INTERNATIONAL. LEAGUE MAY ii
BREAK WITH THE MAJORS

A break between tho International
League and tn major organizations
now seems inevitable. Clubs In the
lea que are fast becoming tired Of hav-
ing their stars taken away from them
around the middle OF the season and
crippling their chances for q pennanf.
and when the moguis of tho Glass "A
organisation hold their annual meet
ing in New York city this fall they
will doubtless take some action with
reference to the matter.
According to President Alvin NJ.
Smith, Richmond Is already through
with the major leagues. After this
season the local club will not take
any of the players from either the
American or National League unless
they can be bought outright and with
no strings attached.
The virginians will suffer when

It 10 the same way every year. Few
OF tho big league clubs will send q

day clause, which means that the
players can be recalled with i've days

years young Saturday.
At her home in Cartersville she cell
ebrated her birthday, while friends
throughout Georgia wished hel
many happy returns for there is no
more beloved woman in the state than
this gentle old lazy who is still so
alert of mind and so young of heart,
despite her great age.
Last week she was in Milledgeville

Georgia Normal and Industrial college,
where she has a granddaughter, Miss
Annie FELTON,, who will graduate in 1871,
lust sixty-five years later than the date
on which Mrs. FELTON, graduated from

Mrs. FELTON, made a speech TO the lS4

Mrs FELTON, was born in Dehalh

from Madison Female college in the
class of 1852, and the following year
was married to DIR. w. II. FELTON,, who
died on September "a, 1909, at the aGe
of eighty-six years.
Probably no woman of Georgia has
achieved greater prominence than Mrs
FELTON,. At the great exposition held II

T.R. Is Silent

OYSTER BAY, y. Y, June 10
When Colonel Roosevelt summoned
the newspaper correspondents to
Sycamore Hill at o'clock tonight
TO tell them he had tentatively re-
fused the Progressive nomination
for the presidency, he had nothing
to add to what he had said in his
telegram to the convention at Chi
cago i'm regard to his present posi-
ton.
He told something. however, of
the steps which led up to his mes
sage early i'm the day suggesting
that Progressives and Republicans
unite upon Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge as a compromise candidate.
At o'clock this morning, he said,
one Republican and two Progress
sive conferees on the joint con-
ference committee called him over
the long distance telephone to eX-
plain the situation as it then stood.
Colonel Roosevelt informed them
at that time, he declared, that
he intended to suggest the joint
nomination of Senator Lodge. All
three conferees, he said. seemed at
that time to be agreed that such
a step would be satisfactory. He
declined to name the Republican
member of the committee other
than to say he had been a sup
porter OF Justice Hughes.
Colonel Roosevelt sent his tele-
gram of refusal TO the Progressives
before he had read Justice Hughes
statement. Later when asked If he
had any comment to make on the
Hughes statement, he replied:
Not a word, not a word, about
anything"
Colonel Roosevelt said he prob
ably would have no further state
ment to make until after the Pro-
Eressive national committee gets
together to determine what attitude
il will assume in regard to Justice
Hughes candidacy or learns some
thing further I'm regard TO the Re.
publican nominees position on the
questions Colonel Roosevelt consld-
ers the most important now before
the country.
After he had ended his talk with
the correspondents, Colonel Roose-
Welt was asked by a photographer
TO step out on the lawn that a new
picture might be taken of him.
NO picture the Colonel stated
emphatically. Il am out of poll
ties
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1916-06-13

some still think, that he will never give
his support to Hughes.
Respecting Roosevelt's attitude to-
ward the Progressive nomination and
toward Hughes candidacy there is 4
strong impression in Chicago that either
horn of the dilema the Colonel takes
will rebound to the benefit of the Demo-
Gratis in the approaching election. If.
for instance. he adopts the course that
Il is believed he will follow, and sup
ports Hughes. he will ALLEVIATE the Ger
man American vote, and help to elect
the Democratic nominee; If, on the other
hand, he withholds his support of Hughes
and accepts the Progressive nomination,
he will contribute to the Republican
disaster Just as he did i'm 1912.
The only course Roosevelt can take
that will not help the Democrats is the
middle of the road. Can you imagine
Roosevelt in an attitude of neutrality?

Roosevelt Communication
Suggesting Senator lodge

CHICAGO. June 10.-The following
communication from Colonel Roosevelt
was read by Mr.. Perkins TO the Pro
grsssive convention and Senator Smoot
to the Republican convention today.
To the conferees of the Progressive
party;
Gentlemen: [ understand that this
morning YOU are TO have your last con-
ference with the cOnferees of the Re-
publican national convention, that they
have repeatedly asked you to present for
their consideration a second choice, but
that YOUR committee has not seen its
way clear 10 do this.
For months I have thought OF this
matter. and for the last few weeks II
has been the chief thing Of which 7
have thought as I feel with all my
heart that IT is the imperative duty Of
all OF US who wish to Sc our country
restored to the position she should hold
to sink minor differences and come to-
gether IL by any possibility We can find
a common standing ground. The day
before yesterday in my telegram 10
Senator Jackson said, Can We not, for
getting past differences, now join for
the safety and honor of our country to
enforce the policies of genuine Ameri-
canism and genuine preparhdnes
Surely We can afford to act in accord
ance with the words of Abraham Lin
coin. when he said MAY not all having
a common interest reunite In a common
effort to save our common country? May
we ask those who have not differed with
US to Join in the same spirit toward
those who have?' AS far as my -0'il
Is known to me it is i'm this same spirit
that at this time l make my appeal to

sinner, and for whose arrest they held
q warrant.
ToIbert was unaImed and while Cur
