OUT OF SENATORIAL FIGHT
Foraker Announces His Candidacy for
President.

Washington, Dec. Am announce.
ment made by Senator Foraker OF
Ohio, in effect withdrawing his name
from the senatorial race in that state
and placing himself in the hands of
his friends for the presidential nom
nation, was no surprise to the SEN
ator's friends.
Foraker's formal declaration of war
against Taft is contained in letter
to Conrad j. Mattern, vice president
of the Ohio Republican league.
Senator Foraker says he is gratified
by the endorsement of the committee
at this time because it is flat rebuke
to the suggestion that the office of
United States senator is to be
stripped of all the real honor attached
to it by making it's incumbent mere
agent to register the DEGREES of some
body else.
The probable effect of the Ohio SEN
ator's manifesto is variously regarded.
It means hot fight in Ohio, but the
best Informed public men here are
strongly Of the opinion that Secretary
Taft will secure the delegation and
that Senator Foraker cannot win in
the contest.
1t is not believed here that Mr..
Foraker could win the Republican
nomination if he had the solid back.

ARSENIC IN EVERY ORGAN
Poison Caused Death of Wealthy Mas
sachusetts Man.

Boston, Dec. Poisoning by ar
senic caused the death of Walter E.
Baker of Wellesley, Mass, at Bogota,
N. j., last month, according to a re-
port forwarded to Bakers relatives by
experts who have examined intestinal
parts of the mans body. In view of
this finding the Baker family has been
urged to continue Investigation of the
theory of murder and Judge Grant of
the local probate court has appointed
George r. Blinn of Boston to be spe-
cial administrator Of the estate of
young Baker, who was wealthy. Ed
ward Baker, the brother of the de-
ceased, is contesting will which was
executed a short time before young
Baker died.
Mr.. Bakers death occurred at the
home Of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hurd,
with whom he had lived short time,
and according to the terms of the will
about one-third of his estate was
given to Natalie Hurd and special
gifts were made to Mr.. and Mrs.
Hurd One-third was given to two
sons Of his brother Edward and the
residue of the estate to Harvard.
According to the New Jersey au-
thorities Bakers death was due to
pneumonia. Edward Baker ordered
an autopsy. The chemists report that
arsenic was discovered in every organ
in the body and declare the belief
that the poison was administered in
small doses from time to time.

1.-THE HANDLERS" AT CITY
OPERA HOUSE DEC. 9TH
Excellent Attraction Assured for Sat
urday Evening Of Next Week.
First Time Here.

An eminent American physician
in recent interview said: Il pre-
scribe the theatre as means of
recreation to overworked, nervous
and debilitated patients in similar
manner to what I would an outing
or any other change of environment.
Stand at the door of the theatre
when the throng seeks admission,
watch the faces that enter and you
will see lines of care and lassitude.
Within few hours these same indi-
viduals issue forth refreshed and
invigorated." He evidently referred
to the entertainment furnished by
The Ramblers," which will be seen
at the City Opera House Saturday,
December 7. Farce comedy being
additionally the spice of life, it is
always pleasure to recognize and
to welcome indications of a change
in the regular sources of recreation.
This is a musical farce comedy,
full of climaxes fittingly arranged.
The comedy element stands out
strong and the dialogue is crisp and
lively. The musical numbers include
much clever scoring, girls young and
laughing, display an extravaganza
of elegant costumes beautifully har-
monized in color, well designed and
rich in material, while singing capti-
waiting airs with their refrain and
movement. From previous reports,
this company is accredited with
being indispensable and should
without doubt give everybody their
moneys worth.

Of Mrs: Anna Horavitch by an illegal
operation. She had been previously
convicted of a similar crime and sen
fenced to an indeterminate term in
the penitentiary for manslaughter, but
was paroled after serving year. Mrs.
Hagenow has long been a thorn to
the police and the object Of attack by
physicians and medical societies. 1t
was stated in the closing argument
for the state that Mrs. Hagenow had
practiced for thirty-seven years and
had been the cause of 1000 deaths.
It was at the establishment Of Mrs.
Hagenow that Lola Madison, a sister
Of Mrs. Annie M. Bradley, on trial at
Washington for the murder of former
Senator Brown of Utah, was treated
and whose dying statement, used at
the trial, was instrumental in bringing

Americans Atlas service came into

on board of Baron Waldemar Alexan-

nanas, the ship neared Port au Prince
Bieberstein was taken i'll and, becom-

young man died he confided to Cap
tain Felix zach of the Virginia who
he was and gave him a packet of pa

Germany. These papers, now in the
German consulate here, seem to prove
the identity of the young man. He
told his story to Captain zach, but the
officer refuses to divulge it except to
the German consul.
