is one of the most signIhcent

that these two associations will
get together. In fact they are to-

thing except the details. We feel
that the growers. not only of the
Grand Valley but of the entire
Western Slope. will welcome our
advent into business as one con.

the Western Slope companies

This is consolidation that has

Dear Mr.. Roosevelt:
Ever since the election of 1904,
the story has been continuously
published and never denied, ex-
cept by you, that you asked (.
II. Hartman to contributed $780,
900 to the national committee
fund.- Knowing this TO be un-
true, | several times suggested to
my superior officer, c. n Bliss.
then treasurer OF the national
committee, that the facts in the
case be plainly stated.
Mr.. Bliss always believed that
the books and accounts OF the
national committee were private
and. elthough always carried on
by him with the highest sense of
integrity and honor, he never,
like all of his contemporaries
would consent to any publicity.
This feeling has been changed in
the last few years by the laws re
quiring tull publicity in elections.

now. in justice to you. the facts in
the case ought to be known.
STATE TICKET IN DANGER
Everyone knew and conceded
that in the election of lasI you
would carry the state OF New
York by large plurality, but it
was generally believed that Mr..
Higgins would be defeated. The
democrats conferred their efforts
on the election of their candidate
for governor.
About a week before the cleo
ton. Mr. Odell. then chairman of
the New York state committee,
came to Mr.. Bliss and told him
that unless he had S250.000 from
the National committee the state
ticket would be defeated. Mr..
Bliss told Chairman Odell that he
had no money to give, but would
see what could be done. He Wis
tied +. II. Hartman at his Office
and explained to him the urgency
of the situation as told by Mr..
Odell.

led up several of his friends on

Browns Outhit Rivals, But Are
Beaten, 5 to 3.
WALLACE Is BLAMED
Failure to Take Advantage of Condi-
lions Prevents Americans
From Winning.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 1.-Roger Bres-
nahan's Cardinals again humbled Bobby
Wallace's Browns in the second game of
the spring series. The count today was
to B.
The Brownies outhit their adversaries
almost two to one. but because of what
seemed mental errors on Manager Wal
lace's part the American Leaguers were
trounced The game was replete with
brilliant plays, the Cardinals turning a
few that had horseshoes on them. The
fact is, luck broke with the Cardinals
throughout the battle. An error by
Cardinal was followed with phenomenal
stop, an error by the Browns WAS usu-
ally followed by another and a hit, bingo,
a. run. Manager Wallace trotted out his
famed southpaw recruit, Lefty George.
Lefty is some wizard. For four innings
he wfipsawed the Cardinals down with
out even a good foul. Then the TUCK
broke against him. In the fifth, with TWO
gone and Cakes on second. Hugglns MT
at a wild pitch and got a two Dagger TO
left center, scoring Cakes.
Ellis followed with a single to right,
and another run came in Another tallE
in the sixth, Rooney walked, went to
third on Evans double to center, which
Hoffman misjudged, and scored on Bliss
sacrifice fly. Harmon tried to dodge a
fast one in the seventh and got single
to center. Higgins walked and Ellis
sacrificed. with the fans yelling to Wal
over and the big train whaled a double
to right, Harmon and Higgins count
ing The debutante Brownies had a big
day. Williams opened the fourth with a
triple and scored on Hoffmans sacrifice
fly. Jimmy Murray hit the clubhouse for
home run in the eighth. Williams fol-
lowed with a single and Hoffman came
through with double, scoring Big Gus.
Then Newman raised to Ellis, MOwrey
chucked out Wallace, while Austin lined
to Cakes.
Wallace Is Blamed.
Wallace played bad ball at times He
should have passed Honey in the
seventh, and he should have sent Crisis
up to hit for TruesdaIe in the same
round. Three being on, with two gone
in the seventh, with TruesdaIe next
up, it looked like the play to use Crisis,
for the big boy finally got a chance
in the ninth and hit the first bali
pitched for single. Anyhow, Trues-
dale hit a dinky roller that collided
with George and the rally was nipped.
Lefty George is some pitcher. though
it is hard to tell whether Lefty will
throw to- first or home. He had the
Cardinals going back every time he let
go for the plate, and although two
bases were stolen, these may be charged
to Mig Clarke. Jimmy Austin made
his deput. and likewise few miscues.
Jimmy's arm is still bad. Frank La
Porte is ailing with bad underpinnings.
Toe Lake worked nine innings last
Saturday, and complains of lame back
Hence, it's no surprise that the
Cardinals copied. But the Browns did
not play smart ball. and the fans told
them so.
