AS reward Tor upholding the Pres
ideuPs policies in opposition to
those Of Senator Foraker, Repre-
sentative Burton will be the Taft
candidate for the senatorship from
Ohio. 1: is understood that Burton
candidacy will be formally announced
next week at the meeting of the repub-
lican State leaders at Columbus. The az
nouucement will serve TO emphasize the
declarations of the Taft people that they
have not entered into any deal with
Foraker, whereby they would grease
the ways for his sliding back into the
Senate, in return for the abandonment Of
his presidential aspirations. Burton's
candidacy will be heartily supported by
the nationsl administration. He is con-
sidered by President Roosevelt TO be the
most avilable man 10 enter the contest
with the present senior Senator from
Ohio. 10 fact, FOrsker's friends here be-
iieve that the Inspiration for Burton's
candidacy comes from The White House,
rather than from Taft himself. Per-
souallY, Taft would prefer TO keep hands
off the senatorial situation, but as the
exponent OF the Presidents policies and
the President choice for the nomins-
tion he would be expected TO carry out
the Presidents wishes with reference to
the senstorship.

Robin was read to the jury. The stom-
ach of little Horace Marvin showed evil

had eaten at his last breakfast, which
consisted of bread, eggs, oatmeal and tea.
This ANALYSIS corroborated the testi-
mony OF Mrs. Swift who swore that she
had prepared the child's breakfast. DR..
Robin as touching the cause OF the death
of the lad, said" In the absence Of any
ether cause death could have occurred
and probably did occur within six or twelve
hours after eating The last meal" lie add
ed: "From my observation the body must
have been in the water from six to eight
| weeks" Doctors Wilson and BurtOn's tes-
timony was along the same line as that OF
DR.. Robin.
The reason for the secrecy in the jury room
leaked out at noon today when It became
known that bottle containing the names oil
four men was found in the pool where
Horace Marvin's DO ly was found. The note
was dated March 10. 1t is reported that Or
