tended Suicide, Located
in the West.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 29.-Lieuten-
ant John w. Crawford, secretary to
Admiral Dewey, did not commit sui
eide. as he pretended He has been
discovered alive in western town and
arrangements were made tonight for
his apprehension.
Because the man representing him
self as Crawford has not been identi-
fed. the police authorities here are UNI
willing to give the name OF the town
in which he has been located. They
are satisfied, however. that they have
got hold Of the right person, but to
make sure they have arranged to get
a photograph OF him. He may be
brought back to Washington.
Crawford's disappearance last Friday
created sensation. coat and hat
belonging to him were found on ferry
boat running between here and Alex
andria A friend received a letter from
him saying that he had determined to
commit suicide and that financial
troubles were responsible for his de-
cision.
The police dragged the river but
failed 10 find his body, and a few days
later a woman announced that she had
seen Crawford leave the ferry boat
Mrs. Crawford declined to believe that
her husband had committed suicide. but
could give no explanation OF his strange
conduct She claimed to know nothing
about any financial troubles 10 which
the lieutenant referred IN his letter.
1t was said, however, that Crawford
had incurred debts amounting TO al
most $4,000, and being Of a peculiarly
sensitive disposition, had determined
to make away with himself rather than
bear the disgrace Of failing to meet
/ his obligations.
/ His official salary for eight years
+ has been about $4,000 per annum. and
Mrs. Crawford declared the debts could
easily have been paid by the practice
I of economy at home
In his letter Crawford stated eHpiie-
itly that his Indebtedness had accumu-
lated beyond his ability 70 pay and
further that it was not due 10 any
speculation or gambling.
That the police finally came TO be-
lHeve. with Mrs. Crawford. that the
missing man had not committed sui
eide. was shown BY their abandonment
LOT the search along tho river. Th'
chief of police offered reward OF So
for the recovery Of the body and Thu

FORAKER IN THE RACE
Ohioan Tells Men Who In
dorsed Him He is Ready
For White House.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 29.-Another
sensation was added tonight to the
presidential situation by the formal an
nouneement Of Senator Joseph Benson
Foraker Of OHIO that he is a candi-
date for the republican nomination for
the presidency ana will accept support
to that end
MT toraker's announcement further
complicates an extremely complicated
political situation in the Buckeye state.
President Roosevelt and the other
friends Of Secretary Taft had hoped to
obtain for him the unanimous indorse-
ment Of Ohio. This now viii be inn
possible. provided Senator Foraker re-
mains in the field until the convention
actually votes. The senator says he
viii not withdraw under any circum-
stances and that his declaration means
that he is genuinely and honestly a
candidate for the presidency
The result Of mis- action will be that
neither he nor Secretary Taft will have
a solid delegation behind his claims,
while the other aspirants viii be backed
by delegations from their native states
instructed TO give them support.
Accepts Aid Of Committee.
Mr.. Foraker's letter is in the form
Of response to the resolutions adopted
BY the advisory and executive commit
tee of the Ohio league of republican
clubs at Columbus Nov. 20 The COM
mittee denounced the suggestion that
Mr.. Foraker be forced into political
Oblivion and to emphasize its confidence
in him. pledged him their support for
both the senate and the presidential
nomination
When the action of the committees
was announced. the Taft men retorted
by pointing out clause in the leagues
constitution which prohibits official in
dorsement of the cause of any political
aspirant before he has been nominated
by properly organized convention.
They further charged that the members
of the committees owed their posts
to "a friend of Senator Foraker" and
the inference was plain that the in
ldorsement" was inspired.
In agreeing to permit the league to
support him for the nomination, Mr..
/ Foraker shows he has sense of humor.
In substance, he tells the committees
that as he can't be a candidate for
both the senate and the White house,
he viii accept support for the presi-
Dental nomination only.
Raps Roosevelt in Platform.
The platform of his candidacy which
Mr.. Foraker writes into his letter to
the committee is his own record as
a public man. Without naming Presi-
dent Roosevelt he indicates that he
viii stick to his policy of opposition
to executive encroachment and dicta-
ton"
The action of the committees. he
declares, is a fiat rebuke to the sug-
gestion that a United States senator
is mere agent to register the decree.
of somebody else.
One hot shot, aimed apparently a

Mr. Foraker also refers to STATUTORY
demands of management and surveil
lance that are apparently framed OF
the theory that all men are criminals.
