LOSE INTHE IN
Wertz Had One of His Nervous
Spells With the Game Won;
Long Hits a Feature
By "I mp" J i
That old saying, "there's may a slip 1
twixt cup and lip." was never more i
forcibly demonstrated than in the
windup of yesterday's same between
Harrisburg and Allentown at Island
Park. i
Leading by one run, Cockill's boys
looked like winners in the ninth. Vic-,
tory appeared doubly sure in the Teu- !
ton's half of the ninth when two men |
ivent down. Then came the slip, j
"Wertz blew up. Allentown won, score ]
7 to 4. ! J
It was not all the fault of the New-!
port boy. Umpire Walker who was I
partial in his balls and strikes with i
Johnny Castle's bunch, called balls on i
three curves that cut the plate. Wertz j
had a nervous spell. Then came rain, j
The ball got wet. and it was at this
juncture that a little advice to the j
youngster to dry the ball, might have!
brought a more satisfactory result to;
the fans.
The ball slipped from the boy's!
fingers and went over the plate at slow !
speed. Castle's swatters got busy, and j
Harrisburg is again in second place.'
Previous to Wertz going to the bad, [
O'Neill and Phillips took the same j
route. The Teutons had terrific hit-'
ting spasms at the Alpha and Omega;
periods.
With two men down in the ninth,'
Therre singled, Teal walked. Castle i
singled and Murray hit for four bases.!
Four runs and victorv came. The |

———————_____
By a tie vote of 2 to 2, the coun
cilmanic resolution authorizing the
appointment of Charles J,. O'Donnell,
deposed sergeant of police under
Mayor Royal, as patrolman to succeed
Clifford A. Palmer, indefinitely sus-1
pended for physical disability, fell at!
this afternoon's session of council.
Commissioners Lynch and Taylor
voted against the measure; Mayor
Royal and Commissioner Gorgas voted
for O'Donnell's appointment.
Commissioner Bowman was absent.
He is attending a funeral.
The resolution originally was intro
duced by Mayor Royal and was laid
over last week. When there is a tie
vote on resolution the measure falls.
Mayor Royal bitterly again de
plore,d the action of Commissioners
Taylor and Lynch in not giving him
back his officer. Tt wasn't fair, he'
said: he is held responsible for the |
policemen and declared that Council 1
should give him the right to make his 1
own appointments. There was no
question as to the qualifications of Mr.
O'Donnell, he pointed out; Palmer
had been given a fair chance on the
force and didn't make good.
The Mayor Com plains
"In all fairness I think 1 ought to
have the privilege of naming men who i
are to serve under me when I am held \
responsible," concluded the Mayor.:
"I don't think the selection of these
men ought to lie left to ward poli
ticians."
"What do you mean, 'ward politi
cians?' " asked Mr. Taylor.
"Why the men in the wards to name
the appointments."
"Didn't you consider that two years
ago?' again inquired Mr. Taylor.
"Suppose," suggested Mr. Lynch,
"that we suggest one that was re
moved by you?"
"Can you name one reason," coun
tered the Mayor, "for objecting to
I this man?"
j "You were the first to do this thing,
I object to appointments," reminded
I Mr. Lynch.
j Mr. Taylor: "When you were Mayor
didn't you make removals that were
for cause?"
But That Was "Different"
"Now that," returned the Mayor, "is
an entirely different matter. Con
ditions were different. Every Mayor
who went made a clean sweep. You
gentlemen know that. All made a
change; but I say that I retained more
of every political faith than any
other."
"There was a reason," observed Mr.
Taylor. "You were a nonpartisan
Mayor."
"That's all right," replied the chief
executive, "1 know. But that was dif
ferent."
"When you said that the man who
had been dropped (Palmer) couldn't
fill the bill, didn't we agree with you?"
>vas Mr. Lynch's final word.
"The question is on the resolution,"
said Mayor Royal.

turers to this country.
Captains Disagree
Captain Kendall and Captain An
dersen, in their public statements,
agree that fog signals were exchanged
when their vessels were a considerable
distance apart, but there are irrecon
cilable statements as to the speed and
as to the Storstad's conduct immedi
ately after the collision.
Extracts from the captains' state
ments follow:
Captain Kendall: "I saw my ship
was stopped, i blew two long blasts,
meaning 'My ship is stopped and has
no way upon her'."
Captain Andersen: "The Empress
was going a good speed ahead. She
was going fast. She was making con
siderable headway."
Captain Kendall: "I shouted to the
Storstad to keep his ship full speed
ahead to fill the hole made. He backed
away. The Empress then began to
fill and listed over rapidly."
Captain Andersen: "The Storstad's
engines were ordered ahead for the
purpose of hiding her bow against the
side of the Empress, and thus prevent
ing the entrance of water into the ves
sel. The headway of the Empress
swung the Storstad around in such a
way as to twist the Storstad out of the
hole."
Poor Seamanship Cause
of Latest Disaster
Boston, June 2.—"lt was not weak
ness in the construction of the Em
press of Ireland nor too few lifeboats
—lt was poor seamanship that caus
ed the loss of nearly a thousand lives
in the sea horror of last Friday," de
clared Andrew Furuseth, of San Fran
cisco, president of the International
Seamen's' Union of America, which
opened its annual convention last
night.
"Ever since the liability of the ship
owner has been limited, releasing him
from responsibility in case of mis
takes of a crew, there has been less
concern about the safety of passeng
ers," Mr. Furuseth said.
"More than half of those who per
ished could have been saved if the
crew had been efficient and organized
for action in an emergency.

' Captured Mexican
Battleflag Will Hang
in Place of Honor
The Mexican war flag, captured at
the City of Mexico in 1S 48 by Samuel
Roller and recently exhibited in the
front windows of the Telegraph build
ing, was to-day presented to the State
by Samuel B. Sheller, of Duncannon,
whose property it was.
The flag has attracted much atten
tion as it was shown here and in
Philadelphia and Mr. Sheller deter
mined that the fitting place for It was
at the Capitol. To-day he sent a let
ter to Adjutant General Stewart stat
ing that he felt that it should be the
property of the Commonwealth.
It is the intentioh to place the flag
in a frame and to hang it In the main
