LONDON, Dec. C—The Racing Calendar
today announces that L ster Reiff. the
f American jockey, has b.-c-n exone.ated
of the charge of pulling Mr. Richard
Croker's horse, The Scotchman 11., at
Doneaster. Tod Sloan, it is added, has
been informed that he need not apply for
a license for next season.
"After hav.ng examined witnesses. j
Which included the habitual backers of 1
American jockeys,their banking accounts j
and betting books, which they desired to |
inspect and which were entirely placed '
tit the stewards' disposal, the stewards I
further declare there is no reason to sup- !
pose Reiff tttd or recti-, unauthor- !
ised purs e s." I
The following Is the text of the racing i
calendar: "It hav.ng been reported to
the stewards of tne jockey club that
Sloan had accepted an offer of a large,
present from Mr. F. Gardiner in the
event of the Codoman winning the Cam
bridgesnire, and that he bet en the race,
they inquired into the case, Mr. Gard
ner, who was not aware of the regula- |
tion forbidding such presents, expressed j
5 great regret at having transgressed, and
" the stewards, fully accepting his expla
nation, fined him & gomir.al penalty of
£25. They, inflicted a similar hue on" Mr.
C. A. Mills, who acted as commissioner
i'or Mr. Gardiner.
"Finding both charges proved against
Sloan, they again informed him that he
need not apply for a license to ride.
•'Tha stewards inquired into the running
of Gerolstein and Scotchman 11. at Liv
erpool. A number of witnesses, includ
ing both keys, were examined. Th«
inquiry was extended to other horses rid
den by L. Reiff. The stewards decided i
that no suspicion whatever attich.d to |
Rlckaby, and they also completely ex.n- ,
crated L. Reiff from blame.
"The stewards further derided that no
blame attached to the owner or the j
trainer of the Scotchman 11. A number •
of vague rumors inquired into were prov- \
ed, to be unfounded.
"The Liverpool stewards are commend
ed for having referred the case."
It appears that Sloan's arrangements
with the Prince of Wales came about i
through. P. G. Gardiner, but that; the !
friends of the prince In the key club,
having a foreboding of trouble, saved
him from the humiliation of engaging a
disqualified jockey.
The concensus of sporting opinion in
London this evening is that Sloan has to
thai the clique of undesirable persons
whomh. allowed himself to ba identifi.d
. v.-ith in England.
Cudamon, it will be remembered, was
the French horse upon which Sloan won
an important race in France, and the an- i
Imal was brought to England to run in j
the Cambridgeshire. |
Sloan's faith in Cudamcn's ability r:- j
iulted In the formation of one rf the larg- j
est pools of the season. Mr. Gardi.ier !
was only one cf many large supporters
of Sloan'?, mounts. It is estimated that
something like £:o.€oo went down when
the Irish horse Beryl cantered home. i
The Sportsman will say tomorrow:
"Lester Reiff, may ba said in the fullest
sense of th.-» word, to have left the court
■with a stain upon his character. There
are few of us who will not be thorough
ly delighted with this result, for he ha.
--made himself immensely popular here by
his uniformly modest and unassuming
conduct and he will doubtless be a great
er favorite than ever next season.
"While we ate sorry to appear inclined
to exult over a man who is down, we
cannot help saying that the curt intima
tion to Sloan gives almost as much sat
isfaction as the triumphant acquittal of j
Reiff. Nobody denies that Sloan is a i
very fine horseman, but little else can (
be- said in his favor. H s manners are '
far from admirable and he aopears to I
regard himself as the equal, if not the •
superior; of his employers. He ought I
never to have been adowed to ride after \
his disgraceful conduct at Ascot in 15.9." !
The decision of the jockey club was al- <
most the only subject of conversation at ;
the Buffet. Victoria and other sporting i
resorts this Ding. The adverse de- i
cision in the case of Ted Sloan me as a i
total surprise to the racing world, a. it ;
did'his closest followers.
- So little doubt had Sloan himself of his j
ability to race here next year that he let i
nearly all hi* personal possessions in ;
London:
Mr. t'roker's friends are much pleased I
at his exoneration, as well as that of ;
Wishard and Lester Reiff, and the de- I
cision was wired to him at Carlsbad.

