enacted. there usually Is a heavy man
who "dopes" the fayorites for fnan-
ciai gain or spite. but not so often do
such cases come to light on real race
tracks Just now Capt. Raj Parr is
searching for the person who put his
horse. Esauimau. out of commission.
Early yesterday II was discovered
by his trainer. Billy Garth. that some
one had entered the stall OF this
promising three-year-old at Laurel
and poured some sort of Mastering
liquid upon the left legs OF the
Jumper, thereby rendering sin useless
as q racer for several weeks at least.
and perhaps for the remainder OF the
season-
But Il is not merely the loss of
EsQuimau's services or the probable
loss Of a few purses that has aroused
the ire of Captain Parr. He considers
that such trek. played upon a dumb
animal, Is just about the meanest that
any one could conceive. Garth thought
In stronger terms, in all probability

trick.
Esquimau must have been In pain.
for he made so much noise thst he
aroused the stable hands.
There was a night watchman, an
employe of the stable. on the ground"
said Captain Parr, but he reported
that he had seen no one. The horse
made such q disturbance that men
were attracted to the stall, and IL was
found that the blistering liquid had
been poured between the bandages
and the skin on the left legs.
@Esquimau had been out only once

he was regarded as a good one Per
haps some one desired to stop him

may have been spite that prompted

Il had couple OF races in mind for
Esquimau. but do not believe he will

TON TO CONSIDER SETTLERS
BILL-sINNoTT PRESENT
Sec INTERIOR GIVEN POWER
Discharged Soldiers to Be Used in
Conversion of Lands Which VIII
Mean Much TO ex-Doughboys

Washington, May 16.-Tentative
approval of a soldier settlers bill,
appropriating money to reclaim
lands for homes for returning sol
diers was given at conference CALI
ed by Secretary Lane and attended
by Representative Sinnott. chairman
OF the house public land committee,
Mondell, house majority leader and
Kincaid, chairman OF the house irri-
cation committee, Senators Smoot
and Myers and A. P. Davis. director
of the reclamation service.
The bill, which was drafted by
Representative Mondell, combines
features of numerous bills for this
purpose introduced in the last con-
gress. Secretary Lane, by the terms
of the bill, is authorized to use the
public lands and to secure other
lands by agreement The price paid
for private lands to be approved by
the governor of the state where they
are situated and by an appraiser for
the farm loan board.
! The reclamation Of the lands and
all preparation for cultivation is left
to the secretary of the interior. dis
charged soldiers to be utilized as
much as possible in the conversion
of the land Improvements not to
exceed $4,000 may be provided on
each tract of land and loan not to
exceed $500 is to be made available
for each settler for the purchase of
livestock, this amount to represent
not more than 60 per cent of the
value of livestock purchased.
The land is to be sold on pay
ment of 5 per cent cash and the ball
ance amortized over period not ex-
ceeding 40 years. On improvements
cash payment of 10 per cent is re-
quired, the balance in payments COW
ering not more than 20 years. An
other feature of the bill is provi-
sion to match funds with the states
on reclamation projects, which is of
particular interest to Oregon because
of the measure to be voted on in the
state in June which will make s2.-
100000 available fof joint projects.
All deferred payments draw 4 per
cent interest.
