LOUISVILLE, May Sine
young man who is most excited
about winning the $4,000 Ken
lucky Derby here day after to-
morrow needs the $4,000 about
as much as you and I need the
price of a new pair Of shoes for
baby.
Just the same, the young man
who is all a-twitter over his
chance of winning the Derby
doesn't need, and isn't thinking
about the forty thousand. He
will take it if he wins it, of
course. But what this young
man is so keen to win is a
Derby. Which is Understandable
when you realize that he has
got his first horse in the first
Derby this year. And even
more understandable when you
learn that he has just turned
twenty-one. A Kentucky Derby
Is nice to win at any age. When
you are 81, with all of life be-
fore you, it must be nicer still.
|. Excited as Boy
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt
was out in the Downs infield
yesterday with a pair of field
glasses that looked like twin
guns in a turret of a destroyer,
as excited as a school boy
over watching his big chestnut
colt, Discovery, work the Derby
distance.
While others watched Dis
covery gallop under Jockey
Johnny Bejshak, I watched the
Vanderbilt lad and there were
times when it looked as though
he might tear for the rails and
pace his colt around the oval.
He succeeded in restraining
that impulse, but he was as
tired as his horse by the time
the strapping son of Display
had eased out the mile and a
quarter in 2:08 flat.
This was really little more
than trotting horse time, con-
sidering that Bradley's Bazaar
had been out earlier in the day
and reeled off the same dis
tance in 2:04 As and that Ris-
kulus, hope of the Kellys and
the Cohens of Hollywood, had
fairly romped over it in 2:06 Is.
OF the three trials I thought
the one of the Far Westerner
most impressive. He was at
the mile in lao ION the eye"
as the clockers say, and fin
ished out the extra quarter as
fresh as a baby after his bath.
He might just fool the boys,
this one might, he's big enough.
Maybe he was hiding in that
Texas Derby.
Slow Last Quarter
Although the big and brawny
Bradley Filly broke the watches
Of the rail birds, she was stag
gering the last quarter in :27,
and it was the Colonel himself
who said, as he snapped his
stop watch:
No Derby will be won with a
last quarter in :27."
It could have been, however,
that "one-two Ed" was pulling
a long face to save the price,
because he was around later Of
fering to bet Charles Fisher, or
any and all the Fisher Brothers,
of Fisher Body fame, ten thous-
and dollars, horse for horse,
that Bazaar would finish in
front of Mata Hari.
But I was going to remark
about the trial of the Wander
bilt colt, from Sycamore Farm
on the Eastern Sho' of Mary
land, that it really was better
than the stopwatches indicated.
In the first place, Trainer
Bud Stotler had warned Bel
shak to keep a tight hold on the
Son of Display all the way
around. and in the second Bel
Shak did. The result was that
Discovery finished crying to run
and the workout, in spite of his
young owners excitement, was
little more than a stiff exercise
gallop.

Powder Plant Blast
Kills Many, Rocks
Countryside

OLYMPIA, Wash, June %
UN.SO Death toll of two ex-
plosions that leveled the plant Of
the j. A. DEM Powder Company,
killing at least 10 persons may be
swelled to Is, authorities feared
today as they searched through
the wreckage for bodies.
The 10 known victims included
two women and 12-year-old boy.
Two men are missing and two
other men and woman suffered
injuries that may prove fatal.
Roar Heard for Miles
With a roar heard for miles the
plant, located eight miles from
here, blew up last night.
The plant employed IS persons
on each shift.
Theory of workmen on an
earlier shift, who escaped the ex-
ploSion, was that the major explo-
sion of eight tons of newly mixed
dynamite was ignited by minor
blast in the mixing room which
started fire.
This was indicated by the fact
that in a hand of one of the dead
workmen whose body was hurled
rs feet was found fire extin-
guisher.
Safety Tank Is Refuge
Roscoe Deeds, a mixing room
employe, leaped into a safety tank
when his clothes became ignited
by the fire and was rushed to
hospital by Henry Dem. a truck
driver for the company. They
had barely reached a highway
near the plant when the second
and tremendous defamation &C.
Cured.
Mr.. DEM previously had or
dered his stepson, Oliver Wilson,
boy victim, to a point of safety.
but the youth returned to the
building and was trapped.
Investigators said workmen all
had confidence in the non-ex'
ploSiveness of the powder as re-
cent blaze had failed to explode
dynamite. Because of this con-
fidence, it was pointed out, the
workmen remained to battle the
blaze and were caught by the ex-
plosion.
One ye-WitneSs Story
Ed Parker, one Of the injured,
said the fire started in a mixing
machine. He said:
I'VE turned hose on the
flames at once, but 1 saw pretty
soon that water wouldn't put
out the fire so I yelled, Let's
get out of here
II beat it out Of the plant
and was just crawling through

