At ROOSEVELT ON
STANDARD OIL
Charges President With Favor
ing Trusts--Demands CAN
collation. of Usage Lease.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Oct. 1s.-Gov.
Haskell, OF Oklahoma, who arrived here
to-day from Guthrie. gave to the Asso-
ciated Press copy of n letter addressed
to President Roosevelt on the subject OF
the leasing TO f. b. Foster in 1896 of
ESQ., 200 acres of Usage Indian oil lands
which the Governor calls the richest oil
country in existence"
II shall insist" says the Governor in
his letter, upon cancellation OF this
lease in the interest of these citizens OF
our State, or that Congress take action
to declare this improvdent and unjust
lease void and secure for the Usage ma -
ton the Just and reasonable compensa-
ton that other owners are receiving.
II agree" he continued, that in 1896
the Democratic Administration made
lease to E. B. Foster on the entire
Usage Nation for ten years at 10 per
cent royalty. At that time the nearest
known oil production was about seven
hundred miles from the Usage Nation.
but during the ten years the field was
developed and found to be unusually
rich, and ten years at this low royalty
was an ample reward to those who de-
veloped IT."
Gov. Haskell asserts that by 1905 Fos-
ter had transferred his lease to the In
dian Territory Illuminating Oil Com
pany. a well known subsidiary OF the
Standard Oil Company.
You neglected to give the Osages any
opportunity whatever to be heard" says
the Governor In his letter. The fact
that $4,000 acres OF rich oil land was
the stake the Standard Oil Company
was playing for. and the land owners de-
MED the right to be heard, is something
that will require a more lucid explana-
ton than Frank Pierce. acting secretary
of the Interior Department, has seen fit
to give
In conclusion Gov. Haskell says: Mr..
Pierce suggests in a letter to me that
as a matter of fact 1t was not known

pany was the real party in interest 1

INSANE, DANCED
BEFORE EXPRESS
AND WAS KILLED
Of Five Hundred Spectators
Not One Tried to Save
Young Man.

Seized with a returning attack Of in
sanity, which for several months had
confined him in the Snake Hill Asylum.
Gustave Nader, twenty-three years old,
of No. $50 Clalrmont avenue, Jersey
City. danced in front OF an express
train ut the West Side station of the
Newark and New York Railroad to-
day and was killed.
Several weeks ago the young man was
released from the asylum as cured. He
returned to live with his sister Eleanor
IN the Clairmont avenue house. This
morning she left him in apparently
good spirits, but she had hardly disap-
peared around corner when he ap-
peared on the pavement before his
home and began to dance.
Flinging his arms about wildly, he
danced down the street. Now and then
he would stop and whirl like a top, and
his antics soon attracted large crowd.
The presence of spectators seemed to
increase his terpsichorean franzy, and.
kicking his legs high. he went swiftly
down the street, turned the corner and
on toward the west side station of the
railroad.
Fully FIVE hundred people were at his
heels, but no one seemed inclined to in
terrupt his dancing. He was a power
fully built young man, and there were
many among those who watched him
who knew that he had been in an in
sane asylum. No policeman could be
found.
Arriving at the station platform. the
madman danced it's length. and then
danced back again. Then he danced in
a circle about the little station. and had
danced back to the platform as an ex-
press train that did not stop there
whizzed down the rails from Newark.
The dancer never relaxed his mao
skipping and bounding for a minute,
but as the train drew nearer his feet
flew faster and his arms waved more
wildly. The locomotive was not fifty
yards away and travelling at forty
miles an hour when he danced out onto
the tracks. and was still dancing when
the fender struck him down and the
wheels ground him to pieces.
