CHARGES OF DRUCCING
LOU Dillon DISMISSED
SENSATIONAL DISPUTE OYER
MEMPHIS GOLD CUP Of
FICIALLR ENDED.

Decision by Board of Review of Ma
tiOnaI TrOtting Association Finds
That Major DeImar Won Trophy on
Merit--Driver George w. Spear Tes-
titles That Smathers Asked Him to
Open Negotiations with Ed. Saunders
to See if Lou Dillon Could Not be
''Fixcd"
New York, Dec. 5.-The Memphis gold
cup dispute was officially ended to-
night when the board of review of the
National Trotting association decided
that the trophy had been won on mer-
it, and dismissed the charges against
Elmer %. Smathers, the New York
h1rseman.
The case grew out Of the alleged
drugging of Lou Dillon, at Memphis,
Tenn, on October Is, 1904. Smathers,
who owned Major Delmar ana drove
him in the race, was charged with hav-
ing been cognizant of ill-treatment of
c, K. G. Billings mare which result
ed in the latter's withdraw wal from the
race, and the winning of the $4,000 gold
cup by Major Delmar. When the
charges were made suit was brought
by the Memphis association, but it was
stopped by injunction. To-day's hear
ing was for the purpose of determining
the facts.
The case occupied the whole day, but
was decided soon after the board re-
tired for deliberation tonight.
Many affidavits were introduced and
several witnesses examined. Some of
the testimony was sensational One af-
fidavit read was made by Ed Saunders,
who originally made the charges
against Smathers. Saunders In his ear
lier affidavit had sworn that Smathers
had paid him $4,000 to Inject eight
ounces of drug into Lou Dillon's body,
so as to stop her in the race. In the
affidavit read from Saunders to-day he
said that he was paid to make the
charges against Smathers and that they
were absolutely without foundation.
George w. Spear was the most damag-
ing witness against Smathers He swore
orally that Smathers had requested him
to open negotiations with Saunders to
see If Lou Dillon could not be fixed"
Spear said that Saunders had offered to
do the job for $4,000, but Smathers
thought that too much, and told him
10 drop the job The defense immedi-
ately brought witnesses who declared
that Spears character was bad.
Through an affidavit Louis Streuber,
described in the deposition as a "di-
rector of many corporations, said that
after the charges were made against
Smathers he went to St. Louis and in
terviewed Ed Saunders. brother of Lou
Dillon's trainer. Edward Saunders, the
affidavit states, was formerly Mr..
Streuber's betting commissioner and
the witness knew he would tell him the
truth.
Saunders, said Mr.. Streuber told him
that he had made the charges against
Smathers for a money consideration.
He had been approached, he said, by
George Spear, Smathers' former train
er, and then was placed into communi-
cation with Murray Howe, secretary of
the Memphis Trotting association. He
met the latter in Chicago and received
$1,000 for making an affidavit that Lou

New York, Dec. SIT was said here
tonight that Albert 7. Patrick, who

is said to have drawn up the applca-

and analyses his entire case. It is not
known whether the document has been

impression is that it is yet in the pos

representative, who will present it as

it has been decided on Patricks behalf
to withdraw that appeal. None of Pat

ner of selecting United States senators,

NEGOTIATIONS BROKEN OFF.
French Government offered Wright
Brothers $4,000 for Balloon.

Paris, Dec. 5.-The report received
from the United States that the Wright
brothers, the aeronauts of Dayton, O.,
are still negotiating with the French
government in the matter of their air
ship is incorrect. The Associated Press
learns that these negotiations were
definitely broken off several months
ago. The Wrlghts submitted general
plans to the government, guaranteeing
flight of fifteen miles and asking for
100000. The height of flight guaran-
teed was only seventy-five feet AS a
height of 900 feet is considered essen
tial for war purposes the government
declined to give more than $4,000.

