TAFT HUNTS FOR
THE W|SEST MAN
Trouble Encountered by Pres
ident-EIect in Selecting
Secretary of State.
NAMES ARE CANVASSED
ROOT MIGHT HAVE ACCEPTED
PLACE AGAIN HAD HIS WAY TO
THE SENATE NOT BEEN CLEAR.
ED FOR HIM.

Hot Springs, Va, Dec. 1.-Wanted-
a man with the qualifications for the
office of secretary of state. That is,
not a man who thinks he possesses the
qualifications, but does not, but a man
who, according to the ideas of Judge
Taft, is fitted to sit at the head of his
cabinet table.
The president-elect is engaged just
now in canvassing the names of sew
eral men having attainmeny; essential
to the proper fulfillment of the duties
of the premier of the next admins
tration
Judging from what he said last ev-
ening they do not quite come up to
the standard he has fixed in his mind
and for that reason he will reach no
conclusion in the immediate future up-
on the successor to Elihu Root, who.
is designed to succeed Thomas c.
Platt in the United States senate on
the fourth of next March.
AS is generally known, Mr.. Taft
would appoint Mr.. Root to his present
position and the latter doubtless
would accept provided his way had
not been cleared to seat in the up
per branch of congress. Mr.. Roots
record at the head of the state depart
ment is the kind which appeals to the
president elect and, for this reason
it is difficult for him to pick the man,
who, in his Judgment, who could do
equally well.
Needs a Smart One.
On account of his thorough famil-
iarity with international affairs and
the relations which the United States
has with foreign countries. together
with many delicate and intricate ques-
tions that are now in process of ad-
justmen Mt, Mr.. Taft realizes the great
need of a strong man of Mr. Roots
type in the state department. Conse-

USED The MAILS
TO CATCH OUPtS
Thomas 0'Connor and His
Wife Had "InSide" Infor-
nation on Market.

New York, April 21.-Thomas O'Con-
nor and his wife, Frances O'Connor.
also known as Frances McLain, we're
found guilty today by a jury in the
United States circuit court on two
counts of an indictment charging them
with using the mails TO defraud.
Judge Tolt sentenced O'Connor to if
teen months in Clinton prison, and sus-
pended sentence on Mrs. O'Connor.
The OCOnnorS were charged--With
sending circulars throughout the coun-
try by mail saying that they had inside
information on the stock market and
could so advise clients that the latter
could not fail to reap big profits in
speculation. Mrs. O'COnnor under the
name of Frances McLain, posed as the
possessor of inside information" In
her circulars she suggested certain So
called stock brokerage firms as relia bic
and the best able to handle the business
of clients.
The brokerage firms were shown
during the trial to be conducted by
OCOnnOr under various names.
They invariably either closed out the
deals of victims at loss TO the latter
or else failed" when the demands for
payments of profits became too in
SiStent.

surrounding Mrs. Maria Louisa Hunt,
the elderly woman whose negotia tons
for securities and realty have been puz-
Zling the local bankers and police. was
cleared today, when the police received
q telephone message from Frank c.
Hunt, her son, a mining engineer at
Galena, Kan. Mr.. Hunt teIephoned the
police that the woman was his mother.
He asked them TO hold her, saying he
would Immediately come to Kansas
City to take care of Mrs. Hunt.
In his talk with the police Mr.. Hunt
said that the woman had visited in
Yuma, Ariz., where she had a relative
named ClymeT, but had never been In
Los Angeles, as she claimed. When ap-
prised of this statement by the police
today, Mrs Hunt said that there must
be some mistake, as she knew of no one
named Clymer. However, she carried
a letter, mailed in Yuma some time
ago and signed Clymer
Mrs. Hunt is IS years old. She is of
very refined appearance, and although
her actions here in the past few weeks
in negotiating big deals which she
never carried TO conclusion, were con-
sidered strange, the police say she has
committed no criminal act and there
is no excuse fer holding her. Mrs. Hunt
had used several names while here.

Street MEETINGS BARRED
Mayor of Cincinnati Turns Down
Request Made by Missionaries
of Mormon Church.
Especial to The Herald.

Cincinnati. April 21.-Mayor Markdreit
has put the lid on the Mormon mission
aries who are working in the vicinity
of Cincinnati. The mayor today refused
representatives of the church a permit
to hold street meetings on the ground
that il would be against public policy.
One of the elders of the church. who
said his name was Bills, came here from
Columbus and applied for the permit, eN-
planning that two other elders would as
sist in the proposed open air services to
make converts TO Mormonism. One meet
ing has already been held in Cincinnati
but the permit was given under mis-
apprehension. Though the mayor did not
saw so. it is believed it was misrepre-
sentation rather than Misrepresentation
that secured the first permit, and for
that reason ali applicants for permission
to hold street meetings were more close
~ questioned today than heretofore
The ruling of the mayor has in some
quarters added fuel to the feeling
aroused over alleged police supervision Of
free speech and the right of public as
sembIy. The mayor. however. is deter
mined that no branch of the Mormon
church shall be established here if he
can help it. Had they known about the
one meeting held here the authorities say
il would have been suppressed

PART OF THE CORRUPTION FUND USED
AGAINST BRYAN IN WINTER Of 1893
Explanation of Thomas F. Ryan in Regard to the 100000
Put Up by Metropolitan Company.

1t may not have been for the cleo
ton of 1900, but during the fall and
winter of 1899 there had been a prelim-
mary campaign going on. 1t was
thought perhaps Bryan could be de-
teated in Kansas City, but 1t was a
foregone conclusion that Mr.. Mckinley
would be renominated, and part of the
money may have gone for that"
Signed Statement.
In signed statement given out last
night, Mr.. Ryan said the money repaid
to him and his associates following the
Wall and Cortland street franchise was
the precise amount. with interest
which had been advanced by Messrs.
DOlan, Whitney, Ryan. Widener and
Ell<ins to cover expenditures which had
been made for the benefit of the prop
erty. Replying TO d question by Mr.
Jerome regarding campaign COntribu-
tons in general, Mr. Ryan replied:
II have always found political parties
in receptive mood. We were always
informed when an election was coming
on"

New York April 21.-Part of the
100000 involved i'm the Wall and Cort-
land Street Ferries company deal
which has been under investigation by
grand jury for several months, may
have been used in the campaign which
preceded the presidential election in

fore the jury by Thomas F. Ryan. Por-
tons of the testimony given by various
witnesses during the investigation were
filed with the clerk of the supreme
court today by order of Justice Dow

From this it appears that when Mr..
Ryan was questioned about cOntribu-
tions for campaign purposes, and par
ticularly regarding the payment of
nearly 81 200. 000 by the Metropolitan
company for the Wall and Cortland
street franchise, and the subsequent
payment Of several hundred thousand
