The Banking Committee was in
formed by an administration spokesman
today that President Roosevelt favored
the provision under which the sale OF
bond and stock Issues could be halted
on evidence of Misrepresentation.
Ollie NJ Butler, an attorney OF the
Commerce Department, who had hand
in preparing the bill, and has been ex-
planning it to the congressional COM
mittees, told the Senators he was au-
thorized to assert the Presidents stand.
Replying to widespread criticism OF
the clause which gives the Federal
Trade Commission the right to revoke
registrations of securities in case OF
Misrepresentation and for other causes,
Butler said:
"I am authorized to say that the
President Is In favor of the idea OF rev.
ocation as expressed in section 6, page
II. House bill No. 4314; that he did not
attempt to or intend his message to
Congress to cover any more than the
general statement regarding the bill"
Because Of the attack on this clause,
Butler said, Huston Thompson, former
commission chairman and one OF the
trainers of the bill, obtained the state
ment from Mr.. Roosevelt explaining his
position.

RED KILLEFER
 PURCHASES LEE

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 3. Dudley Lee, thirty one year old left-handed shortstop with 1892 batting average of .271, has been purchased from the Hollywood baseball club of the Pacific Coast League it was announced here by Wade C'Red') Killefer, manager of the Indianapolis club of the American Association.
 Lee formerly played with the St. Louis Browns and the Boston Red Sox.
 Killifer said that Lee would be used to bolster up the defensive strength of the Indians which was woefully lacking in the 1882 cam paign. Lee played fine defensive game in 163 Coast games last year and figured in numerous double plays which was one of the weak nesses of the Indians.
 The purchase of Lee marked the third important deal made by Manager Killifer. Pitcher Archie Campbell was traded for Jim Tur- ner, a big right-hander, in one swap and Doug Taitt, outfielder, was traded for Marty Callaghan, also a fly chaser, in another.

 The first game will be played this evening, the second tomorrow evening, and if a third game is necessary it will be played Mon day.

Risey, Starting 2lst Year
 In Majors, Asks More Work

CINCINNATI, March 3-Eppa Rixey-Colonel Rixey c Culpepper va.-is co11.ng out for his twenty first year of major league base ball, complaining only that the powers that be do not give him enough work to do.
 There are indications, however, that his complaint will not be valid for long, once the Cincinnati Reds get the season under way. There are rumors that Donie Bush is counting heavily on Eppa's long left arm to pull the Reds up from the bottom.
 If that is SO Rixey will be satis- fled. He complained bitterly last year that he was sent to the mound so seldom. He felt that regular work would help hold his own with the youngsters thronging the bull pens now.
 So 1883 may be a comeback year for the lanky Virginian, even though he is 42 years old.
 Straight From College
 Eppa has been with the Reds since 1921. For nine years before that he was with the Philadelphia National leaguers. He is one of the few to break directly into baseball's "big time,' for he went with the Phillies in 1912 straight from the University of Virginia.
 In all his baseball years he has played with only two clubs, and has never been in minor league.
 To Cincinnati, Rixey is an insti- tuition. For one thing, he is six feet, five inches tail and weighs 210 pounds-quite a monumental piece of work.
 For another, it is so widely known that he hates to lose. Again, he is always ready to give the young fellows hand They listen, too, for in Eppa's 20-year record in the majors he has won 26O games, Host 248 and struck out 1,340 men. Giants Plagued Him
 Around such a veteran. of course, there are innumerable stories. The New York Giants used to plague him by whistling M archin g Through Georgia" a tune he de- tests, until he beat them soundly one day.
 Neighbors rode home with him in fear whenever the Reds lost a game. Eppa lived in a suburb, and the road home was a winding one. But he would drive through as if
