s. NEW YORK, June 26.-The letter OF
: Col. Roosevelt to the Progressive Ma
! .tional Committee, follows:
\ 'Gentlemen--In accordance with the
message sent to the Progressive Ma.
y tional Convention as soon as l had
received the notification that 1t had
nominated me for president. | now
:, communicate to you my reasons for
{. declining the honor which l so deep
ly appreciate. Since the adjourn
ment Of the convention, have receiv-
= ed between two and three thousand
letters and kilograms from men who
I, had supported me for the nomination,
1.-The majority expressing the desire
y that ! would refuse to run, while a
minority urged that | should accept
: the nomination. AS 1t is physical i'm
possibility to answer these letters and
+ kilograms individually, ] beg of the
courtesy of the senders that they will
accept this public statement in lieu
of such answers"
Mr.. Roosevelt then reviews the
ideals of the Progressive party its
ambitions and aims, and then goes
ON to say:
n This was the situation at the open
ling OF the present year. II was clear
:ly evident that unless a cataclysm oc-
Z Cured the presidential election would
. result in the choice of either the
/ Republican or the Democratic nomi
tnee The present administration, dur
ing its three years Of life, had been
guilty Of shortcomings more signal
than those OF any administration
since the days Of Buchanan. From the
standpoint Of national honor and in
terest, It stood on an even lower level
than the administration of Buchanan.
/, No administration In our history had
done more to relax the spring Of the
national will and to deaden the ma
tional conscience Within the Repub-
lican party conflicting forces were at
work.
Sees Future Duty.
There were men among the or
! ganization leaders who advocated
! course of action such as offered no i'm
! provement upon the Democratic po-
+! sition. and advocated the nomination
l Of candidates whose election would
: have represented no improvement up
on the continuance in office OF Mr..
Wilson II such course were fol-
\ lowed, II would obviously become our
duty to run third ticket. But 1t was
plainly our duty to do everything hon
orable in order to prevent such ne
cessity; to do everything short of sac
r,ficing our most sacred convictions
in order to secure the alignment I'M
der one leadership of the forces op-
posed TO the continuance In power Of
: Mr.. Wilson and the Democratic par
ty."
After reviewing the events leading
up to the Chicago convention, Mr..

at Is urged against Mr., Hughes
that he was supported by the various
so-called German-American Alliances
believe that the attitude of these
professional German.Americans was
due, not in the least to any liking for
tagonism to me. They we're bound to
defeat me fer the nomination. The
only way by which they could achieve
this object was by supporting Mr.
Hughes and they supported him &C
cordingly, without any regard to other
considerations. need hardly repeat
what | have already said in stern
reprobation of this professional Ger.
man-Americ Alliances and the sim.
liar bodies, which have, in the pre-
nomination campaign, played not
merely an un-American but thor,
oughly anti-American part.
These men have nothing in com
mon with the great body Of Ameri-
cans, who are in whole or in part
Of German blood; and who are pre-
cisely as good Americans as those of
any other ancestry. There are not.
and never have been, in all our past
better citizens than the great mass of
the men and women of German birth
or decent who have been or are being
completely merged in our common

No good American, whatever his

those professional German-Americans
who seek to make the American Pres

man-Americans of this type are act
ing purely in the sinister interest Of
Germany. They have shown their
eager readiness to sacrifice the in
terest OF the United States whenever
its interest conflicted with that Of
Germany. They represent that adher.
ence to the politico-racial hyphen
which is the badge and sign of moral
treason to the Republic. I have

Disquiet in Central America.

The Chicago Tribune discusses the attitude
Of our Central American neighbors thus:
The disquiet in Central America is under
standabe. The United States seems to be urged
by impulses which it imperfectly controls and by
conditions which irresistibly call it, to make a
clean sweep down to the Panama canal 1t is not a
matter Of ambition or greed or love of conquest.
The American people, we believe, have no de-
sire to go roaring to the canal violating national
tiles and destroying peoples. Occasionally an
American feels that holding back against forces
bound to control will not work forever. Central
Americans may have the same thought and with
them it would be fear.
If Americans were in the southern Mexican

Coal BarOns Will Play
Central High Tossers

Central High tossers will meet a
new foe tomorrow night in Wilkes
Barre High. The Coal Barons will
come to Harrisburg with a record of
victories, but a style of play that is
said to be all their own. AS an added
attraction the Central girls will play
the Hanover High co-eds.
In the varsity contest an oppor-
tunity will be given Thomas and
Wallower to show their ability against
veterans. Wilkes Barre, it is said,
has won most games on field goals.
Teams played against include college
freshmen and strong Independent
amateur organizations.
In order to have Central in the
best form possible, a special scrim-
mage will be held this afternoon and
tomorrow Every member of the
High School squad will be on the floor.
A victory over Wilkes-Barre will
mean much to Central.
The game between the girls prom
ises an interesting battle. Hanover
has been winning games from all
teams but Central, and the game to-
morrow will be of much importance.
The first game starts at S o'clock.

