Forbes, Atldntd Star, Says
 Team Got Square Deal

Streit, manager of the Birmingham Ath- letic club team:
 Wish to mention before closing about the article in Mondays Georgian. Sim ply desire to state, as I suppose Hud- son has done, that there is no sentiment to the effect as stated therein on my part or on the part of any member of the team. Hope that no one in Birmingham will think that the source of the article came from anyone connected with the club or team, and the only excuse that can be offered for its occurrence is that it was not signed. Simply as a player I ask you to overlook the article. We feel we got square deal.

London, February 2i.-(Speca1 )-The very cold weather of the early part of the month seriously interfered with the work of the aVrsity boat crews, but they are now both rapidly rounding into condition and there is every indication of rat ting good race. So far as can be judged the crews are more evenly matched than they were last year both in weight and rowing ability and a cracking good race is looked for with Oxford little the fav- orite

The committee of the Henley Royal de- gatta have had under consideration two proposals to altar the course, but at their recent meeting decided that no drastic changes should be made.
 Proposal No. 1 provided that the start should be placed on the Berkshire side of the island, about 1S0 yards higher up the river than at present with the finish about 80 yards nearer the bridge. This course would be laid out with an angle in favor of the Berks boat about 300 yards from the start. and another in favor of the Bucks boat near Fawley. iWth this

Last week the Atlanta Georgian scored the Athletic club basketball bunch for playing such a rough game and stated that 1t was probable that the Atlanta Athletic club would politely but firmly refuse to play the Birmingham team any more. The clause was added that they would almost surely stop if the team had won the game, but now, as they lost, it was probable that the Atlantans would keep on playing until they won. The article implied that the Atlantans did not feel that they got square deal here last Saturday night, February F.

MT. Sullivan claims to have received assurances that the wishes of the | signers will be respected. This IS only one Of several Eaeves that have been made with a view to inducing | the telephone company to abandon | the proposed establishment of a new division with a new exchange in New Hartford.

General Wood l. Suggested as the
Proper Man to Restore Peace
Again in Cuba.

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Naval
officers are clearly of the opinion that
their task of policing Cuba will be a
long one, for with today's order the
colliers are being made ready with
coal and supplies for the vessels in
Cuban waters sufficient to meet their
needs for many weeks to come. The
collier Hector is scheduled to leave
Hampton Roads next Monday for
Key West and probably will proceed
from there to Guantanamo. The col
lier Celtic is also under orders to
leave Boston within a fortnight and
her cruise also in all probability will
end at Guantanamo.
The little gunboat Petrol, now on
her way from New Orleans, will re-
ceive orders at Key West directing
her to some Cuban port not yet Sc
lected. Aside from these additions,
the navy department does not con-
template ordering any more ships to
Cuba just now or at ALL until the
disorders should extend much be-
yond the present limits. That this
may be the case Is indicated by a is
patch from the commander of the
Gunboat Paducah that great uneasi-
ness exists at Santiago and in that
Vicinity while the reports early In the
day were of ominous movements on
part of the insurrectos and OF appeals
for help from plantation owners.
From one source came a rumor
that touched the integrity of the Gu
ban government to the effect that
Cuba itself had fostered the insurrec-
ton for certain political purposes, but
that the movement had now gotten
beyond control. The state depart
ment declares it knows nothing to
confirm this rumor, but it is certain
that the report Is finding wide cir.
culation on the south coast of Cuba.
There was more talk today about
the war department about the advis-
ability of sending some army officer
of high rank to Cuba to make an
impartial investigation of the condi-
tions there. and If possible to act as
an intermediary In restoring peace
between the factions.
1t was said the name of General
Wood was broached yesterday, and
that of Judge Advocate General
Enoch Crowder, has been brought
forward. He performed valuable
service in Cuba while the island was
under administration occupation and
practically renovated the judicial sys-
tenn. While in Cuba, as in the Phil
iplpne islands he succeeded in secur-
ing the unlimited trust and conf
denee of the natives and was uni
formly successful in composing the
factional quarrels.
1t was the common belief that IL.
in the end. Intervention In Cuba is
a necessity. there must be sweeping
changes In the ordinance law of the
Republic to guard against the re-
currence of conditions which have
made the present insurrection possi-
BILE. For this reason General Crow
der's friends have urged that his legal
ability would positively fit him for
the position of the head of the tenn
porary government of Intervention.

Voted 70 Abolish
THE COMMERCE Court
ONLY THE. SIGNATURE OF THE
PRESIDENT Is NEEDED TO
END THE NEW COURT.

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Only the
signature of President Taft is now re-
quired to abolish the commerce court
Of the United States. The legislating
out of existence Of that tribunal,
created only two years ago and which
the Supreme Court of the United
States recently declared exceeded Its
powers, finally and definitely was de-
termlned upon today when the senate
by a vote of SO to 23 defeated an
amendment to make provision for
maintaining the court in the legis T.
tive, executive and Judicial appro-
priation bill.
by this vote the senate reversed its
own appropriations committee which
had reported the adoption OF the bill.
This put both houses in congress in
accord on the matter of abolishing
the court There is a likelihood IT was
asserted in official circles tonight that
President Taft would veto the bill be-
cause of the court being abandoned.
