by the Roosevelt committeeman at

was answered In discussing the
charge, the report said;
.sGrOssly and MaIiciOusly Untrue"
The statement as whole in its
insinuatiOns OF combination OF IN
worthy motive, in its recital of alleged
facts, is grossly and maliciously IN
true. It was intended TO convey the
impression that the time for hearing
cases was so limited as to prevent
their being properly presented to the
committee. The untruthfulness OF
this statement is clearly shown by the
records of the committee and the
newspaper reports Of its deliberations
Not only did the rules make liberal
provision for time in presenting the
cases, but in every instance where the
parties presenting the cases, OF any
member of the committee, asked for
an extension Of time, it was granted
The statement Of the Roosevelt mem
bers of the committee asserted that
the speed with which the credentials
committee brought in reports made It
evident that the reports had been pre-
pared beforehand In reply to this
statement the appendix to the white
house statement said
In regard to the assertion that re-
ports were prepared in advance Of the
no one of the gentlemen who makes
this statement will state of his own
personal knowledge that any reports

In concluding. the majority Of the

decisions, said.
'As to the merits of these contested

TAFT'S COMMITTEE
REVIEWS CONTESTS
A Lengthy Statement, APP
proved by President. Is
sued from White House.

Washington, D. C.. July "a state
ment, approved by president Taft. de-
Tending his nomination by the Chi
cago convention, was made public at
| the white house today It review S
every contest before the Republican
national committee and the credentials
committee of the convention and as
serts that each contest was settled
logically, upon its merits. The state
ment was submitted to the cabinet at
a recent meeting and received the ap-
proval of the presidents official fam
fly.
The statement which is a lengthy
document of IA printed pages. is a
detailed denial Of the charge that the
denomination of president Taft was ac-
complished by the seating of fraudu-
lently elected delegates to the conven-
ton. 1t takes up individually the 2SS
contests instituted by the Roosevelt
forces against Taft delegates who were
seated, and presents evidence in each
of these cases to show that the Taft
delegates were regularly elected
a resume of the statement, prepared
by Charles D. Hilles. formerly presi-
y
man Of the Republican national COM
mittee, takes up each contest briefly
This resume opens with the declara-
ton that the Roosevelt contests, as
originally filed before the national
committee, were not instituted in good
faith.
The total number OF delegates sum
moned to the convention, says the re-
sumo, was LOIS, with $40 necessary
to a choice. Mr.. Taft had SCI votes
declared the nominee There were in
stituted against 23S of the delegates
regularly elected for Taft, contests on
behalf of Roosevelt These contests
were avowedly instigated, not for the
purpose OF really securing seats in the
convention, not for the purpose of ad-
ducing evidence which would lead any
respectable court to entertain the con-
tests, but for the purpose of deceiving
the public into the belief that Mr.
Roosevelt had more votes than he
really had, as the conventions and
primaries were in progress for the Sc
lection of delegates. The 23S contests
were reduced by abandonment, formal
or in substance, to "a. The very fact
Of these 1874 frivolous contests itself
reflects upon the genuineness and
validity of the remainder"
The resume then enumerates the
contests, and reviews the arguments
in each case. The review of the evil
dence in the contests embraced in the
white house statement is certified to
by Victor Rosewater. chairman of the
national committee, and Thomas H.
Devi e chairman of the credentials
committee. AS an appendix. the state
ment carries in detail the vote in the
national comittee on each of the con-
tests, and a statement of the dates Of
the Taft and Roosevelt conventions in
contested states The object of the
latter is to show that the Roosevelt
delegates were chosen after the regu-
lar conventions had named Taft rep
resentatives.

WALTER JOHNSON
PERFECT PITCHER,
SAYS AN UMPIRE

Walter Johnson is today perfect

pires Of the American league, IN dis
cussing the Washington marvel. II
YOU could have a hurler made 20 order
you couldn't design one who would be
q bit more effective than the big
SFede. whose name is q terror TO the
best batsmen in the country.
johnson isn't using his terrific
tpeed much nowadays. In fact, he seldom
cuts one loose with all his might IN
less he happens to be IN a tight place
and opposed to a hitter who Is weak
on fast ones. He throws a lot of fast
balls with a break on them still, but
they are not of the old armor-piercing
type that made him famous.
AT one time he had TO depend al
most entirely on the velocity Of his
ball and his control to make him for
raidable but now he has acquired a
good curve and a nice change of pace.
For some time he has been expert
netting with slow ball, and now he
has got command of it Think of the
deadly efficiency of { slow one coming
after a ball that has been turned
through a mile a minute.
walters curve is not the widest IN
the world, but il is a quick one, and
the break plenty large enough TO &C
complish the desired purpose HIS
control, which has always been good,
seems to be improving.
"On top of this he has a splendid
disposition for a pitcher Nothing
seems to rattle him. Some pitchers
get up in the air if they think an UNI
pire has missed a strike in a pinch. but
Walter Just smiles, knowing that he
can lay the next one over II ne has

pitcher in the game today, and to my
mind there never lived one who was
any better AS near as any human
being can hope to achieve in any line
