BERLIN, November 23.-An un-
equivocal vote of confidence was de-
manded of the reichstag today by
chancellor Stresemann. who informed
the legislature that he did not pro-
pose to retain office on the strength
OF the indirect approval accorded him

lists and the German nationalists.
Neither of these, he pointed out,
would be able in the present situa-

sary to unseat him.
The government, asserted DR.. Strese-
mann. declined to be made the bene-
fciary of party tactics, and would
only continue in office upon being
given clearly defined vote of con-

The three government parties in the
reichstag Immediately introduced a
motion to this effect.

T0LBERT RESIGNS, !.
PARTY FEUD ENDS
Political Storm Abates as
Coolidge Lets U. S. Mar
shall Quit.

President Coolidge today accepted
the resignation of Joseph ". Tolbert
as United States marshal for the
western district Of South Carolina,
thereby ending one Of the bitterest
patronage controversies of recent
years.
Tolbert, who is a republican ma
tional committeeman for South Car
olina, was appointed marshal by
President Harding during the last
session of Congress. Senator Dial,
democrat, of that state, preferred
charges against him and he failed of
confirmation. Afterward. however.
Mr. Harding gave him q recess ap-
pointment.
At the same time that Tolbert's
resignation was presented and ac-
cepted at the White House today
President Coolidge named the United
a district judgship. and then gave
Tolbert's nephew, Joseph A. Tolbert,
the district attorneyship thus va
Gated.
Nomination Caused Row.
The nomination of Joseph w. Toll
bert was sent to the last Senate by
President Harding and Immediately
aroused a storm of opposition, led by
Senator Dial. democrat. South Caro-
lima. The South Carolina senator pre-
ferred charges against Tolbert, who
Is republican national committeeman
from South Carolina, and was sue
cessful in preventing action by the
Senate upon the nomination.
Soon after the adjournment of Con-
gress Tolbert was given a recess ap-
pointment by Mr.. Harding and since
Mr. Coolidge became President there
has been much speculation as to
whether he would forward the nomi-
nation to the Senate next month.
The problem, in the view Of White
House officials. has now been solved
by Tolbert's resignation, the appoint
ment of another man to succeed him
and the selection Of his nephew to the
vacancy In the South Carolina district
attorneys Office.

The matter had been discussed
for some time, but IL was not

academic year Of 1924.
Under the rule, which has be-

the institution, no midshipman can
be member of team or crew
meeting teams representing other
colleges and organizations until
he has successfully completed the
first years work.
The Military Academy WINS in
vited to adopt n similar rule but
declined.
This will put the Naval Acad-

some time. Rear Admiral Wilson,
superintendent of tIse Academy,
stated that the rule was adopted
primarily for the benefit Of first
year students, who found varsity
athletics too absorbing. and also

Johnson's left leg was first hurt at
st. Louis this year when the Nationals
paid their initial visit to Sportmans
Park in May. He acted as relief pitcher
was wrenched when Walter under
strided in delivering the ball. Since It
has forced him from contests in Wash
lngton and just n week ago yesterday
caused him to leave the box in Chicago
after pitching three innings.
1t was thought that the rest of more
than a week would strengthen the
wobbly leg, and Walter probably would
had he not been compelled to make
that dash from first to third in the
seventh inning. Now the leg is in
worse condition than ever and likely
strength.
Pitchers Worked Ragged.
All of the veteran pitchers with the
Nationals have been worked ragged"
and it is remarkable that they have
been able to stick to their tasks
recently. Allen Russell. who has per-
formed valiantly as a relief pitcher Is
cracking under the strain of stepping
to the mound three or four days a week
to check rallies of the opposition. In
Cleveland Wednesday he had to take
Jez Zachary's place in the eighth in
ming and finish the game and yesterday
he toiled from the first inning through
the sixth. Allen was not sent to the
box in the seventh because he was al
most too weak to lift his arm. Today
he had nothing from the start and 1t
was almost a crime to send him to the
slab, but Manager Bush had no others
capable of assuming a relief role.
Eleven games have been played by
the Nationals since they invaded the
west for the last time this season and
eight have come their way, but it is in
conceivable that they can maintain this
pace much longer. The Bushmen are
a game lot and in some positions quite
strong, but they have been playing
above their normal speed. Engines can
be driven above their ratings occa-
sionaliy for quite a while, but they
suddenly burn out. So it is with a
base ball club that. as the expression
goes, plays better than it knows how"
It's bound to come acropper.
