LA TOILETTE
OR ROOSEVELT
Did or Did Not the Colonel
Urge La Toilette to Be-
come Candidate?
AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT
Roosevelt's Sponsors Accuse
La Toilette Managers Of
Falsifying in Matter

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Walter l..
Houser, manager OF Senator La Fol-
lettes campaign, continues to charge
that Col. Roosevelt urged Senator La
Toilette to become a candidate for
the presidency and promised to sup
port him.
This is not true.
SO far as we know every message
or communication sent from Senator
La Follette's headquarters to Col.
Roosevelt. or carried from Col. Roose-
welt to Senator La Follette's head
quarters was made to Mr.. ellison Gard
ner (who has already. in widely
published letter, pointed out that MIR.
Houser's statements are not in ac-
cordance with the fact). or to one Of
us. or in our presence. On every oc-
casion Col. Roosevelt stated clearly
and explicitly that be would not en-
dorse any candidate for the pres.
dency.
Furthermore, Col Roosevelt has at
all times made it perfectly clear that
he would not bind himself to refuse
the nomination, if it were offered to
him. These statements were correct
ly repeated by us to Mr.. Houser at
the La Toilette headquarters. and
there was no possibility of misunder-
standing Mr.. Roosevelt's position.
Mr. Houser has wandered so far
from the facts that he appears to have
forgotten that among Senator La Fol-
lete's supporters and advisers he was
one of the first TO urge that in the in
terest of the Progressive Movement
Senator La Toilette should withdraw
in favor of Col Roosevelt This he
did repeatedly in the presence of
many witnesses.
On the night when Senator La Fol-
lette was starting for his mid-Winter
western trip. Mr. Houser met William
Kent. Clifford Pinchot, Amos Pinchot,
and Medill Mccormick al the latter's
apartment III Washington. He then
stated that in his opinion the only
way to keep the Progressiyes togeth-
er and prevent Taft's nomination was
for La Toilette to abandon his own
candidacy and throw his influence and
his organization to Colonel Roosevelt,
if the Colonel would consent to be.
/ that Senator La Toilette could not go
/ to the Chicago Convention with more
| than corporals guard of delegates
and that he doubted seriously whether

They Simply Deported Lot Of
Foreigners Who Plotted
Against Government
SOUGHT REVOLUTION
Sympathy Wasted on Those
Deported, Who Carried
AwayLots Of Money

If the government will take the
trouble to investigate the aim and
purpose of the |. w. w. movement It
need not be troubled long with any
international question which might
arise over last Sundays doings near
this place. That the |. w. w. organi-
cation is seeking to bring about a rev.
olution in this country, can be
shown beyond any doubt, and it can
be shown by good evidence that the
| Greeks who We're driven from this
city were all members of that order
Surely no country would have the
nerve to demand an apology or in
demnity from another country be-
cause of misuse Of it's subjects when
they were caught red handed in an
act to overthrow the government to
which they have been permitted to
enter and engage in the pursuit of a
livelihood. Had the Greeks ii,in.
in this city not Joined the l. w. w.
BILE. They were the first to create a
riot and the first to lay violent hands
on innocent American citizens. Not
satisfied with this, they attempted the
policy of starving the inhabitants of
this city into administration what?
They never made any demands for
higher wages and when a committee
of citizens waited upon them to as
certain why they refused to work and
why they made the demonstration they
did at the sawmills and why they
threatened the lives of those who re-
fused to join them, they only answer
ed that they could do nothing until
the Aberdeen strike was settled.
Conspre Against Government
1t was a conspiracy pure and SIM
pie, first against the government, as
their literature will clearly show.
and then against the people of this
city in order to force them to aid and
abet their revolutionary designs. The
government took no action, but the
people OF Raymond did, and it was
effective. 1t is now up to the govern
ment to see that this country is not
| buncoed into paying any money to
those people.
Wasted Sympathy.

