esting enthusiasts most is the one to-
morrow afternoon on the Roundup
diamond between Garrett's Irish and
Dutch teams. The eighteen men in
the fray will constitute the squad
from which the twelve regular men of
the Pendleton Tri-state team will be
and as much will depend up
on the showing made in the contest
tomorrow, each one of them will be
putting his best foot forward,
All ARE i'm fine condition and the
practices which have been held twice
daily for the past two weeks have
been of great benefit to all so that
the management feels same in guar
anteeing a fine article of ball. The
regular league schedule opens week
from Monday and it behooves each
manager to make his final selection
OF men so that the finishing touches
can be put on the team work.
The Adams ball clouters are this
afternoon trying to lift the scalps of
the Buckarooes and a good sprink-
ling of fans is on hand to see the war
fare. The game did not start until
about 8, consequently nothing is
available on it at press time.

Former President HurIs vitroIic voey at His Poll
ticai Protege and Successor
SAYS OPPONENT BIT THE HAND THAT FED HIM
Also Declares Chief Executive Shows No Self Respect
When Claiming Charges Made Are Done So With
Great Pain

Boston, April 27.-Thousands Of
thoroughly aroused voters of Boston
await eagerly the speech of Colonel
Roosevelt here tonight in which he
is expected to repeat his Worchester
attack on President Taft
In his speech last night, Colonel
Roosevelt said:
when Mr.. Taft said that l have
endeavored to minimize the import
ance of my Columbus speech, he says
what he must know to be untrue; he
cannot have ready my Carnegie hall
speech, my speech at ST. Louis, my
Philadelphia and Pittsburg and Louis
willie speeches without knowing that
have elaborated and emphasized
what / said at Columbus.
Will Not Answer Personalities.
again when Mr.. Taft in any speech
speaks of me directly or obliquely as
a neurotic or a demagogue, or in SIM
liar terms, / shall say nothing except
that to point out that If he is obliged
to use such language he had better
preserve his self respect by not pro-
testing that It gives him pain to DO
so. No man resorts to epithets IKE
these If it really gives him pain to use
them.
"I have never alluded to him in
terms even remotely resembling these.
[ have never quoted his private letters
or private communications. have
discussed exclusively his public ac-
tions Even where l was obliged to be
severe, 1 was always parliamentary
and never hypocritical.
Nor do l intend to deviate from
this standard, although the presidents
speech makes it necessary for me TO
speak plainly on certain subjects than
1 have yet spoken"
Defines Political Boss.
Colonel Roosevelt defined the po-
litical boss "as the man responsible
for the alliance between crooked poll
tics and crooked business which has
been responsible for nine-tenths OF
corruption of American political life.
IF there is any such man among my
supporters" he continued, II do not
know him
"Mr. Taft said yesterday that never
in thought or deed had he been dis
loyal in his friendship for me. 1t is
hard for me to answer such state
ment by calling it the grossest hypoc-
ricy.
"The assaults upon me by Mr. TART
campaign managers made in Wash
ington, under Mr. Taft's very eyes,
have been foul to the verge of inde-
cency. But remember, 1 am not COM
planning of these things; l care moth
ing for Mr.. Taft's personal attitude
l allude to it only in passing and
merely because Mr.. Taft lays such en-
phasis on the matter.
Federal office Holder Support.
Mr.. Taft says that the influence OF
federal office holders in the Chicago
this year will be less effective for any
one candidate than ever before in the
history of the party. This Is not only
an untruth but 1t is an absurd un'
truth. Never in thirty years close OBJ
servation have seen such scandalouS
abuse of the patronage as this year.
The Third Term.
Turning to resident Taft's state
ment in regard to third term, Col
onel Roosevelt declared that the dan
ger lay in more than two consecutive

INJUNCTION AGAINST warren COMPANY NAY
HOLD-UP Street PAVING AFTER THIS EVENING

Charging that the dust from the
Warren company's paving plant across

able and that the company officials
have failed to make proper redress
for the damage inflicted, an injunc-
tion Is threatened against the COM
pany by Norbourne Berkeley, whose
residence is directly across the street
from the plant.
In the proceedings the Berkeleys
are represented by Col. ]. II. Raley.
Mr.. Berkeley himself is in Chicago

has been ordered by Mrs. Berkeley
with much regret. In discussing the

tive terms which might afford oppor
tunity for the opportunity to en-
trench himself in power,
Mr.. Taft, without my permission"
he continued, "has quoted entire let
ters from me written in answer to
letters of his which were marked
confidential / shall SO far avail my
self of his example as to quote four
lines of letter from him to me, which
was not marked confidential. 1t was
written shortly after he became pres
ident. 1t runs:
81 can never forget that the power
/ now exercise was voluntarily trans
ferred from you to me, and that 1 am
under obligation to you to see to it
that your judgment in designating me
as your successor and bringing about
success shall be vindicated, according
to the standard which you and 1 in
conversation have always formulated. -
1T is a bad trait to bite the hand
that feeds you.
81 do not think Mr.. Taft means i'll;
| think. he means well. But he means
well feebly and in his administration
he has been under the influence of
men who are not well meaning nor
feeble. 1t is this quality of feeble
ness in normally amiable man which
preeminently fits such a man for use
in high office by the powers of evil"
Before reaching Boston tonight,
Colonel Roosevelt will address voters
at Brockton, Middleboro, Taunton,
New Bedford and Fall River. 1t is
expected he will follow the substance
of his Worchester speech in all these
addresses.

the shade trees surrounding the place.
AS to the company's side of the af-
fair, Superintendent Lonergan today
declared the amount asked in damag-
es for the smoke and dust to be ex-
cessive. He says that IL the injunc-
ton Is granted the company will be
forced to suspend operations tempor-
arily The company is willing how
ever to pay what 1t considers as a rea-
sonable sum for the damage inflicted.
The company is now finishing up
Webb street and would have COM
pleted the work this afternoon had
not the supply of bitumen run low. A
force of men was kept at work most
of the night, probably in anticipation
of obstructive measures by Mr.. Ber-
kelley.

Temple, testified before the Titanic
disaster investigators today that at
