WANT MEN IN UNIFORM, Presldent's Defense of Army and Na- vy Men Bears Fruit. WASHINGTON, Dec. &—President Roosevelt's expression recently of hls vigorous views agalust the discrimina- tion shown by the managers of some ment against the uniform of the Unit- ed States army and navy, particularly the latter and against the men who wear that upiform, already is bearing substantial fruit. The president himself contributed to a fund raised for the prosecution of a suit agninst amusement managers who batred men of the uavy from thelr places becunse they appeared iu thelr uniforms, and it is the known desire of the president that the suit should be pressed tv a definite jssue. That members of the theatrical fo fession do not sympathize with the at: titude of some smusement managers on this subject is evidenced by the fol- lowing letter received by Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte from 8.

When the clitrges were made suit was brougyt by the Memphis as- sociation, Lut It was stopped by in- Junction. The present hearing was for the purpose of determining the facts. Some of the testimony was sensa- tional. One aflidavit read was made by Ed Saunders, who originally made the charges against Smathers. Saund. es in his earlier affidavit had sworn that Bmathers had pald him $5000 to Inject eight ounces of drug into Lou Dillon's body so ax to stop her in the race, In the affidavit read from Saund- ers he said that he was pald to make the charges against Emathers and that they were absolutely without founda- tion, George W.

Edward Saunders, the affidavit slates, was for- merly Mr. Strenbers betting commfs- sioner, and the witness knew Le would tell him the truth, Saunders, sald Mr. Streuber, told him that he had made these charges against Smathers for 8 mouey consid eration. He had beeu approached, he said, by George Spears, Smathers’ for wer trainer, apd then was placed In communication with Murray Howe. secretary of the Memphis Trotting as sociation. He wet the latter in Chi cago and received $5.00 for making an affidavit that Lou Dillon had been “doped” before the cup race Later Streuber sald Saunders wrote blm that he regretted] he bad sald auy- thing to hurt Smathers aud that he bad made a second afidavit to clear Major Delmar’'s owner, . At the conclusion of the hearing Jobu S. Wise, counsel for Smathers, made a bitter arraignment of the men who preferred the charges against his client, mentioning particularly C. K G. Billings, owner of Leu Dillon. and Murruy Howe, secretary of the Mem phis Trotting association. “It Is the same Billings who dined on horseback at Sherry's amid cherry Liossoms aud lala las,” sald Mr. Wise, “who lustigated the Infamous charges against Mr. Smathers, a man of unim- peachable jutegrity a5 a horseman. It Is & coward's prosecution.” Edward Saunders and his brother Mallard, with George Spears, Mr. Wise sajd, ouglit to Le kicked out of the trot: ting association, He closed thus: “I feel that we have suffered long and patiently aud bitterly.
