Oyster Bay, Sept 21.-President Roosevelt made public the following statement today: 'In view of MT. Hearsts disclosures regarding Senator Foraker I shall make public the con tents of a letter written by MT. Taft on July goth, 1907, to a friend in Ohio. prominent in ohio politics, who wrote him before the meeting of the state central committee asking, whether he would object to the'committee pass ing a resolution endorsing MT. Taft for president and MT. FOraker for senator, in the interest of harmony A copy of this letter was submitted to me at the time, but after the original had been sent. It was not intended for publication, but was understood, if necessary that it would be publish ed.
 T personally know that the strong est pressure by various leaders was brought on Mir Taft at that time to consent to the proposed arrangeent and he was informed by leading men from other states that if he would consent to the arrangement all opposition on the part of MT Foraker and on the part of some of MT. Foraker's influen- tial friends in the senate and elsewhere would cease and that Mir. Tafts nomi- nation for the presidency would be as sured, but Mir Taft declined for one moment to consider any possible ad- vantage to himself, where what he re- garded as a great principle was at stake. His attitude on this question, as well as on countless questions, con vinced me that of all men in this union, he was the man preeminently fit in point of uprightness and character, for fearless and aggressive honesty for championing the rights of the people as a whole, to be president.

Senator Foraker has been a leader among those members of congress of both parties who have resolutely op- posed the great policies of internal re- form for which the administration has made itself responsible. His attitude has been that of certain other public men, notably Gas shown in this same correspondence published by MT. HearsD Governor Haskell of Oklahoma. There is a striking difference in one respect, however, in the present po- sition of Governor Haskell and Senator Foraker Governor Haskell stands high in the councils of MT. Bryan and is the treasurer of his national cam paign committee. Senator Foraker represents only forces which in embit- tered fashion fought the nomination of MT Taft and which were definitely deprived of power within the republi- can party when MT. Taft was nominat- ed.
 The publication of this cOrrespon dence not merely justified in striking fashion, the action of the administra- tion, but it also casts a serious side light on the attacks made upon the administration, both in the Denver convention which nominated MT Bry- an, and in the course of MT. Bryan's campaign.
 There is but one way to preserve perpetuate and get great reforms, great advances in righteousness and upright and fair dealing, which has marked the management of the affairs of the national government during the last seven years and this is by electing MT. Taft To defeat him will bring lasting satisfaction to but one set of men. namely to those men who. as shown in the correspondence published by Mir Hearst, were behind Foraker, the

PROSECUTION AGFNI
 GUILTY OF CONTEMPT l
HE Undertook to Influence a Couple of Ruef Jurors.

San Francisco, Sept. 21.-Charles Oliver, Jr., special agent in the em- ploy of the prosecution in the brib cry graft cases, was today adjudged guilty of contempt by Judge w. P. Lawlor, for approaching and inter viewing w. German and w. s. Har- rison, two men who had temporarily passed into the jury box after they had been tentatively accepted as ju- TOTS in the trial of Abraham Ruef.
 Judgment will be passed by the court tomorrow. Young Oliver is the son of Charles Oliver, one of the principal agents in the employ of Wm. J. Burns, the head of the corps of special agents employed by the district attorneys office in the brib cry graft cases.
 German and Harrison complained to the court that the young man, representing himself to be a news paper reporter, called upon them on Saturday night Both declared that case with him.
 Although 450 names have been drawn so far, the fourth week in the work of getting a jury to try Ruef on one of the seventy six in dictments charging him with bribery. began this morning with but nine men in the jury box.
 Before the morning session was over Thomas Dolan. aged 70, was excused after being temporarily pass ed, at his request, on the ground that he was too old to stand the strain of the trial. This left but eight men in the box and these are subject to peremptory challenges, of which the defense has ten and the ! prosecution five. At the present rate of progress there is little prospect of getting a jury to try Ruef under an- other four weeks.

A DAY OF SELLING
 ON SHOCK MARKEI
The Depressing Influence of Last
 Week Lasted Over Sunday.

New York, Sept. 21.-With the active selling of stocks and the acute weak ness carried up to the very close of last week, it was a matter of course that outside selling orders should be of considerable volume when opera tiOns began today. The active specu- lative position was on the selling side of the market. Opening declines in prices also broke through the limits of additional stop loss orders and precipi- tated fresh liquidation on the market. Talk of the copper market was not hopeful Another marking down of prices of copper at the metal exchange and or copper warrants in the London market gave point to the talk. From to points was the measure of the range of tthe days losses and in the Harrimans and Hills. St Paul and Reading the damage runs from 9 to 2i points.

Bryan Continues His Campaign In the Em-
 pire State
He Argues His Election More Than Taft's Would Scare Republican Congress Into Doing the Right Thing by the People.

