GATES BETS ON SIR MARTIN He Putt Up $5,009 Total of American Wagers 5300,000, Promising a Harvest of More Than a Million. Cbie to Tub New tork Times. LONDON, May 25.

Probably never did a Derby arouse such a national sentiment as the race which is to bo decided to-morrow is doing. The question which everybody is asking: la not -What win win Derby?" but -Will it be the English -King's Minora or the American-bred Sir Martin? Many knowing ones think it -will probably be neither, but with the public at large it is almost altogether an Anslo-Amerlcan contest. Americans here, almost to a man. are backing Sir Martin, who will carry, on a conservative estimate, $300,000 of American money, which, means, in the event of hi3 success, winnings amounting to more than a million. Some big individual bets are talked about, and a large amount of New York money is being placed by agents here.

Among others. John W. Gates sent over $7,000 the end of last week, -which. I understand, was put on Sir Martin at fairly good cMs. Mr.

Gates is backing bis opinion that Sir Martin is the best lioree ever shipped from America," The prediction made recently that Louis Winans's horse would reach evens in the betting has not been borne out, but his steady advance is significant enough, and to-morrow'a track betting will probably narrow the odds more. Ills trainer declares that Sir Martin-will make the race of his life. 1 Patriotic loyalty is largely respon-; fible for MInoru's place at the head of the list at odds of 9 to 4, and certain members of Tattersalls are believed to have made books with a wide margin of allojutrnce for thia factor. It Is noteworthy that while all the tipsters loyally name Minoru as the winner, the canny majority of them buttress their selection with a second choice, usually Louviers or Valeria. Bayardo is the dark horse of the race and he has a steady following, despite unsatisfactory rumors current-about his recent Among those who like to gamble on an outsider.

Interest in the English Derby, to be run to-day on Epsom Downs, was manifest everywhere yesterday and last night In New York, and, from all reports, through America, to a degrree that caused orders from most of the big hotels and from great numbers of public resorts, for special news service, and the Derby result will he bulletined to-day as never was hcrse race bulletined before. The increased interest in the classic is entirely due to the prominence in the contest cf the American bred and owned colt.

Martin for Sir Martin, in his solitary challenge to the best horses of England for the most famous and highest prized event of the turf, has made special appeal to American patriotism, and Americans who never saw a horse race, and who never even Imagined betting on one, win hear the news with as much eagerness as the most confirmed turf gamblers. In the biff hotels simple announcement of the result will be made, with auch Information as may be included in the bulletin service, but a more ambitious effort to be mode at the Waldorf-Astoria. It was stated yesterday that for the "Waldorf a full report of the race would be secured, if possible, and that for the' first time a detailed description of the running of the Derby will be called cut as the race progresses. The effort to tend a description of the race while it is selng run will offer great difficulties, though it may be possible. The Derby was much talked of yesterday throughout New York, and betting men were compelled to decline innumerable offers of wagers on Sir Martin at "post odds," or even at a reduction of the odds quoted in the csbled reports of th latest betting on the Epsom classic The difference in time between London and New York, about five hours, shut off any certainty for bookmakers, who might be willing to "scalp" the odds If they could bet off at longer prices the -wagers they took in, but the offers were only of Sir Martin money, and an bets that actually were taken by New York bookmakers were exceptions to the rule.

There were many belated wafers sent abroad through brokers or their agents yesterday, and estimates of the amount buKitiesg thus transacted put the total a large sum, but again tee difference Contlnaed on Page 2.

Caught fast between the net work and the side wall of an elevator in the Chesterfield apartments, 274 West Nineteenth Street.

Mrs. William F. Coe. though in great agony, calmly directed the work of two firemen who worked last night to release her. The woman stood the ordeal for about an hour, and when liberated fainted from pain and shock.

Her right side was terribly bruised. She will" recover. Mrs. Coe lives on the fourth floor. Returning, she found the elevator boy, Edgar Cardln, a negro, answering the hall telephone.

She was In a hurry to get to her rooms and started the elevator herself. As she passed the third floor Mrs. Coe feared that she might have trouble in slopping the car at the fourth floor and took Hold of the cable. She got too near the door of the ascending car, and he dress caught. This drew her toward the door, and in a twinkling she was half out of the car, with her right side jammed between thb network on the side of the car and the side wall of the elevator welL Realizing that she would be crushed to death if the car was not stopped, Mrs.

Coe reached over and pulled hard on the cable. This stopped the elevator, but she pulled too hard and the car dropped sev-era! feet before it stopped. This left Mrs. Coe held fast with her right side wedged between the net of the car and the wall and with her feet more than a foot from the bottom of the car. The screams of Mrs.

