GOLDCUPCASEINCOURT Evidence Relative to Alleged Drugging of Lou Dillon. Smathers' Former Employee Swore That He Asked 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 tion 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 award ed tbe 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. AV. 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 Dillon- to 'have 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 sand Millard Sanders, the trainer of Lou Dillon. Sanders went into in timate history of the wonderful race mare, detailing her performances one by one, outlined the daily 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 Major 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. ' Atlantic Baseball League. Newark, N. J., April 2.

DAY, BLAMES THE PRESIDENT. SyracuM University Chancellor Finds Cure For Financial Unrest. ' New York, April 2. "It Is President Roosevelt himself who has brought the country to the very brink of finan cial peril," says Chancellor James R. Day of Syracuse university in Les lie's Weekly. Chancellor Day says it would be a good thing If congress repealed haft the laws on the books, Including the Sherman act, and made no new laws for 20 yeHTs. "We are overloaded," he says, "un til about every form of business In the country is outlawed. We have so many laws and so many sniffing com missions, so many special and assist ant prosecuting attorneys barking on the scent, that the business man of to day cannot tell from one day to an other whose law he is violating. "If President Roosevelt wants my suggestion for a remedy of evils I would say to him: 'Calm down. Study Washington's farewell address as a caution against the misuse of the Con stitution; study Lincoln's mighty faith and superb patience and bis charity for all; study McKlnley's philosophi cal, practical, sound sense, and give the people rest. The evils that are will be corrected by the force of public sentiment acting sanely and calmly, and the evils that are not will vanish away into regions whence come all disturbing ghosts." For a remedy for the present agita tion Chancellor Day suggests that the president talk about how canned goods have benefited" the people, how kerosene has come down from $1 to 10 cents a gallon, how the trusts are adding to human comfort and happi ness by their by-products and how much good the railroads are doing by developing the states. CAPTAIN MACKLIN'S TESTIMONY. Does Not Think Negroes Were Guilty In the Brownsville Affair. Washington, April 2. The testi mony of Captain Edgar A. Macklln of Company C. 25th Infantry, was taken by the senate committee on military affairs in the Brownsville Investiga tion. It proved .interesting, particul arly for the reason that Macklln Is to be tried by court martial after his re turn to Texas and for the further rea son that he was shot by an unidenti fied masked negro at Fort Reno after the negro soldiers were taken away from Fort Brown. Although there is no evidence tend ing to show that the Brownsville af fray was responsible for the attack upon him, many- persons have ex pressed the opinion that the two inci dents are connected, particularly r.s he was the first of the white officers to produce damaging evidence against the former soldiers. He does not now believe the ne groes were guilty of "shooting up" Brownsville, according to bis stoiy told on the stand. Bill to Stop Work on Barge Canal. Albany, April 2.
