ers The Thaw Lunacy Commission.
Child Murderer Sent to Asylum.
Many Killed In Southern Pacific
Wreck Recount Bill Passed.
Secretary Taft has accepted the
challenge recently issued by Sena
tor Foraker to submit the question of
which shall receive the support of the
Ohio Republicans fir the presidency
and the sonatorsblp to a state pri
mary, with the understanding that
the defeated candidate shall retire
from the contest. The reply to Sena
tor Foraker's challenge is In the form
of a signed statement, on behalf of
the secretary, given out by Secretary
Taft's brother, Charles P. Taft, pro
prietor and editor of the Cincinnati
Times-Star, which says:
"Senator Foraker's 'statement Indi
cates that he Is running for the presi
dency, aiTa for the senatorship. The
frlcncis of Secretary Taft are urging
him lor .the presidency. As the senator
has. included the two offices in this
primary contest, Secretary Taft's
friends accept the proposition and
will make It a distinct contest; Taft
for the presidency or Benatorship, or
Foraker for the presidency or senator
ship. . "Jf the ' Republicans of Ohio by
their votes at the primaries Indicate
,that they prefer Foraker for the pres
idency or senatorship, Secretary Taft
is eliminated from the situation.
"If the people of Ohio indicate Sec
retary Taft for the presidency or sen
atorship, Senator Foraker is elimin
ated from the .political situation in
Ohio.
"This is a direct contest between
the friends of the administration of
President Roosevelt and the oppon
ents. We are willing to submit it to
the Republican voters of Ohio and
the sooner the better."

The Pennsylvania Railroad com
pany, through General Manager Atter

Death of Galusha A. Grow.
Former Congressman Galusha A.
Grow died at his home in Glenwood,
Susquehanna county, Pa., Sunday aft
ernoon as a result of a general break
down attributed to old age.
Mr. Grow was elected to congress

from public life for nearly 40 years
he re-entered the house of representa-
tlves as congressman-at-large from
Pennsylvania 14 years ago. When he
retired four years ago his public ser-
vice In the house extended over the
longest period of any man who ever
Bat in that body.
Mr. Grow was elected speaker of the
house of representatives in 1801 and
occupied that position during the first
two rears of the war, until his retire-'
ment "m congress in 1863.

During the past few days the comp
troller's office has been in receipt of

GOLDCUPCASEINCOURT
Evidence Relative to Alleged
Drugging of Lou Dillon.
Smatherg" Former Employee Swore
That He Atked Him to Arrange
With Trainer of Lou Dillon to Have
the Mare Beaten How Lou Dillon
Went to Pieces.
New York, April 2. To recover
from Elmer E. Smathers the famous
gold cup won by his horse Major Del
mar In a race with the trotting mare
Lou Dillon at Memphis on Oct. 18,
1904, the Memphis Trotting associa-
tlon as plaintiff began to lay before
Justice Greenbaum and a Jury in the
supreme court evidence relative to the
alleged drugging of the mare and the
alleged conspiracy planned by Mr.
Smathers.
The board of review of the National
Trotting association took the matter
up last year and in December aw;trd
ed the cup to Mr. . Smathers. The
Memphis association now contends
that the board of review acted irreg
ularly and the entire matter Is to be
threshed out In court.
No event of the turf in recent years
has caused the sensation which the
charges brought by C. K. G. Billings
the owner of Lou Dillon, against Mr.
Smathers, stirred up. Involving as it
does two of the most renowned trot
ters on American tracks and the most
prominent owners of racing stables
the case has been followed with the
keenest Interest. But now for the
first time It has reached the stage of
a public hearing.
George. W. Spear, employed by Mr.
Smathers for more than five years as
a trainer, took the stand at the open
Ing of the' trial and testified that at
Lexington, just prior to the Memphis
meeting, Mr. Smathers asked him to
arrange with the trainer of Lou Dil
lon to tiave the mare beaten. He de
clared that he received word from the
trainer's brother that it would cost
$10,000. He reported this fact to Mr.
Smathers, who declared the price was
preposterous and that he would give
but $5,000. That was as far as Spear
went with the negotiations.
The attorneys representing the
Memphis association next called to
the stand Millard Sanders, the trainer
of Lou Dillon. SandeTs went into in
timate history of the wonderful race
mare, detailing her performances one
by one, outlined the dally routine of
the life of this aristocrat of the turf,
even to the quantity and character of
her food, and .gave the record of all
her trials from the time he took her as
a 4-year-old in 1902 and began to de.
velop what he termed a wonderful
racing machine.
Sanders had carried his narrative
of the life of Lou Dillon down to a few
days before the famous race of 1904,
which it is alleged she lost because
drugs were given her, -when adjourn
ment was taken.
The 'gold cup was offered by the
Memphis association to be contested
for by amateur drivers in wagons.
The cup was to become the property
of the owner or club which won It
two years in succession. Mr. Smath
ers, representing the New York Driv
ing club, won the race in 1902 with
Lord Derby. In 1903 M.ajor Delmar,
driven by Mr. Smathers, and Lou Dil
lon, driven by Mr. Billings, the latter
representing the Memphis Driving
club, met for the first time. Lou Dil
lon won In two straight heats, never
being fully extended, her trainer de
clared, reeling off both mile heats In
the same time, 2:04.
The same horses were to meet
again In 1904. Lou Dillon, It was tes
tified, was never better in her life
than Just previous to the race of Oct.
18. She had worked out nicely before
the first heat and when the two horses
were sent away together they went to
the half-mile post In almost record
time. Then Lou Dillon suddenly
stopped almost to a walk, allowing
Major Delmar to go on and win in
2:07, while she finished the mile In no
better than 2:18. The mare was found
to be unfit to continue the race and
was reported by a veterinarian to
have been drugged. Mr. Billings
drove another horse In the second
heat to allow Mr. Smathers to take
the race with Major Delmar.

JILTED BECAUSE HE WAS POOF
Disappointed In Youth, He Turns M
ar and Dies With Hi Wealth In
Squalid Surroundings.
Philadelphia, April 2. Under f
money blight, poor old. Matthea Har
ford, forgotten of men, Btarved hit
self to death in a bare room on ti
top floor of 223 Spruce street, whe
he had lived alone for 14 years. '
For weeks the man had been sic
and without attention. He dared n
admit a single person on account
his hoard. So he breathed his la;'
Thursday night with his stacks
coin about him, and it was not unt
Friday evening that his death we
known.
After all his stinting and self-denlt
the miser, then In his 73d year, diet
leaving all the gold and bonds an
bank bills behind him. He took wit
him the precious memory of a rc
mance of his youth, when the belle o
the old yellow mansion, the Llppln
colt house at Broad and Walnu
streets, Miss Anna Maria Dundas Lip
pincott. smiled at him out of the win
Hoy and, It is said, secretly favorer
him with her regard.
Hanford said he was sure he hac
lost the maid he fancied for only one
reason because he was not rich. H(
dwelt so much upon this thought that
It became almost a mania with him.
At last he cjfmienced living a life
apart a strange existence devoted to
one subject, and only one, to hoard.
From that day to the day of his
death Hanford was a miser."
When the coroner entered the
rooms of the miser he found scores
and scoips of stock certificates and.
hunk bills, t is estimated that the!
Hto::k may run up to $200,000. ;
