REDFIELD CERTAIN
 DURAND RESIGNED
Tittman RefuteS Charge Made by
 Hughes in Address

CoOperstown N. Y, Aug. 11.-Wil- liam c. Redticld, secretary of com merce, dictated last night a statement on the Durand and Tittman resigna- tions from the government service. The statement follows:
 ~' MT. Durand, in his statement does not claim either that his resignation was asked or that he was removed. He admits he resigned, but did so out of the customary courtesy etc. confess ignorance of this customary courtesy There were seven other bureau chiefs in the department. I do not recall that any other of them was thus impelled to tender his resig- nation.
 'Durand, in the letter which MT. Hughes read, does not claim either to have been removed or that his resig- nation was demanded. He says he told me he would resign when re- quested. He does not so much as hint that l asked him to make this tender. What Durand did, either in resigning or saying he would resign, he did vol untarily and unasked and he gives the reason himself.
 'We may accept Durand'a own statements as justifying fully the statement made by me in wiring MT. Hughes that Durand was not removed or retired, but resigned voluntarily, unaskcd.' He himself is witness to this by his own statements.
 "'The trouble appears to have been that the resignation was accepted. Here and only here, was where any in a ;,o rand's resignation was accepted be- cause I was satisfied a marked inn provement in the administration of ble Conceding, for the sake of argu- ment, Durand's scientific value, it does nG$ and it did not follow that he was competent as an administrator. thought he was not so. I have since become fully convinced of it. I am quite willing in this, as in any other similar care to have my action judged by the standard saying By their fruits ye shall know them Adminis- tration fruits do not of necessity grow , @n scientific trees.

Lindley Murray, the California meteor defeated tho Japanese lawn tennis player Itchiya Kumagae, and thereby won his place in the final round of the AcheIlis chal- lenge cup singles yesterday. This semi match was the OvershadoW- ing feature of tho fourth day of tho bright Lawn Tennis and Cricket club at Seabright N. J., to bring out the challenger of R. Norris Williams 2d for the most priceless trophy of the courts. Murray's victory was well won at 6-8, 6-4, G-3
 George M. Church, the former Princeton intercollegiate winner, came through in the other semi final round contest. Church repeated against Will lis F. Davis, the youthful player from the Pacific coast, who won the nation al clay court hOnOrs, at GA, 6-4. As a result of the great battles the east and west again stand as clashing on the courts as the great ranking men near the national tournament.
 The doubles produced two matches of importance. Karl H. Behr and Frederick B. Alexander were in their liveliest mood against R. Norris Will Hams 2d and Watson M. Washburn. the former Harvard stars. It was spirited lawn tennis, with the flashing style of the old Davis cup veterans standing by them in the rallies so that they scored a place in the semi-final round at 6-3, 2-6, G-1.
 Likewise William M. Johnston and Clarence J. Griffin, the national title holding pair, tuned up their strokes for a place in the final. It was large ly practice for them, as they over whelmcd the youthful CaifOrnianS, Eugene A. Warren and Edwin R. Mccormick at 6-1, 7-5.

AS soon as the weather makes 1t
possible for the farmers to work
without being Inconvenience by the
frozen ground, Postmaster Beck in
tends to open a campaign to induce
the farmers to move their mail boxes
nearer the road. Many rural route
patrons have their boxes SO far away
from the road that the carrier is re-
CURED to get out of his automobile to
place mail in the box.
Orders have been received from the
department at Washington requiring
the farmers to place names plainly on
the boxes and to place the boxes In
such position that they can be easily
reached by the carriers. This has not
been complied with in many cases. Mr..
Beck asserted.
The postmaster intends to inspect
the routes personally and report each
c;-se. II the patrons persist In their
refusal, the department will order the
carriers to cease delivering mail at
their respective boxes.
