KETCHELL PUNCH MAY
CAUSE FARMERS DEATH
Paul Ackley, Farmer Boy, Suffering
From Conclusion of Brain as Result
of Champions Practice Blow.

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 30.-Paul
Ackley. green country lad, lies at the
point of death at the home of H
FRANKIE, a dairyman living on the
Slausson road. the victim of a terrible
punch from the right fist of Stanley
Ketchel, middleweight champion, which
dropped him like a dog, unconscious
and with brain conclusion which the
doctors say may yet prove fatal.
Ackley is conscious at time, but never
rational. When awake he gazes stupid
ly about him and is unable to answer
any save simple questions intelligently.
Then he sinks into a heavy stupor like
sleep, from which it is difficult to
arouse him.
Is Unconscious Five Hours.
When Ketchel felled the boy like an
OK before the butchers mallet, Ack-
ley went to the mat unconscious and
could not be brought back to even a
semblance of life for five houds The
blow which injured him was a full
swing from Ketchers powerful shout
ders, which caught him squarely be-
tween the eyes. The doctors say ii is
one of the worst cases of brain con-
cussion without a fracture they have
even known. Ackley is receiving the
best of treatment, but is far from out
of danger

REPLIES TO ROOSEVELT.
Haskell Answers Charges Made by
the President.

Guthrie, Okla, Sept. 2 l.-Governor
G. N. Haskell issued a statement to
the Associated Press in reply to Pres
1dent ROosevelt's letter to William j.
Bryan, dealing with four specific
charges against Mr.. Haskell, namely,
that he is subservient to the Standard
Oil, that he vetoed a child. labor bill,
that he dealt extensively in Creek In.
dian lands and that he had allowed
politics to dominate him in the re-
moval of members of the faculty of
the state university and the appoint
ment of others to succeed them.
The Prairie Gas and Oil company
charges, made against him by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, are declared by Gov
ernor Haskell to be joke on Roose-
velt's stupidity.
He declares that the president
knows that his charges are false and
passes direct lie to Roosevelt.
Haskell goes into oil case in detail
and declares that every move he made
was justified. He gives his reasons
for vetoeing the child labor bill by
saying that it went too far. He con-
meets Hearst and the president in a
plot to ruin him and declares that
though they are beaten they stoop to
ward politics rather than admit de-
feat like men.
The charge that he has dealt ille-
gally in Indian lands Haskell dis
misses as false and handles the uni
versity charge made by the president
in a like manner.

Needless to state, I. B. didn't come

means in his power, for ]. J. Opsahl

Allen was on both sides and in
the middle of the judicial fight,

was concerned. -
In the contest for nomination for
the Office of county auditor, Allen
told both George and Wilmann
that he was with them, and then
was forced to lay the blame of
having juggled the truth onto his
daughter.
In the fight for county attorney,
Allen fell out with the gentleman

Signing an Apostasy to Labor and
He Reads the Document Presented
for His Signature. .-.r
Washington, Sept. 2l-The days
developments in the labor contempt
3 hearing, in which President Gompers,
Vice President Mitchell and Secretary
Morrison of the American Federation
of Labor are defendants, brought out
charges that Mr.. Gompers was impor-
tuned to sign an apostasy to labor,
making him say he confessed ''the er-
ror of his ways" in view of his then
serious illness; that the manufacture
ers' association sought financial sup
port in the case and that the proceed
ing, purposely postponed until after
the Democratic national convention,
was designed to impoverish the Fed
Grafton of Labor. Mr.. Gompers re.
sumed his narrative concerning the
efforts to bride him. He said that
Brandenburg, coming to him as an
emissary from President Van Cleave
of the manufacturers association, as
su1ned the name of Edgefeld, though
Gompers referred to him as Branden-
burg. Gompers said Brandenburg
sought to obtain his (Gompers) sig
nature to an article of apostasy, in
the nature of a "thanatopsis, which
"Edgetield" had prepared, purporting
to have been written by Gompers
when supposedly about to die in 1895.
ing he procured it from Brandenburg,
determining to retain it "even. at the
risk of his life"
The cross-examination of Mr.. Com
pers was concluded. He had a sharp
colloquy with Attorney Davenport, de-
nouncing one of the latter's questions
as "impertinent." He said in his state
ment that he considered the present
proceeding as one intended to rob
him of the right of free speech and
that he did not believe that this could
be done by court decision. He de-
MED any intention to treat the court
otherwise than courteously. There
were also sharp references to national
politics. Attorney Ralston, for the
federation, made statement concern
ing the purpose of his examination,
which was, he said, to make manifest
to the court that there is a conspiracy
to destroy organized labor

ROOSEVELT REPLIES
TO BRYAN'S DEMAND
Reiterates Charges Against Gov
ernor Haskell.

Washington, Sept. z;-President
Roosevelt has answered the challenge
of William j. Bryan that he furnish
proof of his charge connecting G. N
Haskell, governor of Oklahoma and
treasurer of the Democratic national
committee, with the Standard Oil com.
pany.
Taking advantage of the opening
furnished by Mr.. Bryan's demand the
president not only reiterates that Has.
kell enjoyed friendly relations with
the Standard Oil company but at.
tempts to demonstrate that the cleo
ton of Mr.. Bryan to the presidency
would be national disaster.
President Roosevelt takes up the
matter of the Prairie State Oil and
Gas company, and argues that Cover
nor Haskell's action in stopping legal
proceedings begun by the attorney
general of Oklahoma demonstrates
conclusively that he was controlled by
the great corporation to which the
Oklahoma company was subsidiary.
After contrasting Mr.. Bryan's de-
Tense of Governor Haskell as against
Judge Taft's reputation Of Foraker
in connection with the Hearst charges
against the Ohio senator the president
proceeds 10 declare that Governor
Haskell's utter unfitness for associa-
ton with any man anxious to appeal
to the American people on moral is
sue has been abundantly shown by
other acts of his as governor of Okla
homa.
The president condemns Governor
Haskell's conduct in connection with
various matters as disgraceful and
scandalous and calls special attention
to what he describes as "prostituting
to base purposes the state university"
This fresh charge against the COVER
nor rests on an article in the Outlook,
from which the president quotes, and
which, he says, forms the conclusion
that Governor Haskell is unworthy OF
any position in public life.
The latter portion of Mr.. Roosevelt's
deliverance is devoted to a criticism
of Mr.. Bryan's plan for regulating
the trusts, which he characterizes as a
measure that sounds more radical than
any advocated by the Republicans but
which in practice would not work.
Concluding Mr.. Roosevelt declares
that no law-defying corporation has
anything to fear from Mr.. Bryan
''save what it would suffer from the
general paralysis of business which
would follow Democratic success"
