result Of the election was declared De-

He asked the dismissal of this amend
ment.
MIR Wright went further to show the
authority given for the opening and ex-

Why the Ohio
Bills Were Held Up.

Taking up the three Archboid letters
relating to bills pending in the Ohio
legislature Senator Foraker said these
were introduced in the state Legislature
by A. T. Price. chairman Of the COM
mittee on the judiciary In 1900. At the
subsequent session of the legislature
they were materially amended and
passed and still remain on the statute
books. The amendment made them
more Objectionable to the corporation,
he said.
Senator Foraker produced lette,
written by Price 70 the late Judge viii
liam H. Webb, ~ Athens, Ohio. who
had made some inquiry regarding the
matter, and which letter, he said. ex-
planned it.
Price wrote that the bills were pre-
pared by Ex-Governor Nash. then the
executive Of ohio, and introduced by
him (Price). embodying Nash's ideas
on corporate legislation. The reason
they We're not passed az the 1900 SEES
sion OF the legislature was because the
national administration at Washington
feared their passage would jeopardize
the electorate vote of Ohio. According
TO Prices letter. at no time had
Foraker communicated with him
regarding the measure. but that
Governor Nash had said that Senator
Hanna had counseled him to abandon
the hil' a. that session; that he (Han-
MAJ had conferred with Foraker about
the matter and that Foraker concurred
In his Views. Two years later the bill

watch legislation. in which he said in
substance that action on the bills in
question was prepared at the instance
Of Senator Hanna His secretary is
now a Congre atonal minister i'm Phil
adelphia and was present at the hear
ing today
Referring to the letters introduced
yesterday by Mr. Hearst Mr. Foraker
said that none OF them was new. that
all had been published with one excep-
ton. That was letter from Aychbold
which showed that the money bor-
rowed from Archbold was spoken of in
a previous letetr had been returned by
him.
Senator Payuter called Mr.. Forakers
attention TO the fact that Mr. Hearst
had made a public statement concern
ing the repayment of the loan. Foraker
said he thought that was true.

SUES HUSBAND WHO
DISCIPLINES HER BY
REFUSING TO TALK

Mrs. Marie Clayton told superior
court today that her husband, Ernest c.
Clayton. believed that the proper meth
cd of disciplining a wife was TO give
her the famous West Point rcbuke-the
rule of silence. She said that she con
sidered it good grounds for divorce and
alimony
In a bill brought against Clayton to-
day she asserted that her husband had
lived with her for months at time

his last spell, she said, when he told
her 70 get a shotgun and kin herself
