PRESIDENT HITS BACK AT BRYAN (Continued from Second Page.) ed exactly as well by the administra tion, exactly and fairly, as It we ha8 accepted the contributions. They shall not suffer In any way because we refused them, Just as they would not hare gained In any way If we had ac cepted them." No member of the na tional committee has ever, directly or Indirectly, suggested to me that I should either do or leave undone any thing whatever because any one had contributed or . had failed to contribute- For PoNt-Elortlon Publicity. These are the facts, how for your proposal. You have yourself furnished Its condemnation. You have quoted the subscriptions furnished to Governor Hughes as giving, reason t distrust Governor Hughes' attitude toward cor porations, and I am obliged to say that this cannot he sincere on your part, for you know well what the governor's at titude has been throughout his term. You quote the subscription of Mr. Har rlman to my campaign, although you know well that It did not Interfere with any action taken by me as against Mr. Harriman, and nsk If It would not have affected the campaign If known. There by you have furnished an excellent reason for refusing to meet your pro posal; for you make it evident that to adopt your proposal would give to ev ery man who cared merely for parti san success the chance, by precisely the argument you have now made, to create to more purpose the false Im pression that you are now seeking to create. Mr. Taft's reputation, Mr. Taft's acts on the bench end -In the ex ecutive service, show that he could not be swayed In any shape or way by any consideration save the public In terest and that the fact of any man's contributing or falling to contribute would In any way Influence his action, any more than It has Influenced by ac tion or the action of Governor Hughes. I emphatically approve of the publi cation of campaign expenses after tho election, whether provided for by law or not. You have shown by this letter of yours-that If the contributions to Mr. Hughes' campaign fund had been public before election you and those who act with you would have striven to give tho false Impression that Mr. Hughes was unfit to be trusted with the position, of Governor; and you have shown by this letter of yours that If Mr. Harrlman's contribution' to the campaign fund of 1904 (and Incidentally I may mention that I am Informed that this particular contribution was not used for the national campaign ot all but In tho New York state campaign) had been known before the election you and your supporters would have en deavored to use the fact of Its having been made as an, Insincere and un truthful argument to show that I could not be trusted to deal out exact Jus tice' to Mr. Hnrrlman. No Btrongor argument against your proposition has yet been advanced than this that you have unconsoloiiHly udvanced. Letter vs. Spirit, of I.iiw, I now come to tho linporUuit part at your letter, your attitude toward Mr. Huskcll. You state that Mr. Hji.-, kell has Involuntarily resigned from tho committee. You speak highly of the public service which he has ren dered and protest against any con demnation of him save such as may come-in a court. Out of your own mouth you are condemned. You thereby set up that stundard of "law honesty" which has been the bnno of this people In endeavoring to get equity and fair dealings as they should obtain among high minded men from great business corpora tions, and' from individuals like Mr, Haskell. Apparently you disclaim even asking Mr. Haskell to retire from the position in which you plaueed him, so that he retires of his own fre will; and you utter no word of I con demnation of his gross offenses agnlnt publlo decency, and honesty, On the contrary, you strive to make it. appear that his misconduct in ref erence to tho Standard Oil company Is all of which he Is accused, whereas shameless though this particular act of his Is, it Is no worse than countless others In his career. Bryan's AttUmlo Attwkrd. I contrast your action In this case with that of Mr. Taft In reference to Senator Foraker. Mr. Taft's statement when the question of his nomination whs at stake was that ha. would rather not accept U at the price of sacrificing principle by supporting Mr. Foraker for senator. You 'do not venture in so much as the slightest possible manner even to censure Mr. Haskell for his manifold misdeeds; and you nsk that ho be held gulltlesH of them unless con victed In a court of law; although you well know that as regards tho worst of them no action In a court of law would lie, You say you were Ignorant of Mr. Haskell's record. If so, It was wllfuj Ignorance on your part. I cull your attention to the letter of Mr.' L. T. Russell, tho editor of tho Morning Dem ocrat, of