a SCANDAL
STARTLES TURF
Smathers Said to Have
Been Cosnizant of
Coping.
ASSOCIATED Press Telegram

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb. 10.-Murray
Howe, secretary of the Memphis Trot-
ting Association at the time of the
race for the Memphis Gold Cup in
1904, and Frank G. Jones, president OF
the club, are out of the city and no
one in authority here is competent to
speak upon the question of the posi-
bility that Lou Dillon had been given
drugs before her race with Major
Delmar.
The race was one of the most sensa-
tional in the history of the local trot-
ting turf. The $4,000 gold cup, which
it is said has been taken away from
Mr.. Smathers' apartments in New
York, was offered by the Memphis
association and was to belong to the
driving club whose member won it
twice. E. E. Smathers took the first
race in 1902 with Lord Derby. c. K.
g. Billings won the next one in 1908
with Lou Dillon, and the final race the
year following was won by Mr.. Smath-
ers, who drove Major Delmar. Before
the race Lou Dillon had worked close
to the record and she was favorite in
the betting, although Major Delmar
was at the top of his form. In the
first heat Lou Dillon, driven by Mr..
Billings, went well to the half mile
post and then dropped back hopelessly
beaten. When the horses were brought
out for the second heat it was decided
by Willard Sanders, of the Billings
stable, and veterinary, that the mare
had "thumps' and Mr.. Billings drove
the second heat merely to give the
event the appearance of a contest, and
made no attempt to win.

INTERESTING TALK
ON TIE HOLY LAND

Palestine and the City of the
Great King" was the title of an inter
esting address delivered at Y NJ. C. A.
hall yesterday afternoon by Rev. S. p.
Merrill, formerly secretary of the
Rochester Theological University, now
on his way to Japan.
OF the city of Jerusalem and the
surroundings, so interesting to and
revered by so many people, the speaker
gave a vivid description, particulariz-
ing those places, the location of which
are authenticated bv latter day knowl-
edge. The character of the informa-
ton given sightseers to the Holy Land
by the guides and natives, is wholly
unreliable in most instances. The To-
cation of the Holp Sepulchre and other
most sacred spots is wisely withheld,
said Mr.. Merrill, to prevent the Chris
tian following the natural inclination
to dwell on places and things rather
than the truth with which they are as
sociated Of the guides and natives
the speaker asserted that they were
among the greatest liars to be found
anywhere, and were always willing
and able to point out the exact spot of
every event recorded in the Scriptures
for baksheesh. The Arab children. too,
were insolent to tourists. crowd of
them following the speaker for some
miles on the road to Hebron, cursing
him in a chorus resembling college
yell and watching for an opportunity
to pilfer from him.
The city of Hebron, the oldest city
spoken of in the Bible, was described.
Here are the tombs of Abraham and
Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah and Joseph,
carefully guarded in a mosque built
around them and inaccessible except to
the faithful or TO Franks provided with
frman direct from the Sultan of
Turkey. The last Frank to visit these
tombs was Kaiser Wilhelm, and the
only Englishman admitted during
many years was King Edward, then
Prince of Wales. 1t was from the |
heights above this city that Abraham |
witnessed the destruction of Sodom
and Gemorrah, four thousand years
ago.
On the trip from Hebron back to :
Jerusalem the party visited the city OF
Jericho and the sites Of the two for
mer cities of that name. passing by the
high cliffs on which Elisha was fed by
the ravens A monastery is now built
on this spot and many ravens nest
about the building.
Among the curious things spoken Of
were the large buildings at Jerusalem,
built for Roman and Greek Catholic
pilgrims; a fountain with two taps, one
FOR Greek users and the other for Jews,
and the wailing places around the jew
sh synagogues where the Jews met to
Draw for the coming of the Messiah.

w. r. Castle is the latest citizen to

thereto he has shaved off his whiskers.
And thereby hangs a tale. Mr.. Castle
is director of the Honolulu Rapid
Transit & Land Company, and has
one of the company's passes over the
lines of the railway. The story is told
or him that he boarded a car and the
conductor asked him for his fare. Mr..
Castle answered: Pass H." The con-
ductor looked at the director for a mo-
ment, and is then reported to have re-
piled: 'Oh, no, l guess not; that is

ductor was finally convinced that the

involving property worth $3,000,0OO,

The first heat of the skating race be-
tween l.. M. Morgan and II. Davidson
at the Mechanics Pavilion resulted in
a victory for Davidson. For the first
three laps the race was close, with
Morgan in the lead. In trying to pass
the local man, Davidson fell to the
floor. He was rapidly overhauling his
rival, however. when Morgan took
tumble. Davidson crossed the line
with good lead, covering the mile in
three minutes and three seconds.

