In Broad DAYLIGHT.

Princeton, Ind, Sept. 24ESuspenders
went UP several points at Mt. Carmel,
ILL.,, to-day, when young man, who
had placed all his reliance in a belt,
came to grief.
lie is a young society man and was
driving with a young Lady. In at
tempting to get out of the carriage
he broke his belt, and, as he stepped
to the ground, his loose trousers
dropped straight down over Ibis feet.
A crowd witnessed the affair, and
it was an embarrassing situation, to
say the least, but the young man
quickly made grab that partly re
organized" himself, hoped into the
vehicle and drove away at break
neck speed with the blushing lady,
while every man in the street-corner
crowd breathed a Sigh of relief as he
felt of his suspenders or belt and
found that ell was secure with, him
self.

Taft, after vowing he would not do
such an undignified thing as to go on

strength from all classes-frOm the
conservatives who wish stable Gov

success.
Mr.. Bryan has never been stronger
than he is to-day. The wave grows.

GOV. HASKELL
HAD NO CHANCE
To Appear in Court to
Refute Charges
so DECLARES F. S. MONNETT
In a Signed Statement in
Regard to Standard Oil
Prosecution.

Washington, Sept 24.-According
to a telegram from F. S. Monnett, the
former Attorney General of Ohio, there
is nothing to connect Treasurer Has
kell, OF the Democratic National Com
mittee, with the Standard Oil Com
pany, as charged by w. r. Hearst.
Mr.. Monnett's telegram is as follows:
Charles N. Haskell was the name
given by Charles B. SquiresJof Cleve-
land, as one of the men who con-
ferred with him at his home and
agreed upon 100000 as the amount to
be used to stop the Standard Oil pros
ecution. On this information / filed
the complaint in contempt in the Su-
preme Court. Haskell promptly no
titled me on the first publication
there that he was not the man and
asked to be heard at once. l attempt
ed 30 take dispositions upon the sub
ject to establish the truth or falsity Of
the bride charges and lcate all go
betweens, when Justice Shauck, at the
request of the Standard Oil attorneys,
ordered my investigation to cease,
and sixty days later the court dis
missed the complaint.
Haskell stood ready TO testify, but
the others did not. Haskell gave
me the name of w. C. Haskell, Of
Cleveland, a Hanna politician, as
the probable man Squires referred to.
Squires gave the name of the al
legged Standard Oil representative as
above in my presence to Smith W..
Bennett, special counsel for the State,
at that time. Haskell was never Civ
en- an opportunity to appear in court
to refute the Squires charges.
F. S. MONNETT.
From these two statements it APP
pears that Mr.. Monnett does not now
regard Gov. Haskell as the one who
attempted to bride him. The relations
of Haskell and Monnett when they
met in Denver certainly indicated
nothing of the kind, and a year ago
Monnett went all the way to Okla
homa to exonerate Haskell on this
very charge.
That the bribery was attempted, and
that MIR. Monnett pressed for full
investigation of it, is conceded and is
IA matter of record. Justice Shauck re-
fused to permit the investigation to be
ca lied out and dismissed the Monnett
complaint. Consequently Haskell, VINO
convinced Monnett of his innocence,
W. not given opportunity to make his
showing in court of record.

THE PRESIDENT DODGES THE
QUESTION.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 23.-Gov.
Haskell, treasurer of the National Dem
ocratic Committee, may be guilty OF
the charge that he was once asso-
ciated with the Standard Oil Company
but no fair minded or candid man
who reads the Roosevelt statement in
to-nights dispatches will say that 1t
answers any part of Mr.. Bryan's de-
mand for him (Rooseveltl to make
good his charges.
As a fact, President Roosevelt
lodges the entire question and sub
mits no proof whatever, nor does he
accept Mr.. Bryan's challenge to in
vestigate the charges and upon the
decision that the readers, the head of
Haskell will stand or fall.
Instead of making an honest, frank
and manly reply to Mr.. Bryan, the
President quotes his subordinates and
takes up matters entirely irrelevant
to the charge that he made, which
was that Haskell attempted TO bride
an Ohio prosecuting attorney TO dis
mis- suits against the Standard Oil
Company. Mr.. Bryan challenged
him to prove his charge and the
President has lodged the issue.

