CLtEV I : L . A XD, O., April 9. (Special.)
Senator Joseph Benson Foraker will, un
less present plans miscarry, open his cam
paign against Secretary of War Taft at
Canton tomorrow night. He is to be the
guest of honor at a banquet to be given
by the Canton Board of Trade, and, while
the toplo assigned him is "Civic Pride,"
It Is expectod that he will devote most of
his speech to state and National politics
and take a few fllng-s at the Taft Presi
dential movement. The banquet is in ab
solute charge of his friends, and there
will be no attempt to Interfere with his
plans.
Mr. Foraker will go to Columbus
Thursday morning, where he will hold a
conference with his lieutenants. He will
discuss the Taft Presidential movement
In Ohio, and no doubt will deiv.se plans
to counteract the sweep of sentiment in
the Secretary of War's favor .
State Insurance Commissioner Voorhls
tonight announced that he had received
reports from every county in the state and
That each says the Taft sentiment Is
strong, in some cases being overwhelm
ingly for the Secretary of War. The Taft
campaign Is In full swing, headquarters
having been established In the new First
National Bank building. In Columbus. Mr.
Foraker is expected to open his headquar
ters in Columbus the latter part of this
week.
Just at this stage of the game of poll
tics as played by Mr. Taft and Mr. Fora
ker for the high stakes of the Republican
nomination for President, the former cer
tainly seems to be fast gathering in
pretty much everything that is in sight
In the Buckeye State.
WASHINGTON, April 9. Senator For
aker left tonight for Canton, O., where
he will make an address before the Board
of Trade tomorrow night.

KANSAS IS WITH ROOSEVELT
Curtis Says It Would Vote for Re
nomination if He Is Willing.
WASHINGTON, April 9 Senators Hans
brough and Curtis saw the President to
day. The latter declared that Kansas
Is for the President and his policies.
"If the President should conclude that
he will take the nomination again, Kan
sas will no doubt support him. If some
other man Is to be nominated and the
President's policies are attacked on the
floor of the convention, Kansas will sup
port the President," added the Sena
tor. Delegate Andrews, of New Mexico, a
close friend of Senator Penrose, who. It
lias been charged, was the "prominent
man" who gave away the story of the
alleged combination against the President,
was at the White House again today.
This Is his fourth visit. He refused to
talk when asked whether Mr. Penrose was
expected at the White House. No appoint
ment has been made for the Senator.
ACH AROUSES JUDGE DUNNE
Ruef's Lawyer Rebuked for Slurs
Cast on Prosecution.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 9. Four tales
men wero examined today in the Ruef
trial. Two of them withstood the qualifi
cation tests and were passed into the box
as probation Jurors. They are James
Otis, a commission merchant, and Simon
Varnhagen, a produce dealer. The other
two, Frederick H. Coon, a salesman, and
Theodore F. J. Kast, a grocer, were ex
cused for bias.
As a result of the day's proceedings the
number of Jurors who have qualified but
are yet subject to peremptory challenges
was Increased to seven, and five more
talesmen remain to be examined before
the present panel is exhausted and it
becomes necessary to draw a fresh panel
of 100 or 200 from the regular Jury list
or order a special venire from the body
of the county.
The statement by the defense recently
made that it will exercise all of its ten
peremptory challenges is taken, to mean
that none of these seven veniremen thus
far passed into the box will be permitted
to try the case.
The feature of today's proceedings was
a heated encounter by Special Prosecutor
Hiram Johnson and Henry Ach, of coun
sel for Ruef, and repeated admonishings
to Mr. Ach by Judge Dunne that his con
duct was "most reprehensible."
The examination of Mr. Coon, a sales
man, was conducted by Mr. Johnson. In
examining for the defense Mr. Ach de
veloped a doubt of the juror's name being
on the assessment roll and he was
temporarily passed until the roll Is pro
duced in evidence.
In the course of an exhaustive examin
ation by Mr. Ach for the defense Mr.
Otis admitted that he had gained from
newspaper reading a very strong impres
sion that Ruef was a dishonest and cor
rupt man. "But." said the Juror, "I
could put that Impression aside long
enough to give him a fair trial."
Mr. Otis said that the returning bv the
grand Jury against Ruef of 65 indictments
for bribery had greatly strengthened his
belief In Ruef's guilt, as did also Ruef's
failure to appear for trial and the dec
laration by the court that he was a
fugitive from Justice. At this point Mr.
Ach reverted to the line of examination
previously employed by the defense to
determine whether In the' minds of tales
men there existed the belief that Judge
Dunne considered Ruef guilty and desired
his conviction.
Though Mr. Ach's question was adroitly
put It apparently roused the Indignation
of the court. "Don't ask any more ques
tions on that point," commanded Judge
Dunne.
"Does your honor mean," said Mr. Ach,
"tliat I am not to ask this juror or any
other Juror whether his mind has been
influenced toward the defendant by any
belief tbe juror might have gained, though
erroneously, as to what the court desired
In this case?"
"That is exactly what I mean," was
the reply.
The most Interesting Incident happened
when Mr. Ach asked Mr. Otis whether
if any contributions to the prosecution
had been made that fact would influence
his attitude toward the defendant, Mr.
Johnson angrily objected to the question
and questioned the sincerity of the de
fense in asking it.
"The gentleman knows," he declared,
"that not one-quarter of a penny has
been so contributed and he cannot pro
duce any reputable witness to the con
trary. He does not attempt to support
his insinuation, which was made purely
for the purpose of casting a slur upon
counsel for the people."
Mr. Ach, in a sarcastic rejoinder, ex
cepted to "the harangue" of the counsel
for the prosecution.
"Will you name your informant?" de
manded Mr. Johnson.
"None of your business,'' shouted Mr.
Ach.
"I will say, Mr. Ach," observed the
court, "that I think it would be a much
more manly and honorable procedure for
you to assist the court by naming your
informant than for you to cast out these
"nslnuations."
Mr. Ach, much excited, made this re
ply: "I except to the remarks of the court.
I know my business as an attorney and
I don't need any lecture from the court
or from anybody else as to my manli
ness." Mr. Ach finally took his seat after sev
eral admonitions by Judge Dunne, who
informed the attorney that his conduct
was "most reprehensible."

