LEHR TRIAL IS
CONVERTED into
POLITICAL FIGHT
Lane, Democrat, Caruthers
Lock HOrns-Lane Tactics
Win Day.
SENATOR PROVES LEHR
NEVER WAS CHARGED
Obtains POstpOnement of Case
to October 3-Caruthers
Enlists T. ID. Hines.

! A battle Of legal wits, favored with
political significance last night was
staged before Mayor kage when an
attempt was made to bring Dr.. J. s.
Lehr to trial on a charge of practicing
as a veterinary surgeon without hav-
ing 4 state license.
The political phase of the contest
lay in fight between Prosecuting At
toney J. Henry Caruthers and Sen
atOr Thomas f. Lane. CarutherS is a
candidate for reelection to the posi-
tion on the Republican ticket and Lane
is the Democratic candidate for the of
fee.
Lane represented Doctor Lehr and
Caruthers, who has acted as attorney
for Lehr in civil actions heretofore, led
in the prosecution. Caruthers was
joined in the prosecution by T. p.
Hines of Jackson, who had been taken
into the case to assist the prOsecut-
ing attorney.
As a result Lanes tactics. the
trial Of the case was postponed till
October ,. The case already has been
continued on several occasions.
Several days ago Caruthers filed
three informations against Lehr in
which he sought to charge him with
violation Of the law requiring him to
have a state license to practice veter-
mary surgery. Such violation of the
law would have been a misdemeanor
and subject to fine.
The date for trial was set last night
before Mayor Rage as Justice of the
Peace The trial was to be held in the
Common Pleas courtroom. Senator
Lane opened the legal battle by filing
Il motion to quash the infOrmatiOns on
the grounds that under the law, his
client was not properly charged in the
infOrmations-
He then took the floor and showed
that the law provides that a man may
perform certain acts of veterinary
work as a student and gratuitousiy
without having a license.
Caruthers and his assistant, Hines,
thereupOn filed an amendment to the
information and desired to proceed
with the trial of the case. Lane de
clared his client was not ready to 20
to trial and eventually obtained tine
continuance when he filed an affidavit
saying s. A. Knott, one Of Lehr's wit
nesses, was required for his case and
that he was not present.

$lOO-FINE APPROVED
BY TROTTINC ASSN.

National Order-Must Pay
to Drive Again.

Action of the judges of the races at
the Cape Fair in fining 8. f. Lamport,
one of the drivers on the track, S1OO
for misconduct, has been upheld by
the officials of The American Trotting

drive in races has been withheld, un-
til payment of the fine.
The decision of the American Trot-
ting Association officials was made
known in the Cape yesterday when
Secretary Albert J. Lilly received a
letter from the secretary of the trot-
ting association.
The letter declared that the driver
must pay the fine before he will have
the right to compete in race on any
other race courses that are controlled
by the rules of the association.
The man was fined on the last day
of the fair when he used language ;o-
ward the judges unbecoming a driver
in the races. Friends of Lamport's in
terceded for him, but TO no avail.
Lamport was a driver of horse
named Lena Mako in the 2:15 trOt.
One other situation remains to be
disposed of by the officials of the
American Trotting Association that
arose at the Cape Fair. A horse named
Graustark that was shipped to the fair
here from California was asked for
Identification. The horse won two
races and through a misunderstanding
an appeal was taken to the officers of
the trotting association.
Mayor Kage expects to hear from
the case within a short time.
