FORAKER

WASHINGTON. y. c., June IA
Senator Foraker today added highly
combustible fuel to the Ohio fire which
involves the friendly relations between
President Roosevelt and Senator Han
ma by going to the White House and
frankly telling the President that 1t
was high time to investigate the inter-
ference and influence of federal office
holders In Ohio State politics.
This. in addition to the representa-
tions already made to the President
by Representative Burton, whose
frie nd was defeated for chairman of
the county convention by the quartet
OF government officials in Cleveland.
has increased the interest In what nov
promises to be an exciting episode in
national Republican politics.
Senator Foraker's attitude in the
matter is not surprising inasnlGch as
h. himself Is now an under dog in the
political skirmishlng In the Buckeye
State.
The President listened with consid-
cradle surprise to Mr.. Foraker's plain
statements. but promised nothing in

THE CONTINGENT FUND

The Taxpayers SuitAgdinSt ViCkers

PHOENIX. Ariz., June 14.-AppltcA-
tions for new trials have been made in
in the cases OF T. f. Wilson VS.. N. o.
Murphy ct al. and T. F. Wilson vs.
George w. Vickefs ct al. The motion
was made without argument and Judge
Kent denied both. whereupn notice was
given of appeal to the supreme court
OF the Territory.
The case of Wilson as q taxpayer
against Murphy was decided in favor
of the governor on demurrer to the
complaint, while the case against the
auditor went to trial. In the nrst
ease Judge Kent held that the governor
could not be held responsible for the
actions of the auditor, in case the war
rants were illegal, as the statute VIII
not provide punishment for the man
who received the money. In the
Vickers case, however, he held that all
the warrants were legally drawn and
were within the bounds OF the law. He
thought the instructions OF the gov
ernr and the advice of the attorney
general was sufficient to render YER
dict in favor of the defendant. Wheth-
er the cases are decided for or against
the defendant, appeals will be taken
to the supreme court of the United
States.

connection was the conference between
Senator Hanna and Civil Service Com
missioner James r.. Garfield Mf
Garfield is expecting to go to CLEVELAND
this evening. and may carry instruc-

Senator Foraker takes the ground
that Collector Leach, Marshal Chand-

master Dewstoe have been guilty Of a
violation OF the civil service regula-

after three years service In the Philip
pines. They were members of Major
Walters command, and they graphic
ally describe the application of the
Nater cure and the slaughter OF
women and children In accordance with
the alleged order of General SmitI that
al natives over ten be shot down II
they attempted to run away f.om the
American troops. Said Spencer.
While chasing the natives our men
would sometimes use their rife butts
and bring them down like tenpins. In
the excitement no one is going to stop
and size up whether a youngster is
nine or twelve especially when intent
upon getting even with village that
has been shooting at you. It's no good
trying to fight the insrurectos fair.
They don't understand 1t, and think
you're fool for throwing away your
chances
Hansen has photographs, purporting
to have been taken on the scene,
which shows a Filipino stretched on

arms bound under him, all ready for
