After a Butt.

CONSERVATION reigned for a time in
the grand stand at the racetrack yester
day afternoon. The little goat that is
always butting in around the racing
stables took his way to the more styl
ish crowd for IA while and wandered
up onto the grand stand and sought
out-so the people thought-those whom
he might butt without injuring his
head. He was nosing around promis
cuously for time getting acquainted
with the lay of the land, when one
of the attendants, with the assistance
of some of the crowd, put him out
without giving him his money back
He undoubtedly had a kick coming but
got no butt.

WON'T FACE
STARTER
AGAIN

Heno has hopelesly gone amiss. Such
is the news which comes from Morris
Park. Heno is undoubtedly one OF the
best liked turf stars seen on the metro
politan turf in years. After his race
in the Century OF a mile and halt,
Bullman. who rode him, noticed lump
in the colts troublesome fore leg.
Since then Heno has been handled GIN
gerly by Trainer Billy Lakeland. Heno
has been seen only occasionally and
then taking light gallops.
The real seriousness of his ailment
became apparent when Trainer Barney
Doyle began to plate him.
'Heno is in a bad way and l don
see how he will ever race again. re
marked Doyle.
Ever since the day he beat Yankee
in the Matron. the black son of Henry
Young has held a soft place IN the
affections of New York race goers. He
is the best natural rater running today
and when at his best Waterboy cannot
afford to take liberties with him at a
mile and half. He did not go to the
post in perfect form the day Wyeth
won his American derby at Chicago.
1t was not the real Heno who disap-
pointed thousands of New York racing
enthusiasts that June day.
One of his best races this year was
his Standard Stakes victory. He beat
Africander then in remarkably fast
time. At the disposal sale of Clar-
ence Mackay's stable w. S. Fanshawe,
the millionaire broker, bought Heno
for $4,000. BY virtue of Lakeland's ey-
pertness with ailing race horses. Heno
brought his owners name prominently
before the racing world this season.

Such day of racing as the followers
of the sport of kings got yesterday was
enough to give them several cases of
heart failure more than they could ever
recover from. Such odds!
A suppressed murmur of dissatisfac-
ton has been evident ever since the
first days card. Those of a sportive
turn are all willing to back their favor
lite animals with the real cold coin, and
lots of it. But these people have kick
coming on the Chicagoite who has cor
rallied the pools. Mr.. Mccarthy GER
tainly has a good thing out here.
So cramped have been his odds on
races in the past, where he had entire
control that he is now famous over the
west as Zone to -Four" Mccarthy.
It's a queer thing with IA Nc c..
but whenever a horse that looks like
pipe is entered in favorable race
Mccarthy puts the odds onto the tai
emit. In other words, they must make
the odds.
The races have been good all the
way through-and 4 to McC. has made
bushel of the gilt.
How the talent can go up against
as sure a thingadoodle as One Foul
it's hard TO explain.
The small 'pikers" are forced to pu'
up what to them is a small forum,
to make decent winning
But the "plungers" of this city ART
wise to Mccarthy and don't take very
kindly to his odds and instead SEM
their coin to Seattle poolrooms.
Owners having horses in a race have
no sort of show to back the reputa
tions of their animals because the odds
are so outrageous.
After favorites winning the first two
events at the Interstate track yester
day the talent went to the third ia
vorite, Major Hooker, like he wa

PREPARATIONS FOR
MOVEMENT OF TROOPS

WASHINGTON. Dec. 3.-Regarding re-
ports that troops have been ordered 20 pre-
pare for transportation TO Panama. a high
army official tonight made the following
statement:
1T is the duty Of every departmental and
post commander 10 make preparations FOR
the movement OF troops when there is
possibility that the men under his COM
mand may be needed for field service. Such
a contingency exists particularly AT this
time. when there is probability that the
administration may determine 10 dispatch
a force 10 the Isthmus OF Panama. From
this standpoint, have no doubt that de-
partment and other commands are preparing
their men for whatever service in the
direction indicated they may be called on 10
perform. A military force may be needed
on the isthmus IL the United States under
takes the work OF the construction Of the
canal, or for the purpose OF assisting I'm
preventing the predatory operations or
guerrilla bands, which may result from the
trouble between Panama and Colombia.
THE general STAFF of the army has given
some consideration TO the question OF the
probable necessity of dispatching troops 10
the isthmus. This has been stated hereto
fore. The future action Of the War Depart
ment will depend entirely on circumstances
as they develop. II troops are sent they
will go from New York and from San
Francisco, while such animals as may be
needed will be transported from New
Orleans, thus avoiding a long passage by
water"
1t is known here that some OF the de-
partments OF the army are making prepara-
tons. notably at San Francisco. IN the
equipment Of the army for the movement
of any troops that may be needed, having in
view the possibility of their being sent TO
the Isthmus of Panama.

CASE AGAINST SENATOR
SMOOT COMES UP JAN, 9
Senator Burrows Says Utah Man
VIII Probably Be Ready with
His Reply at That Date.
NO OUTLINE OF DEFENSE,

WASHINGTON, Dec Ex-senator Bur-
rows. who is chairman of the Senate COM
mittee on privileges and elections. which is
conducting the investigation OF the charges
against Senator Reed Smoot, Of Utah, said
to-day that the committee probably would
meet on Saturday, Jan. 8, for the continual
ton of the inquiry. While Senator Burrows
has received no notification from Senator
Smoot, he thinks it probable that the reply
of the latter to the charges against him
will be ready by the time mentioned. Sena-
tor Burrows would make no forecast OF the
proceedings of the committee. All depended,
he said, upon the nature of the response.
Before going to Salt Lake City Mr.. Smoot
said that he probably would deny some of
the charges and admit others but nothing
regarding his course has been heard since
the adjournment of Congress for the holi-
days. If Mr.. Shoots denial is such as to
challenge the authenticity of the Informal
ton upon which the accusations are based
it is the opinion of some of the members
of the committee that the authors of the
prove them, and in that event there proba-
bly, would be a quite general investigation
into the present day practices of the Nor
mon Church, with reference both to mar
riages and politics. The committee has, how
ever, reached no conclusion looking to such
a course, and Chairman Burrows declined
TO express any opinion to its probability.
If Senator Smoot should admit the charges
as a whole, which is not considered proba-
BILE, there We lid then be nothing left for the
committee but to consider the legal aspect
of the case, and decide whether the facts
alleged, even if true, disqualify man from
tions are that the question will be before
the committee for some time.

estates in England in which those ad-

the State Department for information as to
the estates. The department referred some
OF these inquiries to the United States en-
bassy at London, and acting Secretary
Loomis has just received a report from that
office to the effect that Thatcher had been
