 LOSE SCALP
Hearst Charges Hard Blow -Foraker Cancels all
 Speaking Dates.

Cincinnati. O.Sept. 2O-United States Senator J. B. Foraker has cancelled all of his speaking en- agreements in the campaign. In a written request to National Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock, he asked to be relieved from the appointments which ad been ar. ranged for him by the national speakers bureau, and in a con- munication to State Chairman Williams, of the Ohio Republican committee, he made the same re- quest as to the engagements which had been arranged for him in this state.
 As to Senator Foraker's sena- torial candidacy, the Associated Press is authorized to state the senator's position as follows:
 Senator Foraker will leave the selection of his successor to the legislature, but will do all in his power to see that a republican legislature IS elected.
 In addition to this information Senator Foraker today told his friends that he should, at the proper and convenient opportun- ity, make a speech in answer to the Hearst charges and in defense of himself and then would cam paign the entire state in behalf of his senatorial candidacy. but under the jurisdiction of no politi- cal con mittee.

AT THE OPERA HOUSE.

The season of 19O8-O9 opened auspiciously last evening under the new management, with the presentation of Clarence Bennets biblical drama "The Holy City" to a full house.
 The management would have to look long and searchingly for a better play with which to open the season. If the succeeding plays that appear at the local theotre live up to the example set by the company which pre- sented The Holy City," we pre- dict a prosperous season for Messrs. Gordon and Morgan.

CRUDE B0MB HURLED AT AR
GENTINA PRESIDENT
Miscreant Who Attempts Assassina-
tion Believed to Be Insane.
Ruler Kicks Internal
Machine Away
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BUENOS AYRES, Feb. 2S.-Dr. j..
Figueroa Alcorta, president of the re-
public, early this evening was the OBJ
ject of an abortive attempt at assas-
sination at the hands of native of
Argentina. He hurled a crude bomb
at the president as the latter alighted
from his carriage in front of his resi-
dence.
The missile did not explode.
The miscreant, who is believed to
be insane, was arrested and three other
persons who were acting in sus-
picious manner also were taken into
custody by the police.
DR.. Alcorta was not at all perturbed.
He considers the action that of an
insane man.
The following official statement re-
garding the occurrence was given out
at the residence of President Alcorta
tonight:
His excellency was alighting from
a carriage about o'clock this evening
when an individual, who afterward was
identified as an Argentine of mixed
blood, named Solerao Regis, dropped
at the presidents feet a bomb which
happily did not explode.
"Dr. Alcorta, with great coolness,
promptly kicked the Internal machine
away from him, while his aid de camp,
Capt. Anabia, seized the criminal and
prevented his escape.
THE police Immediately procured q
pail of water, into which they placed
the bomb, which emitted a sulphurous
odor.
president Alcorta meantime had
turned to expostulate with the would
be assassin. but owing to the possi-
bility of the bomb exploding he was
gently aided to the porch of his resi-
dence by his aid.
1.-THE police afterward arrested three
men prowling in the neighborhood as
suspicious characters"
Regis refuses to give any informa-
tion concerning his action, though he
denies that he was the emissary of
anyone. The outrage is not believed to
have any political significance.

A Needed Resolution

The Rev. William r. Huntington of
New York said recently that 1t was
more dangerous to be railway brake
man than to be a murderer, and proved
his assertion with statistics showing
that one murderer in seventy three
was hanged, whereas one brakeman in
thirty was killed.
Discussing this startling fact the
other day DIR. Huntington said that the
widespread spirit of selfishness was no
doubt responsible.
I'VE incline" he said, ito put our
selves too far ahead of other people.
We could all make no better New
Year resolution than to be less selfish.
AS it is we are too much like the art
student.
There was. you know, a poor Yer
mont art student who shared a studio
bedroom with a journalist from Wis
consin.
"The Vermonter went out one morn
ing to do the marketing and brought
home two chops. He laid them on the
table and the cat leaped up and de-
voured one.

friend, the cat has eaten your chop
