On the other hand. the money part
OF the situation is not TO be lost sight

trainers TO pick out for their equine
charges at such places the easiest race

WAIVERS ON CHEsBRoi
Such Is the Report the New York Cor
respondents Have Sent Out. -

Jack Chesbro has gone the way
OF the great stars OF former days. The
man who made the spit ball' famous
is not good enough now for even the
New York Americans.
A report has been sent out by one
OF New York's scribes here with the
team that Manager Stallings has ask
ed waivers on Chesbro.
Not that Stallings Is lacking In ap.
probation OF the great work Chesbro
has done In former days: IL Is simply
that Chesbro's days OF usefulness are
over. II is hardly likely that Chesbro
will have TO go back TO the minors.
for he Is rich as ball players 60

Washington, May TO-. President
Taft has settled three federal judge
ship contests by sending to the SEN
ate the nominations of William I.
Grubb as judge of the Northern dis
trict of Alabama, George Donworth
for the Western district Of Washing
ton and Charles A. Willard as district

Two Of the judgeship appointments

ate with high honors in the class of
1853 and a roommate of the presi-

university. Mr.. Willard served for
several years as a justice of the SUI
preme court of the Philippine islands.
Prior to that he was leading lawyer
of Minneapolis. He succeeds Milton
d. Purdy, who resigned because he
feared the senate would refuse to con-
firm his appointment
Mr.. DonWerth OF Seattle assumes
the additional judgeship provided by
an act Of the last congress. He is a
former law partner of Senator Piles
Of Washington and had the endorse
ment, it is said, of the entire Wash
ington delegation.

Among the speakers will be Rabbi
Stephen S. Wise Of New York, Miss
Jane Adams of Chicago, Joseph Lee,
president Of the Massachusetts Civic
league; Representative James Francis
Burke, Mayor Magee and DR.. Luther

ONE BASIS FOR NEW TRIAL

Juror in Jordan Murder Case Declared
Insane.
Concord, Mass, May 10.-Willis- A.
White, a member of the jury which on
May convicted Chester S. Jordan of
murder, was sent to the Worcester
insane hospital. by Judge Prescott
Keyes of the district court, who de-
cided that the man was insane and
should be placed under restraint. 1t
is believed that White broke down
under the strain of the trial.
The development of insanity by
White will be used by Jordan's attor-
neys in their plea to obtain new
trial for their client.