New York, Feb. 10.-Little of i'm

meeting of the International League
owners at the McAlpin Hotel to-day.
The circuit still is doubtful with only
seven clubs really in line ready to
start the season. Just where the
Jersey City Club will play is not as
ccrtaincd yet. The league controls
the franchise and has not leased it
Yet, although two offers are said to
be in from persons who want to take
over the Harrison plant of the Fed
eral League and play there next sea-

1t was said that IT. Clay Smith, of
Chicago, who has been closely allied
with the American League, is to buy
the Jersey City franchise, place the
club in Newark and elect Jim" Price,
local newspaperman, president of
the outfit.
No salary limit was agreed upon by
the delegates, but it was decided that
the player limit should be raised from
sixteen to seventeen.

Nationals Make Tener
a Car Like johnson

The oratorical proclivities of John
Kinley Tener, president of the Ma
tional League won him a real sceptre
at the annual schedule meeting of the
club presidents of his circuit at the
Waldorf-Astoria yesterday afternoon.
With such effusion and diplomacy did
the former Governor of Pennsylvania
initiate Percy ID. Haughton and
Charles Weeghman, the new club
presidents, into the mystic order that
their case hardened confederates were
thrown into state of mental aberra-
tion. Before they came out of the
trance some rash soul suggested that
their executive should be vested with
all the autocratic powers enjoyed by
Ban b. Johnson of the rival league,
and the motion was passed unani-
mously.
John *. Tener will be the real big
mogul of the National League from
this moment. At one fell swoop the
board of directors the sword of
Damocles that always had hung over
his head - was copper riveted to a
logging chain. A constitutional
amendment provides that henceforth
in the case of protested games the
clubs shall have no right to appeal to
the board of directors from the presi-
dents finding. The National Leagues
presidents word, in short, will be
law.

1t was not all baseball history told
last night at the National League an
niversary banquet. Harrisburg was
represented by George CocEill who is
anxious to pilot another pennant team
in this city. He was in the Metropolis
solely to let the magnates know that
this city was still on the baseball
map.
Baseball clubs that were factors in
the early history of the National
League, played in Harrisburg. Brook
lyn sent team to this city two and
three times each summer. The
Metropolitan team of New York City
was also an attraction in the early
70's. Providence and the High Boys
played a series of games.
Mike F'riel of the Motive Power De-
partment Athletic Association of the
Pennsylvania Railroad is doing double
duty these days. During the day
time he attends to his regular duties.
and at night fills the position of coach
in various branches of athletics.
Mike" has been turning out bowlers
and tug-of-war men. That he knows
his business is proven in the recent
victories by the local teams. He will
soon take up baseball and it is a safe
bet, he will have winning team
again this season.
Harrisburg Elks will bowl against
the Sunbury Elks Saturday night The
match will take place in this city. This
contest is part of the series between
teams representing Elk lodges in Cen
trail Pennsylvania. Up to the present
time Harrisburg has been setting q
fast pace. Between now and the clos
ing of the bowling season there will

be many interesting games at the Elks
home.
The Blue Ridge League is still
fighting over the admission of two
more towns. The controversy back
of the addition of other territory is
mostly over the question of Sunday
baseball. Three clubs want Sunday
games, and three are against 1t. 1t is
said there may be split if Cumber-
land and Frostburg are admitted Just
because Sunday baseball may be play
ed in those towns.
Inquiries have been made as to
what is going to happen with the
Central Pennsylvania League. Off
cials of that organization are silent
when asked if there will be baseball
this summer. 1t is said that New
Cumberland and Steelton are the only
towns Offering any inducements for n
team. Highspire and Middletown, it
is said, are dead to professional base
ball. Hershey lost too much money,
and Lebanon is crazy over the pro-
posed Lawson organization.
There may be a change in the
upper end leagues. The Dauphin-
Perry organization is considering two
plans according to reports. One is
to form a new circuit and admit New
Cumberland and Steelton. Another is
to have two leagues. One organiZa-
tion to include Perry, Juniata and
Miffiin county teams. The other to
take in Dauphin county teams only,
having a circuit of eight clubs, to in
clude Millersburg, Halifax, Dauphin,
Williamstown, Lykens, Harrisburg,
Steelton and Middletown.

No Change in Limit Rule;
Suspension Means No Pay

New York, Feb. 10. - No change
was made yesterday in the rule limit