AS the selection of Gov. Haskell as
chairman of the Committee on Resolu-
tions at Denver, and also as treasurer
of the Democratic National Commit
tee. had my approval and Endorsement,
| feel it my duty to demand an imme-
date investigation of charge against
him Endorsed by the President of the
United States.
Your high position, as we'll as your
sense of justice, would prevent your
giving sanction and circulation to
such charge without proof, and 1
respectfully request, therefore, that
you furnish any proof which you have
in your possession, or, If you have no
proof, l request that you indicate a
method by which the truth may be
ascertained.
Without consulting Mr.. Haskell, /
will agree that he will appear for in

lie or private, which you may indi-
cate. and / will further agree that
his connection with the National Com
mlttee and with this campaign shall
cease In the event that the decision OF
such a tribunal connects him In any
way with this charge, or In case you,
after an investigation of the facts,
say that YOU believe him guilty of the
charges made.
As the candidate of the Democratic
party, l shall not permit any respon-
sible member OF the Republican or
ganiEation to misrepresent the atti-
tude of the Democratic party in the
present campaign. have assisted
you to the extent of my ability In
remedial measures which l deemed
for the public good which you have
undertaken;I have urged Democrats TO
support such measures. and have ad-
yocated more radical measures against
private monopolies than either you or
your party associates have been will

the Democratic party is clear and
specific on this subject, as on other
subjects, while the platform of the Re-
publican party is uncertain and eva
sive.
The Democratic candidate for Vice
President, Mr.. Kern, Joined with me
in requesting the Democratic Nation
al Committee to fix maximum OF
$4,000 for individual contributions
and to publish before the election all
contributions above 800, and the
committee acted favorably on this re-
quest. The Republican candidate and
the Republican National Committee
proposed, not publication before the
election, but publication after the
election.

not receive any money from such. If
any money is contributed by such per-
sons without the knowledge of the
committee it will be returned as soon
as the fact is discovered.
The Democratic party is making an

MIR. BRYANs TELEGRAM.

MR.. BRYANS TELEGRAM.
The telegram to President Roose-
welt in reply to the Presidents state
ment is as follows:
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, President
of the United States-Dear Sir: In
a statement given out by you yes
terday and published in this mornings
papers, you indOrse a charge against
Gov. Haskell, of Oklahoma, to the
effect that he was once in the employ
of the Standard Oil Company, and
as such employee was connected with
an attempt to bride or influence At
torney General Monnett, of Ohio, to
dismiss suits pending against the
Standard Oil Company.
In indorsing this charge you attack
the Democratic party and its candi-
date, saying that Gov. Haskell stands
high in the councils of Mr.. Bryan and
is the treasurer of his National Cam
paign Committee" And you add that
the publication Of this correspond
ence not merely justifies in striking
fashion the action of the administra-
ton. but also casts a curious sidelight
On the attacks made on the admins
traitor, both in the Denver convention,
which nominated Mr.. Bryan, and in the
course of Mr.. Bryan's campaign"
Your charge is so serious that ]
cannot allow it to go unnoticed. Gov.
Haskell has denied he was ever EN-
ployed by the Standard Oil Company
fla any capacity or was ever connected
in any way with it or with the trans
action ON which your charge is based.
Gov Haskell demanded an investiga
tibn at the time the charge was first
made, offering to appear and testify,
and he demands an Investigation now.
/ agree with you that If Gov. Haskell
is guilty as charged he is unfit TO
be connected with the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, and I am sure you
will agree with me that il he is in

responsible member of the Republican
organization to misrepresent the at
titude OF the Democratic party in the
present campaign, and further, that
the Democratic party was making IAN

COMMENCEMENT AT ATHENS.
Bishop Atkins Preaches q Powerful
 Sermon.

Athens. May 25.-(SpeoiaL)-The an- nual commencement sermon of the Ath- ems College was preached Sunday in the eastern part of the beautiful cam pus by Bishop James Atkins of the Southern Methodist Church, and was heard by 1000 persons.
 The Idea of delivering the sermon under the shading branches of the gigantic oaks that shade the large and beautiful campus was an idea of the President, Miss Mary N. Moore, who had caused to be erected a large stand for the choir and the minister, sur mounted by a handsome reed organ.
 The people from the town and sur rounding country for miles, filled the yard and gave profound and undivided attention to the distinguished prelate, who so we'll entertained tn em for more than an hour with one of the finest ser = mons that has ever been heard here on a similar occasion. The immense congregation, perhaps the largest ever to assemble here for any purpose, arose in admiration and were charmed at the beautiful sight presented when the school, numbering well on to 300 young women, marched from the south en- trace of the college across the large campus and around the west front and up the drive to the space reserved for the school near the stand. AS they approached the stand, fifty well-trained voices of the vocal department began
