Following Senator Foraker's inter
view IN The Times yesterday. disclaim-
ing intention of forcing a contest with
the President on the railroad rate issue.
a report has been circulating today that
Secretary Taft may become the Admins
tration's mouthpiece to reply TO For
aker from the Ohio hustings this fall.
The fact that Taft and Foraker are
both in the list of Presidential candi-
dates and that the Secretary Of War
has taken n position as notable for Its
support of the President as that OF the
Chic senior Senator is for its apparent
antagon.sm Is of especial interest
Serious Possibility.
The introduction OF another excuse for
Republican division in Ohio would be
serious enough in the present political
situation there, but q joint debate be-
tween Taft and Foraker would be more
than an Ohio affair. 1t would instantly
be accepted as of national concerns
A Republican victory would be claimed

PA[MA'S ELECTION
ABOUT CONCEDED
Gomez, Liberal Leader,
AbandOns Opposition.
M DERATES CRITICISED
Declared Under Rule There Is Neither
Liberty, Democracy, Nor Constitu-
tional Guarantee N Cuba.

HAVANA Sept 27.-It is probable
from the position taken by Gen. Jose
Miguel Gomez, the Liberal candidate for
president. that the opposition to the re-
election of Palma may be abandoned
The overwhelming success of the
Moderates, even in Gomez's own prov
ince, Santa Clara, in the recent cleo
ton, has been a stunning blow to the
opposition.
In an interview printed in the Diario
de la Marina, Gomez IS quoted as de-
claring that there is neither liberty.
democracy nor constitutional guarantees
in Cuba. To the honor of Spain, he says.
nothing like this ever occurred under
her rule.
He inclines TO the opinion that It Is
quite useless to return to voting booths
and that it would be better TO dissolve
the Liberal party in view of the dangers
and fruitfulness of the fight.
While there is still some talk among
the Liberal leaders of appealing to the
charge of the election. 1t is recognized
that such action under existing cir
cumstances is little likely to be effect
ed
Charges and counter-charges continue
to be made by the Moderates and Con-
ernment is IN possession of truths
showing the existence OF widespread
conspiracy to intimidate the voters,
which was only frustrated by the
prompt and effective action OF Presi-
dent Palma.
On the other hand. the Liberals charge
that the Moderates' success was due
solely to government intimidation. The
situation is quiet and no further trouble
Is anticipated.

FIRM SOUGHT ADDRESSES
WITH FAKE" PACKAGES

A novel scheme to obtain the addresses
of debtors has been nipped IN the bud
by the issue of a fraud order from the
Postoffice Department. The operators
were the Globe Parcel and Delivery
company. OF San Diego. Cal
This company was engaged IN the
practice of mailing postal cards to an
alleged delinquent debtor OF a publish
ing house, notifying him that there
was, in the office OF the company. a
package belonging to him. which would
be delivered prepaid upon receipt of his
address or the return half of the postal.
The object of this game. the inspectors
found, was merely to obtain the ad-
dress of the delinquent. There was no
package. and therein lay the fraud. ac-
cording TO the legal authorities OF the
Postoffice Department

BLAZING. WOMAN LEAPED
FROM UPSTAIRS WINDOW

Burns which Victoria SmiIer, colored,
received at her home, S23 Pleasant alley
southwest. yesterday afternoon, while
washing. caused her death at the
Emergency Hospital last night
The woman's dress caught fire from a
pile of burning wood in the yard, and
she ran into the house to smother the
flames, which completely enveloped her.
Frenzied by pain. she leaped from a
second floor window and received a
painful cut on her head
Slight damage was done the furniture
IN the house which caught fire when
the woman was inside.

by both sides as a vindication, and IT
would be difficult to determine which
had gained most.
But in case of a Republican defeat, it
would be insisted by friends of the Ad-
ministration that it was largely due to
Foraker's position. and the Taft fac
ton would be likely to benefit.
Rate Question Out.
The Ohio platform does not discuss
the rate question, fact which is at
tributed to Foraker influence. If there
should be a sweeping victory for Herrick
the anti-legislation people would make
the most Of II as evidence that there IS
no real popular demand for such meas
ureS.
Thus the situation presents many sig
nificant features.
If Secretary Taft is sent into the State
for two or three speeches in support of
Administration views on the rate Ques-
ton. it will certainly be regarded as
indicating that the President is going
to fight TO force his views on the Senate
committee.

The campaign for the place made va

death of Judge Scott is still hot. 1t is
confidently expected by the friends OF
the several candidates that President
Roosevelt will name the man to NIL the
vacancy between now and Monday next

pointment has simply been postponed

As stated in The Times a few days
ago. the opinion seems to prevail that
a young lawyer of experience will be
chosen for the judgeship. The an
rouncement that a young man would
probably be nominated for the posi-
ton was well received in legal and
business circles and gave added impetus
to the fight being waged by the friends
of Special Counsel for the District A.
Leftwich Sinclair to bring about his
api ointment.
SincIairs Merits.
1t is claimed for Mr.. Sinclair that
he is familiar with all District laws
which would come up for consideration
In the Police Court, and that he has
had just enough experience as a prose-
cutor TO qualify him to administer the
affairs of the court properly, from the
bench Emphasis is put upon the fact
that Mr. Sinclair has proved the cour-
age of his convictions, and the opin-
ion is freely stated that he would dis

charges against Miss A ]. Cooper. prin-

time ago, appeared before the Board
of Education, when the case came up
last night, as the principal witness for

DR.. Atwood contended that Miss

and that ineligible students were admit

What Board Thinks.
This testimony was rebutted by let

difficulties at the school were not due
alone to lack of preparation, or the In
eligibility of graded school pupils, out
to a combination of causes, which would
all be looked into.
