NATIONAL BASE BALL MEN.
Reported Resignation Of Chairman Of
Commission Caused q Stir.

CINCINNATI. Ohio. January ia SEN
sation was caused today by the announce
ment that August Hermann. president of
the Cincinnati club. will resign as chairman
OF the national base ball commission All
the base ball men now here are trying to
prevail on Mr. Hermann to reconsider his
determine ton to resign.
Mr.. Hermann has announced, however.
that he Is through with the national COM
mission and will not change his decision.
The minor league men are particularly anx-
ious for Mr.. Hermann not to resign. but IL
he insists they say they want John T.
Brush. president of the New York National
League team, to succeed him.
1t is regarded as scarcely likely that Mr..
Brush will accept the position. An effort
will also be made to have minor league rep
resentation on the commission. In which
event either George Tebeau or Howard
Griffiths and one more minor league man,
possibly Pat Powers. may be admitted to
the commission.

senator said he would like to have 1t go In
because garbled accounts of this speech
had been used In the campaign.
The defense closed its examination of the
witness with statement from him that he
did not know OF any polygamous marriages
among Mormons since the manifesto.
The Witness Cross-Examined.
Mr.. Tayler. attorney for the protestan-s.
drew from the witness that he lived a dis
lance from the Mormon settlement equal in
time from this city to Omaha, Neb. On
cross-exa mination the witness corrected his
statement in regard to the "poker-playing
Gentiles,' saying that 1t was confined to
the members of fhe legislature and not TO
the people. In response to questions me
witness said thai except for the matter CT
geogra ply and knowledge or legiSiatiSe
needs. he would be willing that the whole
legisla ture should be composed of Nor
mons.
In defense of the Mormons Mr.. McCon-
nell said he considered the man who took
plural wife and cared for her and her chill
dren far better than one who sustained IL
licit relations with a woman and abandoned
her and her children to the scorn OF the
world.
Mr. Tayer questioned the witness close
ly in regard to the political distinction he
drew. but he declared that polygamists
were not allowed to hold office.
DO ,'cu know William Budge?' Mr.. Tay-
Ter asked
Yes sir
rs he a poygamist?'
The Witness said he was satisfied that Mr..
Bulge was a polygamist and admitted that
Budgc had held office. and as governor OF
Idaho Mr.. Mcconnell said. he had ap-
pointed Mr.. Badge a regent OF the state
university.
The Mormon Plank.
At the request OF Senator Dubois. the wit
ness read he Norman plank in the ldaho
democratic platform. He was asked IL that
plank had not been responsible for the loss
of every, Mormon vote but the witness as
serted the influence of this plank had not
been as potent as the statement of Senator
Dubois that "aiI Mormons were criminals
When questioned further on this sub)ec.
he admitted he had heard the threat or
Mormons'' that IL the plank were adopted
there would not be a Mormon vote cast Tor
the democratic ticket.

FIFER'S RESIGNATION
POINTS TO NEW BODY
lntimated That His Leaving Commerce Commission Is
Sign of Presidents Willingness to Get Men Less
Radical Toward Railroads.

The retirement of former Governor Joe
Fifer. of Illinois, from the Interstate
Commerce Commission is considered to
have a much larger significance than
appears on the surface.
One of the large objections the rail-
roads have urged against rate legisla-
ton is based on the claim that the pres
ent commission is unfriendly TO them.
They allege that they would not so
greatly fear giving the rate-making
power to a commission less radical than
the present one
1t has been known for a long time that
the President would like to reorganize
the commission. He began when he
dropped Judge j. d. Yeomans and named
Senator Cockrell in his place If any of
the measures had passed last winter
which were proposed in Congress. look
ing to a retirement of the present COM
mission IL was understood that the
President intended to make over the en-
tire organization and put in men who
suited his purposes better.
Mr.. Roosevelt Lenient.
In short. the impression is that the
President would have been willing to
grant the railroads a less radical COM
mission If ne could have secured a more
radical law.
In anticipation of the coming contest
in Congress, IL is now supposed, the
commission is to be so far reorganized
