Kentucky derby and Kentucky handi

Vulcanite, owned by W. F. Poison,
which led the also rans in the Ken

regarded if the race is run in the mud,
while Degalio. under the same condi

won in 1SS3 by Leonatus, with the fa

SEA MURDER STORY
ATTACKED IN COURT
Army Psychiatrist Gives Evi
dence Regarding Blows.
GRUDGE HELD INSPIRATION
Defense Holds That Man Felled to
Deck and Thrown Into Sea Could
Not Call for Help.
SEATTLE, Wash.. June 6. (Special.)
Endeavoring to prove that Charles
Hannen. second officer of the schooner
Edward R. West, met an accidental
death, on the theory that a man would i
be unable to call for assistance after
being knocked into the sea by a vio
lent blow, counsel for Frederick Han
sen, facing a charge of first-degree
murder in the United States district
court, Friday called Major Robert P.
Smith, psychiatrist at Camp Lewis, as
a witness.
Following the reading into the evi-
fence of the schooner's log for May 31.
he day on which Hannen was lost, and
in which the fatality was attributed to
accident, the- defense called the ship's
master. Captain C. W. Bresting, and
Major Smith.
Murder Story Questioned.
In answering a hVDOthetical Question
from Attorney Winter S. Martin. Maior
Smith indicated that if the big mate, a
man ol singularly powerful frame, had
struck Hannen. under the circum
stances related by Karl Alio, a previous
witness, Hannen would have been un
able to call to the crew to lower a boat.
out would have been rendered uncon
scious or semi-conscious by the force
of the blow coupled with the impact of
his head with the deck.
The defense aims to convince th
jury that Karl Aho, the only witness to
Hansen s alleged attack on Hannen, in- i
vernea tne story or the assault merely
to gratify a personal grudge against
the muscular mate.
Thorwald Ost. called by the prosecu
tion Friday, told of Hansen's habitual
roughness In handling the crew and
said he struck Hannen. dragged him
around by the ears and taunted him
with vile epithets, on ono occasion
knocking hi msenscless.
Los Signed in Fear.
. Edward Aho, like his brother, said he
signed the log because of his fear of
Hansen, whom he alleged threatened
to "fix him" if he "said anything." He
testified that his brother told him of
Hansen's having knocked the second
mate overboard, but that he had not
seen it personally.
Hannen either fell, or was knocked,
from the deck load amidship to the
deck, from which he slipped into the
sea. Calling upon the burly mate to
stand up. that he might better exhibit
his superb physique to the witness. At
torney Martin asked Major Smith
whether a man of Hanncn's atrc and
stature he was 37 years old and
weighed about 150 would be able to
call for help after being knocked into
the sea by Hansen, under the circum
stances related by Karl Aho.
The question was objected to by United
States District Attorney Robert S.
Saunders, but Mr. Martin was per
mitted by Judge E. E. Cushman to
frame a hypothetical query which
covered the situation.
Log Account Brief.
Captain Bresting identified the log
book introduced as evidence, and said
the entry dated May 31. 191S. the day
Hannen was lost, was in his writing.
It read, in part, as follows:
"Just at change of watch, all hands
on deck. After bracing the squaresail
yard and going forward, Charles Han
nen must have stumbled his feet.agalnst
a deckload lashing on a lumber butt,
fell down and rolled overboard."
The account of efforts to save Han
nen agreed with the testimony given
by the sailors. Captain Bresting, how
ever, said the sea was somewhat rough
on tne morning in question, whereas
the Aho brothers eaid it was almost
calm. Several days before the shin
reached Durban, the captain said, every
member of the crew signed the entries
in the log without question.
At Durban he reported Hanncn's
death to the United States consul, he
asserted, and there was no mention of
Hansen s alleged guilt by the Aho
brother!". The trial will continue at 10
o'clock Tuesday morning.

MAJOR LEAGUE HEADS CONFER,
Division or World's Series Receipts
Topic of Conference.
NEW YORK, June . John Heydler
and Ban Johnson, presidents of the Na
tional and American leagues, conferred
today on the division of the players'
portion of the world series receipts,
both asserting- they recognise a strong
sentiment in favor of the old method
of dividing the players' share amonr
the members of the two contesting
clubs. Last year, the players of the
teams finishing in the first four posi
tions in each league were given a fixed
sum.
Heydler said he and Johnson would
make an effort to find the stand ot
the individual clubs, and hope to arrive
at a decision at a meeting of th na
tional commission at Cincinnati next
week.
PRACTICALLY every club In the
country sends out spasmodic pleas
at various times during the season
requesting the goiters to replace the
divots. They are all doing it now. On
occasions the notices are posted on the
tee boxes or else in red type on the
score cards asking that this little thing
be done.
It is almost impossible to play shots
without cutting the turf, and no one
expects a player to do o, but when
golfers are seen to play their shots,
send a big divot flying and then calmly
walk on without making an effort to
have the caddie replace it, it Is enough
to make the chairman of the greens
committee see red where he saw green.
After the first day of the national
amateur championship at Detroit in
115 the chairman of the greens com
mittee was seen walking over the
course replacing divots. Those who
played at Detroit were unanimous in
saying that the turf was as fine as
any they had ever seen on any circuit
in the country, but the chairman said
bitterly, "I wonder how they think we
keep the turf so well?"
It only takes a second or two to pu'.
the divot back, and a stamp of the foot
insures a continuation of the good turf.
Some caddies are so trained that they
will replace the divots without waitins
for the pkiyers to ask for it. but the
majority of the boya are governed by
the goiters, and unless tho latter insist
on the torn turf bclnx replaced the bo3
I give, it io further thought.
