FORAKER RAPS
ROOSEVELT AND
JUDGE TAFT

CINCINNATI. Sept. Ex-senator For
aker last night made public a defense OF
his connection with the Standard oil Trust
and incidentally took a few jabs at Mr..
Roosevelt and Judge Taft. Foraker shows
by letters that he declined a retainer from
the Standard Oil where the business pro-
posed would have interfered with his
Senate duties to the people, that he ad-
vocated legislation not approved by any
OF the big corporations. including the
Rockefeller outht and that the retainer
he accepted in Ohio was not 20 kill legis'
lation but to guide the Standard OIL in
following the statutes. The Ohio Senator
sums up his own case by saying that he
did nothing that able lawyers were not
accustomed to do. and the specific
work paid for carried with il no obllga-
ton TO be a friend of the Standard oil IN
the Senate.
Having taken about 5000 words 10 win
dicate" himself. Foraker uses the rest Of
his defense in attempting to prove the in
sincerity OF Judge Taft and the President
He points out that only few weeks ago
Mr.. Taft was the guest of Standard oil
men on his trip to Middle Bass Island;
that three years ago he recommended a
STANDARD Oil lawyer for a judgeship, and
that both Taft and the President are toe
much mixed up in this way to throw
bricks at him.

GENERAL DUPONT
OUT OF THE CITY

General T. Coleman DUPONT, who has
resigned from the head of the Repub-
lican National speakers bureau and
from the Republican Executive Com
mittee, had not returned to Whining
ton today. II is expected by promi-
nent Republicans here that General
duPont's action will not affect the
Delaware situation in any way other
than to benefit it, for it will give Gem
eral DUPONT an opportunity to bestow
more time upon his own state
Notwithstanding his resignation
from the responsible positions in the
Republican national organization it is
expected that Geeral dupont will still
take an active interest in the cam
paign and that his advice and general
knowledge of conditions will be eagerly
sought by the Republica leaders
throughout the country.

vent the marriage Of the Duke to Miss

The moment the news Of Miss Ions
dale's suit reached Rome, the Dowager
Queen got busy. She declared that
the suit was proof that it would be a
disgrace for a member Of the Italian
royal household TO marry into such a
family.

She finally wrote to King Victor EN-
manuel. who is a cousin of the Duke,
reiterating her opposition to the we'd
ding and citing the ElSins suit as suf-
fcient reason for his firm and immedi-
ate interference.
In this letter she asserted also that
the marriage would most assuredly be
followed by a series Of scandals that
would embarrass italian ropalty. These
scandals in 10 way involve either tho
Duke or Miss ElSins. the Dowagei
Queen saws. but the marriage would
open the way for their exposure.
