FL Washington, D. c., Sept. 23.Presi-
dent Roosevelt tonight, after pro-
longed conference with the members
Of the cabinet at the White House.
prepared and gave out his reply to
William J. Bryan, Democratic candi-
date, relative Of William R. Hearst's
charges that Governor Haskell. treas
ure Of the Democrat campaign com
mittee, had represented the Standard
Oil interests both in Ohio and Okla
homa. & & / ID IA y sg; D. Ri; q
Mr.. Bryan had demanded proof OF
the charges, promising that In the
event of their substant Cover
nor Haskell would be eliminated from
the campaign.
Dismissing the Ohio case, which
involves attempted bribery with the
Legislature, which has made q direct
charge against Governor Haskell as
regards that particular instance, the
president takes up the matter of the
Prairie State Oil and Gas company,
and argues that Governor Haske1l's
action in stopping legal proceedings
begun by the attorney general Of Okla
homa demonstrates conclusively that
he was controlled by the great corpo-
ration to which the Oklahoma com
pany was subsidiary.
After contrasting Mr.. Bryan's de-
tense Of Governor Haskell to Judge
Taft's reputation of Foraker in con-
nection with the Hearst charges
against the Ohio senator, the presi-
L dent proceeded to declare that Gov
ernor Haskell 's utter unfitness for as
] sociation with any man anxious to
appeal to the American people on a
moral issue has been abundantly
y shown by other acts Of his as Cover
nor OF Oklahoma.
The president condemns Governor
Haskell's conduct in connection with
the various matters as disrespectful
and scandalous, and calls special at.
tention to what he describes as pro
stituting to base purposes the state
university
This fresh charge against the gov
ernor rests on an article in The Out,
look from which the president forms
4 the conclusion that Governor Haskell
is unworthy Of any position in public
life. The latter portion Of Mr.. Roose
yeIt's deliveren,ce is devoted to criti
cism Of Mr.. Bryan's plan for regulat
ing trusts, which he charcterizes as
a measure that sounds more radical
than any advocated by Republicans
but which, in practice. would moi

Concluding, Mr.. Roosevelt declared
that no laWedefying corporation has
anything to fear from Mr.. Bryan. save
that it would suffer from genera

BERNADoU's GALLANTRY.
Naval Officer Who Took the WInsloW
Into cardenas Bay.

Into Cardenas Bay.
Commander John Baptiste Bernadou,
naval attache at Rome and Vienna,
who recently died In Brooklyn. was
one OF the bravest and most popular
officers in the United States naval
service He was appointed TO the
United States Naval academy In 1876
and was graduated In 1882. He. be-
came an ensign, junior grade. in 1883.
He was lieutenant IN command Of the
torpedo boat Winslow when the Span
ish-American war began.
1t was on May IL, 1893, that the
Winslow was ordered In to cut a Span
ish gunboat out from the cluster Of
merchant ships in Cabanas bay. The
guns Of the American ships accompa-
nying the Winslow were to protect her
movements. When within 1000 yards
OF the boat the Wlnslow got among a
number Of red buoys which were sup
posed to be there to mark the channel,
but they proved to be range buOys for
masked battery on a Jutting point
near where the Spanish gunboats lay.
This battery opened fire on the Wins
low with ten FOUNDER guns. The Sec
ond shot tore through the hull Of the
Winslow. Trecking the steering gear
and making the boat unmanageable.
The Spanish gunboat Joined in the fu-
slllade, and the Winslow answered by
firing continuously her three little one
Founders.
A splinter from the deck where a
shell had burst struck Lieutenant
BernadOu In the right thigh. He wrap
ped a towel about 1t and continued to
give orders. A shot demolished the
steam steering gear, and Lieutenant
Bernadou rushed aft to arrange the
hand gear. Another shot wrecked that
at the moment.
Just then a water tender came from
below and reported that the forward
boiler had been pierced. Steam was
pouring out Of the hatches. Then the
port engine was wrecked, next the
forecastle gun. Without pause the
Winslow kept firing her two remain
ing one Founders.
A shell exploded on the deck amid
ships close to where Ensign Bagley
was standing and killed him instantly.
Four Of the crew were killed and two
were wounded at the same time. The
Hudson, another American boat, drew
up to the Wlnslow- and made fast
alongside. The Winslow was drawn
of with her flag flying and her two
guns firing. For his gallantry Berna-
dOu was advanced ten numbers.

The first baseball school for profess

OF the Los Angeles team of the Pacific
Coast league and Manager ]. B. Le-
high OF Chutes Park, In Los Angeles,
where the school Is to be conducted
this winter.
Southern California is the Mecca of
q large number Of young ball players
during the winter, and hundreds Of
amateurs are developed, many Of whom
are willing to take up professional
baseball and are capable Of doing SO
II given the chance and little help.
2. II Is proposed to assign all aspiring
players to contracts Of the Los Angeles
Pacific Coast league team and to put
them under the instructions Of two or
more OF the veteran members Of the
Coast league team. All such as show
aptitude for the professional game will
Be retained and taught the fine points
OF the game. Others will be released
and new men taken on In their places.
Those players who make good and
show talent will be placed to the best
advantage. The Los Angeles team will
retain such as IL needs; the others will
be sold at such rates as will give the
man the best chance and give the pur-
chasing clubs an opportunity to get
valuable men at a nominal cost.
Scouts from all the leagues, major
and minor, are to be invited to inspect
the players during the winter season
and select such men as they desire.
Otherwise men will be delivered on
application to play positions desired,
the right to purchase being optional on
the men making good. Such men are
to be delivered on recommendation Of
Manager Berry and his assistants.
II Is proposed to conduct daily prac-
tice during the of season and to play
games Saturdays, Sundays and holi-
days. On other days two or three
hours morning and afternoon practice
is to be INDUCED In, and toward even
ing a short game will be played with
picked mines. Two regular clubs are
to be organized. one to represent the
Los Angeles league club and the 9TH
er to represent Chutes Park. Each of
the mines Will be managed from the
bench by a veteran OF the Los Angeles
team, and In practice these old players
are to combine their instructions.
Men mentioned as instructors are;
Dillon, captain and assistant manager
of the Los Angeles team; Happy
Hogan, catcher; kitty" Brashear, sec
ond baseman. Outfielder and heavy
hitter and Curtis Bernard, crack out
fielder. second baseman. bunter and
base runner. Dillon Is one of the best
judges OF players and coaches In the
country, and Hogan Is an excellent
coach OF pitchers. In his younger
days Dillon was big league player
and Hogan would be with the majors
now were he not handicapped by the
loss Of an eye. which holds down his
batting averages.
