form. It is understood Sir Barton is the main reliance of the Ross stable.
 Harry Payne Whitney's Vindex has a large eastern following. He finish ed his training Thursday with a mile and quarter trial in 2:06 4-5. The derby record is 2:03 3-5.
 Possibly most fancied among so- called "dark" horses are Be Frank, Regalo, which will be the only filly to start, Under Fire and Frogtown. Be Frank, owned by C.. M. Garrison, is known to favor a distance; Regalo recently defeated what was regarded as a good band of derby eligibles at a mile and an eighth. Frogtown is said to have worked well, and Under Fire, an imported horse, has shown liking for long route.
 The list of entries to date, weights and jockeys follows:
 Sir Bartin, weight 112 pounds; jockey Loftus.
 Be Frank, weight 119; jockey But vel
 Vindex, weight 119; jockey Knapp.

Rep. Burnett Dies
Suddenly at His
Home in Alabama

Gadsden, Ala, May l3.-Repre-
sentative John L. Burnett of the
seventh Alabama district for sew
eral years one of the leading men,
bers of the house and chairman Of
the committee on immigration in tke
last house, died suddenly tonight at
his home here.
Mr.. Burnett, who was IS years
oil, was one of the older members
of the house, having been elected
to the Fifty-sixth congress and re-
elected to each succeeding congress,
including the Sixty-sikth, WHICH will
convene Monday.
Late in the last session Mr.. Bur-
nett introduced bills for deporta-
ton of dangerous aliens and for
the stopping of all immigration
four years after the declaration of
peace.
1t was believed that because of
his activity in behalf of the two
bills Mr.. Burnett was included in
the list of more than a dozen high
government officials to whom in
fernal machines recently were
mailed. The bomb addressed to
the Alabama congressman was re-
ceived at his home here and only
difficulty in opening the package
experienced by Mr.. Burnett and his
son probably saved him from
serious injury or probably death.

extravagant" by the Board of Home
Missions of the Presbyterian church,
composed of one representative Of

The interchurch world movement,
which is a proposal to ally all pro-

not sufficiently safeguard the integ-

the Presbyterian church. the board
declares.
The boards report suggests that

lished among the Evangelical COM
munions in certain educational, in
spirational. evangelistic. financial
and spiritual activities of our COM
mon protestantism," but declares
there should be mo super-board" to