David Starr Jordan Sees the Silver
Lining In Graft Cloud.
LINCOLN, Neb., April 9. In a lecture
here tonight, President David Starr
Jordan, of Leland Stanford University,
referred to the municipal corruption in
San Francisco. He said there 'was evi
dence of graft, but there was satisfac
tion in the fact that most of the graft
ers were either In custody, in jail or out

WASHINGTON, April 9. According to
a decision reached by the Interstate Com
merce Commission today, E. H. Harrlman
will be made to appear in the United
States Circuit Court in New Tork in
answer to proceedings to compel him to
answer certain questions which he refused
to answer when he was on the stand
at the recent hearing by the Commission
in New York. The action will be brought
as soon as Messrs Kellogg and Severance,
special counsel, can prepare the case for
court.
The hearing at which Mr. Harrlman ap
peared was in connection with certain
transactions of the TTninn Pacific On
advice of counsel he refused to answer
the questions put to him. It was brought j
.jut in mo LcoLimuiiy inai tne union pa
cific owned a large amount of Southern
Pacific stock. Mr. Harrlman was asked
whether any and, if so, how much of
that stock belonged to himself, when he
bought It and what price he paid for. it,
but he declined to answer.
Another question which he refused to
answer flnri that nn -orhloH th. ('nmmlH
sion desires light was whether or not any 1
or me directors or tne union pacific were
interested in the sale of certain shares
of stock of the New Tork Central Rail
road at the time they were sold to the
Union Pacific,
TO WRING ANSWER FROM KTJHX
Interstate Commission Asks Court
to Compel a Reply.
NEW YORK, April 9. It was said on
seemingly good authority in this city to
night that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission would ask for an order compelling
Otto H. Kahn to answer the questions
that he refused to answer at the hearing
here. These questions were mainly in re
gard to what interest the directors of the
Union Pacific had In the stocks that were
turned over to that road by Kuhn, Loeb
& Co., of which Mr. Kahn Is a member.
Another question that the commission
will ask Mr. Harrlman, it is said, is what
he paid for the St. Joseph & Grand Island
stock that he sold to the Union Pacific.
Arguments will be heard by the Circuit
Court on the petition for the orders. If
the decision is against the commission an
appeal, it is said, will be made to the
United States Supreme Court.

NEW BUCKET-SHOP TALK
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce
Begins Inquiry.
MLNXEAPOLIS. April 9. Testimony
given today by A. S. Hicks, a former
broker of Superior, together with the
evidence of A. W. Harris, given Satur
day, indicates that the local chamber of
Commerce, in its action against the board
has unearthed a bucketshop scandal
affecting St. Paul. MlnneapoUs, Cincin
nati, St. Louis. Omaha, and Kansas City
and- other Western cities.
The action of the Chamber of Com
merce is brought to prevent the use of
its quotations by the Superior Board of
Trade, the Wisconsin Stock & Grain
Company and. the Superior Clearing-
House, all of which concerns are made
defendants to the suit. It Is also alleged
that these companies are aU affiliated and
connected with the Edwards-Wood Com
pany, on behalf of which It obtained an
injunction some months ago.
Hicks testified that he was hired by
the Edwards-Wood Company, in St. Paul
and sent to Superior with instructions,
"to trade and make a market." While
there he bought and sold many hundred
thousand bushels of wheat without orders
from Wood or any one else. He said
his transactions were all with two men
whom he knew to be in Edwards-Wood
employ.
