Expected That Taft Will
Dump Senior Senator.

Cincinnati, o.. Sept. 1S.-That he
had beer several years ago an attor-
ney for the Standard Oil company,
terminating such service before the
federal prosecution of that concern
but that such employment had nothing
to do with matters pending in con-
gress or in which the federal govern

of a brief statement made today by
United States Senator Foraker in an
swer to the charges made by William
r. Hearst in Columbus last night.

screens over the meat that is being
peddlei about the city in wagons. He
says that he has adopted this plan
some time ago and that he would not
want to return to the old way, having
people finger and founder around ev-
cry piece of meat in his wagon and
then LET it alone for the very next
customer to do the same thing. AT

CELERY MEN
Have Hearing in Case
Against Pacific
Express
SAY RATE is RUINOUS

Cleveland, Sept. 1S.-Excessive ex-
press rates threaten the celery indus
try of Hartville, Stark county, ac
cording to testimony of Oscar
Schwartz before Examiner George N.
Brown Of the interstate commerce
commission, at a special hearing in
Cleveland, Friday.
Schwartz is president of the Hart
vile Celery Growers association,
whose complaint against the Pacific
Express Co. was on hearing.
The association charges that the
express company, which carries celery
from Hartville to Pittsburg, has in
creased the rate on celery from 33 1-3
cents a hundred pounds to so cents.
I'VE formerly shipped our celery
to Pittsburg by way Of Alliance
through the Adams Express Co" said
Schwartz. 1--WE were charged 40 cents
crate of 120 pounds. The Pacific
Express Co. established an Office at
Hartville in October, 1905, and offered
to carry celery at the same rate.
I'VE accepted the proposition and
began shipping by this company. 1t
raised the rate to 40 cents in October,
1906, and to so cents in October, 1907.
1--WE consider this rate excessive.
Only 40 cents is charged from Alliance,
Meyersville and Greentown, which are
an equal distance from Pittsburg.
"The difference in rate has worked
hardship on the celery raisers of
Hartville. The industry there is thriv-
ing, but it needs encouragement. There
is much land fit for celery growing
which should be developed"
The Pacific Express Co. in answer
ing said so cents was not an unreas-
enable rate.

with wine room connections and
houses of i'll fame in which intoXi-
cants were sold. The result of that
visit was the closing of a number of
wine rooms and saloons which were
visited by women and lewd persons
took hint and kept the women out
OF the places. Not all of those who
had such places paid attention to the
warning and now the fruits of the
representatives visit here are COM
mencing to show up. Friday after
noon George Thomas, who is connect
ed with the association, went into
the city hall and had affidavits prepar-
ed for A. B. Clark, keeper of saloon
on South Piedmont street; August G..
Hahn, proprietor of place on South
Saxton street, and Nellie Callahan,
who presides over place kept at 606
East Tuscarawas street. Clark is
charged with keeping place where
disorderly persons congregateS but
says nothing about women. The atfi-
davit against Hahn is different, for it
charges him with selling drinks in a
place where women are haTbored. The
affidavit against the Callahan woman
charges that she sells drinks in a
house of i'll fame. All three parties
were placed under arrest by Chief
Smith and will appear before Mayor
Turnbull at o'clock Saturday morn

HEARST'S CHARGES
ARE SENSATIONAL

Columbus. O., sept. 1S.-A great po-
litical sensation, involving Senator
Joseph B. Foraker and the Standard
Oil company, was sprung by William
Randolph Hearst at Memorial hall
here yesterday, before an audience
that packed the auditorium.
Hearst declared that Foraker was
the paid servant of the Standard, and
to substantiate his charge, he read
four letters, alleged to be duplicates
of missives sent to Foraker by John
D. Archbold, financial head of the
Standard, enclosing nearly $4,000 to
the senator, with expressions of es-
teen.
These letters have been given me
by a gentleman who has intimate as
sociations with this giant corporation,
the Standard Oil company, but whose
name | may not divulge lest he be
subjected to the persecution OF this
monopoly" Hearst said.
Here is the first letter
rs Broadway,
New, York, March 8, 1900.
My Dear Senator: l have your
favor of last night with in
closure, which latter with letter
from Mr.. Elliott, commenting on
the same, beg to send you
forthwith. Perhaps 1t would be
better to make a demonstration
against the whole bill, but GER
tainly the ninth clause to which
Mr.. Elliott refers should be
stricken out and the same is true
of house bill No 500, also intro
duced by Mr. Price in relation to
foreign corporations, in which the
same Objectionable clause occurs.
Am glad to hear you think the
situation is we'll in hand. Yours
truly, JOHN D. ARCHBOLD.

ton, D. C.
Two others dated February 16, 1900,
are as follows:
Dear Senator: In accordance
with your understanding / now
beg to inclose your certificate of
deposit to your favor Of $4,000.
Kindly acknowledge receipt and
oblige, your very truly,
JOHN D. ARCHBOLD.
My Dear Senator Foraker There
is still another very Objectionable
bill, it is so outrageous as to be
ridiculous, but it needs to be
looked after and l hope there
will be no 5ifficulty in killing it,
Am anxious to hear from you as
to the situation as a whole. Very
truly yours.
JOHN D. ARCHBOLD.
"You will see. gentlemen, that these
letters are not read at random. but
have a natural sequence" said Mr.
Hearst "Now here is the next" con-
tinued Hearst:
26 Broadway,
New York, April II, 1900.

post to your favor or $14,500. We
