DECLARES FOR TAFT.
Ohio Republican Chairman Breaks His
Reticence.

Toledo, O., May 2O.-Chairman Wal.
ter F. Brown of the Ohio state central
committee has broken through the
reticence he has so far observed since
the commencement Of the Taft-For-
aker imbroglio.
He declared himself as unqualifiedly
for Taft, said the Republicans Of Ohio
were solidly in favor of his candidacy
and declared that Senators Foraker
and Dick owe it to themselves and
their friends to settle the report that
they are secretly supporting the candi-
dacy of Vice President Fairbanks.
He declared, moreover, that the SEN
timent for Taft is so strong that if
further opposed, or in any way mis-
represented by Senators Foraker and
Dick, it will burst all bounds and de-
mand expression in a popular conven-
ton that might wipe Foraker and
Dick off the political map.

PROGRESS VERY SLOW
Another Week May Be Necessary
to Secure Haywood Jury.
BOTH SIDES FIGHTING HARD

Opposing Attorneys During Exam
ination of Veniren,en-SeveraI Men
Excused by Perenptory Challenges.
Boise, Ida, May 20.-The work Of
securing a jury to try William D. Hay
wood on the charge that he murdered
Frank steunenberg continues to drag
slowly forward and a major portion of
another week will be consumed in
completing the task. The sixth and
seventh peremptory challenges were
used before the noon recess, the de-
fense excusing Walter Shaw and the
state w. N. Rudge. Talesman M. G.
Goodwin was, after an extended con-
test in which the defense challenged
upon several grounds chosen to re-
place Shaw. Goodwin is veteran Of
seventy-two years and his acceptance
lifts the average age Of the present
jury to about sixty. years. Shaw was
only twenty-eight years old and the
only very young man in the box. The
argument of counsel over the chal-
lenging of Talesman Goodwin seemed
to indicate a sharpening Of the con-
test between them, a Tightening Of the
lines along which the trial proceeds.
The Haywood family was absent
again and the prisoner sat alone be-
hind his lawyers. He consulted fire.
quently as the examination continued
and on the exercise of challenge rights.
Joseph Chinn, a hackdriyer and a
Democrat, satisfactorily filled the va
cancy made by Rudge after he had
been put through an almost endless
examination by Attorney Richardson.
He declared he had neither opinions
nor prejudice to hinder him from
reaching verdict The defense next
peremptorily challenged Mr. Goodwin,
who only few hours before was Sc
lected to fill seat No. 4.

ANOTHER NEW PITCHER
FOR THE NATIONALS

That the owners Of the Washington club

by the way they are signing up young play

that it Is impossible to secure good players

everything possible to furnish the local
leader with a big bunch of the best young

Joe insists on having the kids with energy
and ambition as he Is confident that is the
only way by which Washington can ulti-
mately have winner.
The latest acquisition Is Pitcher Eli Gates
of the Pacific Coast League. He has been
playing with the Oakland club of that or
ganization, and is considered the best
twirler on the Pacific coast. He is a right
handler, and while he Is not large man
has splendid speed and control.
Denny Long. the manager Of the San
Francisco club. was recently authorized by
President Noyes and Manager Cantillon to
secure the best twirler in the Pacific Coast
League. and the signing Of Gates Is the re-
suit Of the order.
In speaking Of Gates. Manager Long SAYS
that he has been pitching two games a
week regularly all season. and that while
working he resembles Clark Griffith when
the latter was in his prime. He ia very cool

as his arm in fooling the batsmen. Gates,
he says, has a spit ball which he only uses
when men are on bases. and it is so eff
