President Refuses to Become En-
thused over Outlook In Home
state, but Waves Olive Branch Of
Peace In shape OF Nomination to
Federal Position Of Former Sena-
tor Foraker's Brother - Leaders
Anxious to Secure His Cooperation.
Washington, Dec. 81. - President
Taft talked politics with several Wis.
itors and paid more attention to the
situation which confronts the Repub-
lican party in Ohio and in Indiana
than he has since he assumed office.
Mr.. Taft saw both Assistant Attorney
General Wade Ellis, who comes from
Ohio, and Former Representative
James E. Watson, who was defeated
in the last Indiana gubernatorial race.
In both Ohio and Indiana, 1t is as.
serted, the Republican party is not
In any too fourishing condition, and
in Ohio 1t is facing serious ques-
tion as to whom 1t shall nominate to
make the race for the governorship
at the next election. Mr.. Ellis has
been mentioned as possible candi.
date, and 1t was asserted he was will
Ing to become the candidate to op-
pose Mr.. Harmon.
Ohio Republican leaders are anx-
ious that President Taft interest him
self In the situation in the Buckeye
state. They declare that the fact
that Mr.. Taft was back of the Repub-
lican candidate, whoever he may be,
would have great weight at the elec,
tion.
So far Mr.. Taft has refused, 1t was
said, to become enthused over Ohio
politics, although he took one little
step that may be regarded as signifi-
cant when he sent list of nomina-
tions to the senate. In the list was
the name of Creighton M. Foraker,
brother Of Former Senator Foraker of
Ohio, with whom Mr.. Taft was not on
the most friendly terms year or two
ago. Mr.. Foraker has been United
States marshal of New Mexico for
three terms and this fourth nomina-
tion, 1t was said, may do much to
bury the hatchet so far as the faction
of the former senator is concerned.
The impression prevails that possi-
bly, Mr.. Taft has at last concluded
that there is more In the troubles of
his own state than he has hitherto
seen, and has decided that after all
he may enter into the game which
must be played to defeat Judson
Harmon or whoever is named by the
Democrats for the governorship.

RACE SUICIDE
NOT IN OHIO


Columbus, o., December 21.--
Monday marked the first anniversary
of the operation OF the Ohio law for
the collection of the vital statistics
of the state. In the year, there has,
In round numbers, been 100000
children born, and $4,000 persons
have died. The figures show that
race suicide is not yet in sight in
Ohio, as the normal increase in pop
ulation is going on, and the state is
not dependent entirely upon persons
moving here from elsewhere to keep
up its growth.

Media, Pa, Dec 21. = A horrible
crime was committed at Darlington
Delaware county, when two stalwart
negroes attacked and outraged Mrs,
Annie Litzenberg, about 60 years of
age, choked her and forced her to
tell where the money in the house
was kept, and robbed the house of
$202 after having tied her husband,
Edward S. Litzenberg, a farmer, and
a member of a well-known Delaware
county family, and left him in the
barn. They then made their escape,
and search is being made through
out the country for them. II they
fall into pther hands than the police,
summary vengeance will be meted
out.
Litzenberg was in the barn finish.
ing up the chores when the two me-
groes entered the building. They
spoke to him and then grabbed him,
tying his hands and feet, making him
resemble a ball. Mr.. Litzenberg, who
is about 75 years of age, was unable
to resist the attack.
The negro assailants then went to
the house, where Mrs. Lltzenberg
was doing her housework. They en-
tered the building and, selling Mrs.
LitZenberg, each in turn committed
an outrage on her. While each negro
was carrying out his fiendish purpose,
the other prevented Mrs. Litzenberg
from screaming. After committing
the assaults the negroes tied their
victim hand and foot and struck and
choked her, asking her where the
money in the house was kept. She
refused to tell them where the money
was hidden, but being tortured finally
admitted that 1t was put away in a
trunk on the second floor. The ne
groes left her helpless on the floor
and went to the trunk and secured
s202, mostly in small coins, savings
of the two aged country folk. After
securing the money the negroes
hastily left the place, but in what d.
rection is not known.
In the meantime. the husband had
released himself from the rope with
which he was tied and run to the
Girls House of Refuge, which is not
far distant. He gave an alarm and
watchmen and two farmers who are
employed at the institution accompa-
MED him back to his home.
When the house was reached the
men found Mrs. Litzenberg tied and
abused, and they released her. She
was almost prostrated for time, but
was not seriously injured.
The alarm was at once sent out
and an armed posse was quickly or
ganized, and the country In all direc-
tions is being secured in search for

= President Taft is in thorough sym

sire for probing into the coal land
cases and the ewater-power site contro-

made on Mr.. Ballinger are the most
outrageous ever directed against a
public man, and has expressed indig-
snation owing to them. In the presi-

sderstanding of some of those who
have his confidence, Mr.. Ballinger's
official conduct has been absolutely

what he has done as secretary of the
interior or into his conduct as com.
missioner of the general land Office

The attack made last week on Mr..

much to do with the decision of the
secretary OF the interior to ask con.
