SCANDAL GROWING HOT Veterinarian Swears He Gave Belladonna to Mare Before Race for Cup. BILLINGS QUITS BOARD. ‘Owner of Trotter Resigns from Body That Will Investigate Memphis Race. Murray Howe, Seoretary of the Memphis Racing Association, who has Drought charges of doping Lou Dillon a@t the Gold Cup meet against E. E. Smathers, boiled over with indignation to-day when he read the San Francisco Gespatch in which he was accused by a ‘Wterinary surgeon with having ordered the mare drugged at the great cham- plonship race in which she was defeated by Emathers’s Major Delmer. This accusation !s contained in an @Mdavit sworn to by A. H. Fehr, who Geciares that he was the oficial veter- inary surgeon for the Memphis Racing Association at the time Lou Dillon was defeated, and that Mr. Howe had or- dered that the mare be treated for the thumps by being dosed with belladonna. Febr swore that he administered the dose at Mr. Howe's direction. ‘That's a le from start to finish,” oried Secretary Howe after reading the veterinary’s afMdavit “Why, I don't even recall the existence of any such man. The official veterinary surgeon for our association was Dr. Louis Schelb- Jer. Mr. Billings's veterinary was Dr. Tanner, of Cleveland. Where this man Fehr dropped from I have not the faint- est inkling. His stetement is so ab- surdly false that it passes beilef that he couid have made it.

I did not even go near Lou Dillon, After the first heat was run in the championship race the judges or- dvred LouDitton before them and asked Dr. Scheibley if’ there was anything the matter with her. He said that she had the thumps, which !s a contraction of + the diaphragm due to excitement. “The judges asked if it would harm the mare to run in another heat.

This is the astonishing aMdavit of Veterinary Fehr which has further com- plicated the already intricate racing scandal: ‘ater the first heat between Major Delmar and Lou Dillon was trotted I ‘was surmmoned by Murray Howe in & @reet hurry, Mr. Howe seemed excited, nd the first thing he said to me was that Lou Dillon hed an attack of the ‘thufnps,’ or what we technically term fession spasmodic contraction ragm. to the stall where the mare teken immediately after the was closely guarded by a + and Murray Howe, who the personal representa- Billings, directed me to re for the thumps, I exam- und nothing wrong with the than some nervousness such would show after coming race. lonna Was Given. insisted that the mare ted for the thumps, and of commonly known that drug used in such common knowledge will deaden any Kill speed.

Then there unfolded itself from the lint and cotton and from the more coherent Iips of a policeman a story of horse interest. For many years Joseph Brooks has becn a stableman, devoting his attention to every sort of equine breed in the stables at One Hundred and Fifty-sec- ond street and McComb's Dam road. Recently he has had twelve boarders of quality. running the gamut of aristoc- racy from Nick, the big black Percheron, to Irene, the lap-eared mule. | Friends of his youth crossed Mr. Brooks's path last night and the oc- casion became a convivial one. When at midnight he found his homewant path the surface of the land rose and | fell in uncertain billows, gulding lamp- | posts danced wild figures about him, the stars dipped down and twinkled at his ears. But the instinct that directs the ‘foot of those that stray safely over pitfalls and along the brink of precipices was a kind pilot to Brooks. | No Company for Nick. He reached his stable and found the padlock on the door. In a moment he was wavering along the narrow, dimly lighted alsle betwéen the rows of stalls, seeking the Indder to his loft above. The boarders were curled upon thelr beds of straw dreaming of oceans of oats and incidental equine delights.
