FORAKER OPENS

= TAFT FACTION.

Washington. ID. c., April o.
Foraker will open his campaign in
Ohio on April 10, with a speech at
Canton. He accepted the invitation
of the Canton board OF trade this
afternoon. Il might as well open the
fight here as anywhere" said For
aker. He is impatient to begin. He
also has invitations for speeches at
Columbus and at the Friends school
and Wilberforce university, which
will be either frankly political or
with a strong tinge of politics.
II is reported here that Charles
p. Taft's senatorial candidate to
succeed Foraker is Representative
Nicholas Longworth son-in-law Of
the president. The report is in cir
culation among those prominent re-
publican politicians who were trying
until recently 20 patch up a com

Secretary Taft was then en- route to
Panama there is some doubt whether
he is a party to this elimination Of
Burton, and there is the same doubt
that Longworth is his candidate.
for within year Secretary Taft has
been urging Burton himself to be a
candidate against Foraker.
But there seems little doubt that
Charles p. Taft has Mick" Long

seat, If their candidate wins the pres

that time.
1t is certain that the president
would beam on such a choice as his
son-in-law. Longworth himself is
very ambitious and very rich He is
thirty-eight, and, If elected TO the
senate, would be the youngest mem

Taft is now thoroughly committed

reluctantly he may have regarded
this issue at one time. But Senator

All Through Advertising.

Through advertising for vile in
a Boston paper Jacob Small was
almost married to his own sister.
Who vas introduced to him under
the name OF Nellie Hawthorn. He
found out the young 4. voman's
identity through a ring she wore a
week before the ceremony was TO
have been performed.
Small. vho is 50 years old and a
vidower with two children, was
bound out when be was five years
old and separated from sister and
three brothers.
The children los, sight Of each
other after a time. and, although
three years ago Small made an
effort TO get track Of his kin he
failed. When be decided to take a
second wife he advertised and a
matrimonial agency wrote aud said
II would take charge Of the matter
for him at the usual rate.
Eventually the photographs Of
four young women we're sent by
mail and Small, choosing Nellie
Hawthorn from the lot. wrote TO her
through the agency. Miss Hav-
thorn said that she was looking for a
home Of the right kind and when she
was satisfied that the vooer meant
business she agreed TO visit him.
Then # matters we're satisfactory
she would marry him.
When Miss Hawthorn arrived in
town she found Small in possession
OF comfortable home. and said he
could set the wedding day. Suisse
quent conversation developed the
fact that both we're born In the
same town. This led to an investi-
cation and il was established With
on, question that Miss Hawthorn
was Smalls lost sister.
Small was more pleased than he
would have been to marry. he
said that all he wanted was house
keeper, and instantly set up his
sister as head Of his house.
Il developed that she had been
legally adopted by a family named
Hawthorn and mad taken their name.

PERSIA APPEALS TO WORLD
Nationals Demand Constitution from
the Shah.
HAS BEEN M1sLED
ReactiOnaries Influence the Young
Ruler to Believe Recent Trouble
Came from the OppO-
sitiOn.

TEHERAN. Dec. lion behalf of the
nation the Persian Parliament has issued
a manifesto to the world. explaining the
present constitutional crisis and appealing
for assistance The manifesto, which was
distributed to the foreign legations and
consulates here this afternoon, says:
when the affairs Of the empire had fall
len into hopeless state the nation saw its
only salvation in constitutional government.
The late shah granted constitution and
the reigning shah confirmed It, but persons,
who under the despotio regime were ac-
customed to oppress the people, misled the
young sovereign into the belief that the
constitution was the cause of the trouble
at present.
THE nationals do not think that will
disturb the peace, but in view of the
attitude of the reactionary members, the
government will defend the constitution,
its only hope, to the utmost.
by means of this manifesto the Persian
nation makes known TO all legations and
foreign diplomatic representatives the act
ual condition of the AFFAIRS, and informs
them that the sovereign is violating his
covenant with the people. It makes this
that they will show brotherly love to the
100000 Persians and not allow their rights
to be trodden under foot"
The negotiations between the shah and
the Parliament have been up to the present
time without result.
The members of the cabinet are holding
a council and all shops are closed and no
newspapers published today.
