ney-Crofta long enough to have
short visit with his sister and put to
rights his own personal effects, and
then, accompanied by Bobbs he had

him was through banking house in

Miss Weston's health improved suf-
ficiently to permit her travelling, and
she continued to reside with Miss Car
ney, who took a furnished apartment
in town, as her brother and i had adj
vised her to do. Later they travelled
considerably abroad, and finally settled
down for a protracted stay at little
village on the Mediterranean coast, in
the hope of benefiting the health Of
Miss Weston, who, as | afterward
learned, was suffering from consump-
ton.
As have said, more than three years
had passed when l received most un-
expected communication from Miss
Carney saying that she had decided to
return home at once, bringing Miss
Weston with her. She asked me to
have Carney-Croft made ready for &C.
cupancy with as little delay as pos

e. G.: Elliott, who states that where
drains are laid three feet or more
deep and on grade not less than
three inches in 100 feet, two-inch
main not more than 500 feet long will
drain two acres.
A three-inch tile will drain acres.
A four-inch tile will drain II acres.
A five-inch tile will drain 20 acres.
A six-inch tile will drain 40 acres.
A seven-inch tile will drain 90 acres.
He further specifies that a two-inch
main should not be laid longer than
500 feet and a three-inch main not
longer than 1000 feet.
When the trench is being dug, the
dirt should be piled as neatly as posi-

road drags for this purpose very sue
cessfully, while shovels may be used
in the absence of something better.

IS
FOR HUGHES
Is Stated Senator Will Favor
New York Man For
President

Washington. July Pit is staten
that whatever complexion the ohlo
state central committee may assume
on Tuesday Senator Fr'aker, already
assured of u reelection TO the FED
eral senate, will ignore the commit
tees action.
He will henceforth work on nation
al lines for the nomination OF Mr.
Hughes for the presidency whether
the state convention shall formally
Instruct it's delegation for Mr.. Tait
or otherwise. On the floor of the
national convention It is Mr. Forak-
er's design, backed by the southern
delegations, finally to swing his state
over to Hughes This blow he VII
aim directly at Mr.. Roosevelt and
1.-THE future Roosevelt control of the
Republican party.
For weeks past there mas been
much quiet talk of Mr.. Hughes in
Ohio. But so intent has been the
public on the conflict of national and
local isues involved in the candidacy
of Taft that the shifting of Foraker's
plans toward Hughes, once his own
election to the senate should be as
Isured, comes as a surprise.

DICK is BUSY.

Akron. Ohio. July Ex-senator Dick
was busy Thursday lining up the For
aker supporters. He talked over the
telephone with Senator Foraker i'm
Cincinnati this afternoos and later
with Foraker lieutenants in Zanes-
vile, Columbus and other places.
Secretary John Il. Alalloy of the Re
publican state executive committee
came TO Akron from Cleveland by
trolley arriving at late hour and
went direct to the senator's home,
where the two were closeted for some
time.
Dick will say nothing regarding the
possibility of resolution for the in
Idorsement Of the war secretary being
introduced at the meeting of the Re
publican state central committee next
Tuesday or regarding the possibility
of its being defeated in case ii Is in
troduced.

Importance. Here In Ohio everybody
kf ows thar the state is heart and
soul for TAFT Even If the Foraker
Dick combine survives a few months
more. no Vaccinations on its part
could prevent the election Of a Taft
delegation i'm Ohio.
The senators cannot be blind to
these facts. Their hope is to impair
the Taft strength in other states,
where the Ohio situation is not clear
ly understood perhaps, by heraldng
1t abroad that the Ohio state commit
tee refused to indorse the Ohio can
didate. 1t is a rather foxy scheme,
designed to help the reactionary en-
Iemies for President Roosevelt wrest
party control from him and those who
believe in him.
| The Issue which the state central
lcommittee must face next Tuesday is
plain and direct Each committeeman
must take his stand with the machine
and against the people or with the
people and against the machine. We
cannot doubt that the Taft resolution
will be adopted by wide margin. -

The meeting of the State Republi-
can central committee, TO be held i'm
columbus next Tuesday, will be
watched with interest by people all
over the country. On the result of
this meeting undoubtedly depends the
naming the next Republican can
didate for the presidency.
The following is a press ditspatch
lsent out from Washington, showing
| the general belief to be that Taft will
get the Ohio Endorsement without any
trouble:
Washington, July 27.-According to
reports received by Secretary Taft's
people here the Republican state
committee of Ohio, when IL meets on
July 30, will be controlled by the
Taft people
They will have tweive of the
twenty-one votes on every PROPOSE
ton they want to put through. The
others may trail in with the tried
land true Taft people on some prop-
osltions but not on the crucial one
that OF indorsing Foraker for an
other term. According to the Taft
people, that will be the real test he.
cause they believe all Foraker is fight
ing for now is to save his seat in the
senate. He is willing to do Il nv
having an Endorsement of himself
nitched TO an Endorsement OF Taft
for the presidency.
The Taft people claim 10 have
wrested the first, second, third, fourth
and ninth districts from the control
of Senators Foraker and Dick who
last fall controlled fourteen of the
twenty-one members of the commit
tee and the delegates to the state
convention in the ratio OF more than
I2 TO !
| An organized campaign is being
made against Foraker by the Taft
people. They intend putting every
candidate for a legislative conven.
tion upon a stack of bibles and make
them swear to oppose Foraker before
they will give him the least support
They are not going TO ask him to sup
port any particular candidate, hut
merely declare that he viii, under nc
conditions, vote for Foraker. The
TAFT people here believe they can
win both the presidential and sena.
torial fights, wherefore they are going
out of their way to put Foraker out
of the running.
1t Is believed they will ultimately
unite upon Charles p. Taft for the
senate, or in the event Secretary Taft
does not attain the presidency send
him to the upper chamber until his
ambition TO be chief justice can be
Igratifed.

Political Talk

Senator Dick appeals TO members of
the, Republican state central COM
mittee to table the Taft Endorsement
resolution when it comes before the
committee next Tuesday When the
committeeman reply that their con-
stituents demand the adoption Of the
resolution, the senator tells them not
10 represent their constituents in this
matter, but TO stand by him. In 9TH
er words, the senatorial machine
again comes out openly against the
overwhelming majority of the Repub-
licans Of Ohio.
SO far as Ohio sentiment goes, so
far as Ohios vote in next years ma
tional convention is concerned, it does
not appear that the fate OF the Taft
resolution at the hands of the state
central committee is OF any great