Sloan, speaking of the action of the Eng
lish Jockey club in his case, said this
evening:
"I am surprised. I cannot believe \ this
to be a fact. i have received no notifica
tion from the Jockey club or the stew
ards to this effect. I have done nothing
wrong. I was given no intimation that
charges of any sort were pending against
me, or that they were under investiga
tion.. - . ' .
7 "I should at least have been given a
hearing, as Messrs. Gardiner and Mills
were, before any summary action was
taken by the stewards. I have a clean
defense, and shall give it to the stew
ards of the jockey club at any rate.
"Of course it is not proper for: me to
take cognizance of the matter or action
regarding it until the.official notification
reaches me. My statement will then be
ready for the stewards. This will make
no difference in my plans, however. I
will leave for California, as I have al
ready arranged."

George Siler to referee. It is asserted
that a side bet of $1,000 was posted on
the result.
Pons came here unaware that the orig
inal agreement for the match had S been
canceled, but was so anxious to get on -
with the local wrestler that he sent an
emissary to-look up Rooney and talk
over the match. Pons, who speaks no
English, is a powerfully built man, near
ly six feet six inches in height, and
weighs 290 pounds. His manager will
choose training quarters today, . while
Rooney will do his preparatory work at
a South side athletic club.
The picture of• Pons here presented
shows the first position of the French
in attack. The arm is extended stiff
and rigid to its full length, with the
fingers of the right hand moving rapidly
with the movements of the arm, the
purpose being to secure a neck or back
hold. In the American style, made pop
ular by Muldoon. the body is extended
well forward from the waist up, with
both arms moving loosely and easily in
front to secure a hold, the whole figure
suggesting shiftiness, in contrast to the
rather stiff and rigid posture of the
Frenchman. *
SHORTSTOP BILUARDISTS.
Selunitt and Preaty Won Yesterday's
Games at Saw York.
NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—Of all the play
ers who so. far have taken part in the
qualifying games in the class B series,
amateur billiard championship tourna
ment, Charles G. Schmitt, of Chicago,
is the first to qualify for the finals. On
the opening night Schmitt beat Mannes,
of New York, and tonight defeated To
bias, also of this city, who 5 wen from.
Marines yesterday. These. three players
constitute the first group and by beating
the other two, Schmitt earned the right
to go. into the finals. Since his advent.
in New York, Schmitt has become very
popular among billiardists, and his suc
cess today was applauded. Score of to
day's game:
Charles G. Schmitt, Chicago, total, 300;
average, 4 21-69; high runs, 29, 20, 15, 15.
Florian Tobias. New York, total, . -17;
average, 3 43-GS; high runs, S3, 19. 15, 15.
Samuel G. Estabrook. of this city, was
forced out of the tournament this after
noon by his being defeated-by Edwin O.
Presby, another New Yorker, who scored
300 "to Estabrook's 220. Frank Billeter,
of Minneapolis, defeated Estabrook-on
Tuesday evening so that the two de
feats :r_ze Estabrook out. The game
was a lengthy one, runs coming slowly.
The winner, Presby, is a wide open play
er, but it took him 72 minutes to score
the necessary 300 points. His open table
work was excellent and at times his play
for position was perfect. Following is
the afternoon score:
E. O. Presby, of New York, total. 300;
highest runs, 39, 26, 19, IS: average, 4 12-72.
Samuel G. Estabrook, New York, total.
210; highest runs. 24, 14, 13, 13; average,
2 68-71.
The qualifying series of "class B"
games wil end tomorrow evening, and
the finals will begin on Saturday-after
noon. In arranging the schedules in the
final games, the committee has decided
to first play those contestants against
each other who come from the same
city, the object of this arrangement of
games being to avoid the possibility of
the charge of favortism between players
from the same city, in case the lovers of
the game might possibly benet the
chances of another contestant. While it
is impossible at the present time to make
any definite schedule relating to the
games that may be played on Saturday
afternoon and evening it seems quite
probable that the Saturday-evening game
will be between Messrs. Kellogg and
Schmitt, of Chicago and that the two
Boston repersentatives will mett in the
afternoon.

SHIP SUBSIDY AMENDMENTS.
