Hearst Reads Letters

ST LOUIS. Sept l8.-Hcarst, in
a speech opening the Independence
party campaign in Missouri here to-
night, answered the reply Of Senator
Foraker to letters read by Hearst at
Columbus last night and read two
more. letters from Archbold, Of the
Standard Oil Company, to Foraker.
The new letters, Hearst said, refute
the claim Of the Ohio senator that
all his work for the Standard Oil re-
lated solely to Ohio matters. Kisses
greeted the speaker when he assailed
Bryan and the Democratic party.
Not only did Hearst reply to For
aker, but he devoted a portion OF his
speech to Governor Haskell, OF Okla
homa, whom he charged with having
served the Standard Oil Company,
and said that apparently Haskell had
got out Of his work with the Stand
ard Oil, the chairmanship Of the Dem
ocratic national convention and the
treasureship OF the Democratic ma.
tional committee.
Foraker, according to Hearst,
would not have admitted he was in
the employ Of the Standard had he
known Hearst read the letters TO-
might, but would have denied the en-
tire matter The first letter follows:

GONE FAITH-MAD

CHICAGO, Sept. le.-While oJs
Bulanda stormed at the doors OF the
county hospital last night yainly
seeking admission to protect his son
from the surgeons knife. Judge Tut
hill. OF the juvenile court, was con
soling the boy and cndcavoring to
have his consent to the operation,
which is expected to save his life,
Bulanda has said that he would rather
the boy would die than to allow his
arm to be amputated.
The surgeons will amputate the
gangrene- affected arm today, and il
the father attempts to carry out his
threat to do bodily harm to Warden
Happel and the operating physicians
he will be arrested.
The father said he had engaged a
faith healer, who guaranteed TO save
the boys arm as we'll as his life. The
warden was told that $4,000 damage
suits would be started against him
and all persons taking part in the
operation, but he did not heed the
three.
at is simply a case OF ignorance
against science said Warden Hap
pei. "The arm will come off, despite
Bulanda's threats. The boys life is
at stake, and the operation is the only
thing that will save it."