Ardmore, Oklahoma, In which, writing to you on September 24, 1908, he states: "If you were Ignorant of such charges it was because you re fused to read them when presented to you when you visited Oklahoma, last full In the Interest (ft Candidate ll.is- kell. At that time I personally pre-' scnted to you ten typewritten pages of charges against Mr. Hnskoil,, cov ering his operations In Ohio, New York, Arkansas, Texus and Oklahoma. The charges recently made by Mr. Hearst were all made by me at that time." Courts Convicted Haskell, "You ask that we leave the courts to deal with Mr. Haskell. As to some matters the courts have already dealt with him. As to others, various pri vate Individuals whom he has wrong ed, and the United States government on behalf of helpless Indians whom he has wronged, are s'trlvlng to have the courts so deal with him. M. L. Xott, notional attorney for the Creek .Nation, writes me as follows; "In October, 1906, Mr. Foulke, of Richmond, Indiana, was sent to Inves tigate the matter of town sit frauds In the Creek Xntiorf. Mr. Foulke's report Is In the hands of the secretary of tjie Interior. All parties connected with these town site frauds have used the same means and methods. Upon the report filed by Mr. Foulke, I as attorney for the Creek Nation, was directed by the, secretary of the In tprlor to file suits In equity for the cancellation of all deeds to town lots In the Creek Nation where the same had been secured by fraud. Proceed ing upon Instructions and after full Investigation, Governor Haskell among others has secured deeds to qulto a numher of lots In Muskogee by con spiracy and fraud; that he had had these lots scheduled In the name of "Dummies" or "straw" men who lived In the state of Ohio and elsewhere, ind had them "quit claim" back to him without consideration. By this dis honest means he succeeded in getting deeds to a large number of lots be longing to the Creeks at one-half their appraised value. I have filed quite a number of suits against Governor1 Haskell In which conspiracy and fraud Is charged and the major of consum mating It Is set out In detail. Haskell has not filed any answer in any of these cases. He has simply through his attorney fllad dilatory motions such as demurfers, pleading to the Jurisdiction, etc' He dare not answer and deny the allegations set up In our bill; such an answer would he a sworn lie and known to be by the large number of 'straw' men and 'dummies' he used in perfecting tho fraud." Ilnskpll Will Get "Justice." For this particular act' of tho man whose public record you ignore, you may rest assured that the Interior de partment will endeavor to see that the courts, do "Justice" to him. When Mr. Haskell was In New York various Judgments were filed against him. I will not at the moment discuss the charges of perjury and fraud made against him by Attorney Albert H. Waller of New York, In connection with the suit decided lay Judge La combe ,ln March, 1902,. But the records of the county clerk of New York county show, that on February 21, 1900, a Judgment for damages and costs, amounting to $42,235.43 recovered In the supreme court of the county, was filed against Charles N. Haskell. On April 2, 1900, this Judgment whs returned on the sheriff's execution satisfied to the extent of only $29.80, and the. remainder of It remains still unsatisfied. In this Instance your proposal tnat Mr. Has kell be left to the court does not seem to have produced thorough-going 'Jus tice. Many and Varied Suits. Neither shall I touch upon the vari ous suits of all kinds now pending against him for all kinds of reasons. Thus, It is reported in the press under date of Sept. 19, 1908, that a $5C0 Judg ment had been obtained against Mr. Haskell bv an attorney of Arkansas. who was employed by him "to lobby belore the city council or iMuskogee to get through a franchise, The attorney's fee was never Dald. but the franchise granted." Nor again shull I touch up on the fuc-Blmlle published In the press of Sept. 25 last, showing Mr. Haskell's having three years ago Joined an or ganization to prevent union labor from entering the city In which he lived. In deed as regards this hist statement, I wish distinctly to acquit Mr. Haskoll of being opposed on principle to either trade unions or 'corporations;, for I wish to acquit him of being opposed on prin ciple to anything. ConncM tlon With Oil Trust, Now as to' Governor Haskell's con nection with tha Standard oil Co,, in Oklahoma. Governor Haskell ad vances the fact that the United States government permitted tho Standard Oil Co. on the same terms as any and all other companies to enjoy the legal privileges to which it, was entitled on the Indian reservations' of Oklahoma, as his ustlflcatlon or having given 'It Illegal