ing driven out and leaving their fam
lilies without food or funds is the pur-

consin delegation.
On Monday, January 20. al a con
ference at the La Toilette headquart-
erS, Mr.. HoUser repeated these state
ments, in the presence of the under
signed and others. Mr. Houser main
tanned this attitude until, and after
the Periodical Publishers dinner at
Philadelphia, on Friday. February 2
On the following Sunday, at con-
ference OF Senator La Folettes
friends and supports, which included
Senator Bourne, Bristow, Clapp, Rep
resentatives Lenroot, and Mr. Fack-
Ter, the La Toilette manager in Ohio,
Mr. 'Houser agreed with all those who
We're present that Senator La Toilette
must withdraw Immediately.
On Monday, February >, Mr. Houser
in his capacity as campaign manager,
and Col. John Harmon, private secre-
tary to Senator La Toilette, showed
Senator La Toilette a typewriter an
nouncement, in which Senator La Fol
lette not only withdrew from the race
but specifically released his friends
and advised them to go to any candi-
date through whom in their judgment
the Progressive cause would be ad
VOL rviv t,,
Mr.. Houser for delaying the publica.
ton of the announcement was as he
explained, to give little time for
private messages to be sent to the La
Toilette managers so as to give them
an opportunity to transfer their or
ganizations to Col. Roosevelt. Mr.
Houser said the statement would be
made public in the morning papers
The same evening. George l.. Record
in New Jersey, received a long-dis-
tance telephone message from Mr..
Houser stating that Senator La Fol
lette had released his friends and Mr..
Record made an announcement to this
effect at a public meeting where he
was presiding.
The typewriter announcement eX-
hibited at La Follette's headquarters
during that afternoon was not in fact
made public, but another announce
ment was substituted which Mr. Hous-
er told Senator La Follette's friends
should be interpreted as release
During all this period Mr.. Houser
made no secret of his opinion that
Senator La Toilette was entirely out
of the race and that Roosevelt was
the only candidate who could advance
the Progressive cause. 1t was after

RAYMOND APPEARS TO BE
DOWN AND OUT AS GIANT
Says He Has Reformed, But No One Will
Believe Flim-Should Be One of
Games Brightest Stars.

NEW YORK, February 6-'.Bugs
Raymond, the once great pitcher OF the
New York Giants, appears to be down
and out as a major Lacquer. This time
last year he was taking the Keeley cure.
It didn't touch him. He is always peni-
tent at this stage Of the game, but his
pleas will not bring forth any concessions
this time. He still stands-or falls-sus-
pended by the New York club and is in
eligible to play with any club in organized
base ball. He will not be traded.
Says Manager. McGraw: Raymond will
play ball for me or nobody He never
will get chance against team of mine.
I went further, I believe, than any other
manager would have done for him. If
he's no good to me he never will amount
to anything and base ball is better off
without him, because his kind are dis
grace to the game
And so 1t will not be necessary, for Nc
Graw to instruct the victories of Marlin
Springs, where the Giants will train this
spring, to refuse drinks and credit
synonymous in Raymond's case--to the
erring child. Not that Bugs could get
any credit there any more. The point is,
he won't be there.
In fact, Bugs was a great starter but q
poor fnisher. He seldom finished any
thing but a drink He began three sea-
sons with the Giants. full Of hope, prom
ises and temperance vows and ended
them full of dope, remorse and bad booze.
Especially last season, when he ran out

marked McGraw last fall, "for If he had
stuck and pitched the ball that he showed

Tinker said that ne never had found
that Coombs was particularly hard to
bat, and was SO complimentary of Nor
decai Brown that he declared he always
felt as If the Chicagos had five infielders
in the game when the three fingered
marvel was pitching for the Cubs.
-Tinker's high praise Of Mathewson is
the moe remarkable in view of the fact
that the little shortstop more than once
than any player on the Chicago team.
Joe" also called attention to the fact
which is occasionally oyerlooked-that
Mathewson would have a better record
against Chicago than he has were 1t not
for the fact that he has lost some very
tight games when playing with the Cubs
because Of errors behind him.
Speaking Of the good fielding done by
pitchers in major league games. attention
may be called to the fact that Walsh and
Mathewson were the only major league
pitchers In 1911 who made more than loo
assists. Walsh in his games In the Amer
lean League had 159. giving some notion
OF how often the ball is chopped to him,
because the batters hit the "spitbalp' on
top and knock it down. while Mathewson
had LOT assists In the National League
and never used .'spitbail''
Any one who will take the trouble to
lock over Mathewson's record since he
has been In the National League will find
that he Is one Of the greatest fieldine
pitchers In the history OF the sport. Two

Raymond has cost the New York club
many thousand dollars besides his sal
ary. He probably has been fined more
than any man that ever played ball. His
fines In New York one season amounted
to $500 before he quit in early fall. The
club never permitted him to have much
money, and his salary and fines were
sent to his wife In Chicago

BY ], ED GRILLo.