Coe brought tenants, and Firemen William Kelly and Patrick Mulroy were summoned. They found the elevator boy about to start the car from the ground floor and stopped him. Had the car been started Mrs. Coe would have been crushed to death. Kelly and Mulroy found it impossible to open the.

door without crushing the woman, and with tools started to take off the doors. The firemen started on the section nearest the extreme edge of the car. It's the other door that holds me," said Mrs. Coe quietly; "perhaps you'd better loosen that first." The firemen had a long, tedious Job to get the screws all unfastened, and throughout the ordeal Mrs. Coe kept cool.

It won't help any to swear." said Mrs. Coe, trying to smile down at the men when one of them ripped out a few oaths because the head of a bolt broke. The door was finally taken off and Mulroy climbed up into the car and helped Mrs. Coe out of her plight. She fainted immediately.

Dr. McClure of New York Hospital was called and he said the woman's side had been badly contused, as well as her hip. She refused to go to the hospital. COTTON EXCHANGE ATTACKED. Speculator in Control, Manufacturers Declare Choose New Orleans Market.

Resolutions were adopted by the American CottdA Manufacturers' Association, which met at the Jefferson Hotel this morning, expressing approval of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange tas a market for spot cotton, and deprecating the speculative clement declared to be In control of the New JTork cotton market. Tlhs action followed the report of a Special Committee on Cotton Exchange, presented by Capt.

Elison Smith of Reiser. S. C. This committee has had the subject under consideration for a year, and has visited the Exchanges in New York and New Orleans. Recent changes in the management of the New Orleans market, made at the instance of the manufacturers, made that market, according to the report of the committee, ajinost Ideal, giving an opportunity both for the purchase of spot cotton and the hedging.

necessary to protect future contracts. The New York Exchange, It was reported, had not met the suggestions of the committee, and continued to operate In the interests of the speculators and plungers rather than of the manufacturers and dealers In cotton. Resolutions were adopted asking the telegraph companies to furnish in all centres of cotton trading facilities for trading on the New Orleans Exchanjfe equal to that now afforded the New York market.

ROGERS HOLDINGS SMALLER Directors Spread on the Minutes a Strong Eulogy of Their Late Associate. J. P. Morgan, was elected to suc ceed the late H. H.

Rogers In the Direct orate and Finance Committee of the United States Steel Corporation at yesterday's meeting of the board. The announcement, which was made late In the afternoon, was regarded In Wall Street as significant of the further lntrench-ment of the Morgan Interests in power In the corporation. It was recalled that before the panlo of 1007 rumors were afloat that the so-called Standard Oil interests in the corporation had become so strong as to threaten the Morgan supremacy in the trust Yesterday's election of P. Morgan, gives the Morgan banking house four of its own members tn the Steel Directorate J. P.

Morgan himself, his son, George W. Perkins, and Charles Steele. Others of the twenty-four Directors are so closely anted with the Morgan interests as to be known as Morgan men." In another direction importance was attached to the announcement for the pro-sumption, It carried that the amount of Steel stock held by the Rogers estate is considerably less than was the case two years ago. Wall Street figures that if Mr. Rogers had remained a large stockholder up to the time of his death, his son, H.

IL Rogers, or his son-in-law, Urban H. Broughton, might have been chosen as his logical successor, rather than a representative of the "Morgan Interests. In many matters of policy In the past the so-called Standard Oil Interests have been credited with holding contrary views to that of the banking house which floated the Steel Corporation. J. P.

Morgan. in tmcceedlng Mr. Rogers, becomes a member of the class of directors whose terms expire in 1310. At the meeting yesterday Elbert II. Gary, Chairman of the Board, and of the Finance Committee, offered the following eulogy of Mr.

Rogers's work and personality, which was spread on the minutes of the meeting: Henry ll. Rowers was a. member of the Board of Directors and of the Fi nance Committee of the United States Steel Corporation from the time of Its organisation in 1801 to the time of his death, which occurred on May 19, I WW. He took an active interest in the affairs th having attended the Finance Committee dur-Inor the afternoon of May 18. 1900.

and was cordial and effective in supporting the policies which have prevailed. With respect to the business Interests of this country, Mr. itogers was a stai wart amonir stalwarts. His natural ca pacity, wde experience, keen perception, and sound Judgment entitled him to a position in the first ranks of successful business men. In the consideration of the many complicated questions which have arisen concerning tne corporation he has been or exeat influence and bene fit.

Ma never wasted time, nor Indulged In prolonged discussion.

CHICAGO. May 25. May wheat shorts have only four, days more before they must settle. The last delivery day for th May option Is Saturday, and there Is little Indication that anything will happen to break the grip of James A. Patten on the market.

It is not believed that there Is a large short interest In May wheat at this time. Mr. Patten has been peddling out his Mar holdings for more than two weeks at the rate of 250,000 bushels or more a day. Besides, he already has taken more than 2,000,000 bushels of the aotual axaln. Prices to-day showed that the shorts had been unduly frightened by the pssslm-intle reports of Monday regarding the rowing crop.