privilege to which It was not entitled In the Htate of Oklahoma. The excuse .furnishes the measure of Gov, ernor Haskell's moral quality, The foderal act of March 11, 1904, con ferred upon the secretary' of tho in terior the right to grant permits for oil and gas pipe lines to cross Indian reservations. Regulations to carry out the law were drawn up by the In dian oillce and approved by the secre ay nf the Interior April 12,' 1904. In compliance with the law and the reg ulutlons the department of the in terior permitted the Standard Oil pipe line company' (the Pacific Oil and Gas company), and tho various rival pipe line companies (such as the Oklahoma Natural Gas company, the Cary River Gas company, the Dense Portland Ce ment company and others, Including Texas and Gould . companies), all on the same terms and under the same conditions, the right ol way across the Indian reservation. Pofonds Interior Department No preference or privilege, was grant ed to any company that was not also granted to all the others. Any other action than that actually taken by the Interior department; would have been as grossly Improper as the actions of Governor Haskell himself. The govern ment stood neither for nor against any company; but It required each to obey the law. Its action was precisely like the action which It took, for Instance, In proceeding against the Standard Oil compnpy in the rebate matter; it did not thus -proceed because the Standard Oil company was involved, but becnuse rebates had been granted;, 'It would have proceeded Just as quickly against the rivals of tho Standard Oil as against tho Standard Oil Itself. Our only concern was to junluh any guilty party. Our effort Is to do equal Jus tlco to all, and to exact Justice from" all nllke. We nrejno more to be sway ed from this course by desire to pun ish a corporation than by desire, to f:.vor It, no matter whether it is the Standard OH or any other, The permit of the national government, as set forth In the telegram nf the secretary of the Interior to Governor Haskell of April 23, last, was merely to cross or use the restricted alotments and tribal property of the. Indians; It had nothing to do with the question of compliance with the lows of the state of Okla homa, and conferred no privilege to cross territory in Oklahoma outside of these reservations. . HiihIicII and the Law, Governor Haskell refuses to permit any proceedings to "be taken ngalnst the St.indnrd Oil company although this comjahy declines to obey the law of Oklahoma:" ' ite claims that Jhe Standard Oil's rights were superior to the requirements of tho Oklahoma constitution, for which he was him self mainly responsible; ho took the decision away from the courts, and, against the opinion of his attorney general, ho decided It In favor of the Standard Oil corporation. The attor ney general of Oklahoma has made the following statement In this matter. "The president's statement as to the Prairie Oil and Gas company suit !s loss than the whole matter in Its wholo inequity, because on the 23rd of April I had Informed the governor that the action taken by the Pralrlo company was Illegal and should be enjoined and that I had an open In junction suit. At that time April 2S, the governor agreed with me as to the Illegality of the action and ap proved the bringing of the Injunction. "The same day the governor left the state to go to Denver, the Tralrle company started Its trespass. This I believe was pre-arranged between the governor and the Pralrlo company as the -Prairie company rushed the laying of Its pipe line during the ab sence of the governor from the state. Governor Dodged! Question. "I wired the governor on the first of July, asking whether he, had given the Prairie Oil company permission to build their line. His reply evaded my sole question, and Instead of answer ing it, ho said' that he was satisfied that the Pialrie company would not violate the law. Between the 22d of April and the 2d ot Jiiiy, Governor Haskell received no advice from me, as bis legal advisor as to the matter, and If he had receiv ed advice from his assistant attorney general, he did not do me the honor of submitting the s ime to me. When he heard of the bringing of the suit he directed the acting governor to order me lo dismiss the suit, and Indulged In Insolent language to the effect that he would not tolerate any proceedings by me except nt his direction. The use of this Insulting language regarding me, the ground, with his sudden change nf heart between April and July, evi dences that some very deep and con trolling motive of a personal nature was back of his actions. , Calls PreHldent Mild. "The only person that the prohibitions could helii was the Standard Oil Co., nnd that he hazarded as much as he did for It, as