Under U. S. Army officer, Gymnastics
or Athletics.
Ithaca, N. Y, Dec. 5.-speaking at a
Cornell celebration tonight, President
Schurman said that he believed that
Cornell university had solved the prob
lem Of physical training and athletics
for students.
For the first two years of the course.
whether academic, technical or profess
sional, all students are required to take
regular physical training, which con-
sists of drill during the first year under
an officer of the United States army
and gymnastics or athletics during the
second year, unless the student prefers
to continue drill. Within certain linn
its the student is permitted to take his
gymnastics or athletics in the form
which is most attractive to him.
Referring to football, President
Schurman congratulated friends Of the
game on the good effect which the new
rules had achieved He said he believ-
ed that one Improvement was still cali
ed for, namely, the stricter enforcement
of the rules by the officials in charge OF
the games. The national intercollegiate
rules committee has already made some
modification Of the rules as suggested
by the experience of the season, he de-
clared, and that 1t was still more I'M
portant that next year they should i'm
sist that the rules be promptly and rig-
idly applied.

STILL 100 MUCH POLITICS.
Civil Service Commission Finds CIassi-

Washington, Dec. 5.-The annual re-
port of the United States civil service
commission issued to-day states that
there is still too great disposition on
the part of persons in the classified
service to participate actively in politics
in spite Of the executive orders issued
from time to time.
The sentiment in favor of the merit
system is steadily growing, the COM
mission says, not only in congress but
among states and cities.
During the year 122094 persons were
examined, of whom 95,O35 passed and
41,S77 were appointed. From 40 to 60,
per cent of the highest elgibles de-
clined appointments for various rea-
sons, principally on account of the low
salaries offered by the government.

pays salaries that measure up fairly
well to the standard of private husi-
ness" says the report

TRIAL OF THE VERMONT.
New BattIeship Holds Successful Screw
Standardization Test.

Rockland, Me-, Dec. 5.-Under condi-
tions of weather and sea which might
easily have been better, the first class
battleship Vermont had her screw
standardization tests over a measured
mile of the Rockland course to-day,
and came fully up to expectations. Her
fastest speed with tidal corrections
was at the rate of 1852 knots an hour
The number of screw revolutions pro
ducing that speed was 118.47 per min
ute.
An average speed of 1S.4S8 was OBJ
tanned in the three fastest of the four
teen runs and the figures computed
from the entire Standardization trials
showed that in order to meet the con-
tract requirements of Is knots an hour,
the propeller. would have to make
LAOS revolutions per minute. To-mor-
row the battleship will leave Rockland
for a four hours trial run at sea, on
the baIEds of this Standardization.

AMERICAN PROSPERITY.
British Paper Attributes 1t to System
of Protection,

London, Dec. 6.-The Daily Mail com
ments this morning upon the Tale of
Amazing Prosperity told in Secretary
of the Treasury shaw's report, which 1t
attributes almost entirely to the sys-
tenn of protection. The paper says the
striking fact about this dazzling pros
perlty is that it prevails in country
which British free traders, fifteen years
ago, predicted would be ruined by pro-
lection.
The Daily Mail regards Secretary
ShaWs currency proposals as a bold
statement, but says they would not be
feasible except for the sixty millions
in duties collected from the foreign
countries
The Standard contending that the re-
port shows that the duties usually as
ISOLATED with the gerat state banks of
Europe are to be assumed by the treas
ury of the United States, says 1t is a
highly interesting experiment, which
will be watched here with more inter
est than anxiety.

Bennick, clerk to Captain c. MGR.
Winslow, of the cruiser Charleston, was
arrested upon his arrival at this port
to-day from South America as a pas

the occasion of his recent visit to South
America, Bennick is declared to have
deserted from the Charleston instead

PROHIBITS STOVES IN cans

Bill Introduced in the Legislature of
Vermont.
Montpelier, VT, Dec. 5.-A bill pro-
hibltlng the use of stoves in any pas
enger cars on railroads in this state
was introduced in the house to-day by
representative Jackson, of Barre. I'M
der the present laws the use of stoves
is prohibited in passenger cars, with
the exception of those attached to mix
ed trains. Much interest attaches to
this bill, because of the fact that pas
sengers who were on board the mixed
train which was wrecked at Vergennes
last Saturday declared that the fatal
fire which broke out Immediately aft
er the collision was directly due to the
presence of stoves in the passenger
cars.