came. The force of it bounced
me along the ground for At

KIDNAPPED BABY
DIES FROM
EXPOSURE
Little Girl Left UnCIothed for
Three Days in Ice House;
Boy Admits Crime

CHICAGO, April IL G.N.S).
Victim of a Subnormal 13-year-old
kidnaper, little Dorette Zietlow,
21a years old, died today of starva-
ton and exposure suffered when
she was abandoned by her kid
naper in a deserted ice house.
Five hours after the begrimed
form of the child was carried un-
conscious out Of the ice house,
George RagalSki, a school boy,
admitted committing the crime.
Promising to give the baby a
nickel for some candy" he had
lured her from home. His con-
fession was made calmly and with
out any outward show Of emotion.
Former Offender
Ragalski served a six weeks
term in the juvenile detention
home last fall for taking liberties
with another little girl.
For three days and two nights
the girl had lain unclothed in the
dilapidated, wind-SWept building
with rats as her only companions.
Her body was blackened with SCOT
and rubbish and Streaked with
rain. Her tongue was swollen to
twice its normal size from Lack Of
water.
Dorette was hurried to st. Eliza
beth's Hospital, where a corps Of
physicians began desperate but
vain battle to save her life. Doc
tors said she was virtually frozen"
from the long hours of exposure.
RagalSki lapSed into Sullen
silence after confessing that he
kidnapd the girl from the home
of her grandmother Sunday and
took her to the ice house.
Leaves Girl to Die
The dreamy-eyed Schoolboy
told police that he remained
with his prisoner for some
hours, left for home at dinner
time, and returned that night.
He became terrified Monday and
remained away all day, attend
ing classes in the sixth grade Of
elementary school.
He summoned courage to go
back to the abandoned structure
yesterday, he said, and then
went home, leaving the girl on
Q pile of rubbish to die.

RESERVE BOARD.
ITO RULE BANK
CREDITS
New Commission to Control
II Its Regulations Are
Il The More Stringent
BY International News Service


All specific margin require
ments were removed from the
stock market bill by the Senate
banking committee today.
The committee decided to en-
trust all margin regulation to
the special stock exchange regu-
iatory commission Of three mem
bers, now provided by the meas
ure.
Bank Credit Controlled
Regulation Of all bank credits
by the Federal Reserve board
also was voted by the committee.
Senator Barkley D0 Of Ken
tucky, a member Of the COM
mittee, explained that under the
amendment and in event the
commission granted more liberal
margin requirements than the
Federal Reserve board favored,
the decision Of the board would
prevail.
Stringent Rule to Prevail
The objective was said to be
to give the reserve board con-
troll Of the flow Of bank credit
for stock exchange transactions.
Should the commission prescribe
more stringent margin require
ments than the board, the com
missions regulations would pre-
vail, according to Barley.
The committees action was
another severe blow for the Brain
TruSters," who had considered
specific margin requirements as
the most important provision of
the bill.
Senator Carter Glass Cd OF
Virginia, notable opponent of the
new deal, made the motions upon
which the committee acted.
