No Longer Treasurer of Dem=

CONFERS WITH MR. BRYAN

Refused to Be Interviewed on the
Subject—Selection of a Successor
Up to Chairman Mack and the Na
tional Executive Committee.
Chicago, Sept. 28.—Governor G. N.
Haskell of Oklahoma to all intents and
purposes no longer is treasurer of the
Democratic campaign fund. He is on
Us way back to Guthrie, Okla., aftet
ft forty-five minute conversation with
W- J. Bl-yan.
At his desk in Democratic head
quarters sits J. B. Doolin, the assist
ant treasurer, on whom the routine
business of the office will fall until
a successor to Mr. Haskell is appoint
ed.
Mr. Haskell, still treasurer in name
though not in fact, went to the train
•tone. His hurried departure he said
Was due to the necessity of his prcs
ence at the state capital when the
State tax board meets. Asked if he
would prosecute those who had made
charges against him he wrote in an
swer: "Read the law you will sn

BRYAN MEETS HASKELL
Conferwnc* le Secret and No Oetails
Are Given Out.
Chicago, Sept. 28.—W. J. Bryan
spent two hours in Chicago apparently
without changing in the least the sit
uation brought about by the resigna
tion of Treasurer Haskell. However,
Mr. Bryan and Mr. Haskell were clos
eted at the Auditorium Annex for
three-quarters of an hour and although
BO announcement was made at the
conclusion of the conference it was
taken for granted that the situation
brought about by the charges of Pres
ident Roosevelt and W. R. Hearst
were under discussion. It was hot
and when Mr. Bryan came out in a
hurry to catch his train beads of per
spiration stood on his brow.
Asked whether Mr. Haskell's resig
nation had been accepted so far as
he was concerned Mr. Bryan declined
to answer. That it had been, howev
er, was inferred from Mr. Bryan's an
Bwer to the next question.
"Has a successor to Treasurer* Has
kell been selected?" he was asked.
"That is up to Mr. Mack and the
executive committee," came the hur
ried answer.
Although Mr. Bryan had a number
of other callers it may be safely stated
that so far as Mr. Haskell's case is
considered the conferees were Mr.
Bryan, Mr. Haskell, Assistant Treas
urer Doolin, James W. Riley, who is
Mr Mack's secretary, and John E.
Lamb. Mr. Lamb, after the departure
Of Mr. Bryan, called for a few min
utes at Treasurer Haskell's office. He
was extremely uncommunicative re
garding details of the morning's work.
Re was not aware, he said, that Mr.
Haskell was under discussion at all.
STANDARD OIL SECRETS.

Letters to Hearst.
New York, Sept. 28.—It is stated in
Wall street that the officers of the
Str. ndard Oil company have not yet

time to time during the past week
Were obtained from a woman stenog
rapher was dismissed some time
Shice by the oil company. Apparent
ly she had only taken copies of let
ters, because it is stated that an ex
aniination of the files show that the
Criminals are still in possession of the
company. Consequently the oil trust
Bjncials are In the dark regarding the
Ulditional letters Hearst may have.
It is noted that the expose so far
merely covered the period between
1199 and 1903. Hearst says he has

BECAUSE OF THE CHOLERA
Manila Postpones Formal Welcome to
Battleship Fleet.
Manila, Sept. 28.—As has been pre
viously predicted the formal welcome
to the battleships of the American
fleet has been postponed on account
of the presence of cholera in this city.
The committees in charge of the re
ception, after a conference with Gov
ernor General Smith and a number of
prominent business men, decided that
it would bo wisest and safest to cancel
all preparations for the celebration
until the fleet returns from Japan in
November. In honor of the fleet'!
presence, however, the conference
concluded to carry out the water par
ade on the day of arrival.
Governor General Smith is advising
the authorities at Washington of the
development of strong criticism direct
ed against, the health authorities of
the city because of the fact that Ma
nila was not protected by quarantine
and closer protection of the districts
where the cholera has claimed the
greatest number of victims. It is
probable that an investigation will be
demanded.

MRS. RICE TELLS
OF SUICIDE PACT
Says Davis Agreed to Kill
Dr. Rustin of Omaha.
LATTER TOLD HER PLANS
Declares Davis Agreed to 8hoot the
Physician on Condition That the
Latter Gave Him Enough Poison to
End His Own Life—Attorneys for
Davis Repeatedly Object to the Evi
dence, but the Story Is Finally Toid.
Omaha, Sept. 28.—Following a legal
battle continued throughout the giving
of her entire testimony Mrs. Abbie 13.
Rice was permitted to tell of the plans
between Dr. Frederick Rustin* and
Charles E. Davis, \v _ereby Davis was
to shoot the physician and then com
mit suicide. Many fine points of law
came up during the clashes that fol
lowed each question, but the state
finally secured the testimony of the
witness, with which it hopes to prove
Davis guilty of first degree murder.
The quostioning elicited that. Mrs
Tike saw Davis in Dr. Rustin's of
fice twice on the evening preceding
lie killing. Taking up her story at
this point Mrs. Rice was permitted tc
tell what happened up to midnight.
She said:
"Dr. Rustin told me he had secured
a man to kill him and that I was re
leased from the duty. He said it wat
a man who had several times attempt
ed to take his own life. The doctor
old me he had arranged to have thit
man do the shooting on condition that
the physician give him enough poison
to take his own life. He said Davis
was to come to the office at 8 o'clock
that evening.
Rustin Secures the Poison.
"By appointment I went to Rustin's!
office at 8 o'clock and found Davis
there. I stayed only a short time.
The doctor sent to the drug store for
a bottle of aconite. He puured half
of it into another bottle, giving me
one portion and putting the other in
his pocket. He then told me to go
to the street corner, where he would
meet me shortly. I did so and he
came down on the street with Charles
E. Davis. They waited until the first
car came, when the doctor put Davis
on the car going west toward his home
and then joined me.
"We walked to within a block of
his house, the doctor stopping once to
purchase some whisky. We talked ol
his plans wlih Davis. I shuddered
with every mention of them, but the
doctor talked freely. When within
two blocks of Dr. Rustin's home he
bade me goodbye, saying for me to
wait awhile. He told me if his plans
did not work he would soon join me
again. I waited quite a while and
then went down town. I called up
Dr. Rustin's home repeatedly after I
got back, but was told the doctor was
not there."

Chicago, Sept. 28.—Several fortu

which promise to accrue from shorts
estimated to be involved for more than
3,000,000 bushels. Only three business
days remain in this month for the
shorts to produce the corn or the cash
and indications point to the impossi
bility of getting the corn.
September corn is selling at 80
cents. The shorts contracted sixty
and ninety days ago at prices ranging
from 63 to 65 cents. According to pit
gossip J. Ogden Armour, W. II. Bart

below those now prevailing.

Freight Rate*.
Chicago, Sept. 20.—The
Tribune
In spite of the fact that the Eastern
railroads have agreed to postpone any
general increase in freight rates until

are becoming alarmed over reports
regarding the Western roads. These

nexl few months. It is understood
the transcontinental roads already
have decided on a number of advances
in rates to the Pacific coast to be
wu le effective on Dec. 1. While no
official announcement has fteen made
it is said tariff sheets are now on the
press, which include increases in com
modity rates amounting to from 7 to
10 per cent. The rates on steel from
Chicago to the coast are said to have
been raised from 75 to 80 cents per
hundred pounds.
