Anti-Hanna Men in Control of Ohio Repub-

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, February 1.-THE
state republican league convention at Day
ton is wholly in the control of the Foraker
Bushnell faction. 1t is certain that no re-
buke will be administered to those who
bolted the nomination of Senator Hanna
last winter If their action is not specif-
cally indorsed 1t will be because the con-
vention deems it not wise to do SO.
The occasion is to Foraker one for re-
entering Ohio politics as a leader of his
party, and he is improving 1t fully. Since
his election to the Senate and Mckinley S
election in 1896 Foraker has shown a dis
position to serve in the ranks. 1t is evident
that from this time he will push him
self forward as candidate to succeed him
self.
When he sulked in the Hanna election
last winter both factioGs were dissatisfied
with his course, and it began to look as
though there was doubt of his re-elec ion.
1t looks now as though the anti-Hanna
republicans would join In the boom of
Fl. NJ Daugherty for the nomination for
governor They are very friendly to Daugh-
erty at Dayton, and, so far as can be seen.
are bringing out no candidate of their own.

where case of smallpox had developed,
the officials received information that
George Hambacher and his wife had re-
moved from there. Yesterday afternoon
Health Officer Woodward communicated
with Attorney Thomas concerning the af-
talr, and today warrant was issued
from the Police Court charging Mr. and
Mrs Hambacher with having violated the
law. The attention of one of the Judges
of the court was directed to the case and
an order was made naming the Maryland
avenue house as the place of detention
This was done under the provisions of sec
ton 81 of the act, which provides:
lhat any person arrested in the District
of Columbia for alleged violation of law

health officer of said District expose the Oc-
cupants of any such police station, work

disease aforesaid, or any other disease or
dinarily recognized as contagious NAV he
confined In any hospital in which are treat
ed patients suffering from such conta pious
disease that by which said person is be-
lieved to be infected or In such other place
as may be designated by the court"
James Curtin, the railroad fireman who
suffered an attack of the disease, had lived
in the Hambacher home, and it was on his
account that the house was quarantined.
Notwithstanding the fact that they had
thus been exposed 10 the contagion, 1t Is
alleged the family moved to another house
They were vaccinated by one of the health
officials and requested to return to the
house where Curtin had lived when he was
stricken. This, it is alleged, they have not
done.
As soon as the warrant was issued the
police of the fourth precinct were notified
and We're instructed to locate the persons
charged 1t is thought they will he found
late this afternoon and detained in their
former home.
Up to a late hour this afternoon no addi-
tional cases of smallpox had been reported

Mr.. Wilibanks, was released from auaran-
tine today. The eight patients in the Dis
trict hospital are reported to be doing well,
and some of them will before long be dis
charged as cured.

ing the Secretary OF the Navy to pay GER

A reference to the statement be-

sworn to is bona fide one.
1t is easily possible for a news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell Its legitimate circulation enor-
mously, in order to deceive adver-
tisers. by sending out thousands of
papers to newsstands which are re-
turnable, and which are in fact re-
turned, but nevertheless are in
ciuded in what purports to be an
honest statement of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers, however,
judge by results, and bogus circula-
tions don't give them.
