GIVES OUT ALETTER
ROOSEVELT STRIKES AT HASKELL
 THROUGH AN ATTORNEY.
Since the Cabinet Meeting the President is Significantly SiIent--Oklaho-
 ma Governor and the In- diam Lands.

Washington. Oct. s.-President Roosevelt today gave out for publica- ton Q letter received by him from W. l.. Sturdevant. of St. Louis, Mo. In which the writer declared that Gov ernor HaskeIrs statement in his letter of September 30 regarding the latters connection with the Creek Indian lands Is so imperfect that it Is entirely mis- taking. .s,..,
 The text of the letter follows:
 Dear Mir. PresIdent:--I notice in Gov ernof Haskell's letter of date, septem-. bar 90, the following statement:
 Yes. believe am a defendant as to certain government town site lots h one of nearly 11,000 suits that you have had brought against as many diff ferent, honorable and high minded 'cit- izens of this State--during this Prest- dental campaign year. And you will not undertake to deny that petty polt- ties for the purpose of repuhllcanising about 1000 Indian voters wac your sole otiys a fsr ssyins s;S ; sssss ssoasat there has been no delay in these cases. except that occasloned by the courts dalihArations. taken by hli4Aelf as AiIaae he deemed necessary to consider whether or net fhefe e any mefikt in tho petition aled by yout attorney. r
 f',The ab6~8 statement regarding the t1fW u 4SAtP' SUtlS1 IS sHO WI9pSTISct mat atk Is entirely naisleading, All those suits In which Goyernar Haskell IS defen- tdant.r except one. were filed in 1907, prior to the admission of Oklahoma as a State. Hesiss charged withsa di- rect participation in the frauds through which the Iudians were de- prived of their property and the bills seek to hold him personally liable for the injury thus Inflicted. He has not answered to the merits in single case, but all pleas filed by his attorneys are purely technical and necessarily dilatory in effect.
 "AIr. Mott. attorney for the Creek nation, and myself have many times urged hearing on the merits of these cases and have personally proposed several times that they file answers in the cases in order that hearing might be had on the merits and the cases disposed of. These suggestions have not met an affirmative response. and the result Is that the cases have taken the regular course on a heavy docket.
 "We have answered several times in open court and otherwise that we are ready for an immediate hearing in any and all suits filed. This has been done with a view of obtaining a speedy ad- iustment of the controversy, and in order to give any person charged with a primary liability an opportunity to acquit himself of such charge If pos sible. without delay.
 "This course could have been pur- sued without any violation of ultimate rights as Jurisdiction over the courts; but for reasons probably suficIent unto them the defendants have not approved il"

S5,OOO SPECIAL FUND
TO PROSECUTE CORPORATIONS
 FOR COERCING EMPLOYEs.
Chairman Mack Says He Has ReceIVed Numerous Complaints That Corr
 pOrations Are Coereing Em-
 pIOyes in National Election.

New York, Oct S.-Norman E. Mack. chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said to-day be- fore leaving for the West that a spe- cial fund of $5,0OG had been appro- priated and set aside for the punish ing any person of corporation which endeavors to coerce employees in the national election.
 Special counsel will be retained. Mir. Mack said, to conduct prosecu- ton. MT. Mack explained that nu- merous complaints hao been received by the national committee from em- ployes throughout the country that they had been threatened with dismiss sal if they persisted in support of the Democratic ticket Mir. Mack con- tinued;
 This Is attempt at bribery and is punishable as such. Threats of dis if they vote for Mir. Bryan. or prom . ise of higher wages if they vote for MT. Taft. is plain bribery. We are not afraid of the efforts of such tac- tics in this election for the American laboring man cannot be brihed nor scared into submission in a matter as sacred as the ballot. but think It is the duty of this committee to protect the American workingman from such meth ods.
 Tt is not advisable at the present tfmc to give the names o1 those em- ployes That would be an injustice to them. But the names of every guilty employer will be published and full publicity given to his case both before and after election The slip in the pay envelope a few days before elec- ton advising how to vote will not be permitted this year as in former cam paigns"

ridiculous the language was. I hope that his opinion of the language will not change when he finds that he was shooting his own platform instead of at me.
 The amusing blunder of The Omaha, Bee suggests new division for the campaign Let the Democrats accuse me or using various sections of the Republican platform and from Mir. Taffs speeches and see how the Repub- lican editors will ridicuIe the lan- suage." -
