President In His Statement, Says
Taffs Deft Would Bring Ever
lasting Satisfaction to That Set of
Men Behind Poraker.
OYSTER BAY, Sept. 2l.-Late to
day Secretary Locb gave to repre
sentatives of the press a formal state
ment by the president which was call
cd forth by the recent statement of
exchange between W. R. Hearst and
Senator Forakcr. Hearst in public ut
terances had accused the Senator of
relation with the Standard Oil Com
pany, as inconsistent with hU duties
at Senator, and his attitude as repre
sentative of Republican policies and
professions. In today's . utatcment
Roosevelt makes another appeal for
the support of Taft and declares that
his defeat would bring "Lasting satis
faction to but one set of men, namely,
. to those men who, as shown in the
correspondence published by Hearst
were behind Forakcr, the opponent
of Taft within his own party and who
is now behind Governor Haskell and
hi associates, the opponents of Taft
In the opposite party." The statement
embodies a letter written by Taft to
a friend in Ohio on July 20, 1907, in
which the present Republican candi
date refused to acquiesce in the plan
of the state central committee to en
dorse Taft for the presidncy and Kor
akcr for redction to the senate in a
single resolution. The president
points out that Taft's attitude has
been always directly opposed to that
charged against Foraker by Hearst
regarding the moneyed interests. The
president cites the Brownsville affair
as a case where agitation was the
phase'of an effort, "By the represen
' tatives of a certain law defying cor-
porations to bring discredit upon the
administration." It was, he says, in
a large part, "not, a genuine agitation
MR. SETTEM STEPS
OUT, MR. MACK IN
iany Will Regret to Learn of Resignation of the
Well Known Astoria Water Baliff
' The many friends of Ole J. Settem,
the water bailiff, will regrel to learn
that he has placed his resignation in
the hands of II. C. McAllister, the
State Fish Warden, who is in the
city. Announcement of this fact was
made by Mr. McAllister to a repre
sentative of The Astorian last night.
Mr, Settem is widely known in As
toria and up and down the river, and
he has always been approved as a
man of strong and conscientious views
and that he has done his duty as bail
off is attested by his record.
Mr. Settem's place is to be taken
by W. A. Mack, for many years water
bailiff and game warden on the upper
river. Mr. Mack has been in the city
on behalf of the colored men at all."
TAFT XS SILENT.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 21,-Judge
Taft read and re-read the production
of President Roosevelt . inspired by
the Forakcr-Hcarit controversy. He
recalled vividly writing letter to
which the president referred, but af
ter considering the question carefully
decided to make no addition to the
subject at this time. Judge Taft did
not indicate that he would hereafter
make a statement,

the marchers to restore order.
The riot took place near the city
hall in the suburbs, when the motor

cases that later appeared before the

The grand jury remained in session
all during "the afternoon, and it is ex

rumors of gambling, of saloons being
kept open on Sunday in violation of

very satisfactory one, being com
