PRIMARY IN OHIO
PROPOSED BY MANAGER OF THE
ASPIRING SECRETARY OF
WAR.

Columbus. o., Nov. Ex-senator
Foraker yesterday was formally in
dorsed for reelection to the senate
and for the republican nomination for
president, at meeting of the execu-
tive and advisory committees of the
Ohio league of republican clubs.
After endorsing Foraker the resolu-
lions declare that the committees
have no sympathy whatever with
the proposition that has been ad-
vanc5d that Foraker be eliminated
and retired from public life because
he was not able to agree with Pres
ident Roosevelt as to the rate bill or
joint statehood for New Mexico and
Arizona or about the Brownsville mat
ter"
The action of the joint committees
at once brought out a challenge from
A. |. Vorys, manager of Taft's presi-
Dental canvass, for a popular primary
to determine the choice of Ohio re-
publicsns of the candidates for presi-
dent. vorys declares that the mem
bers OF the committees were not elect
ed by the republicans of the various
counties, but were appointed by rep
resentatives of Foraker.
The resolutions endorse the post
ton taken by Foraker on the matters
above cited, and declare:
with him for president the policy
of protection to American industries
and American labor need not fear at
tacks of its enemies, whether made In
the open by avowed free traders, or
by those who in the guise of friends
profess TO improve it by a downward
revision of duties, ana every Amer
lean citizen. white or black, and no
matter how humble, would feel and
know that there would be fearless en-
forcement Of the laws enacted for the
protection of his rights.
''At this time of business depres-
sion and / ainul uncertainty as to f.
nancial conditions, his nomination
would be especially helpful. 1t would
arouse the old time S sirit of repub-
licanism, restore confidence and in
sure victory"

.MAIDENS FROM CHINA
TWO OF ROYAL BLOOD COME TO
WELLESLEY.
VIII Be Educated by the Imperial
Government Which Desires Them
to Learn All They Can
in America.

Wellesley.-Although it is in nowise
part of the curriculum of Wellesley
college it has fallen to the lot OF two
typical American girls to introduce
two little Chinese maidens into the
mysteries of dressing according to
the accepted ideas of fashionable So
ciety.
All the gowns, furbelows, hats and
lingerie for all sorts of occasions,
from the boomer gym costume to the
toilet for evening receptions, have
been spread out before the astonish-
ed gaze OF the little orientals, and II
viii be for them TO decide, after Civ.
ing the subject mature thought, per
haps writing back to China, whether
they shall discard their own flowing
robes of silk and at the start become
Am sricanized in dress. For these two
girls are to remain In this country till
they can take back to China all that
we can give them in the way of edu-
cation and social refinement.
Never before has Wellesley been
called upon to look after the welfare
OF so distinguished students. They
are Miss Chi Che Wang, who comes
from Soochow, and Miss Ping Hsia
HUI, whose home is in a neighboring
Chinese town. Both girls are related
to the royal family of China oficisl
ly the Chinese government is their
sponsor. They came to town with
more escorts and vastly more trunks
than ordinarily accompany half q
dozen girls.
In the first place the recently retir
ed Chinese minister, who grew up al
boy at Amherst, played first on the
baseball team and, following gradua
ton became chairman of the alumni
association, told the bespectaclet
statesmen in Pekin that the girls
should be sent to America by al
means, and that they would find
Wellesley typical high-class estab
lishment, where the fashions of Chins
and America would be blended sc
gradually that the girls would beeom,

DENIES ERRAND
WAS TO MURDER
MRS. BRADLEY INFLUENCED BIZ
BEADING BROWNS LETTER
FROM ACTRESS.
PROSECUTION SHOWS WOMAN AS
DESTROYER OF HOME
WHILE WIFE's FRIEND.
SLAYER OF FORMER SENATOR
TELLS OF SHOOTING AND is
cRoss-ExAMINED.