Medina, N Y, Sept. 21-Renewing his campaign in New York state today, William J. Bryan denounced the rec ord of the republican party, and ac- cused President Roosevelt of purloin- ing democratic ideas and of owing his popularity to them and he charged Taft with being unable to effect any reform. He declared that democratic victory would do more to cOerce re- publicans in congress than any per suasion Taft could bring to bear, if a republican victory was achieved on that Darty's record.
 Having travelled all night from Al bany, short stop was made at Koch ester between trains. Proceeding to Buffalo addresses were made at Brook port, Holley, Albion and at this place.
 It became evident from the outset that President Roosevelt and Taft were

ITS ANYBOOYS
 LEADERSHIP
In Either of the Great
 Baseball Leagues
The Events of Two Days Have Invested Both Con- tests With Uncertainty.

If anything were needed to make of more absorbing interest to baseball en- thusiasts the series to be begun today between the New York and Chicago National League teams on the Polo grounds, yesterdays happenings on baseball diamond supplied it. New York was again obliged to lower it's colors to Pittsburg in a close game and Chicago won both ends of the double hee der in Philadelphia. The present leaders lost a great part of the advantage they had gained by their re- cent string of successive victories.
 This morning New York has a lead of but twenty points over Chicago. Four games will probably be played by these two clubs in the present series, and by winning them all, Chicago would assume the lead in the National league race. An even break, of even the winning of one game out of four, however, would still leave the present leaders in first position.
 In the meantime, Pittsburg, seven points behind, will be playing Brooklyn and not inconceivably may gain sub stantially on one or both of the clubs now preceding it in the standing.
 The race in the senior organization is full of interest with the possibility of ultimate victory by any of the three leading teams. The standing, with Mondays games included is:

opponent of MT. Taft\within his own party, and who are now behind Gov ernor Haskell and his associates, op- ponents of MT Taft in the opposing party.
 The portion of the letter written by MT. Taft reads as follows: Tn re- spect to the inquiry of yours, wish to express myself with as much emphasis as possible; that is, wheth CT I would object to the compro- mise resolution which shall include the endorsement of myself for the presidency and Senator Foraker for the senatorship. In my judgment 1t would not be only a great mis- take-something more, it would be accepted necessarily as a cOmpro- mise on my behalf. and therefore with my acquiescence, or at least with the acquiescence of my friends for whose action I am more or less responsible. It would totally mis- represent my position.
 q don't care for the presidency if it has to come by compromise with Senator Foraker or anyone else in the matter of principle. He has op- posed the vital policies and prin- ciples of the administration and his opposition has caused to be magni- fled, important but incidental mat ters to embarrass the administration using in this, without scruple, blind race prejudice to accomplish his main purpose. If I were confronted with any factional differences within my party, which does not involve a subject which must come up for con sideration and action by the next republican national convention, should not be so emphatic in my concluison. It is not on my part a question of personal feeling with re- spect to Senator Foraker. It is a question of political principle"

HARTMAN GETS ANOTHER ROAD
He Adds the Wisconsin Central to His
Large Collection.

Chicago, Nov. 21.-A dispatch to the
Record-Herald from New York says:
There has been little connection of
Mr.. Harriman'S name with the affairs
of the Wisconsin Central, but from an
excellent source it is aScertained that
he has practically secured control of
that property.
It is now assumed in certain good
quarters that the recent election of
George Gould to a Wisconsin Central
directorship occurred at the suggestion
of E. H. Hartman, and that Mr.. Gould
is in Wisconsin Central practically as
Mr.. Harriman's Representatives. Though
Mr.. Hartman has not yet taken any
official position in the Gould direc-
torates, it is understood that Mr..
Gould is closely following his sugges-
tions in the handling of the affairs of
the Gould roads. There have recently
been very strong advices to buy Wis
consin Centrals and WabasheS.

INDIVIDUAL BETTING LEGAL.
Brooklyn Jockey Club Wins a Victory
in the Courts.

New York, Nov. 21.-That personal
or what has been termed ''individual'
betting is legal at the race track in
this state is the opinion Of the judges
of the appellate division of the su-
preme court made public in a decision
handed down in the case brought by
Assistant District Attorney Elder of
Kings county, to determine the appli-
cation of the Agnew-Hart bill on this
point. The decision is in favor of the
Brooklyn Jockey club.
The proceeding which resulted in
the decision rendered was a test case
Melville Collins was arrested for ac-
cepting wager at Gravesend race
track June Is, of this year, and was
held for trial. Collins brought habeas
corpus proceedings before the special
term Of the supreme court and his re-
lease was ordered. In the decision by
the appellate division the action of the
special term is upheld in all particul-
ars. The judges says that the statute
is aimed at the stakeholder, the
bookmaker and the pool seller
In conclusion the opinion reads:
ITO cOnstrue the language in the
manner ccntended for by the learned
district attorney is to wrench words
from the context to violate the gram
NAUTICAL construction, of the sentence
and to ignore the historical develop
ment of the statute and the obvious
intention of the legislature in the va
rious enactments of which it is the
ultimate result"
