B, Foraker today gave out an , Interview denying tbe charges made by William Randolph , Hearst . last night In which he accused Foraker ,' of receiving $60,000. from John D. "J ' Archbold of -the Standard Oil,; In re turn for Influence at thq ' national capital in ' favor V of . the Standard. Foraker claims. that the money was - a loan made to him by Archbold when he was considering buying a newspaper and that the deal after- , wards fell through and he returned r .the money. "When I first read Hearst's letter from Archbold referring to the cer . ilficute of depoBit for $60,000 en closed, in the letter, I did not recall having received such a. letter," said Senator Foraker.. "I afterwards tele phoned to my house, at .Washington . where such letters are kept on file with the ; result ; that the proposed transaction was recalled to my mind . A newspaper, friend of. mine held an option for the purchase of the Ohio State Journal for $135,000. but as he was unable to advance that much he applied to me for help, v "I did not have enough money hut applied to my friends and got it, Among others, I asked the Stand ard Oil company to help me out and the latter agreed to loan me $35, v000 secured by stock in the news paper." , Foraker anked the Btandard Oil people to increase their loan to $50,000. ' - 'They did so," added Foraker, "and ; Mr. Archbold sent' me the letter and cer tificate of deposit as stated by Hearst. , In a few days tbe transaction ' fell through, because others stepped In and Purchased the property, and thereupon I eturned the money to the Standard Oil. "I was not employed In the matter, and never received a cent of profit In the whole affair.". , . ; ., ; iro Oompromlstnt. I Senator Foraker also denied that the letter read by Hearst In which a United States senate bill Is referred, contained anything- compromising: "I do not re member bavin received auch a letter." I be said, "hut whether I received it or not has no reference to my employment by me oianaara ul or anyooay else. "I repeat that the only employment I ever had at the hands of the Standard OH was aa advisory counsel with re aped to their Ohio atate affairs. "After the decree of dissolution was enierea oy ine supreme court of Ohio, It was necessary for the company to re ore nice. It was In that matter that I w empioyea ana not to participate In legislation. I was employed .to inves tigate the whole situation and-advise ine company now, in my opinion. It could proceed to comply: with the court's order, conform to the Ohio statutes and so reorganize so as not to violate the iaw. - . .

Price said that bills he in troduced as. "administration meas ures" at the request, of the then Governor George K. Naah were killed at the behest of corporate interests represented by Senators , Hanna and Foraker, The bills, he said, would have compelled the Standard Oil and kindred corporations to make public a -list of stockholders.
