Cincinnati, O., May 20. PreMdent
Taft issued a. Etatement actraslng
Theodore Roosevelt of being a traitor
to his party and of having forfeited
bis right to stand as a candidate In
n Republican convention.
The Taft statement plainly shows
that the president believes Roosevelt
is going to bolt in the event of Taft's
nomination at Chicago. He charac
terized Roosevelt's course as one of
ntle or ruin, and declares that his
statement in Cleveland that he is the
Republican party finds no parallel in
history save in the words of Louis
XIV "the state; I am it." The issu-!
ing of this statement. It is believeo-,
removes the last hope that Roosevelt
will yield hi the event of Taft's nomi
nation. This statement Is the most
severe that the president bus uttered
against Roosevelt. Mr. Taft was deeply
moved by Roosevelt's renewed accu
sation against him in Cleveland and
plainly showed his feeling.

Philadelphia, May 20. Ban Johr
Eon, president of the American
league, when asked his position on
the strike of the Detroit baseball
team, declared that he Is "standing
pat." Other than this he refused to
discuss the matter. Johnson arrived
tere ?nd went immediately to the
Bellevte Stratford, where he was.
Joined shortly by President Shibe of
the Athletics. Manager Connie Mack
and Manager Jennisgs ot Detroit
The two managers left a short Um
later, but Shibe and Johnson remain
ed in conference for several hours.
They refused to say what had tran
spired. Thete will be so baseball game at
Shibe park today. The Detroit clab
will not play another game in this or
any other city until it Is represented
by Its regular players. This was the

president of the American league, af.
ter a conference with President
Shibe and Manager Mack of tbe Ath
letics. Have Suspended Themselves.
Mr. Johcton said: "The failure ot
the Detroit players to participate in
the game with the Athletics on Sat
urday at Shibe park, out of sympathy
for Cobb, has assumed proportions
that overshadow the mere suspension
of the Tiger star. Every one of th
striking players has automatical!'
t-uspended himself and made himself
ineligible to compete in a game un
dcr organized baseball control until
he Is reinstated by the national con.
mission."
At the Aldtne hotel, where the D.
troit plaers are stationed, there ift
an air of gloom, and several of the,
players have said confidentially that
they think they acted In rather a-,
hasty manner.
Since coming here Ban Johnson,
has remarked that Manager Jennings
ot the Tigers apparently forgot hs
was a representatire of the owners
of the club and not of the players.
Johnson also remarked sarcastically
upon the manner in which Jennings
lauded hts players 3nd apparently
failed to censure them for striking.
In scml-otficil quarters Johnson '
