DERBY BEFORE 80,000 (Contin from First Page.) —=. him. When he flashed across the wire a winner this afternoon, his backers cashed $5.50 for every $2 wagered in the mutuels on his chances. The price on Chilhowee to place was $12.30, and on Beau Butler to show, | was $4.70. Wax Star Two-Vear-Old. { Black Gold first came into ing prominence last year when as a two- impressive lie won several ories. His worthiness as a derby ntender further strengthened by his vietory in the Louisiana derby at New Orleans last winter when he romped home an easy winner by six lengths. His friends stampeded to his chances last Tuesday when he won a | derby trial here at one mile in 1:37 4-5 over a track that was slight- Iy sluggish. When the bugle blew at 4:33 o'clock calling the horses to the post, the sun zleamed through a rift in the clouds, painting a colorful picture for the start of the running of the Jubilee. After the proud parade of the nineteen starters passed the cheering | stanrs, the task of aligning them at | the barrier was begun at 4:46 and | four minutes later they were racing |away in their mad charge for vic- tory. Bracadale Takes Lead. Bracadale, owned by Harry F. Sin- clair, shot to the front at the rise of the barrier and, respording to the urge of the Aert KEarl Sande, settled the grandstand. Bafing was second and Wild Aster third. Chilhowee was fourth to legve the wire and the thoroughbreds were in these positions as they flashed past the judges' stand. Black Gold was hampered by the quick breakers in the race and was trailifig fifth as the field swept by the clubhouse. He was caught in a pocket at the half-mile post and was shoved back a notch, but Mooney, his pilot, found an opening at the three- quarters, and Black Gold, responding with all his nobleness, made a strug- gle for third position, with Bracadale | still leading. ! Black Gold's dash down the stretch was a spectacle that never can be forgotten by those privileged to wit- ness his triumph.. Finding himself in a pocket, Mooney pped his mount on the néck with his whip, and Black Gold, shooting to the outside of the track, sprang forward one-half a length and maintained that advan- tage in the final leap to the wire. | Beau Butler Gallant. Beau Butler made a valorous strug- | from fifteenth position at the quarter to eleventh at the half and tenth at the turn into the stretch. He gained suddenly on Altawood, finishing with a sensational burst of speed. Bracadale, the pace-setter, fading and fast losing his speed, ' finished fifth, with Transmute, which finished second in the Preakness, in sixth position. Revenue Agent struggled into seventh place, Thorndale, eighth. and Klondyke, ninth. Play pulled up in tenth place, King Gorin 1L, in_ eleventh, and Cannon Shot, twelfth. The other seven starters finished in the order named: Modest, | Diogenes, Nautical, Mr. Mutt, Baffling, Wild Aster and Bob Tail. | When Black Gold shot across the wire a winner the Churchill Downs course presented a picture that has | never been equaled on any track in America. Crowd Hysterical. The crowd, becoming hysterical, lifted the winner's name in a mighty tribute and began to stampede around the judge's stand, where Mrs. Hoots, the triumphant jockey and Trainer Webb were called to receive their honors. = Mrs. Hoots, past middle age, was comely attired in a very ordinary dress like she probably would wear on a shopping errand in contrast to the vivid raiment of the society leaders_occupying boxes adjoining hers. She wore a gray voile dress, with an old rose figure, and a black straw hat, close fitting, pulled down on_the head. When Mrs. Hoots was called into the judges' stand with her trainer and jockey she probably was so happy and s0 excited that she could not express her appreciation. At least she never smiled even when the crowd raised a mighty cheer in her honor. Jockey Mooney bashfully waved to the crowd and accepted a pair of gold spurs presented him, 0ld Trainer Unperturbed. ‘Webb, the veteran trainer, did not appear to be the least excited over the victory. He wore a tan colored rain coat which showed the evidence of wear, a soft shirt with collar at- tached, but, following his custom of dress, 'did not wear a tie even on this day—the greatest of his long career on_the tracks. Derby day looked dull and lowering with every promise of showers, but before noon the sun began to pierce the clouds, releasing a deluge of sun- shine, while a strong breeze from the southwest came up. Long before noon the exodus from town started to Churchill Downs. LEvery road leading to the historig racing plant was crowded with motor cars until long’ after the running of the first race of the day. Street cars were packed to suffocation. When the first race was finished the crowd was so enormous that it was next to impossible to make any progress in the direction of the mu- tual machines underneath the grand- stand, while the lawn jin the front of the grandstand, packed for a quarter of a mile with a shouldering, milling crowd, was impassable. While official attendance figures were lacking, Col. Matt J. Winn, general manager of the Kentucky Jockey Club, said the crowd was the largest that' ever jammed the gates of Churchill Downs and the best avail- able estimates placed the attendance at_between 75,000 and 80,000. “Make your own estimates and mul.- tiply by two and you will not be far wrong,” said Col. Winn. “The crowd breaks all records for Churchill although we spent $250,000 e the public comfortable the capacity of the Downs was tested today. "It was the most cosmopolitan gathering 1 have ever seen on the race track in my twenty-five vears experience. S &1 Lyk Glass Auto Painting * System And save money. 18 12th St. N.W.

