CINCINNATI, Ohio, Sept. 19. As
a part of the purchase money in the
unsuccessful deal for the ownership
of the Ohio State Journal at Colum
bus, a draft for $50,000 mentioned
in the John D. Archlbold letter made
public last night in St. Louis by W.
R. Hearst, was received by Senator
Foraker and on the failure of the
attempt to buy that paper, the draft
was returned and the Incident forgot
ten, according to the statement to
the Associated Press by Senator Fo
raker here today.
Senator Foraker declares that no
one at any time ever paid him a cent
or suggested any such payment in
view of anything he might do as
a public man.
Mr. Foraker said that he knew
nothing of any suggestion of a
change in the arrangements for the
Republican club meetings Tuesday in
this city.
MAY CUT FORAKER.
Senator May Be Requested to Forget
Republican Invitation.
(Bv Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Sept. 19. It was
reported this afternoon on what
seemed to be sufficient authority, al
though the national headquarters
were dumb on the subject, that Sen
ator Foraker will be asked to with
draw as one of the speakers at the
meeting of the League of Republican
Clubs at Cincinnati next Tuesday.
Mr. Foraker was scheduled to speak
on that occasion on tho same plat
form with W. H. Taft.
It was learned late today that no
definite decision has been reached
on extending any such request to
Senator Foraker. John Hayes Ham
mond Is on his way to Cincinnati and
it Is thought likely that he will have
a talk with Foraker on the subject.
TAFT IS SIIiENT.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 19. W. H.

to be drawn into tho Harst-Foraker

PREFERS DOGS TO RABIES.
Latter a Niiisnncc, Says New York
Woman, But Dogs Are "Deal's."
CHICAGO, Sept. 19. Dogs are
better than babies, according to Mrs.
W. E. Godfred, a wealthy New York
woman who is at the Auditorium
Hotel. She is the owner of four dogs
who have travelled with her across
tho continent.
"Babies are a nuisance," she said.
"They cry from morning to night,
are almost always sick and must be
watched every moment of the time or
they will swallow a bottle of ink or
try to see whether a hammer will
break the curved glass front of your
bookcase.
"Now, dogs are different. They
are dears. They're affectionate and
lovable. One can pour out hor af
fection on them and it will be return
ed in a like measure. Between babies
and dogs, give me dogs.
"Now, honey boy, darling, Just
keep quiet for a moment until the
picture man gets through and mam
ma will kiss you," said Mrs. Godfrey,
petting one of tho dogs.

Washington Man Declares
That Oklahoma Governor Is
Wrong In Blame.
(By Associated Press.)
CHICAGO, Sept. 19. Governor
Haskell of Oklahoma, declared as
false today the statement of W. R.
Hearst, that he had been connected
with the Standard Oil Company.
"On the day the affidavits are said
to have been signed, September 12,
1908. Mr. Monnett was in Oklahoma
City and on that day he made a
speech in which he exonerated me
from all connection with the Stand
ard Oil Company. It is unbelievable
that any man would make a speech
and on the same day' sign an afflvadlt
stating the contrary thing. There is
no truth in the charges."
DENIES THE CHARGE.
Washington Huskell Snys He Is Not
the Man.
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 19.
Governor Haskell last night named
W. C. Haskell, formerly United Sta
tes Marshal at Cleveland, but now
sealer of weights and measures In the
District of Columbia, as the Has
kell referred to by W. R. Hearst as
having relations with the Standard
Oil Company. Mr. Haskell said to
day that Governor Haskell was mis
taken as he never had any relations
whatever, business or social, with the
officials or members of the Standard
Oil Company.
"NO TAINTED MONEY."
Bryan Declares That Democracy Is
Unsoiled.
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Sept. 19. In a sta
tement today, W. J. Bryan said,
"The Standard Oil Company has con
tributed nothing to the Democratic
party." This is in denial to the
charg'es of W. R. Hearst.
Mrs. E. J. Hansen Severely In
jured Near F. A. Golden
Home Last Evening.
Mrs. E. J. Hansen of Marshfield,
sustained a compound fracture of her
arm, her daughter, Mary," was badly
bruised about the face and one of her
twin babies badly bruised in a run
away north of Ferndale last evening.
The accident was the result of one
of D, Ferguson's horses being fright
ened by a double tree breaking
while Mr. Ferguson was driving the
Hansen family homo from a visit at
his place. Those who saw the run
away consider It miraculous that
more of tho occupants of the rig
which was reduced to smithereens
were not injured.
Mr. Ferguson, Mrs. Hansen and
her six children were In the rig. As
flley were coming up near Superin
tendent F. A. Golden's residence, the
doublo tree broke, allowing the sin
gle tree to fall on one of tho horse's
heels. Instantly the animals started
and of course it was impossible for
Mr. Ferguson to do anything with
them, the rig zig-zagglng along until
it overturned and threw the occu
pants out.
Mrs, Hansen was carried to Supt.
Golden' residence where Dr. Ingram
was called. Later, all were removed
to their homes.

There was no additional news of
the dredge today but a large number
in Marshfield and North Bend are on

that the dredge will arrive tonight,

planning to go down Into the lower
bay early in tho morning and await
tho coming of tho vessles.
Owing to tho uncertainty of the
time of arrival of the dredge, there

LITTLE BOY
Dewey Stutsman Rescues
James Marsden In Bay
This Afternoon.
Dewoy Stutsman, the young son of
Air. and Mrs. A. H. Stutsman, saved
James Marsden, tho nine-year old son
of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Marsden, from
drowning In the Bay this afternoon
by showing rare presence of mind at
a critical moment. Young Marsden
had gone down twice before the
Stutsman boy was able to get down
to him and hold him until other help
arrived.
The accident occurred on the
wharf. The boys had been playing
around there and in some manner
young Marsden fell In. One of the
other lads called to Dewey who was
near by and he rushed to save the
drowning boy. He knew he couldn't
do it by jumping in but as he glanced
down and saw tho Marsden lad come
up the first time, ho spied a piece of
pipe projecting from tho wharf.
Hastily descending to It, ho caught
hold of it and lowered his feet into
the bay near -whero tho Marsden lad
was coming up the second time. The
Marsden boy grabbed hold of young
Stutsman and kept his head out of
the water until Ray Ollvant reached
tho srene and extricated tho twe
boys from their perilous position.
