COLONEL MOSBY DISMISSED
Age Costs Noted Elk Confederate
His Place.

Washington, July S.-Colonel John s.
Mosby. who distinguished himself in the
Confederate cause during the Civil War
as daring guerilla fighter, and in the
early part of President Roosevelt's ad-
ministration was appointed special at
torney in the Department of Justice, has
lost his place. The reason has not been
made known, but it is understood that
old age was the chief cause for the dis
missal
Colonel Mosby is seventy-three years
old, although his friends say he still is
active and energetic. He has made no
appeal to be restored, although this is
deemed probable, and the President and
the Attorney General may be asked to
intervene Colonel Mosby, it is said,
may now devote his time to writing a
book on the Civil War

CANCEL BIG POLO MATCH
Injury to English Player Forces
a Withdrawal.
MUCH REGRET FELT HERE
International Team, Which Won
Cup Last Year, Already
at Practice.

The much talked of and keenly anticf-
pated international polo match for the
cup, brought back to this country last
year by the Meadow Brook team. has
been declared off. Owing to an injury
to Francis Grenfall, one of the leading
players of the old EtOnian team, which
had challenged for the trophy, 1t was
considered necessary to cancel the en-
gagement.
The disappointing news reached this
country, yesterday in cable message
to William A. Hazard, secretary of the
American Polo Association. which read:
Owing to injury to Francis Grenfall,
Fripp says impossible to play America
end of August Much regret. This
breaks up old Etonian team and rem
ders it impossible for the men to carry
out their engagement. Deeply regret
Inconvenience caused. Letter follows
In reply to this Mr.. Hazard addressed
a return message to Major Green, man.
ager of the birmingham Club, as fol-
lows:
please accept our sincerest sympathy
over Grenfalls injury. We are all
greatly disappointed that you are not to
send a team to America this season. but
quite appreciate the position in which
you are placed"
Much regret and disappointment was
expressed last evening by those polo en-
thusiasts who heard the news. The
withdrawal of the challenge came like
thunderclap out of a clear sky, as
plans We're completed for playing the
matches at Meadow Brook late in Au-
gust. and the defending team. of which
Harry Payne Whitney is captain, was
engaged in practice matches.
Mr.. Hazard said last night that ar
engagements are now being perfected in
England to send over a strong polo team
to play through August in the tourna-
ment of the Point Judith Polo Club at
Narragansett Pier, which will add some
spice to the sport 1t will hardly make
up. however, for the loss of the big
international match, which was arous-
ing so much interest.

BOY OF IS TRIES SUICIDE
His Mind Poisoned by BIood-and-
Thunder Novels, Says Family.
SHOOTS SELF BEFORE GLASS
Comstock Should Go After the
Publishers of Such Books,
Mother Declares.

Peter Grubb, sixteen years old, shot
himself in the back as he stood in front
of the hat rack mirror a. his home, No
424 East nth street last evening. After
he had been removed to Bellevue Hos
pital his mother told of the youths dime
novel reading propensities, to which she
attributed the attempt at suicide.
She said her son had been a reader OF
cheap detective and wild West stories
for three years. and of late had often
terrorized his four younger sisters and
his brother by impersonating dime novel
villains He had lost many jobs, she
said. because he neglected his work to
absorb the lurid tales of blood and rob-
berry.
In her anger at the state OF MIND OF
her son Mrs Grub vented her feelings
in an arraignment of Anthony Comstock-
She asserted that Mr.. Comstock ought
to push his campaign against pubhshers
and writer's of dime novels and let the
matter of nude statues rest
The Would-be suicide is an overgrOwn
vouth. standing nearly six feet. While
the family We're at supper last night
Peter suddenly sprang from his chalr
and announced that he intended ending
his life. "Goodby," he shouted, with
theatrical wave of his hand

His sisters and parents laughed, be-
lieying the boy was in one of his MOODS
7rbev Maid no attention when he hurried
from the room. and not until the report
of a revolver was heard did they beileve
he had made good his threat. The father
and mother ran into the hallway, FOL
lowed by the other children. Peter was
found lying on his back in front of the
hallrack.
where are you shot?' cried the
mother in a frenzy of fright The
wounded boy at first refused to answer
Finally he said: Find out for your
selves
It was the father who discovered the
wound in the youths back One or the
children ran out for a policeman, and got
patrolman McCutcheon. He called an
.r,bulance from the Presbyterian Hos
pital.
While the wounded boy was being pre-
,ared for removal search was made for
the revolver. It was found behind the
hall rack. The youth must have twisted
his right arm around and behind his
hack in order to shoot himself, for the
wound was Just below the right shoulder
blade. The revolver was one owned by
the boys father, and was kept IN bu-
,eau drawer in his bedroom Inc rather
carried it to the East River and hurled