The senate committee on .commerce
held its first meeting of the session to
aay he meeting was devoted mainly
to the consideration of the ship sub-
S I hUL and to the amendments suggest
f_\,? I™lll Vr?e- The most impor
tant of these amendments was one pro
viding that all ships shall fake. 50 per
cent of their cargo capacity when - leav
ing a port- of the United*. States for a
roreign .port. - in presenting this modifi
cation of the bill, Mr. F? ye safd that
the enect of its incorporation' in the bill
would be to increase the amount of cargo
-which- must be taken, but that it would
so distribute it among the varans ships
that there would be no inequality or in
justice. -
The amendment requiring vessels clear
ing for foreign ports to carry cargo
amounting to 50 per.cent of their carry
ing capacity was adopted by the -"com
mittee. It now reads as follows:
"No vessel shall.be entitled to full
compensation unless she shall have
cleared from a port of the United States
with cargo to the amount of 50 per cent
of her capacity . for carrying commercial
C3.rg"o. •
Another amendment relates to the
division of the annual award of $9,000,000
between ships on the Atlantic ocean and
those on the Pacific. As originally pro
vided 70 per cent of the amount was to
be expended upon the Atlantic and SO
per cent on the Pacific with an addition
al provision that in case the entire 30
per. cent should not be utilized on the
Pacific it might be diverted to the At
lan tic. There was no reciprocal pro
cal provision in the interest of the Pa
cific ships. That -is provided by today*
action the language of the provision be.
ing as follows: In case the said Atlantic
ocean trade shall not require the whole
amount of the said 70 per cent and the
said Pacific ocean tirade shall require
in respect of the vessels engaged in said
Pacific ocean trade, the expenditure of
more than the said SO per cent of said
$9,000,000 any such year, there may be
expended, pursuant to the provisions of
this act any sum within the said $9,090,
--000 remaining and not earned, as - afore
said, in respect of the vessels in the At
lantic ocean."
The section relating to the granting of
American registry to foreign-built ships
was amended so as to further guard
against fraud by showing from records,
already on file in the treasury depart
ment exactly what vessels of that
description are to be admitted to Ameri
can registry under the bill and thus avoid
all dispute as to- the total volume of the
tonnage. It is claimed that the result
of the amendment is to require that a
foreign-built steamship described in
clause B, of section 9, should have been
actually contracted for and the contracts
filed with the secretary cf the treasury
on or before the first day of February,
ISS9, and that such contracts should have
resulted in the actual construction of the
vessel or in her having been under con
struction in accordance with the contract
or before the first day of January, 1900,
in order to come within the act's pro
vision.
An amendment to section 10 requires
that all fittings and machinery forming a
part of the construction of vessels built
in the United States under provisions of
this act shall he of American- manu
facture, provided they can be obtained
in this country.

; ELDORADO, Kan.. Dec. 6.—Testimony
in favor of Jessie Morrison was taKen
today, the prosecution finishing. its side
of j the case soon- after the opening of the
court this j morning . and the defense ex- .
amining several of its witnesses in:".their,
efforts to prove j their - assertion. 7 of self
defense. ■-. ; •_.*.;■ 7 '-777--
The» prisoner showed signs of physical
and. mental \ collapse,'_ and* it . W£S only
with great effort that she was enabled
to remain in the court room during the
day. Her fainting spell last night, fol
lowed by a fit of crying, bad left § her
in- a weakened-condition, and fear was
expressed[ that the prisoner would not
hold out until the close of the trial and
that a continuance would have -to be
asked. -7 7
- The defense succeeded! in contradicting
some of the prosecution's evidence. The
record of the. preliminary trial was
brought in to quote the testimony of Mrs.
Spangler, who first said she had not
seen anything in Miss Morrison's hand
on the day of the tragedy and who,. dur
ing the present trial testified that she
had seen something resembling a knife in
the prisoner's hand. It was also shown
that the - Rev. Dr. Wharton, who was
pastor to both Mrs. Castle and Miss Mor
rison, had. :_-. in conversation, said that
the only thing the defense could do would
be to plead insanity for Miss Morrison.
On the stand yesterday Rev. Wharton
testified that he had never talked to
any one regarding an insanity, plea. -
PROSECUTION CLOSES.
-.In the trial of Jessie Morrison, charged
with killing Mrs. Olin Castle, who mar
ried the prisoner's former sweetheart,
the prosecution today closed Its case with
the p testimony of Dr. Fullinwidor, on.
of the physicians who attended Mrs.
Castle. He repeated the testimony con
cerning the manner in. which the dying
statement was made. Then Prosecutor
Brumback read to the jury the dying
declaration, as abridged by the court.
