neglect of duty and violation of the police
regulations, preferred against him by

cites that he knowingly failed to report

other policeman in question. whom they
suspected of turning in false fire alarms.

NATIONAL LEAGUE DIRECTORS.
New York Meeting Today Attended
by Many Base Ball Men.

| NEW YORK, December 10-The board
of directors of the National League went
| into session at noon today at the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel. Practically all the princi-
pal base ball men in the country were to
be found in the hotel lobby throughout
the morning, for a national league draws
both big and little from the ranks of the
| diamond men. Circulating from group
to group the main subject heard was that
| referring to deals for various players,
but it went no further than speculation
this morning. for no one seemed to know
what any other magnate was planning for
his team.
| President Murphy of the Chicago Ma
tionals. and Barney Dreyfuss of the Pitts
| burg team, which finished first and Sec
ond in the league. both announced their
intention to stand pat next season. Muir
phy said that he was perfectly satisfied
with the men who won the championship
in Chicago during the last summer and
| that there would be no changes in the
makeup of his team. The Pirates may
have some new faces, Dreyfuss admitted.
but they all will be young players whom
he picked up before the close of the last
| season. He added that at present he had
none for sale.
1t is the general belief of the delegates
that when the preliminary ceremonies
-
Pullfam will have a few suggestions to
| make bearing upon the revision of the
playing rules. but these suggestions can
not. of course, be Incorporated in the
rules until the joint meeting of the Ma
| tional and American leagues is held in
February. President Pullam's principal
suggestion will probably hear upon the
playing of doubleheaders throughout the
season.
Under the present system, when home
team plays doubleheader to make up
| for postponed game it does so at it's own
volition, and with great shrewdness the
dates for such a pair of games are usually
set at time when the visiting team is at
| its weakest. President Pulliam would
prefer to see such games arranged for by
| the code so that doubleheader dates may
be settled when the season schedule is pre-
pared.
| Then, too. President Pulliam. as we'll
as the rest of the magnates, appears
| to be Of the opinion that the playing
| of double-headers on such days as the
home team may consider favorable for
the attraction of a large crowd tends
to cheaper the sport. or. as they say,
| make bargain day" affair of 1t.
The convention will probably be in
| session for three days, ending Thurs
| day afternoon with a tentative ar
rangement of next seasons schedule.

Two O'Clock Score.
TRYING TO FIX WRECK BLAME.
Trial Of Vice President Smith Re-
sumed at New York.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 1O-The taking
of testimony in the trial of Vice President
Alfred H. Smith of the New York Central
for manslaughter in connection with the
Woodlawn accident last February, when
twenty-four persons were killed. COM
menced this morning in the COUNTY court
house before Judge Kellogg and the jury
obtained yesterday.
Assistant District Attorney Smyth
opened the case for the prosecution. He
referred at the start to the fact that the
defendant was in charge of vast system,
comprising 1000 miles of track. He was
confident, he declared, that the jury. would
feel no prejudice toward Mr.. Smith on &C
count of his success in life or because of
his connection with large corporation.
"On the other hand together with honor
goes responsibility" continued Mr.. Smyth,
and together with honor goes duty. The
greater number of lives intrusted to a
mans care the greater is his response
bility.'
The prosecutor then described Vice Pres
ident Smiths duties as general superin-
tendent of the electrical zone. He was
in charge of the operation and mainte-
nance of way in that department.
Mr.. Smyth explained the nature of the
charge against the defendant stating that
~
part of the crime Of manslaughter in the
second degree, but that it was necessary
for the prosecution to prove only gross
and culpable negligence"
1T was the defendants duty to deter
mine the safe speed, particularly at
curves, at which the new electrical en-
gines could run. 1t was his duty to
make rules and regulations to prevent ex-
cessive speed. He, however, totally neg
lected these duties. The train which was
derailed at Woodlawn was in charge of a
comparatively incompetent engineer,
bound by no rules or regulations. The
track of the Woodlawn curve was safe for
the old locomotives at their rates of speed
But the new electrical engines were built
so well, their center of gravity was SO
low, that they ran very smoothly. and an
engineer would have great difficulty in
determining at what speed his engine was
running
The prosecutor declared that forty-six
miles was the safety limit at the curve in
question, whereas the electrical engines
could attain speed Of seventy miles. The
engineer on the Brewster express, which
met with the accident, had only few
days expe rience on the electrical en-
gines.