With the exception of May wheat all the deferred options sold r.bout 1 cent lower than on the close Monday night. May wheat on the contrary made a new high record, which has been a dally occurrence for the last week, and sold as high as $1 8o4. It did not maintain this price long after the nrwnlnr. elllnK' as low as S1.3344 and closing- at S1.H4. or Just a half cent lower man on iionaay.

TEACHERS ticSENT INQUIRY. Say Their Private Life Is No Concern of the City. Many of the men and women teachers of the city are said to be opposed to the In vestigatlon of their personal affairs, such as their standards of living and the num ber of persons they support, which the proposed Mayor's Commission Is expected to conduct. It was reported yesterday on good authority that If the teachers as a rale did not actually resent the efforts of such a commission, they would do nothing to aid the work. The contend that tht responsibilities which they have to meet on the salary offered them by the city is their affair and not the city's.

This view, ac cording to some of those who have dis cussed the matter since the Mayor sug-, iurh a commission when he vetoed the Equal Pay BUI. Is that they are paid for the services rendered and what use they make of their money Is not the city's concern.

WASHINGTON, May 23. In the expeo- tatlon of disposing of the remtJnlng sep arate schedules in the Tariff bill by June 10, the Finance Comrtgittee let It become known to-day that a vote on the income tax proposition on or after that date would not be objected to. Senators Aldrich and Crane called at the White House last night and told the President that such an amendment to the bill could be carriedby a margin of two or three votea Among the Republican In surgents, however, the impression is gen eral that Senator Bailey of Tfxas has destroyed what chances the tax had of passage by separating the Democratic and insurgent supporters ofjt. Senator Borah, who has been among the leaders for the income tax, still believes there is a good fighting chance, but on the Republican side he is practically alone In that belief. Despite the committee's, estimate that June 10 would see the items of the Tariff bill disposed of, to-day was given up to oratory, and no progress was made dur ing the seven hours of the Senate ses sion.

As was announced last night. Sen ator Aldrlch moved the passing over of the lumber schedule to-day to permit of the rewriting of the duty on rough and sawed lumber, and for the readjustment of the differential. The sugar and molasses schedule was then taken up, and long speeches, mostly typewritten, became the order of the day. TAFT REASSURES LOEB. Tells Him to-Keep Up Reform Work and Pledges Support.

May all records for big boats On the Mississippi, the battleship of the same name arrived off this city from Natches tonight, having made 280 miles in fourteen hours. She left the Mississippi city at daybreak this morning, and for many hours kept up a clip of 22 miles an hour. This performance tas been beaten only by the crack motor boat Brer Fox of St. Louis, a craft forty feet long, with a speed of S9 miles an hour. The Mississippi also made fast time In getting under way.

In thirteen and a half minutes after leaving Natches she was going full speed. Twenty-five min utes is regarded as good time in the navy for getting under way at sea. At Natches Island, a little below Natch ez, there was fifty-four feet or water. and the shoalest place the Mississippi passed was forty-three feet and a half. so at no time was there any danger of her running- as had been feared 67 soma In some places -there was no bottom at twenty fathoms' sounding.

Between 7 and 8 o'clock this morning the Mississippi made her best time, goltjg slightly over the twenty-two miles and a half mark. The boat did not slow up un til near noon, when the approach of a fleet of coalboats necessitated tt. After that comparatively slower time was made. AH along the route the Mississippi was saluted with cannon, flying flags, and whistles. Each town tried to outdo the others in celebrating the passing of the boat.

As Baton Rouge, the capital, was passed Gov. Sanders and other State of ficials assembled In the door of the State House on a bluff near the river, and the State House flag was dipped. To Capt. J. C.

Special to Tht Ntiv York Times. WASHINGTON. May 25. Ninety-six rut of the total of 7S0 cadets at the Naval Academy are physically unfit for service. This startling information was conveyed to Secretary Meyer Capt.

John M. Bowyer. who will succeed Capt. Bad- ger next month as Commandant of the Naval School at Annapolis. The young men for the most part are suffering with heart trouble and defective eyesight.

The fact that more than 12 per cent of the cadets are not eligible 1 to enter the service has occasioned surprise in naval circles. Of the ninety-six, however, only seven or eight are so seriously affected as to necessitate their retirement at once. The others, or at least a majority of them, are expected to benefit by the Sum mer cruise to such an extent that tney will be able to pass the surgeons' exami nation satisfactorily when they return to their classes in the Fall. Secretary Meyer is inclined to believe that a better lighting system will put an end to the prevalence of falling eyesight, but he is at a loss to account for the heart trouble. It ha been suggested that too much attention to athletics may be the reason for this, but Mr.

Meyer is dubious. He is awaiting the recommendations Of the Board of Inquiry that has been appointed before asking any action, TAFT ENFORCES ECONOMY.
