Cincinnati, Ohio. Sept. 19. Sena--.
tor J. 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

In the Ohio legislature In UOO; by
working through the governor's
office. 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. After they
were Introduced, Hanna and Foraker
sent word that they were! against
party policy' and the Interests of
the McKInley administration.
Governor Nash, aald Price, then
dropped the measures and thry were
never brought up. Price aald that