terms, which are said to be $4,000 for

While in Bradley's employ that he
made the big hit. Bradley is West

the closing of racing at Gotham, Knapp
stopped over at Chicago and called on

VICTORIOUS
Crack Pitcher McGinnis
Nearly Wins for
Infantry.

A big crowd went to Waikiki yester-
day to see the 10th Infantry and the
unbeaten All-Portuguese nine play a
game of baseball.
The Tenth had the services of Nc
Ginnis of the Second Cavalry now in
port aboard the transport Buford and
who formerly pitched for the army
team in Manila.
A close and interesting game re-
suited in a win for the Portuguese
team by the margin of solitary tally,
the score being to 5.
The teams were as follows:
Tenth Infantry-McGinnis, p; Ring
land, c.; Schoeffel, h.; Van Vliet, Jr.,
2b.; Carey, 3d.; Van Vliet, ST., s. s.;
Horn, t. f.; Boyle, |. f.; Fenner, C. f.
All-Portuguese-F. Freitas, p; l..
Soares, c.; Pimental, h.; Fernandez,
2b.; j. Maderias, 3D.; Evers, s. s.; f.

Freitas, C. f.
The score by innings:
12345 $3.50
10th Infantry .. 4 0 0 0 0 o 0 Is
All-PoTa uguese -. 50
McGianis proved himself to be a
crackerJack of a pitcher and was in
splendid form considering that he had
just come off the transport. He pitches
ball with a wonderful drop. Evers
stated yesterday that he was the best
twirler he had ever played against.
The 10th Infantry would like Nc
Ginnis to remain here and play for
them but that is out of the question.
With McGinnis in the box the Infantry
would have team that would take a
lot of beating.
The game yesterday lasted one hour
and two minutes. Evers pitched the
first innings for the Portuguese ana
was hammered for bingles. The idea
in pitching Evers was to save Freitas
for the game on Thursday with the
Diamond Hes 5. The latter took the
ball in the Sc md inning and only one
run was scored off him the rest of the
game.
Bushnell will play third base for the
Lusitanas against the Diamond Heads
on Thursday.

THEY FOUGHT
OVER MEAT
Dogs and Newsboys En-.
Joy Feast on Fort
Street.

An amusing incident was witnessed
on Fort street, near King, one after
noon recently. An express wagon
slipped a box of meat into the street
| and the driver went his way without
| noticing the loss of his cargo. On
striking the ground the box broke and
a profusion of chops, steaks, kidneys,
soup bones and a nice roast Uttered the
road
A couple of dogs which were playing
near corner cigar store scented the
feast and bore down joyfuuy on the
meat. The wind was blowing in the
direction of the meat market at the
time and half dozen mOngrels, whose
happy hunting ground is in the vicin-
ity OF the market were soon on the
scene.
Those dogs never had such a time
before in their lives. A big black fell
low ate half of the roast and then fig
ured out that he d like a chop to top
off with. A red, white and blue col
ored cur, who only wanted - E Pluribus
Unum' to be stamped on him to be
the great national dog, toyed alter
nately with kidney and a rib steak,
and then deserted what was left OF
both to firt with a soup bone. Five
other canine nOndescripts fought over
some prime ribs of beef and by the
unseemly disturbance they created,
woke up the policeman on the corner.
The dogs We're not allowed to have
things all their own way, however.
The newsboys of the evening papers,
which have offices in the vicinity, soon
got wise to the chance of big eating
and the poor little fellows gave
up the task of trying to sell
their papers and frenzied by the unac
customed sight of meat were soon dis
putting with the dogs the ownership of
what remained.
Between the dogs and the evening
papers newsboys, the street was
speedily cleared of every vestige of
meat and those youngsters who were
fortunate enough to secure a piece
large enough to cook, went home
happy.
