local lawyer, who was formerly a star
outfelder with the New York Highland

mitted last night that the rumors Of
activities toward forming a union Of
big league baseball players were true

admitted that members OF the National
League clubs met in his Offices last Sum
day, and that American league players
met secretly in New York two weeks
earlier. All l6 clubs Of the two major
leagues were represented either by per-
son or by proxy, he declared.
There is nothing of trade union
nature about this" said Fultz. THE
players are simply binding themselves
to an organization to which they can
look as sort of protective association
in case they have grievances with the
men who conduct the big league af-
fairs. Under no circumstances will the
organization be affiliated with the Amer
ican Federation of Labor"

turns from one-ffth Of the counties q
the state indicate that the Roosevelt

Roosevelt presidential electors have a

ROOSEVELT AND THE NEGRO.
Believed To Have Been Disposed of By
the Convention Itself.

Chicago, Aug. THE troublesome ne
gro question. which for a time threat
ened dissension was disposed of yester-
day when the convention itself, without
a dissenting voice and without discus
sion, adopted the report of the creden-
tials committee unseating both the white
and negro delegates from Florida and
throwing out the negro delegates from
Mis- sppi.
Colonel Roosevelt, during his "confes-
sion of faith" at the convention this
afternoon, was heckled by spectator
who interrupted with the demand; What
about the negro question:
Instantly the convention was in an up
roar, but Colonel Roosevelt silenced those
of his friends who objected to the qties.
tion with the statement that no one
could ask him question he was afraid
of
The colonel then proceeded at some
length to state his views on the negro
question. He declared he hoped condi-
tions might so improve in the south that
at future progressive conventions those
states might send as delegate negroes
who would have the character and
standing of the negro delegates from
West Virginia who, he asserted, were
in those respects the equal of their white
associates.
In taking the stand he did to bar the
negroes sent from the South as contest
ing delegates to the present convention,
Colonel Roosevelt asserted he was till
ing in advance conditions which led to
"the crushing disaster and death of the
great Republican party itself"
The report OF the credentials commit
tee, unanimously adopted, contained a
resolution recognizing "the constitution
al and inherent right of each and avery
state to determine the qualifications and
manner of election of its delegates to
national conventions
This resolution was regarded as giving
the southern states the right to choose
delegates as the pleased. 1t also was
interpreted as not imposing the direct
primary system upon any of the states
participating in the conventions of the
new party.