Washington, Nov. 2i.-That Mrs.
Bradley did not come to Washington
with any intention of killing former
Senator Brown, end that she did not
even remember shooting him, she told
the jury in her trial yesterday. The
statement was not reached until the
afternoon session, the first half OF the
day being given largely to the identi-
fication of letters from Brown TO Mrs.
Bradley and from her to him, very
few OF which were read.
The real tragedy formed the subject
of the Afternoon sitting. At that tins
Judge Powers brought out the full
statement in his examination in chief.
This consumed only a few minutes
and as soon as he concluded District
Attorney Baker entered upon the
cross-examination. He devoted COLI
paratively little attention to the shoot
ing itself, but going back to the early
days of the relationship between
Brown and Mrs. Bradley, sought to
show by reading letters and ques-
tioning the witness that she had de
hberately undertaken to break up
Browns home and that she was at
enmity with Mrs. Brown as early as
1901. He also brought out the fact
that Mrs. Bradley and Mrs. Brown
had originally been strong friends
and that this friendship even extended
beyond the time of the birth of Mrs.
Bradiey's first child by Brown.
Baker brought out the fact that
when the son, Arthur Brown, was
born, Mrs. Bradley was living with
her husband, but she said Brown was
paying her rent and Bradley was only
paying his board. No one but herself
and Brown had, she said, known
Brown to be the father of the child.
'He was christened Arthur Brown, not
Arthur Brown Bradley" she said.
There were about 40 persons present
at the christening, she continued, ana
while no one knew the facts except
her and the senator some of them
had afterwards told her they sus-
pected the truth. She had dined with
Mira. Brown, and Mrs. Brown with her
after Arthur's birth.
The fact that upon first going to
Browns room at the Raleigh hotel,
Mrs. Bradley found there letter
from Mrs. Annie Adams. an actress,
to the senator, was dwelt on at some
length by Judge Powers, making IL
evident that it is his intention to at
tempt to show that the discovery OF
this letter supplied the immediate
motive for the killing of Brown.

Lansing, Mich, Nov. 21,-Alleging

reals as proper ingred ents of sau

OTHERS FLEECED
BESIDES BANKS

Chicago, Nov. 21.-Evidence tend
ing to show that bonds of the Walsh
railroads were sold to various pur
chasers at practically the figures at
which they were accepted by the
Chicago National bank as collateral
for notes was brought out in the
cross-examination of National Bank
Examiner Moxey in the Walsh trial
yesterday. Ten sales. aggregating
s522, 900, were gone over and identi-
fed by date and amount. It was fur
Their indicated by the testimony that
the memorandum notes upon which
the prosecution alleges enormous
sums were drawn from the banks
vaults by Walsh were paid upon ma
Gurity.
The direct examination of Moxey
was finished after he had testified to
entries purporting to show the with
drawal by Walsh Of s630,000 in a
single day in January, 1905, and that
notes bearing various signatures
amounting to s644,o00. had been dis
counted that day.
Moxey's testimony seemingly
showed that during that month OF
January Walsh drew out Of the bank
$685. and that a corresponding
amount is involved in notes or sale
of bonds OF his other enterprises.

said the photographer. "the president
turned to several unarmed newspaper
men and myself and said: You fell
lows are making good deal of noise
and you may brighten the game away.
Suppose you make a detour and join
us in an hour or so up lie ravine."
Instantly we spurred away from the
party and rode on up the ravine. Near
its head we were surprised to come
across a newly built pen of logs
Climbing up the side of the pen We
looked down into it and saw large
Wild boar. which greeted us with an
angry snort. 1T this moment a noun
taineer emerged from the brush and
told us that if We didn't make our
selves scarce there would be trouble.
Hastily we made our way to the sum-
nit and sat down to wait
"ln an hour we heard the popping
|of a rife. When all was still again
we mounted and galloped down the
ravine. AS We passed the boar pen
we noticed that its rude door was
standing open. A few hundred yards
down the narrow rayine we came up
on the party congratulating the pres
ident on his luck in spying the first
game and his skill in bringing it
down. He was wiping blood from the
hunting knife with which he had slit
the throat of a prize wild boar that
had fallen to his sure aim. We went
back to town that day without seeing
any other wild logs, and the presi-
dent said that the joke was on the
rest of the hunters. Very heartily he
thanked his entertainers for keeping
their promise to pilot him to the place
where he would be sure to get shot
or two at the wild hogs, and the few
of us who were wise never had the
heart to tell him.