The jury followed him closely. It was
then announced by * the defense that an
effort will be made to prove that Mrs.
Castle | called Jessie Morrison into her
house and began a quarrel.
Mrs. Emma Grover, who made the of
ficial record of the preliminary hearing,
was the first witness for the defense.
She identified the record of Mrs. Emma
Spangler's testimony, which was to the
effect that she had seen nothing in Miss
Morrison's hand at the Castle home.
Mrs. Spangler testified in the present
trial that I she thought. Miss Morrison
held a blade of some sort.-
At the afternoon session Miss Emma
Weber was I asked : about a visit Miss
Morrison . paid. to her about a week be
fore the murder.- This testimony war to
have been concerning a conversation be
tween, defendant and Miss Webber
about Clara Wiley, but it was objected
to by the state and the objection was
sustained.
TALE OF JEALOUSY.
* Mrs. Henry Pugh told of a conversa
tion that had taken place between her
self and Miss Wiley before the latter'a
marriage to * Olin Castle, regarding a
' story that Castle bad given Miss Mor
rison a mirror. Mrs. Castle declared,
said the witness, "that she did not be
lieve the story.. but said she would see
about it and if Olin had done it she
would have nothing more to do with
him."
"Was anything said about a letter Jes.
sic Morrison had written to Olin Castle ?"
"Yes, she said that Jessie wrote a let
ter to Olin and that it contained a dirty
black scheme and.that Jessie asked Olin
to participate in it."
Cross-examined, Mrs. Pugh said that
Clara Wiley had never exhibited anger,
in her conversation about Jessie Mor
rison.
Dr. H. S. Miller, asked Whether or not
he had had a conversation with the Rev.
Dr. Wharton in regard to a plea of in
sanity for Jessie Morrison, said: "Dr.
Wharton said that the only plea that
Miss Morrison could.make was the plea
of insanity."
Dr. Wharton, on the stand yesterday.
denied haying-asked any one regarding
a plea of insanity." .
Anna Davis and Dr. J. TV. McKenzie,
who saw Miss Jessie Morrison'just be
fore the .tragedy, testified that they ob
served nothing unusual in her manner,
and saw nothing in her hands.
Mrs. Mary E. Hellers, a sister of the
defendant, testified that in the summer,
and fall of 1599 Miss Morrison lived with
her. She said Olin Castle called on
Jessie, at least once a week and some
weeks three times. He took her riding
often. -
ON THE FATAL DAY.
Mrs. M. H. Morrison, stepmother of j
the defendant, said that on the morning j
of June 22 Mis. Morrison prepared break- !
fast and performed other usual house
hold duties. Jessie said when she went j
away that she was going - to- Davis' i
house to see about a dress collar. "I'll |
not be gone long," said Jessie, "but will !
be back in time to make the starch for j
the clothes." She testified to next see- i
ing Jessie in the room where she threw j
hrseif after she was taken home by Mrs. j
angler. -
"She was bleeding at the neck," said ;
Dr. J. S. Cline testified to dressing -
wounds of Jessie Morrison. He said: j
"There were two incised wounds about.
the neck. They began on the left side
and passed, around to the right. They
were quite deep across the muscle under
the left ear."
There were three wounds on her left
arm and one on her left breast.
Judge Morrison, father of the defend
ant, gave the most important! testimony
for. her during the day. He said. that he
saw his daughter at home shortly after
the assault. : ■ ■ '
"Oh, papa—oh, papa, why did she call
me in," he testified were her first words
when she saw him. "I fear I have killed
her." H
'-Did she say- 'murdered her?' " was
asked.
."No.'.'
While he was testifying. Judge Morri
son, sixty-five years old, cried freely. The ;
defendant and her . sisters also cried. :
Judge Morrison was the last witness of. .
the day.-.

A cotton-mill worker tells of some pretty' expensive
misery. "I am thirty-five years of age," he' says, "and
have been bothered with indigestion and. dyspepsia about
five years. Have had several doctors, but none of them
ever helped: me any. I spent several . hundred dollars for
doctors and medicines, but-instead of getting better I go
worse. : Finally I heard of Ripans Tabules, and decided to
try them.. After I had used them two weeks - I commenced
to get better. In three months I was like a new man. I
believe Ripans. are the only sure cure for dyspepsia.
