COURT OF APPEALS AFFIRMS
 DECISION IN KILLIFER CASE
Ruling of Judge Sessions Refusing Grant Fedeals nunc
 ton Against Kilfer Is Sustained By Court of Appeals

Cincinnati. June SO.-The United States circuit court of appeals here to- day affirmed the decision of United States District Judge Sessions in the case of Catcher William H. Killifer, Jr Judge Sessions had refused to grant an injunstion asked for by the Chicago Federal league club restraining Killi- fer from playing with the Philadelphia National league club, and the case had been appealed.
 The opinion of the appellate court, rendered by Judges Warrington, Den ison and Futile, follows:
 We are led to agree with the view of Judge Sessions that the complain ants suit could not be sustained under the maxim. He who comes into the court of equity must come with clean hands and the application of this rule derives additional force from the req sons he stated and the authorities he cited. On the whole. 1t Is vain to urge that the learned trial judge abused his discretion.

 The Vols are leading the league in hit ting. With Dave Callahan, King, Otto Williams, Paulette and Sloan batting at fast clip, Bill Schwartz boasts of a wonderful offensive machine. The weak ness of the club lies in the pitching staff, composed of Heinie Berger, Forest More, Earl Renfer, Bernie Roland and Floyd Kroh. Report has it that Schwartz is negotiating with a big league club for another twirler. In Hemingway, the third sacker, the "boy manager" believes he has one of the likeliest youngsters in the league.
 Forest More, usually strong against Bir- mingham, is slated to oppose either Hard- grove or Curley Brown this afternoon.

I received from him, in reply the fol- | lowing letter:
 My Dear Senator Penrose: IJpon my word. of all phenomenal returns | the returns from Pennsylvania are most
 phenomenal congratulate and cor dially thank you Faithfully vours Theodore Roosevelt
 Tn fact, during the whole period of MT. Roosevelts presidency. my term With him were cordial. I co-operated With him in nearly all of his policies and when certain potential elements in the republican party were plotting to defeat MT. Roosevelt for the nomina-
 tion in 1904, I as chairman of the re- publican state committee of Pennsylva. nia, was most active in having him indorsed for nomination and election in our state.
 Exercised Privilege I am further informed that MT 1 Roosevelt refers to the fact that T opposed him for nomination at the re- publican national convention in 1912
 and I take 1t that this is the real req son for his change of attitude I ex- ercised my privilege to use my own Judgment as to what course I should follow in the presidential contest. pursued the course I considered to be to the advantage of the republican party and the people of Pennsylvania, MT. Roosevelt had assured in the most positive terms that his ambition had been fully satisfied and that under no circumstances would he ever be a can didate again for the presidency. He as-
 sured many members of the United States Senate and prominent republf-
 cans from all over the country to the same effect.
 1 Tn the republican national conven- | tion, MT. Roosevelt at no time had a
 majority of the convention. The rules
 under which the convention acted were precisely the rules which MT Roosevelt
 had insisted on in the national conven- | tfon of 1908. It will be recalled that
 Mfr. Roosebelt had absolutely named MT. | Taft for the presidency. Whether MT. Roosevelt considers this an act of boss ism or not I do not know. But, to me, | at the time it seemed the most offen- l sive act of bossism that could be per- petrated in American politics. Delegates Thrown Out Tn 1903, in the convention of which am speaking, MT. Roosevelt through a cabinet officer who was in full ! charge and in hourly communication | with the White House. insisted on de- feating any rule proposed to alter the system of southern representation. Delegates elected for Fairbanks were ruthlesly thrown out. All other con-
 tests of delegates opposed to MT. Taft were treated in about as cold-blooded a way as I ever witnessed. The con- vention nominated MT. Taft.
 "When the convention of 1912 came around the convention was called on to. organize under the rules which MT. Roosevelt had forced on othe party against my protest, and that of my re- publican associates four years previous. A large number of purely fake con- tests were gotten up at the last mo-
 ment, after MT. Roosevelt had reached
 his belated determination to become a | candidate, from the southern states "The motives ascribed to me by Mir. Roosevelt to the effect that my course was dictated by any desire to share in the control of the republican party, even at the risk of party defeat, are too silly for me to give serious con sideration.'

 Sketches Progressive Idea
 In conclusion the colonel sketches the progressive idea of needed antitrust regulation by properly empowered commissions, contrasting such propos- als with Legislation now pending at Washington, which he declared woeful- ly inadequate. Such programme alone, he contended proved the in- adequacy of the democratic party. Tt is and always will be-" he said, the snte's rights party, the party afraid of power"
 Colonel Roosevelt came here to speak in support of the candidacy of Dean Lewis for governor and of Clifford Pin chot for United States senator.
 "The present national administra- tion," he said, in part, lis pursuing a course that prevents the existence of prosperity and that does not offer a single serious or intelligfble plan for passing prosperity round should pros perity, in spite of the administrations s efforts. at some future time return to our people.
 This is true both as regards the trust and the tariff questions. As regards both, the only wise course to follow is that set forth In the national progressive platform. The nation should deal with both by continuing legislative action
 
 ample power. One commission should shape our tariff policies so as, with 8hprough knowledge disinterestedly ac- d'iired, to give proper encouragement to our merchants while also giving proper protection to our wageworkers, our farm CTS and our business men. The other commission should exercise strict super vision and control over big business. We should treat it with entire justice, draY- ing the line not on size, but on miscon- duct.
 Rakes Up Promises
 As regards the tariff. l especially call your attention to the promises made by President Wilson and his supporters two years ago. They asserted their method of tariff reduction would reduce the cost of living and thus solve the trust ques- tion because, as they said, the trusts were the creatures of the tariff. We then answered that their promises were empty words, that no such results could or would follow from the course they advocated. Two short years have proved us to be right Their promises have not been kept. Their performance has brought distress upon the nation. The cnst of living has not been reduced. But the ability of the average man to earn a living has been greatly reduced. Not the slightest progress has been made toward solving the trust question. But the business community has been har- rassed and harried to no purpose, and the prosperity of the business man has been Achecked. exactly as the prosperity of he farmer and the wageworker has been hecked. As for the farmer, the present Administration tariff was so framed as 10 result in the sacrifice of his interests As for the wageworker the result of he tariff was that he suffered even more

In two minor leagues last season he proved sensational hit ter. lie led the Mountain Valley league in batting out home runs.
 Gilks believes that he has lost the two other players, who were to be se- cured through Cleveland. So far he has heard nothing concerning them.
