found it necessary TO withdraw entire
ly from the practice of the law |
have not taken any new employment
for more than two years past.
ION this account as well as because
of my relations to the public service
| can not accept a retainer in the con-
tingency named. as would be very
glad to do if it were otherwise.
Assuring you of my proper appre-
citation for the compliment involved
in the inquiry you make, | remain
very truly yours. ]. B. FORAKER"
These letters. Mr.. Foraker says.
We're written soon after talk of Grim
inal prosecution of the trust in Ohio.
He saw, he says, in his statement
that it was no longer possible for him
to accept employment by the company.
in that it was no longer engaged in
attempting to reorganize to follow the
law, but was seeking to evade the
law. Hence his refusal.
Senator Foraker then takes up the
letter read by Hearst in st. Louis. in
which Archbold is alleged Ito have
asked the senator to choke off the bill
introduced by Senator Jones of Ar
kansas. Concerning this the state
ment says:
81 have no recollection of receiving
any such letter, and a most diligent
search fails to disclose any such let
ter on my files or any copy of any
answer to any such letter in my let
ter book But, waving all that, the
letter shows on its face that Mr., Arch
bold did not pretend to have any right
to address me on any such subject, ex-
cept as any citizen might have done.
Never Acted Upon.
Foraker then adds: The bill never
was acted upon in the committee

man of the judiciary committee. He

For Negroes TO Think About.
Can it be possible that the presi-

That cannot be. and yet he could
hardly do any other one thing better
calculated to lose him votes. for no
self-respecting negro reading what
Judge Taft says in this letter and add
ing it to all that has gone before. can
vote for him without feeling that he
is making greater sacrifice than most
men, white or black. are willing to
make. In any event, the president S
action and comments are wrong to-
ward the republican party, for they
amount to a charge against the party

an unworthy purpose in connection
with a matter that every colored man
who has any pride of race holds OF
highest value and in deepest appre
ciation.''

cd, Three Being Under
Consideration.

New York, Sept 26.-Tne selection
OF a treasurer to succeed Governor
Haskell probably will not be made by
Chairman Mack for several days. The
names of Colonel Moses c. Wetmore
of st. Louis, Mayor j. ~ Adam of
Buffalo and E. H. Goltra of st. Louis
are under consideration.
Announces 1t Himself.
Chicago, Sept. 26.-Governor Has
kell at midnight last night resigned as
treasurer of the democratic national
committee. His resignation was an
nounced by himself three hours after
his arrival in Chicago from Guthrie,
Okla, and after he had conferred with
the officials of the democratic national
headquarters here. In giving out his
decision, Hakell in response to a ques-
ton, declared he did not desire to be
responsible for any embarrassment
which might result to the democratic
party for his retaining the Office of
treasurer.
Leaves for Home.
Haskell left at 8 o'clock for Guthrie,
Okla. Asked whether his resignation
had been accepted. he said; 81 pre-
sumo So" AS to his successor, he pro-
fessed ignorance.
Cioseted With Wade and Daniels.
Chicago, Sept 2G.-That his resigna-
tion is the direct result of the charges
made against him by Hearst and Pres
ident Roosevelt, Haskell admitted. At
the same time he did not by his resig-
nation intend to admit that any of the
charges were true. In his room at the
hotel he was closeted for long time
with National Committeeman Martin
J. Wade of Iowa and Joseph Daniels,
chairman of the democratic press COM
mittee 1t was midnight when Haskell
reappeared from the room. He had in
