A Statement.

Editor Reporter: Though too
late to have any effect upon the
election think it ia mount bent upon
me to set myself right before the
citizens Of Decatur county.
Just the day before the election,
80 far as my knowledge goes, a re-
port was put in circulation that /
had said that members of secret So
oieties were robbers, thieves, and
murderers, and were bound by oath
to protect each other in crime. ..
This was a malicious campaign lie
circulated too late for me to deny.
The party or parties who put it in
circulation must have known it was
false or they would have given ME
an opportunity to deny or explain
by circulating it sooner.
A close inspection Of returns,
where this falsehood was circulated,
will indicate possible reversal of
the result by this malicious attack.
! would however prefer to be de-
feated by a lie than to have been
elected as the result Of one.
Some years ago ! delivered an ad-
dress in Lamont on secret socities
in which l took the position that
such socities were not necessary to
, christians for the reason that every
benevolent and humane act required
by these obligations. was required
by ones allegiance to Christ and
that If the church would do their
duty, every benefit bestowed by, or
received from these societies would
be bestowed by, or received from
the church; but in that same address
l expressly stated that had nothing
to say about the bloodcurdling
oaths, and criminal acts said to have
been committed by these societies
and that l could not credit these
charges for the reason that l had
friends in those organizations who
knew would hot countenance such
things.
still occupy this position and
believe that every good citizen will
grant that / have a right to do So
por will he hold prejudice against
me for so holding.
do not blame men who, believ'
ing this falsehood, refused to support
me, but think it strange that re-
spectacle citizens would believe il
coming from tho source It did, and
at the time it did. / think the 10y.
al friends who without regard to
party supported me, notwithstand.
ing .Ais falsehood, SO faithfully thai
my opponents majority. was less than
any other successful Republican IL
the county. .
] am also complimented by the
fact that in my home town which
is also the home of my opponent,
ran ffifty-four votes ahead OF my
ticket, and that in adjoining towns
the effect of this lie is not 80 ap'
parent as elsewhere.

POLO MEN MEET
 IN NEW HAVEN
Formation of State League in Which Bridgeport Will
 Take Part

New Haven, June 13.-That New Haven will be a polo center next win ter is evident from the preparations being made not only in this city but throughout the state. a new lease of life having been taken on in the leading cities which point to great do- ings in the rinks the coming season. James E. Canavan is constructing a fine rink and sporting palace on Port sea street near the station and it is learned that following MT. Cana vans lead, the men interested in polo in Hartford, New Britain, Waterbury and Bridgeport, are spending time and much money in preparing for the game next year. In order to lay fur ther plans there will be a meeting of the polo magnates in the Hotel Garde here this week and it will be attend ed by MT. Canavan, representing New Haven, "Bill' Hanna, representing New Britain, Hayes and ''Dickey" Pierce from the Bridgeport team and Cunningham from Waterbury. 9th CTS interested in the sport will also be on hand.
 The league next year, if plans are carried out will be the fastest in the east and will be alive with new stars. New Haven has had no good polo in several years and the thousands of fans here will welcome a team in a representative league.
 MT. Canavan's building on the old Russell Lumber company lot is mak- ing rapid strides toward completion. The four walls are up and Contractor Coyne is hustliR things with a big when completed will be one of the best in New England and will be a fine thing for the city both from a sporting and social standpoint.

 Trip to Europe Not So Expensive.
 Many people imagine that a trip to Europe costs so much money that it simply bars them from taking one. This is not the case, as can be proven after a few minutes interview with S. Loewith & Co.,, agents, 116 Bank St. This year they are selling more tickets to Europe than ever No doubt the reason for this lies in the fact that they do many little extras for their patrons that others charge for. No matter on what line or to what country you care to go, they can fur nish you tickets and secure you berths or stateroomS. If you desire to tour during the summer they can give you any information about tours to any country on the globe. as they repre- sent the best tourists companies in tho country. Tel. 99.

MECHANICS WIN
 TWO THIRDS OF
 GAMES THEY PLAY

The Mechanics won two-thirds of their games played last week, taking contest each from Holyoke and New Britain and losing to Northamp- ton. Three games were postponed. This time last week they had a good grip on first place leading by 54 points. but that has been reduced by nine points. The Mechanics have been the only club to enjoy the lead in the league for two week ends in succession.
 The batters put through a poor week. In the three games played the leaders gathered but 16 hits. They were distributed as follows: in the Lark game; nine in the Holyoke con- test, and four in the extra inning scream with New Britain. These few hits have had their effects on the batters, the only men to make gain being Jimmy Hall and 'Snatcher'' Eley. The former advanced seven points and the latter nine. "Hi'' Ladd had a. big drop falling from .327 to 1909, while "Biff'' Bailey fell com pletely out of the select class, but with a few hits more will get back with that number. Riff" dropped something like 16 points. Bobby Stowe fell off 8; Brad Kocher, A; Cy Miller, 8; and Kustus, 8. Freddie Gibbs is the nominal leader, but ev- cry game he plays a big slice is ripped off.

