New York, Feb. 1O.-The most sensational
turf scandal in years WAS revealed last night
when it became known that E. e.. Smathers,
the millionaire horseman, has been accused of
knowing that drugs had been administered to
Lou Dillon G. billings famous tr9eees
driving his own horse, Major Delmar, beat Lou
Dillon.
The gold. cup, worth $4,000, which Smathers
won at that time has been taken by deputy
sheriff out Of Smathers magnifcently furnished
suite in the Pierrepont apartment house here here
and is now In the sherif's office. Mr.. Smathers
said the cup had been seized before he learned
Of the startling accusations, and that he believed
his former trainer and Mr. Billings trainer
who drove Lou Dillon in the race, We're being
used by some Of great power to injure
4 him. .,@ :
On Wednesday while Mr.. smathers was out
OF town Deputy Sheriff Murray went to the
Pierrepont and. after demanding admittance,
showed the butler writ of repleytn for the
cup. The butler was suspicious and at once
consulted attorney before permitting the sher-
4 III to take any action. The writ was examined
and then, on advice, the butler gave up the
cup. = cEE5iIz
Smathers returned to his apartments and, on
learning OF the seizure OF the cup, was furious.
An attorney at once retained to take up
the case, and it was found that only few
hours of the three days allowed by law re-
manned in which he might deposit bond for
the cup, indicating that he would fight the writ.
In another day he would have lost the cup for

In the Memphis race Mr.. smathers drove his
own horse, and after winning the cup he added
It to his fine collection. A man named Saunders
drove the Billings horse, which had just pre-.
viously added to the 1aurels of the Billings
stable by defeating Major Delmar.
Mr.. Smathers said: ''If dope was used on Lou
Dillon had no hand in 1t and knew nothing
about it until the present time. Lou Dillor
