Judge De Haven, in passing what was

marked that he did not believe that the
statute under which the voracous young
man had been indicted intended to cover
such cases as the one before him and
make them felonies. but that as the pris-
oner had pleaded guilty, it was lncum-
bent upon the court TO pass judgment
He, therefore, sentenced the prisoner to
pay a fine OF $40 without alternative OF
imprisonment. Myers threupon was al
lowed 10 depart free man.
From the tenor OF Judge De Haven's re-
marks IL was evident that he was loath TO
place the brand OF a felon upon the brow
Of defendant for fraudulently obtaining
a few meals. and that he did not consider
that congress intended to do anything OF
the kind when the statute was framed
under which the indictment had been
found.

DENIES DOPING CHARGES

The story OF the alleged doping OF Lou
Dillon when she trotted the great match
with Mai. Delmar was the general sub
tect of discussion among sporting men at
San Francisco. Mllard Saunders the
mares trainer. was seen at the Pleasan-
ton track. He said
Everything was done TO insure fair
play. My theory OF her failure that day
is that she became overexcited and de-
veloped thumps. To say that she contin-
ued In that condition is absurd as three
days later she actually broke her record
az private track
Ed Motley, caretaker OF Lou Dillon at
the time OF the memorable match. was
also found at Pleasanton. lie said: "It
would have been next 10 impossible 10 put
lead into Lou Dillon's quarter boots or
administer quicksilver In n bag without
my knowledge or connivance Every pre-
caution was taken I'm the stable. and
would permit no one TO feed her with ap-
pie or sugar. Spear was never around the
stable except for few minutes on the
morning Of the race"
The Memphis gold cup Is still In the
hands OF the Sheriff G.. X O. Billings
who is accused by E. r. Smathers whose
trotter, Mai Delmar won the trophy i'm
1904. OF having inspired the action OF the
Memphis Trotting association for the re-
covery OF the cup, arrived in New York
but refused 10 discuss the matter.
Mr.. Smathcrs repeated his assertion
that the charges that he had caused Lou
Dillon. Billings horse. TO be drugged be-
fore the race for the cup I'm 1904. was ut
terly without foundation. Mr. Smathers
has received several kilograms from mem
bers OF the Memphis Trottine association
expressing their Indignation at the charge
and declaring that It is a put-up job.
Mr.. Smathers filed a $1,000 bond at the
sherfs office on Saturday for the recov-
cry OF the trophy. He will regain possess
sion OF the cup as soon as the bond is
approved
