TO BE ALL AMERICAN.
Plan for Exhibit in London During

LONDON, Oct 19.-Arrangements
were completed this afternoon for
holding an exclusive American exposi-
ton in Crystal Palace, from May to
October next year. In view of the
tremendous influx of foreigners to
take part in the coronation festivj
ties the undertaking will afford Amer.
lean exporters an unrivaled opportu-
nifty to show their manufactures and
products to the nations of the world.
The Crystal Palace company is pro
noting the scheme, backed by strong
advisory committees of American res.
idents of London and prominent Eng.
lishmen, including the lord mayor of
London, Winston Churchill, NJ. p,
and Sir Henry Irving.
Ernest Schenck, chairman of the
Crystal Palace company, Is now in the

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Oct. 19.-Twenty
nine students were suspended from
Missouri University for hazing. They
will not be allowed to re-enter school
until each one of them has made a
written apology to their victim, l.. l..
Thompson of Slater, Mo-, and like
wise pledged themselves to good be-
havior during the rest of the school
year.
When the announcement to this ef-
feet was made it fell like bomb
shell among the students, who sup
posed that the hazing of Thompson
had been forgotten. But the dis
cipline committee of the faculty has
been quietly at work since the day
after the hazing. DR.. r. H. Jesse.
president of the university. who has
pronounced views upon the subject,
was not slow to endorse their decis-
ion
The executive committee of the
board of curators also took a hand in
the matter, and 1t Is quite evident that
hazing will not be tolerated at Mis-

CAMPAIGN
LAUNCHED
Ohio Republicans Start the
Ball to Rolling at
Delaware.
Senator Foraker Sounds the
Keynote for State and
Nation.

DELAWARE, Ohio, Oct 19.-The
state campaign was fully opened to-
day. when all the Republican celebri-
ties of the state gathered here. The
= Blaine club of Cincinnati is present
and there are thousands of visitors in
attendance from all over the state.
The speech of the day was that of
Senator Foraker, who struck the key
note of the campaign, not only in this
state but probably for the whole coun-
try. His address was quite elabo-
rate. 1t was an assault upon Dem
ocracy and defense of Republican
principles. He sneered at the Dem
ocrats for refusing to recognize Bry-
an and went into ancient history show.
ing that the Democrats of Ohio had
several times parted from their lead
er each time almost to the ruin of
the party. He quoted Vallandingham
in 1871 and Bryan in 1901 as examples.
This burial OF its leaders was a fea-
ture of the Democracy.
The senator then went on 10 show
that prosperity had existed under the
administrations of Harrison and Nc
Kinley. and that great duties now de-
volved upon the Republican party.
He gloritied the national administra-
ton for giving freedom to Cuba and
Porto Rico and the Philippines. He
said that the greatest national enter
prises had been fortered by the party
in power A glowing tribute was
paid to President Roosevelt and to
Governor Nash.
Senator Hanna followed Senator
Foraker in a vigorous speech.
Both senators will speak daily for
the next two weeks throughout the
state.
