BUS RATE INCREASE
PLEA IS WITHDRAWN

Voluntarily Acts at

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, June 5.--R. l..
May. owner of the bus and trolley lines
here, yesterday brought an abrupt end
to the fight which has been waged for
some months over proposed increases
in interstate fares, when he appeared
before the State Corporation Commits
sion at Richmond and voluntarily with
drew his petition for the increases, 1t
became known here today.
Action Voluntary.
May, when interviewed, stated that
his actions were absolutely and posi-
lively voluntary on his part and that
the withdrawal of the petition by him
was entirely without the knowledge of
the group which has opposed the in
creases. and should not be considered
as victory for them. The commission
already had allowed the rates but had
postponed the effective date from June
to June 10.
The old interstate rates will remain
in effect indefinitely, May stated, but
will be on trial, and If the results do
not prove satisfactory he will renew his
petition. This action has nothing what
ever to do with the intrastate rates,
between this city or any Virginia point
and Washington. These rates were
placed in effect June / and will re-
main as they are.
The withdrawal of the petition also
will not affect the discarding of tickets
and Communication books, and actually
only affects rates between any two
points entirely within Virginia. 1t will
mean that the old city rates of cents
on the buses as far as Hume avenue
and the same rate on the cars to st.

Elmo will prevail, with the rate from
any other points south, of the Long
Bridge fixed at 10 cents.
1O-cent Fare Stands.
The old rates will be received with
various feelings in different quarters
Workers at the Fruit Growers Express
Co., near the Seminary, had been ex-
pecting to have their 10-cent cash rate
cut to tokens for Is cents, which was
the universal city rate May proposed
but they will have to continue paying
10 cents straight under the present ar
rangement.
With the new rates tc Washington
in effect and the disposal of tickets
and communication books, it is felt that
May has won the major portion of
what he wanted In the way of in
creaSes, since it is believed that the net
returns from the proposed fare and the
present fare In the city will not be ma
terially different and the companies
will also get away from having to han
die pennies in connection with the g.
cent cash fare. May is known to be
particularly opposed to the handling of
pennies and this is believed to have
been one of the deciding factors in his
decision to withdraw his petition.

Those were the days when all roads in
Chicago led to Washington Park ON Derby day.
AS q race the American Derby the
event of the year. Thousands of Chicagoans
who never saw any other race hocked to
the Derby, and filled the stands and enclosures
to overdowing And the presence of the great
Domino that year swelled the throng.
There were no barriers or starting gates in
use 36 years ago. AT a tap of the starters
drum the field sprang into action. Rey ell
Santa Anita got away fairly well, but met with
interference in the first half mile and was
forced to drop back to nearly last
1t looked like he was out of the race. When
the field had gone three-quarters of a mile,
however, Rey ell Santa Anita's rider called on
him. The colt made a dash on the inside,
skimming the rail. My heart stood still as I
watched him work his way through, but at the
mile he was clear and, opening up big gap,
he went on to win by five or six lengths.
That was the first really big in which

horses inherent in my blood, made my first
start at the age Of 16 as a trainer for a Louis
vile man named M. E. Clark. It was q small
stable and the salary didn't force me to open
a checking account-for two horses made up
the stable and my remuneration for the job
was $12 month. Fortunately had no ex-
perlsive habits. Later on after we had won
two three races, my salary was increased to
$25 a month
The two horses intrusted to my care were
valued at $40. One Of them, a colt named
Forrest, had been well thought of before he
went very lame. The seat of the injury was
supposed by his owners to be in the colts
shoulders and he was so severely bliStered by
treatments that the hair was all removed With
this Disagreement, and continued soreness, no
one wanted him. SO Clark picked him up for
$11O.
The real trouble was q blind spint, and when
that had been treated Forrest beat a lot of
good horses at different times. He was our
meal ticket and oat provider, as his stable COM
panion played a very minor part In defraying
expenses
After my success with Forrest I got an op-
portunity to handle somewhat bigger stable,
owned by B. J. Treacy, Lexington man.
Treacy had some fair horses, among them Re-
sponse. which afterward. mated with John
Maddens Mirthful, became the dam Of Witful,
a hlly with which Sam Hildreth won the
Louisiana Derby in 1908.
1t was a big step upward when took charge
of the stable of Lucky" Baldwin, the Cali
fornia millionaire who during his career had
some of the best horses that have ever carried
silks on American turf. The names of
Emperor of Norfolk, Los Angeles, Lucky B.,
Volante, Rey ell Santa Anita and Rey del Car
reras loom largely in our turf history.
Baldwin a self-made man and he hadn't

good to me that day felt that was riding
on top of the world.
Our family was running in luck at that time.
The year before my brother had won the Amer
lean Derby when 1t was worth $4,000, with @
very good colt he was training named Bound~
less. That was the year of the world fair in
Chicago, and more money was added to the
stake.
At the time Rey ell Santa Anita won the
derby we had in the stable the fastest 2-year-
old that I've ever trained, if not the fastest 2-
year-old I've ever seen. His real name was Rey
del Carreras (King of Courses), though it ap-
pears incorrectly in the old Goodwin's Guide as
Rey del CaredeS.
From the time he was broken In, Rey deI
Carreras showed that he had lots of speed. I
was sure of that, but after his effort in a race
called the Hyde Park Stakes didn't want any
further proof. He was left hatfooted at the post
in a field Of 49, and wouldn't have blamed his
jockey if HH had eased the colt and not gone
on in pursuit
But going to the outside covering a lot more
ground than any horse in the race Rey del
CarreraS finished with a marvellous burst of
speed and was beaten by only short head by
LiSsak, high class colt. That was of the
most brilliant runs I've ever seen horse make.
DEY DEL CARRERAS caught the attention
~ of Richard Croker, who bought him from
Baldwin for $40 900 and took him to Ireland.
There he put to the stud and after serving
a year, was put back into training and raced
under the name OF AmericuS. When John A.
Drake and John w. Gates won the Stewards
Cup at Goodwood, England, with the Irsh-bred
horse Royal Flush and eaSed the English book
makers out of 81 100000, Americus ran second.
He had tremendous speed and broke away like
quarter horse. In my time I've handled one
or two fast horses, and even now have coN-
