There is an old veteran of the
First Napoleon who lived until
1865 IN the French village of
Savary and who had a wood an
leg, a wooden arm, a glass eye
a silver palate. a complete set of
false teeth, and a silver plate on
the top of his head, and yet died
peacefully in his bed. Compared
with such men, the proverbial
nine-lived cat is nowhere.

 Senator Hoke Smith: q will wait to see the Presidents note to Germany and Secretary Bryans full expression of views. Of course l see no reaSen for war with Germany on account of anything that has happened so far
 Senator Ashurst of Arizona: "The resignation is simply the result of an honest, frank, vet firm, difference of opinion between our greatest states men. The letter of resignation and the note of acceptance are luminous aEd noble and should be read by all Amer ican citizens"

 Representative Evans. Montana. Tt Is very unfortunate that the Bryan resignation should come at this crit ical period in the countrys history. The country does not want war. Neith- CT does the President nor MT. Bryan. It seems unfortunate that they could not agree on the best method to avert the possibility of war"

FRED'S COMMENT
 ON THE AMATEURS

The Central league officials face deli cate problem tonight when they choose team to take the place of Roberts x league on account of their conflicting working hours Whats the matter with MT. Ewing? We thought he was fan. The printers made an excellent show ing at the beginning of the season and although they were in the cellar at the present time they clearly showed that they had good squad and would have been a factor in the pennant race.
 
 Walter Hickey has secured his release from the Jefferson club in the Recreation league and has signed a contract calling for his services with the Rasco Jewellers Hickey is d southpaw and promises to be a good helper in putting the jewellers back in the lead.
 Hickey proved to be a consistent win ner in the Recreation He won every game that he pitched, that being all that the club played. He was also an i'm portant factor in the victories himself, batting over 600 for the six games.
 While Rrookside and Mineral Springs are fighting 1t out for first place, New castle appears to be the real dark horse. The miners are having some fine ball games out their way. warm race Is expected.

 The first game will be played on June 1s The six teams are: Gadsden Car Wheel Works. Maccabees, Elks. Gulf States Steel company and the Dwight Manufacturing company.
 All of the teams will receive especially good support from the fans. Great snc- cess awaits this league.
 East Lake. Pep-to-Lac, Postoffice and Ressemer are now picked as dangerous contestants for the bunting in their re- spective circuits Not any of them have ia sted defeat and the question is, which one will be the undefeated champion.
 If these teams keep their present gait until about the first of August they will have first honors cinched. To do this they will have to play classy ball.
 
 To be called a batter in the Shelby County league you must hit the pill at 700 clip. Something must be wrong, either with the pitchers. or else we would like to advise Moley of the fact that he may gather up a few of these natural hitters. What!

 ACADEMY STUDENTS

Annapolis Md. June S.--Commander F. A. Traut, head of the department of modern languages at the naval aca- denny, testifying late today before the naval court of inquiry Investigating charges of irregularities in examina ; tions at the academy told of suspicious circumstances surrounding the first examination in his department. Testi- mony previously had been given to show that papers Midshipman J. D. Moss claimed to have received by mail from an anonymous source and the contents of which were distributed as dope" were papers that had been pre- pared by the instructors for the ex- animation in modern languages.
 One morning, according to Com mander Trauts testimony, after tine examination papers had been prepared, as Commander Traut and Professor Fernandez, his assistant, were about to look over the papers, Professor Fer nandez told the commander he thought he had placed paper with a distin- gushing sentence on it on top of a cer- tain package of papers When this package was examined by the two this particular paper was not on top. There were a few other papers containing the same sentence in the package, and al- though Professor Fernandez was some what disturbed over the incident the commander suggested to him that per haps the particular paper had got in among the other papers.

Bryan'S Resignation Deeply Regretted
 By President Wilson and Cabinet

 comes Secretary of State ad interim to-
 morrow. when Secretary Bryans resig-
 nation takes effect He is a son-in-law
 of John W. Foster, Secretary of State
 under President Harrison, life-long democrat. and has been an international lawyer for many years.
 While there is much gossip already as
 to President Wilson's probable selection for the secretaryship, 1t is the Presi- dents plan to make no immediate appoint
 ment II would not be surprising if he made no change in the present status of the departments personnel for two or three months.
 Secretary Franklin K Lane of the in
 terior department has been frequently
 mentioned as possible successor to | Secretary Bryan. but the belief exists that he will not be chosen on account of his Canadian birth. and the fact that
 the President would find considerable diff 1 ficulty in finding a man to take over MT 1 Lanes important work on the Alaskan
 railway and other projects of the interior
 department.
 May Retain Lansing
 | It is considered entirely probable that the President will make no shift in his
 cabinet at all. but will choose a new man to fill the vacancy In well informed
 quarters it is considered very likely that he will retain MT. Lansing as secretary. To do would require. search for an- other counsellor. a post difficult to fill. | MT. Lansing has prepared memoranda
 for all of the important notes that have | gone to the belligerent governments since the European war began. and is looked upon not only as an expert in internation- al law but as clear thinker and ad- wiser. For many years he has served | on boundary commissions and arbitra- i ton tribunals He is a comparatively young man. well acquainted with all the | government policies. and has won the admiration of the President and MT. Bry I an by his loyalty to the Secretary of l state as his superior officer. On many | occasions MT. Lansing has submitted memoranda expressing views differing | from those of MT. Bryan but he has tact 1 fully avoided embarrassments.

PRESIDENT SHOWS
 DEEP REGRET

 son by his every word and act today
 showed his deep feeling over Secretary
 Bryan's decision to resign from the
 cabinet He accepted the resignation
 with greatest reluctance, and only aft
 CT he had become firmly convinced that

 apart on the kind of note to be sent
 to Germany

 gan to feel that his views and those
 of MT. Bryan could not be reconciled,
 the President has made no secret of
 his sorrow to his closest advisers sun
 day he called at the home of Setre-
 tary Tumulty to discuss the situation.
 Since then he has seen Secretary Br. an
 several times and has done his ut
 most to win him over to his point ef
 view. During a conference the two had
 at the White House yesterday. however, it became finally evident that Mi Bryan would leave the cabinet Not wishing to be questioned about the situation, the President directed Secretary Tumulty to cancel his reg ular Tuesday conference with newspa- per men this morning. but later he re- scinded the order and saw them At the conference he looked careworn and his replies to questions were quick and sharp. Just before the cabinet meeting he saw Postmaster General Burleson for a short time.
 Mir Bryan's resignation, it is known, was discussed thoroughly at the cab net meeting and final efforts were | made to get him to reconsider his de termina tion. The President again spoke his deep regret when MT. Bryan told him he could not remain in the official family and other cabinet mem !, bers joined in the expressions of their chief.
 | Immediately after the cabinet meet ] ing the President went to the White l House. taking Secretary Tumulty with him. He talked little on the way, but several times referred to MT. Bryan and his high regard for him. l For several days MT. Wilson has been | suffering from violent headaches and this afternoon Dr. Grayson, his phy sician insisted upon his making a round or the golf links. It was while he was away from the White House that | the definite reports that MT. Bryan | had resigned reached the public. | A few minutes later the President returned and authorized Secretary ru- | multy by telephone to formally an 1 nounce the acceptance of MT. Bryan g | resignation He requested that the newspapers be asked to speculate about who the successor would be. Torisht MT. Wilson remained in the White House with his family and retired early.
