CRAWFORD BACKED BY
FORAKER FOR SPEAKER

Cincinnati, Nov. 20.-Contending Re-
publican factions in the Ohio sena-
torial fight are formally aligning for
the fray.
The candidacy of DIR. A. ]. Craw-
ford, Athens, for speakership of the
house, shows that Foraker is form
ing his battle lines. Crawford is ac-
cepted as the Foraker candidate
against Franville Mooney, Ashtabula,
whose alliance with Burton is sus-
pected.
Foraker is going to fight for the
speakership with Senator Dick and
Charles Kurtz, of Columbus, leading
the field forces. This means sharp
fight all along the line, and an in
volving of the succession OF Foraker
in as bitter a fight as the Hanna
melee.

NIGHT PROWLER SHOT
IS BY EAST END WOMAN

Janos Vanhufer, Slav, is lying al
Mercy hospital in a precarious con-
dition, the result of a shot fired from
a revolver by a woman living ON
Cutter avenue, about 10:3O O'Clock Fri.
day night. Cutter avenue leads to the
northeast from Lake street, at a point
where the Harvard Dental Chair works
is located, running to a point beyond
the Malleable Iron works. This ave-
nue. is populated by many foreigners
who at times have created some trou-
BILE for the Americans that reside
there also. The story in this case
is best related by Mrs. Frank A. Mas
son, who lives at 2501. who did the
shooting. She related the circum-
stances to Captain Patterson, Detec-
tive Bour and Patrolman Penley. She
said that about 1890 o'clock she was
attracted by a knock at the rear dOol
of her home. She was afraid to open
the door and asked who was outside
"It's me, George" came back the re-
ply in a broken tongue, Believing that
1t was one of the foreigners she told
him to go away and then all was still
for a moment. Then she heard q
noise at the front door and made VI
her mind to see what was wanted
Her husband, who is employed at one
of the mills I'm the east end. was not
at home at the time and she was alone
with her little children. Slipping or
an old coat belonging to her husband
she picked up a revolver that had beer
bought for her protection and started
for the door. When she opeled the
door no person was visible, but upon
walking around the house she noticed
two men, who started to run as she
neared them. She fired one shot anC
as the men proceeded to run she
fired another and then went into the
house, not being aware that she haC
shot either of the men. One of thest
men was Vanhufer, who boards al
.2427 Cutter avenue not far distant

55 DRY
Eeunfies by New Years Says DR.
Marsh-Thirsty Buy currants
Over in Wayne.

'sBy New Years day the saloons will
Fave been voted out of 30 counties in
Ohio since the 26th of September.
This together with the five dry coun-
ties which we mad to start with, vii
make a total of SO counties in which
the work of the Anti-Saloon league
has been successful William Y.
Marsh. Superintendent of the Canton
district of the Ohio Anti-Saloon league
made such a statement yesterday, af-
ter returning from Jefferson county,
where he had been actively engaged
in campaigning preliminary to the
election there on the 23rd.
Since September 26th, 140S saloons
have been voted out of existence IN
Ohio. This number will be swelled
over the 1900 mark by the first of the
year. The counties that will vote
before New Years day are Huron, JEFF
ferson and Sandusky, Nov. %; Knox
December 1; Licking and Harding De
Cember Z; Allen, December IL; Aug
laise, Mercer and Medina, no definite
date set.
All sorts of evasions of the ban
which has been established upon ths
sale of liquor in the counties voted
dry, are being devised but 1he mos
unique of these methods heard of yet
is that practiced in Wayne county
Grocery stores there sell "currants'
as they do in all other places in the
United States. Three boxes for
quarter is the established price. Bu
in Wayne county if you can give the
proper pass word at certain ones o.
these stores, you are eligible to receive
two empty boxes labeled "currants,
and the third will contain the half
pint flask According to the advice'
received from that quarter, the "booz'
holsters" there are receiving this plal
much more favorably than that of con
tfensing whiskey in a tabloid form. :
