WIDOW JONES NO
LONGER A WIDOW

New York, September 1S.-The case OF
Widow Jones of Mobile, which has figured
prominently in the governments inyesti-
cation into the Standard Oil company,
came up again at today's session of the
hearing. In the past it has been through
the federal witnesses that the names of
widow Jones" was brought into the pro-
ceedngs, and the charge was made that
the Standard had driven her out of busi-
ness, thus depriving her of means of
livelihood for herself and children. To-
day, however, the defense was the moving
party, producing a letter from the
widow Jones' herself. 1t was written
from New Albany Ind, where the
widow Jones'" now Mrs. s. F. Wilson,
resides with her husband. 1t declared
that Mrs. Wilson had been much dis
tressed over the statements published in
the papers to the effect that she was
financially embarrassed, especially at the
time she had sold the business in Mobile
to the STANDARD. She never was, she de-
clared, in better financial condition than
at the time of the disposal of her oil bus
mess to the Standard.
This was the only letter produced by
c. P. Ceilings, second vice president of
the Standard Oil company, who last week
was directed by subpoenae to produce the
originals of certain letters wanted by the
government as evidence. He said that
the letters described in the subpoenae had
been destroyed.

CARELESSNESS OF
NURSE is FATAL

San Diego, Cal, September 1S.-Care-
lessness of a nurse in leaving water con-
tanning atropine where it was accidentally
used in taking medicine, has up to to-
night caused three deaths among patients
at the County hospital. A fourth death
is expected and four other persons are
seriously ill.,
The dead are: ]. C. Young, Charles
Kemp and Henry c.. Schute.
All patients were taken violently sick
Thursday afternoon and evidence of poi
son was so great than an investigation
was started Finally a nurse, Miss
Mary Arthur, 10 years old, seid that she
had neglected to throw out some watel
in which there was a quantity of afro
pine and that the patients had got hold
of it, She realized her mistake as soon
as the inmates became ILL., but did not
confess her error until the investigation
had brought the deaths almost home to
her.

ject the amendment. The matter will then

NEGRO QUESTION DISCUSSED

Vorys Will Not Comment on
Hearst-Foraker Incident.

Cincinnati September 1S.-Although the
Hearst Foraker controversy was the all,
absorbing topic of political discussion and
speculation here today. there was posi-
tive insistenee on the part OF those who
did the discussing and specializing that
what they said should not appear in print
from them. Judge Taft read Mr.. Fora
kers reply to Mr.. Hearst upon arriving
at his office shortly after II o'clock.
"You may say that 1 have nothing
whatever to say was his only COM
ment.
After an interview with Bishop Derrick
of the Ohio conference of the African
Methodist Episcopal church, in which the
entire negro political question was dis
cussed, and a conference with Mr., Silas
McBee of New York, editor Of The
Churchman, Mr.. Taft returned to the c.
p. Taft residence to continue work on
his speeches.
Senators Foraker and Dick lunched to-
gether at the Sinton hotel and let it be
known that they Intended calling on Mr.
Taft thereafter. When they had finished
their repast Mr.. Taft had gone home
not knowing of their intention. Senator
Dick went to the Taft residence later
and paid a short call on the candidate
1t was admitted that the Foraker situa-
ton was discussed briefly, and Mr. Taft
again announced that he had nothing to
say on the subject for publication.
A. |. vorys also declined to say any
thing on the subject.

Gave Out information.

Columbus, o., September 1S-Smith w.
Bennett of the attorney generals office
stated this morning that the statement
issued by Mr.. Hearst at the meeting here
last night was given by him about 10 days
ago and was secured by James d. Dor
rance of New York, who represented the
New York American. Mr.. Bennett stated
he had nothing to add to what had
already been said. When asked about
the letters alleged to have been written
to Senator Foraker by John D. Archbold,
he said he never knew of such letter
being written before. In reading the let
ter he said that reference to him in the
letter, which referred to the acceptances
and impression of Archbold, were proba bly,
secured when he put Archbold through
a severe cross-examination at the Hoff-
man house in New York in 1899, when
as attorney general for the state of Ohio
he was assisting in conducting the cases
against the Standard Oil company.
At that time Mr.. Archbold was put on
the witness stand and 1t became the
duty of Mr.. Bennett to examine him.
When asked whether or not Senator
Foraker opposed him in his fight for at
torney general he said: II do not think
so. The opposition came from the other
side of the Senate. OF course I do not
know what stand Foraker would have
taken had ! been nominated but my
name was never placed to the conven-
tion."
Mr.. Bennett was greatly interested in
the charges connecting G. II. Haskell
with the Standard Oil company, and said
as far as he could see from statements
made by Mr.. Hearst he (Bennett) was
the only one to have anything to laugh
at, and were he candidate at this time
he would certainly be supplied with facts
brought out by Mr. Hearst that would
aid him in his campaign fight.