FORT SILL, Okla, May 17.—Army observers from every recognized mil- itary power in the world, with the ex- ception of Russia and Germany, will attend an artillery demonstration at Fort Sill, May 26, held in connection with the visit of the delegates of the National Editorial Association, Army officials here announced today. It will be the greatest peace-time demonstration in the history of the United States. and will bring_into play every type of field gun of the American Army, they said. The cost will be stupendous, and during the action hundreds of thousands of shells and bombs will be used. Offigers explained that much of the ammunition is from stocks left over from the world war, and unless used within the next year would be worthles: The editors and visitors will motor here from Lawton, and from a high hill' %ill watch the maheuvers in th valley below, Scores of airplanes take part in the show.

Reports that a number of automo- biles at Chevy Chase Lake had been rifled and articles of clothing and other items stolen were feceived last night when dancers returned to find their cars ransacked. T. L. Medford and William Hagan of 142 A street northeast told police that their sedan had been entered and a topcoat val- ued at $30 had been stolen, as well as a new straw hat.

Controversy Over Tax. According to committee members,. Remus has also a controversy with the bureau of internal revenue, as income iax payments upon the tremendous liquor selling which he conducted out of Ohio and other places prior to his convietion Warren W rimes., a special as- sistant to the Attorney General, and Jo Hoover, acting head of the bureau of investigation, were the only two witnesses called in the open ses#ion. Senator Wheeler asked Grimes why an_indictment had been asked in California against Fred Gershon, a former special agent, who was expected to tell the committee something about the revolution in lower California attempted by Esta- ban Cantu. Grimes agreed that he had written assistant attorney general of prohibition enfore ves- a letter signed by Mr. Burns., which | suggested to the department's agent in Los Angeles that Gershon was “posing "as a moral uplifter housecleaner” of the government service, but might be shown to have taken bribe money for letting muni- tions pass the American border in violation of neutrality laws. The let- ter bore a recent date, and Senator Wheeler declared the action was in- stituted to “intimidate” committee witnesses, but Senator Moses, Re- publican, New Hampshire, protested that Grimes should not be confronted with imputations against his motivesa Denies Any Knowledge. Asked a9 to the use of the Doheny payment to Fall, Grimes denied any knowledge of its relation to the Lower California affair. The Cantu rebellion took place in 1921. Hoover, although not informed of the proceeding against Gershon, told the committee that Attorney General Stone had instructed him to reduce the personnel of- the bureau of in- vestigation materially. Its agents were instructed to institute no new inquiries without the approval of the Attorney General, and hereafter its employes are to 'be law school grad- uates only. The number of “under cover” men is also to be curtailed sharply. Mrs. Willebrandt's ruling regard- ing the proposal to let Remus go to Ohio and other middle western states under guard to look for canceled checks and other papers resulted from a request from Chairman Brookhart that the Department of Justice, by virtue of its authority over federal prisons, authorize such a trip. This letter was Sent to the committee chairman by Mrs. Wille- brandt. Text of eLtter. “You have made a request upon this department to permit George Remus, accompanied by a represen- tative of your committee, to make a rather extended trip to various points in the United States for the alleged purpose of securing checks and docu- ments which he says he has and which he insists that he will not pro- duce for you unless he be permitted to go for them himself, refusing to authorize either his wife or his at- torney to bring them. “The Attorney General was obliged to take a train shortly after receiv- ing your telephoneic —request and he asked me to take this matter up with you for him. Should Adhere to Law. “The statutes of the United States provide a method for allowing prisoners to leave the prison walls upon a_ writ of testificandum issued by a federal court. Inasmuch as these requests are likely to arise again, it is best both for the com- mittee and for the Department of Justice to adhere strictly to the statute. “This department volunteers to as- sist you by every means at our com- mand to _secure documents from Mr. Remus, but we do not feel justified in allowing a man who, during the past two and one-half years we have been prosecuting him, has brought pressure to bear upon every public official he could apbroach in an effort to secure favors, to be absent from prison ‘walls for a trip around the country, in the informal manner sug- gested.” o} legal | and | mitted a report of this investigation, |in which he charged the F. H. Smith Company and others with conspiring to bring about fictitious values in real | estate. These charges have been turned over to the Umited States at- |torney and the office of the Attorey General. | SUES ON REALTY LOANS. Felix Lake Seeks to Have Interest Rates Voided. Another angle to the financing of real estate in the District of Colum~ bi& turned up in the District Supreme Court yesterday when Felix Lake prominent in many big deals within the last year, asked the court to de- clare certain rates of interest unlaw- ful and void The suit was filed against Thomas W. Stubblefield, de- | scribed as a dealer in third, fourth {ang fifth trusta The transactions | named in the petition are alleged to | come within the provisions of the so- called “loan shark” law, and he asks the court to prevent Stubbiefield from. | disposing of the notes. 1t is pointed out in the petition that | Lake has borrowed from Stubblefield |at various times $362,000, for which the former signed notes aggregating $704.000. Among those mentioned in the pe- tition are a loan for $30,000 on the Dupont apartments, 1717 20th street, for which, Lake says, he signed notes for $50.000, a bonus of $20,000. An- other is for $40,000 on the Balfour apartments, 16th’ and U streets, for which notes for $65,000 were signed. On the premises 936 to 940 E street and 429 to 433 10th street a loan was negotiated for $47,500, for which Lake says he signed notes for, $95,000. Five other loans for various amounts are mentioned.
