CALL ENGLISH GOOD SPORTS
American Navy Boxers, Returning
From London, Are Pleased
British Rules Handicap.

That Englishmen are good sports
men and fighters was the unanimous
opinion of a contingent Of American
navy boxers who arrived in New York
from London, where they participated
IN the Anglo-American service tourna-
ment. The only semblance Of an ex-
euse offered by the American boxers
was that they were handicapped by
the British rules and that the three
short rounds did not give them time
to get started.

VACANT JUDGESHIP
CAUSES ACTIVITY

Washington, May 20.-The South
Carolina federal judgeship vacancy
took an interesting turn here today
with the arrival of j. Lyles Glenn of
Chester, and E. Wylie of Lancaster,
the latter coming in the interest of
candidacy of Judge Ernest Moore of
the latter place. A conference was
held with the attorney general Of the
United States regarding the situation
and while it can not be said at this
time that there is an indication
pointing toward the recommendation
of any special candidate, the fact
that some of the aspirants and their
friends are in Washington as fore
cast in these dispatches several days
ago lends interest to the general sit
uation. Senator Dial, it is under
stood, has informed some Of the can
didates that he can not consistently
recommend any man who lives out
side the Western district, and Sena-
tor E. D. Smith has made no an
nouncement in the matter. It is
known that important developments
are pending which may prove fea-
ture Of the race when they become
known but which for certain reasons
can not be made public at this time.
It is also learned that an invitation
has come from Secretary Tumulty,
indicating what line the president
may follow when he returns to the
United States with respect to the
nomination, but this, for private rea-
sons, can not be announced now.
There was some talk here today of
the president making a nomination
by cable, but it is not believed this
will be done.

Senators and employers, the con-
tingent funds necessary to defray
the extra costs of Senate business
conducted through investigating
committees and other authorized
agencies, provision for the Senate's
general and regular operations, and
the expense of the care and mainte-
nance Of its property. The moneys
fentrusted to the secretary as dis
bursting officer have been properly
accounted for and there has been the
least possible friction between his
office and the Treasury Department,
which scrutinizes the legality Of pay

Over $4,000 Nominations.
During the past six years over 75,-
900 nominations were received from
the President, as compared with 26,-
900 received during the next preced-
ing six years. Of these $4,000 NOM
nations, $4,000 were handled in the
third session of the 65th Congress-
and all of them handled to the en-
tire satisfaction of the Senate.
The retiring secretary has been re-
markably punctual in his attendance
at the Senate and has shown con-
sistent reverence for it's dignity as a
c:.oat representative institution. He
leaves his position in the Senate with
the regret of that body as a whole.
Regardless of party alignment, Sena-
tors generally agree that he has made
highly successful secretary. eff you

Senate, Steps out when Republicans .

Washington, May 20.--James M.
Baker, of South Carolina, ended his
term of service as Secretary Of the
Senate today when that body was
reorganized by the Republicans. He
had been connected with the Senate
for 26 years. Senator Lodge, leader
of the majority, is now the only
Senator who was a member Of the
Senate when Mr.. Baker became its
assistant librarian.
At the close Of the civil war the
Senate seemed to prefer to choose
distinguished editors for it's secreto-
ries. Then after a decade or 80 it
turned to ex-Congressmen. When the
Democrats won the Senate in 1913
they promoted Mr.. Baker from. the
library to the secretaryship. he knew
the senatorial habit of mind and con-
formed to it's preferences. His office
became less place of social gather
ing and more a consultation cham
