Concluding Mr.. Roosevelt declares
that no law-defying corporation has

The president contrasts Mr. Bry-

Senator Foraker, 'as set forth In his
letter of July 20, which / quoted in
my statement" The reply continues:
II was a matter of common notoTiety
about Senator Foraker, as it has long
been a matter of common notoriety
about Gov Haskell, that he was the
defender and supporter of certain
great corporate interests and, there
fore, hostile to the policies for which
the administration has stood. There
was no such convincing proof against
Senator Foraker at that time, how
ever, as there was against Gov
Haskell when, as you say, he was
with your approval made treasurer of
your campaign committee.

prizes his Americanism and his citi-

the ball there to claim force but Nc
Ginnity caught the sphere among the
crowd and threw 1t into left field.
Merkle insisted that he had touched
second base and the Chicago players
were equally positive that he had not
done So Chance claimed the run did
not count as there was so much inter
ference that his men could not get
control of the ball
Umpire Emsie was judging the
base running and is credited with say
ing that he did not see whether Mer
he went TO second or not. ODay la

eight feet deep Orassi was sitting
down, holding the drill, while the
others were welding the sledge
hammers. When the earth caved in

and instead of striking the drill, it
came in contact with Orassi's head,
fracturing the skull and causing in
