CLUB GETS A
NEW MEMBER
Senator Foraker Will Not Ap-
pear on the Platform
With Mr.. Taft.
MANY CONFERENCES
HELD IN CINCINNATI
FINAL RESULT WAS THAT THE
OHIO SENATOR SENT NOTICE
OF HIS WITHDRAWAL.

Cincinnati. Sept Ex-senator ]. B. For
aker tonight eliminated himself from
participation with Judge Taft in the pol
itical rally of the National League of
Republican Clubs TO be held here next
Tuesday. His action was made known
to Judge Taft in the following letter. adj
dressed to the judge today. and made
public by the senator tonight:
Cincinnati. O., Sept 49, 1908
My Dear Judge-Having read in the
newspapers that some of your friends,
and you. are in doubt as TO the propriety
of my speaking with you at Music hall
next Tuesday night, l have concluded
not to attend the meeting. l take this
action, not because L deem the answers
have made to Mr.. Hearst's charges in
sufficient. nor because of any lack OF
loyalty TO your cause, but only because
/ do not wish to do anything that might
injure the cause or embarrass you per
sonally. Yours truly.
~. B. FORAKER.
Hon William H. Taft, Cincinnati, o."
To John Hays Hammond, president of
the National League of Republican Clubs
Mr.. Foraker sent this letter. which he
also made public:
Il herewith inclose a self-explanatory
letter that l have just sent to Judge
Taft"
Was Not Forced"
Senator Foraker said on giving out the
correspondence that his action was en-
tirely voluntary, and that he had re-
ceiVed no direct communication from
Judge Taft regarding the situation.
The publicity of the letters followed a
series OF conferences held yesterday and
today. Senator Dick and Mr.. Vorys were
the Intermediates yesterday. Senator
Crane Of Massachusetts reached the city
today and went at once to the Charles
p. Taft residence, where Judge Taft re-
manned the entire day. After an extend
ed conference. Mr.. Crane returned to the
Sinton hotel, where he was met by SEN
ators Foraker and Dick The three
lunchcd together in the hotel and then
repaired to Senator Foraker's office in
ence was protracted until late in the
afternoon. after which Senator's Crane
and Dick again saw Judge Taft.
Close Mouth Kept.
Neither Judge Taft. Senator Foraker.
Senator Crane. Senator Dick or A. j.
Vorys would add anything to the infor-
nation contained in the letters which
were made public. with the exception of
Mr.. Foraker'S remark that his action was
voluntary. 1t could not be ascertained
whether Mr.. FOraker's intentions were to
eliminate himself entirely from the cam
paign, or whether he WILL he intend
ed. take the stump later.
AS II did yesterday, today the Hearst
Foraker controversy eclipSed all else in
the political horizon here. Throughout
Judge Taft has declined to discuss the
matter for publication or otherwise. with
any one except Senators Crane and Dick
and Mr. Vorys. Communication between
the candidate and the New York head
quarters was frequent today, however
and even before Mr.. Foraker gave out
his letter to Mr.. Taft, II was known here
that he would not be present on the
platform with Mr.. Taft at the Tuesday
meeting.

PANIC ON BOARD
MONSTER LINER
Mauritania Runs Into Hurri-
cane and Passengers Mar
roWIy Escape Death.

New York. Sept 19.-For more than
half an hour last Wednesday the great
turbine steamer Mauritania, with all
her cabins filled with frightened passen-
gers, rolled and pitched helplessly in
midocean with waves constantly break
ing over her decks. She had run into
the storm hours before, but had been

that alarmed nearly everyone on board.
So tremendous was the force of the
blow which the loosened propeller dealt
the ship that the whole middle section
seemed TO rise, the flooring buckled I'M
til the lacks from the carpet were
hurled against the ceilings and passen-
gers were thrown about the cabins.
Panic on Board.
The. engines were stopped at once and
the big ship, losing her way, began to
wallow in the trough of the seas, while
the passengers beseged the captain,
imploring him to tell the nature of the
accident. Every effort was made to
quiet the frightened ones. but the in
tense excitement did not subside until
the steamer started once more on her
way.
The compartment adjoining the pro-
peller joints filled with water. 1t is be-
lieved that the detached propeller drove
a hole In the steamers bottom.
The severe weather continued through
out the voyage, and yesterday when
Sandy Hook. at the gateway of New
York harbor. was reached, the steamer
ran into a fog bank which compelled
her to lie at anchor for more than nine
teen hours She came today in the
harbor and to her dock.

CONCESSIONS IN COPPER.
Especial to The Herald.

Boston. Mass. Sept. 19.-Concessions
have been made in copper prices by
certain of the leading interests. but no
large amounts are changing hands.
Sales of electrolytic copper by one SELL
ing agency are reported as having been
made at 1885 cents per pound. Other
large producers and selling agencies
are declining offers for copper below
13A cents. The weakness of the mar
ket is attributed to the lull after the
recent heavy buying movement.

Toga and Shurtlef

When Shurtleff announced that
he had withdrawn, and will not
be a candidate for governor, so
long as Yates is a candidate, the
papers made him a candidate for
United States Senator to succeed
A. j. Hopkins. the man from
Aurora. j. McCar Davis, in the
ST. Louis Globe Democrat, how
ever, says Shurtleff will not op'
pose Hopkins, and believes Ma
son will beat Hopkins in August
at the primaries, but does not
think the legislature will acc pit
the peoples verdict. Is not such
predection bad omen for our
solons? If the people endorse
Mason. and the legislature turns
Mason down. is not that a repu-
diation of the wishes Of the peO.
pie who elect the members Of the
legislature? If a mem Der of the
legislature got the majority vote
at the election and was ouSted
because other members did not
want him, would not such an one
appeal aud refer to the people as
being sovereign? This does not
look right on the surface.
