REPEATS THAT TAFT KNEW.
Roosevelt Says the Harvester Suit Was

mel Roosevelt, answering President
Taft's assertion that $50 far as my
recollection goes, / never heard the
harvester trust mentioned in any cabi
net meeting that l attended," in a
statement fatty reiterated that the
president attended a full cabinet meet
ing that discussed the harvester affair
Il clearly remember Mr.. Taft being
present at one such discussion and
taking part in it," was the colonel's
direct rejoinder.
The colonel declared emphatically
that the harvester affair was repeated
ly discussed at length in the cabinet
both before President Taft went abroad
and after he came back and that Mr..
Taft had full information as to the
action taken and could not have failed
to have had. Every important matter
of this kind involving question be-
tween two departments of the admins
tratiOn were always carried out in full
cabinet Mr.. Garfield, Straus, Bona.
parte and Cortelyou have stated that
this particular question was discussed
more than once in full cabinet meet
ing. l clearly remember Mr.. Taft be-
ing present at one such discussion and
taking part in it. If he thought that
the action l took in the harvester case
was in any way inadequate or repre-
hensible, it was his duty when he was
in my cabinet to protest, and it was
even more his duty after he became
president to act at once. The action
which after three years of inaction he
actually tookiast week must have been
taken in collusion with the Lorimer
Democratic senator who introduced the
resolution and could only have been
taken with a view to the effect on the
Massachusetts primaries. Mr.. Taft
has treated this harvester trust ques
ton in a way to show that he sub
ordinates the interest of the people as
a whole to the purpose of securing po
litical advantage for himself"

the players were unable to connect for safe
hits and many opportunities were wasted.
Accidents played large part in the
game, for two Columbia players were

was with difficulty that he was able TO

hit on the left ear by one Of Felton's curves

the accident was that Ferguson was once
on the Harvard nine and came out for
the Columbia team only this year.
When play was resumed Ulrich was
spiked sliding In to second base, but would
not leave the field, and was allowed to con-

Columbia left fielder, in going after Clark s

DOOM SHRINKS FROM KNIFE
Operation Advised, but Manager
of the Phillies Demurs.
TRy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Philadelphia, April l9.-The condition OF
Charley Doom, manager Of the Phillies, Is
so serious that surgeons have advised that
he consent TO an immediate operation.
Doom resolutely says that he will not sub
NIT TO the knife. that his trouble is one
that bothers him frequently Throughout the
season and that he will recover from his
illness as soon as he has a chance to rest.
In New York an operation was advised.
but the peppery little manager would not
submit The club physician brought him
home to- day and wired DR.. John B. Deayer,
the noted surgeon, 10 meet him at Doom
house. After the examination DR.. Deaver
said that the catcher was suffering from
what is known as intussusception of a
twisted bowel. If the kink does not relax
there is danger Of gangrene and an opera
ton would be too late Doom may be
forced TO give in should he grow worse
during the night.
1t was this disease that killed Mike Pow
ers after the opening game of the season
in 1909 and fears are entertained that
Doom because Of his refusal to undergo
the operation may jeopardize his own
chances. Catchers are particularly sus-
ceptible to such a condition, and Doom
admits that after a hard game he some
times suffers intensely because OF the pain
in his side His family want him to sub
NIT to the knife, but he is still firm to-
night in his belief that other measures will
pull him through without surgery
