CINCINNATI, July Ex-senator Sher-

and in response tofqueries s'by fepDFvefs,,
said his visit has no political signif-
canoe.
Ex-Governor Foraker, when seen by a
reporter, said that Amor Smith had
come to see him at Sherman's request,
to know what his (Foraker's) position
was. Foraker said further: "This talk
about holding conference for the pur-
pose OF citing me to appear and compel
me to explicitly define my position is
only another way of saying: Get out of
somebody else's road, and all that kind
of stuff is simply nonsense"
When these remarks were repeated to
Senator Sherman, he said "I never re-
quested, nor desired anyone to request
Foraker to withdraw from his candidacy
for the senate. He has as clear and un-
questioned right to aspire to this posi-
ton as 1. According to his statement,
he is candidate very much as I am.

SAN Francisco, July 2O.-The United
States internal revenue officers today
seized the Hayes Valley brewery and an
auxiliary bottling establishment for
violating the revenue laws. 1t is
claimed by the revenue officers that
the brewery which has a capacity
of about one thousand barrels OF
beer month, has for some time
had an arrangement with retail dealers
whereby instead OF drawing beer from
the spigot hole, over which the revenue
stamp is pasted, they drew beer from
the bung hole. The uncanceled stamps
we're then purchased by the brewery for
fifty cents each, and used over again.
Beer was sold on the Same conditions to
the bottling establishments.
