LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 12.—The greatest racing event on the western turf will be decided tomorrow afternoon at Churchill Downs, when the thirty-seventh annual renewal of the classic Kentucky Derby will be decided. The event will mark the opening of the spring meeting of the New Louisville Jockey club. In view of the discouraging conditions surrounding the sport of kings in most, parts of the country the keen interest that is manifested In the Louisville meeting this year and particllarly In the Derby Is regarded somewhat remarkable. It Is estimated that more than :l0,00o people will be on hand to witness the great even tomorrow. CDMMEHCEMEKT OH FIIOH NtEHT EVERYBODY MUST HELP ALONG SPRINGFIELD, 111., May 1 L\— Whether the tangle in tin1 affairs of the Three-1 League will be unravelled in time for the organization to play ball this season depends in a great measure upon the decision of Judge Creighton, of the circuit court, who today listened to arguments on the motion of the league to dissolve temporarily the injunction previously issued by the court on application of the Quincy baseball club. The Injunction was sought and obtained by tin1 Quincy club after the Waterloo club had won a victory in its legal fight to restrain the league from ousting Waterloo from the circuit. Waterloo In meant Quincy out. as Quincy was to take Waterloo's place In the circuit. As Quincy had put up several thousand dollars for release front the Central association in order that It might enter the Three-1 league it did not relish being left out in the cold. The club thereupon went into court and obtained an Injunction restraining the league adopting a schedule leaving Quincy out of the circuit. The court is now called upon to decide a motion made by the league to have this injunction dissolved.

The attendance was extra good, the programs of the various sessions were highly interesting and the delegates expressed themselves as having enjoyed the occasion to the utmost. The morning program yesterday was changed somewhat. Mrs. Dorothy H. Shirey conducted the devotional services, \V. L. Sansom, of Clarion, was unable to be present, as was J. A. Lyons and Miss Jennie Held, of Sewickley. Rev. H. W. Hunter, of Hawthorne, more than made up for the absence of the other speakers and gave a splendid talk on "How to Interest Young People in League Work." The afternoon program, however, was kept intact, with the exception that Mrs. W. II. Robinson was unable to be present and a talk by Rev. .1. H. Neff was substituted for the general discussions scheduled. Roy A. Welker. of Corsica, conducted the praise service, and Rev. C. V. McClain, of Valier, talked most entertainingly on "What I Would Do for the League if 1 Were a Leaguer." Walter Depp, of West End, followed with "What I Would Do for the*. League if 1 Were a Pastor." Hi A talk was witty, instructive, and excited much favorable comment. Rev. C. Z. Zetler, of Big Run, gave instructions for the handling: of Shirkers, Workers and .Terkers, and held his audience in rapt attention.Charles Mohney kept up the standard of the afternoon session on a talk in which he told of the relation the older people held to the League.

Aiming carefully at an onion bed a rod from the tree, he let go a number 38, whose ear-piercing explosion disturbed I he midnight stillness, There was a Shivering of timbers, a crash and a tumble, and at the foot of the tree a very disagreeable-looking person gathered himself up and chased himself into a neighboring lot. Ho left behind a half-pint llasli, half full of alcohol. The bird bad flown and it was too late then to call the police, which realy ought to have been done soon- A dangerous-looking tramp, ft well-planned burglarious attack, a courageous servant girl, a fusillade of bullets, or at least one bullet, a heavy fall and an escape from arrest, were among the features of a thrilling episode on Torreace street last night between 11 and 11! o'clock. The maid returning home accompanied by her gentleman friend, discovered the would-be burglar concealed In a dark corner near the porch. "What do you want here?* asked she, and his reply was real rude like. "Cio hence," said she "or you will ge what Is coming to you." Glowering at her he went around the house and disappeared. Her friend left for home and she went to her room. When looking out of the window, she saw the hobo climbing a large apple tree, which seemed most unreasonable. But wait: evidently he expected the po- und summoned lice would 1) showed urea a method of the officers J he might re: Not so slow, polite thing The maid alarmed, but the family , who appeal Incredulous 1 his experlen a burglar to . ...al was twenty feet from the house, ami not until the next day did he get a line on the true explanation of this on duct, as above suggested. Scrutinizing the tree carefully from the window, he confessed bis Inability to see anything unusual, as well as Ills Indisposition to dress and go out and climb the tree; so lie would fain chide the maid for seeing things that wore non-existent: but she refused to recede from any part of her declaration.\V.

IN THE GRAFT CASE EL PASO, May 12.—A conference of the insurrecto leaders was held here today to discuss the most feasible way of attacking Mexico City. They expect to have 20,000 troops when the march way to attack the national capital. Juarez.—Mexico's provisional government, composed of Insurrectionists, became an established fact yesterday with the naming of a cabinet by Francesco I. Madero, Ja., provisional president, and with the establishment of a capitol in the captured city of Juarez, where General Navarro and his federal troops are held prisoners. The cabinet follows: Minister of Foreign Relations— Dr. Vasquez Gomez. Minister of Finance—Gustavo A Madero. Minister of War—Venustano Carranza.Minister of the Interior—F. Gonzales Garza. Minister of Justice— Jose M. Pino Suarez. Private secretary to President Madero—Juan Sanchez Azcona. Secretary of War Carranza will have charge of railways and telegraphs. His first act was to grant permission for the repair of the Mexico Northwestern Railroad. Men Immediately began repairing the road bed south of Juarez. Gonzales Garza will have charge of the mall service and Secretary of the Treasury Madero will direct the affairs of the custom house. That the insurrecto army Is more than an armed mob, was shown yesterday in the absence of general looting and intoxication and the quickness with which the shattered city was cleared of Its dead and wounded. The embargo against visitors was removed during the day and sightseers In thousands poured across the bridges from El Paso. er. Sherlock Holmes figures out tMs dope: Mr. Wlnslow's entire stock of wearing apparel, except one suit, wo hasten to add, was hanging od the line to air all afternoon. The tramp, thinking that perhaps it had not been taken up stairs for the night, saw a possible chance to fit himself out in a Tuxedo of Ed Swartz's make, with trousers and waistcoat to match. In this he was foiled; but he need not lose hope. He can have Ills choice of a black suit for winter wear, or a sumer suit, somewhat frayed, but still sufficient for decency's sake, If he will only come back In the daytime, and no questions asked.
