BERKELEY, Sept. 26.-The boldness

PIPE LEASES MADE
ACCORDING TO LAW
Secretary Garfield Replies to
Statement of Haskell That
Discrimination Was Shown

WASHINGTON. Sept. 26--Secretary
ment concerning the relations Of for
mer Secretary Hitchcock with the issue
of leases authorizing the Prairie oil
and gas company to lay pipe lines
through Indian lands in Oklahoma. The
records of his department, he declared.
show very clearly that Secretary Hitch
cock simply complied with an act OF
congress authorizing the construction
of pipe lines and that nowhere, he de-
clared, is there any record of other
evidence that the president at any time
either overruled Hitchcock or was at
variance with him in the course he
pursued in the issuance of the per-
mits
Garfield declared that t&e depart
ment had never Disseminated against
or was in favor of any person or cor
poration in the granting of these leases
and that the Prairie oil and gas COM
pany was dealt with exactly as were
others who applied for the right to
lay pipe lines. About 20 permits to
lay pipe lines have been granted by
the department in connection with the
Indian lands in Oklahoma. In no case,
he said. had there been any interfer-
ence with the laws OF Oklahoma
Secretary Garfield said:
1.-THE statement OF Governor Haskell
that he protested against any action Of
the interior department, implying that
the interior department was attempt
ing to grant franchise in opposition
to the rights of the state of Oklahoma,
Is untrue, for no such protest was ever
received nor was the interior depart
ment attempting to take any such ac-
tion.''
Secretary Loeb also stated that the
company had been granted no prfvi-
leges that any other company could not
have obtained.