MURPHY ELIGIBLE
 TO PITCH IN
 HARVARD SERIES

Yale will probably have her crack pitcher. Spencer Murfey. for the last two games in the Harvard baseball series, according to the latest turn in the mix-up over the eligibility status of that athlete. He is president of the senior class of the Sheffield Scientific school and was suspended for the re- mainder of the school year by the fac uity Cn account of the Savin Rock mix up. It was brought to the attention of the faculty that the school year ends with commencement which will be on June P, while the first game of the series with Harvard is played on 21- Murfey will not be eligible for this game of course. but he will be for the game which is scheduled to be played at Cambridge with Harvard on Thursday. June 23 the day after Yale commencement. He will also be elf- gible for the third game of the se ries.- if one is played. it is under stood.
 Prof. Chittenden, director of the Sheffield Scientific school admitted yesterday that Murfey's suspension was for only the college year and that the faculty regarded that as ending on Commencement day. Murfey will, therefore. be enabled to get his ''Y'' and the nine will have his services for the two last games of the series. The Ellis will use Tommers in the box against Harvard in the game at New raven 1ueSudy, J uiie 1l, dIiu M uIlSy will be pitched in Cambridge two days afterward.
 Murfey has the most effective spit ball of any pitcher Yale ever had. For five innings it has been invincible but he generally tires before he has played more than seven. It was Coach LuShs plan to start him in the game against Princeton over a week ago but he was declared suspended the night before and was barred from the nine.
 Although he cannot receive his di- ploma at Commencement he will take his closing examinations in September and will then be given his diploma. Yale's chances for winning the Har- ward series are regarded as vastly inn proved by the fact that Murfey will be available to pitch the last two games.

COL. ROOSEVELT'S FRIENDS SAY HE'S
 GOING TO REST
Men, Who Have COnfered With Him, Assert That He'll Not
 Take Part in Fali Campaign
Special from United Press. ]


 New York, June 13.-Men who have recently conferred with Colonel Roose- welt arrived in New York today and they confirmed emphatically the re- port cabledi to the United Press that the Colonel will refuse to take a prom inent and immediate part in this fall 2 political campaign. They unite in de- claring that Colonel Roosevelt intends to rest at Oyster Bay until early fin August and while there will confer with personal friends who have writ ten asking for appointments. He will not, however, make any public utter ances of political character. Roose- welt. it is intimated, is not quite cer- tain that Governor Hughes policies are exactly of the character to be Ia- belled my policies" and he will re- fuse to be drawn into the state fight,
 Since Roosevelt left Khartoum he has been deluged with letters from. leaders and would-be leaders of his, party. All asked for personal inter views but it is said by the CoIoneTs friends that in all but few instances he has sent word to the writers that their request is impossible. He will confer with certain men but the con- ference will be of a secret nature and will not be heralded in advance.
 He will, of course, be asked to indi- cate a choice for the Republican norr- ination for Governor in this state but his friends insist he will probably keep hands off there until a candidate is favored of whom he is distTustful.
 Roosevelt will also make plain. it is expected, that he is not Q candidate for United States Senator to succeed Chauncey M. Depew. In his own good time he will get back into politics but it is emphatically declared by his in inmates that this will not be until late next fall after the campaign is well under way and that his participation will be decidedly limited.

LYNCH MEANS
 TO CHANGE THINGS
Players Who Curse Empires and Empires Who Sass Press or
 Spectators Suffer Alike

New York. June 13.-President T. J. Lynch of the National League intends to wage vigorous warfare on players who are guilty of using bad language on the field. Most of the men I have suspended this year, said President Lynch yesterday. have been disciplin- ed, not for arguing with the umpires, but for cursing them. Had some of the remarks of the players to the referees been made in the South or West, great trouble would have en- sued.
 T intend to break tip this habit of having players call the arbiters bad names, and I will go to the limit to discipline the next man who offends. 1 also will not stand for umpires talk ing tack to spectators or taking it upon themselves to criticize newspaper men. My attention has been called to the fact that last Thursday on the Polo grounds here. Empires Johnstone end Moran stood in front of the press box and made remarks about the base ball writers. For this breach of the playing rules Johnstone has been fined S25 and Moran $15''

JOHNSON TAKES HIS
 LAST JOY RIDE TILL
 AFTER THE BIG FIGHT
Both Men Are in Grand Shape, Especially Jees Who From
 Now on Will Box Speedy Men Daily
Special from United Press.o

Special from United Press.)
 San Francisco, June 13.-One thing is apparent today to fight fans, and that is Jack Johnson and James J. Jeffries are about as perfectly train ed as any men who ever entered a ring. Both have worked hard and both have reached degree of physi- cal perfection which will make them able to stand a frightful lot of punish ment on July 4.
 From Rowardennan comes word to- day that Jeffries has decided to do a lot of boxing every day from now on. The big fellow has decided that he is physically "fit." and he wants to be sure that his "eye" is right. In other words, Jeff wants to know that when he aims a blow he has so timed his movements that it will land on the spot. Boxing alone will do that for him and while his early fighting has shown that his eye is great the form CT champion intends to take no fur ther chances. Corbett, Armstrong and Choynski will don the mitts with the big fellow every day. It is expected that Corbett will try actually to land on the solar, plexus which is Johnson's favorite blow and Jeff wants to be