Manager Griffith is to make one more
effort to add an in an outfielder to his
present string Of players, and with this
schedule meeting of the American League
to be held In Chicago February IA.
.Grifith feels that he Is none too well
fortified in either the infield or outfield
and his chances would look better to him
II he could secure couple of players
for these positions. There are a num-
Der of promising youngsters on the roster
of the other clubs who may be slated to
be returned to the minors and Griffith
figures that IL he is on the ground dur
ing the gathering of the club owners
and managers at Chicago it might be pos
sible to secure the players he figures he
needs
Griffith made UP his mind some time
ago that it would be useless for him
TO attend the meeting, but he has chang
ed his mind about it now that he sees a
chance to pick up player or two.
President NoyeS Will also attend the
meeting. The principal object of his going
will be to offer a resolution compelling
every club to have clubhouse for visit
ing teams, so travelling teams can dress
at the various parks. This was originally
proposed by Manager Griffith, and that
Ban johnson thinks well of the plan is
evidenced by the fact that he has asked
President Noyes to offer the resolution
covering the innovation.
Fred Fitzgerald, the new groundkeeper
Of the local club, came over from Phila-
delphia this morning and, together with
Manager Griffith, inspected the ball park.
Fitzgerald will not take charge here I'M
til later in the month, when the frost
is out of the ground and it Is possible
for him to make such changes in the
playing field as Griffith deems necessary.

Rough, Hard Hitter.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, February CATER two
and a half years Of hard work In the
ring, where he has either conquered or
drawn with practically all the best Sec
ond raters. Kid Burns, fearless young
boxer, actually believes he can defeat
Packey Mcfarland in the widely dis
cussed ten-round bout at the Fairmont
A. c. tonight. Burns has a following on
the West Side. Some Of these enthusi-
astic friends are convinced that their
hero can whip any man Of his weight
and inches in the world. 1t Is q waste
of time to argue with them. for they will
not listen to persons who have figured
it out that McF'arland's wonderful skill
will make Burns look as helpless as other
ambitious boxers, including Tommy Muir
ply. Owen Moran, Jack Goodman and
Leach Cross, who have vafnly tried to
hold their own with the Chicago wizard
|. Burns is not light-footed level
headed boxer. On the contrary he Is a
rough and ready slugger of remarkable
strength, who bOres in with a never-ceas-
ing attack. and cares little or nothing for
punishment He intends to go after Nc
Farland from the first sound of the gong,
and as the bout will be decided in q ring

boxer to escape his heavy assaults. It Is
conceded that Burns can hit harder than
Mcfarland. and 1t Is also true that he
will have at least five pounds the better

he says there is no reason why he should
not keep as close to Mcfarland as pos
sible, and by employing such tactics he
is confident OF landing decisive punch.
Packey is not inclined to belittle Burns

for the bout. His plan Of action is the

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, February g.
An ambitious expedition is being planned
by athletes Of the Pacific coast. The trip
will include an invasion Of the Hawaiian
Islands during the months Of March and
April, where a series Of base ball and
athletic games will be held. The tenta-
tive arrangements now under considera-
ton call for the inclusion Of the Olympic
base ball team and a number Of track
and field athletes. The base ball squad
will contain enough men to furnish two
mines when native teams are not avail
able.
The athletic aggregation will In all prob
ability include a number Of athletes who
are already in training for the Olympic
games at Stockholm next summer. The
Olympic Athletic Club has granted the
members Of the track sQuad permission

MAY CHANGE RULES.
Ball Players May Not Use Such Big
SPIKES.

NEW YORK, February 6.-When the
rules committee Of the National League
meets In this city February Is it is likely
that some action viii be taken to change
the size Of the rubber slab on which the
pitcher stands when he delivers the ball
The committee is composed Of John
Ward. chairman: Manager Roger Bres-
nahan of st. Louis and the veteran UNI
pire. Robert Emslie. Another important
change which Mr.. Ward will try to put
through is to reduce the size Of the
spikes worn by ball players.
Mr. Ward believes the spikes nowadays
are entirely too large. He says that when
he was playing ball they were only hall
as big, and were just as effective. He
refers to the long shining spikes or
players shoes nowadays as ''murderous'
Every year there is protest against
spikes. Two years ago it was Ty Cobt
who was accused Of using them careless.

in the worlds series Snodgrass of the

Griffith yesterday Ainsmith says that

he proposes to do such good work this
year that Griffith will be forced to give
him a substantial increase in salary
next spring, to all of which Griffith
says amen.
It is not unlikely that Jack Flynn
will accompany the first squad to
Charlottesville. The young first base
man will be here before the squad
leaves here and 1t is not likely that
he will want to remain here and wait
for the regulars to start south. Man
ager Griffith yesterday sent out notices
to all his players ordering them to re-

pitchers excepting Walter Johnson,