he did after his sudden change of heart, supplies the necessary factor for any Intelligent man to reckon whether the govej-nor of Oklahoma has a leaning toward the Standard , Oil company; and therefore tho president's statement seems to me a very mUd rebuke. "CHARLES E. WEST. "Attorney General of Oklnhomn." The national government, obeying the law and the principle of sound morality, discriminated neither for nor- against Hie Standard Oil company or Us rival. Governor Haskell, against the jaw and1 against every principle of honesty and fair dealing, discriminated In favor of SILVER WEDTUXG. The silver we-ldlng anniversary of Mr. and Mrs, Moss Gompertz, of 627 Orange street, was celebrated yester day, A large family gathering, among which were many relatives from New York, was present last evening at the dinner given by the couple at their residence. This evening they will hold a reception at which the couple will welcomo their numerous friends, The most advantageous way of procuring a first class 1 Howe & Stetsoo Sewaog Machine Gob, The terms are: a Machine and the Different from all partial payment plans is the policy of the Howe & Stetson Sewing Machine Club. There is no extra charge for the convenience of the easy payment feature. The purchaser receives a sew ing machine, high grade in evtry respect, at a price that is really low er than agents generally ask for cash. All this on the weekly payment plan. Only a big store that does big things could make any such offer as this. In this case, the big thing which this store did was to make another yearly contract through the Dry Goods Alliance, of which we are members. This contract involves something like 2,000 machines. This enormous purchase was divided between our New Haven and Pawtucket Stores. It is needless to say that the inside price came our way-and the inside price was low enough for. us to make such an offer as this. Here are the different models and prices : The "New Idea" Machine at $15.98. A great machine for the money. New drop head model. The "Yale" Machine at $18.98. Automatic drop head machine; smooth running, fitted with 5 drawers. The "Alliance" Machine at $19.98. Drop head model. A perfect running 5-drawer machine The "Alliance" Machine at $21.98. An auto matic drop head, 5-drawer machine. The "Alliance" Rotary Machine at $30.00. A rotary shuttle machine, runs silently at a touch. One of the very best and most modern machines on the market. TO the Standard Oil corporation. Failure to sec the distinction between the two cases Indicates moral rather than men tal ohtusenesi. I believe In radical reform and the movement for such reform cap be suc cessful only when It frowns on the demagogue as it does on the corrup tion; If It shows. Itself as -far re moved from government by a mob as from government by a plutocracy, 'Of ell corruption, the most far-reaching for evil Is that which hides Itself be hind the mask of furlouB demagogy, seeking to arouse and to pander to the Basest passions of mankind. No bettir exemplification of this typd of corruption could he found than In the case of Mr. Haskell. You rave uttered no word of con demnation against Haskelllsm, as wo thus see it. That you conscientiously sought to bring It about, do not be lieve. That It was tne natural result of the effort to supply In practice your teachings, I have no question. Yours truly, THKOOOnK HO08KVE-LT. Hon. William Jennings Bryan, Lincoln, Nebraska, WILL CLOSE UP TONTINE ASSN.

Often the share was given th,ls child, or the stock worn kept and Inter sold. The stock wb.s transferable, hut the nominee re mained the, same. Small dividends were gained by the stockholders from the hotel and It was agreed that when all the nomlnoes except seven were dead, the shareholders who had named these seven should have the entire property.. The gamble ,has lasted for about 83 years and all the nominees are older than thla. Twenty years, ago the shareholders then living became tired of the gamble and wanted to sell the hotel and di vide the proceeds. There were a score or more shareholders then and they pe titioned the legislature for permission to dispose of the property without waiting until only seven were left as provided In the charter. The legislature dpclded that If the shareholders agreed unanhnously In the matter of the sale of the property, the permission would be given. AW arrangements were made for the disposal of the property, and then Mrs. Coan, who Is today one of the seven survivors, refused to unite with the others' and the deal fell through, since then the nominees havo been dropping out until with Mr. Fitch's death only the seven are left. The hotel property Is assessed at $150,00 and the s't'able at $30,000 more. George T. White at present hires the hotej.
