Underwood EIated
Senator Underwood, who has fought
for the appointment Of Smyer, both on
the grounds OF efficient conduct Of Of.

pointee to the Birmingham office, was
visibly elated over the results of the
civil service rating, according to. the
dispatch from Washington.
Senator Underwood declared, reports
said, that he would go to the POST
master General at once and urge him
to send the name OF Smyer to the SEN
ate. Information from the post office
department, however, indicated that
there would be no haste in making the
selection. Postmaster General New Is
anxious, it was said, that offices Of the
Birmingham classification be filled with
best men available, and that appoint-
ments be removed as far as possible
from politics.

til he had heard from the Jefferson

taking further steps, he had waited on
the results of the civil service exami.

use OF the. word urged" as applied to
his interest in the nomination Of Bass

STONE PROTESTS
TRAIN CONTROLS
Automatic Device Adds To Dan.
ger, Engineers Chief Says

WASHINGTON, May 7.-RailFoad
executives and operating officials were
supported by Warren s. Stone, presi-
dent of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers in opposing before the inter
state commerce commission today its
order for the installing of automatic
train control systems on portions of the
principal railroads Of the country.
Mr.. Stone told the commission during
hearings on the order that installation
of the automatic control system would be
a menace and that the dangers of the
system would be incomparably greater
than the present control by the engineer,
The principal objection, he said, lies
in the danger that by mechanical appli-
cation Of the brakes, the train may
buckle, throwing wreckage upon parallel
tracks: A fast passenger train NOV
ing into wreckage thus thrown upon
an adjacent track would bring almost
sure death to every person on 1t, he
said.

lions, She States

ATLANTIC CITY. =. j., May t.
Evelyn Nesbit has abandoned her fight
to keep Harry X. Thaw In the Kirk
bride sanitarium and has advised her
counsel to drop the opposition TO Thaw's
release.
Il cannot continue to buck my head
against the Thaw millions when the
trustees of the estate have withdrawn
their. Sbjection--the' odds are too bic,
and am awfully sick and tired Of the
whole business Evelyn declared in an
nouncing her decision.
Evelyn has stood alone between Thaw
and freedom. Her counsel was to have
appeared before Judge Monaghan in
Philadelphia next Monday on his APP
peal from the recent decision that Thaw
was sane. The hearing has been called
off at the request of Miss Nesbit.
Evelyn Nesbit is determined, how
ever, TO obtain. if possible, enough
money from Thaw to support her son,
Russell William Thaw. IN whose name
she brought her legal objection to
Thaw's release.
my decision IN this mattes--not to
fight HaryF's release-is final"

HERALD-TRIBUNE.


Gone but not forgotten. The SEN,
ators shook the dust of little old
New York from their cleated shoes
last night with three games out of
four in the series, songs on their
lips, joy in their hearts. and lead
of game and half in the American
League pennant parade. They got
that way by humping the Yankees
into defeat by the score of 4 to 2
in a ten-inning turmoil at the sta
dunn yesterday. Some $4,000 neigh
bors and alleged friends of the vic
tins sat around the park and never
lent hand to the helpless Hugmen.
Sam Jones certainly Is pitching in
hard luck. Last time out he was
beaten 1 to 0 by Coveleskie. He al
lowed only three hits in seven in
nings yesterday and got nothing for
it but exercise.
Walter Beall, the sensational young
Highlander recently purchased from
the Rochester club, was in uniform
yesterday. He may get into this Sc
ries with the Red Sox. Four games
in two days will use up plenty OF
pitching material.
Pinch hitters were at a discount
yesterday. Huggins tried Shag Koran,
Ernie Johnson and Gehrig, and there
wasn't q hit in the trio.
Goose Goslin made II hits in 16
times at bat in this series. The
Yankee pitchers appointed COM
mittee to make certain his departure
with the rest Of the Senators.
TIMES.
1t was the final game Of the four
game series, the Senators taking three
Of them, and as a result Washington
returned home last night with lead
of a game and a half over the cham
pions 1t is estimated that more than
$4,000 persons saw the four-game
series.
Ruth and Mogridge engaged in
some strenuous duels Six times in
two times up Ruth deliberately de-
serted the plate as Mogridge was
about to deliver the ball. Twice Mo-

BAN UNWISELY FORCES.
HOLMES INTO BIG SERIES

Ban johnson, although the
length to which he goes at times
in exercisinE his administrative
authority as president of the
American League frequently has
nettled big mOguIs, generally is
credited with being shrewd
leader and n grent uplffter in baxe
ball. But Bans wisdom must be
questfOned when he assigns to n
series ny important AZ that Just
ended between Nationals and Yam
KEGS such mn umpire nv Howard
Holmes, regarded throughout the
JOhnx0nian circuit ~ the poorest
nrbiter of the star.
Holmes, while undoubtedly an
earnest worker, appears to have
neither the judgment nor per-
sOnality necessary for handling n
big base ball series. He has been
in difficulty In every city in the
circuit md never has seemed capa.
BILE Of keeping out Of trouble or
conducting a game to the satix-
faction either of fans or players.
Where other umpires keep the
contesting clubs ON their toes,
HOlmes' games generally are
marred by wOrdy battles dis
gusting to the base ball public.
Apparently he has far to go to
become the equal of several other
mem bers of the American League
stafY and it seems poor policy to
assign him to sO-called crucial
series.
