that way. he answered: I did not say I saw any of the officials of the stand arc Oil Company. l am giving you what found was the drift of opinion of well posted politicians as well as bankers. I guess Governor Haskell Is all right They have not proved any thing on him, have theyT The news paper clipping goes on to say that Judge Priest was one of the lawyers who fought Attorney General Hadley in the States custer suit against the Waters-Pierce and Republic Oil Com panies. His legal practice is chiefly with the big corporations and his firm is counsel for the United Railways Company and the North American in- terests in St. Louis.'
 You say that the magnates know their own interests and are support ing Judge Taft. So far as their inter ests are simply the interests of the business community and especially of the wage workers. believe they will support Judge Taft. So far as they have special interests which are to business welfare. I believe they will support you. base this belief upon what happened in 1896 Your success then would. in my belief. have been a calamity for the country from the standpoint of the welfare of the busi- ness men. farmers and workingmen. just as, in my belief. your success now would be a calamity to- the country both from the standpoint of business (and especially of the interests of the wage earner). and from the standpoint of morals.
 Fear Tnft's Prosecution.
 My belief is. and the attitude of many men of large financial interests warrant me in expressing the belief. that these trust magnates whose fear of being prosecuted under the law by Mir. Taft is greater than their fear of general business diversity under you, will support you and not MT. Taft.
 T now come to what you have to say as to contributions. and here you furnish your own answer. You state that 1t appears from the published statement of the contributions to Mir. Hughes campaign for Governor two years ago that various men of wealth. some of them connected with big cor porations whom you name to the num- Der of nine, contributed from $20.000 to $500.000 a piece.

Hartman and those collected by him from oth- CTS? Are you willing to say that the publication before election of the con- tributions then made would have

CHOLERA IN RUSSIA
OVER FIFTEEN THOUSAND CASES
 REPORTED.
In st. Petersburg Alone, Nearly Five Thousand Cases Have Been Re-

In St. Petersburg Alone, Nearly Five
 Thousand Cases Have Been Re-
 ported With Nearly Two
 Thousand Deaths.
 St. Petersburg. Sept. 27.-Since the beginning of the epidemic there have been 15,6s3 cases of Asiatic cholera reported In Russia and 7.102 deaths. In St. Petersburg, alone. since the pres ence of the disease was officially ad- mitted. September 8. there have been 4.391 cases and 1875 deaths reported.
 The figures with reference to the in vasion of the city by the disease can not be relied upon. as on a number of occasions. private but trustworthy statistics showed the number of cases and deaths in a single day to be far in excess of that announced by the authorities.
 The efforts of Premier stolypin and some of the higher government ofi- cials. however. which recently have been directed towards arousing the municipal authorities to action. have resulted in an appreciable betterment of the sanitary conditions and a con- sequent decrease in the disease as shown by the figures given out to- day.
 For the twenty-four hours ending at city was 26S and the number of deaths l4S. as compared with 312 new cases and l53 deaths for the previous twen- ty- four hours and 357 cases and 162 deaths between Thursday noon and Friday noon. The people have taken heart because of this improvement

and the variaus rival pipe line com panies (such- as the Oklahoma Natural Gas Company. the. Cary River Gas Company, the Dense Portland Sement Company and others. including Texas and Gulf Company, all on the same terms and under the same conditions, the right of way across the Indian res ervations. No preference or privileges was granted to any company that was not also granted to all others Any other action than that actually taken by the Interior Department would have been grossly improper as the actions or Governor Haskell himself.
 Declined to Prosecute
 The permit of the national gov. ernment as set forth in the teleEra m or the Secretary of the Interior to Gov ernor Haskell of April 23rd last, was merely to cross or use the restricted aliotments and tribal property of the Indians; 1t had nothing to do with the question of compliance with the iaws or the State of Oklahoma and con- lerred no privilege to cross territory in Oklahoma outside of these reser. vations Governor Haskell refuses to permit any proceedings to be taken against the Standard Oil Company. ai- though this company declines to obey the law of Oklahoma. He claims that the Standard Oil rights were superior ASAAAA CAhCAto VI tu6 OhldnOma Constitution, for which he was himself mainly responsible, he took the decis- ion of this question away from the courts. and, against the opinion of his Attorney General. he decided 1t in fas Vor of the Standard oil Corporation.
 The President here quotes the re- cent statement of the Attorney Gener- al Of Oklahoma concerning the ouash- Ing or his suit against the Prairie oil and Gas Company and says:
 The National Government obeyinR both the laws and the principIes of sound morality discriminated neitnh- CT for nor against the Standard OH Company or it's rival. Governor Has- kell, against the law and, against ey- cry principle of honesty and fair deal ing. discriminated in favor of the Standard oil Company. Failure to zee the disunction between the two cases indicates moral rather than mental obtuseness.
 "You have uttered no word of con- demnation of Haskellism as we thus see 1t. That you consciously sought to bring 1t about do not believe That it was the natural result of the effort to apply in practice your teach ings. I have no question.
 Yours truly.

Denver. Col. Sept. 27.--More than three thousand bankers representing all classes of financial institutions and every State in the Urion. will assem- ble here this week at the Thirty-fourth annual convention of the American Bankers Association.
 Hundreds of delegates are already on the scene and 1t Is evident from their conversation in the hotel corri- dors that the liveliest session since the memorable one of 1896 is expected. This year the guaranty of bank depos- its probably will be the principal top- ic of discussion. Another subject of vital interest that will be discussed at length is that of currency. The as- sociation was not satisfied with the AL drfch currency bill. The Currency Commission of the American Bankers Association. which drafted a measure of it's own only to see it rejected by the leaders of Congress will make it's formal report at next Thursdays ses- sion and delegates then will he given an opportunity to express their views on the subject.
 Reports of Committees.
 The reports of the legislative com mittee and the committees on express companies and bills of lading which will be made at the opening session on Wednesday, will present other topics of general interest. The association prevent the express companies selling money orders while the alleged failure of the railroads to safeguard bills of ladfng also has been the subject of much contention on both in the courts and before Congress and the Inter- State Commerce Commission. It Is practically certain that the convention will empower these committees to continue their respective contests.
 A number of speakers of national prominence will participate not only in the sessions of the convention proper which will be held on Wednesday and Thursday but also of the Savings Bank day and Tuesday. Pierre Jay, Bank Commissioner of Massachusetts. will deliver an address at the meeting. of the Savings Bank section and the pro posed postal savings bank law will be analysed in the report of a special committee appointed for that purpose. ''The effect of the recent panic on the Eastern savings banks" will be the subject of a paper by John c. Gris- wold, of New York
 Prominent Speakers.
 Governor Henry A. Buchtel. of Col orado, and President William E. Hughes. of the Continental Trust Company, of Denver, will deliver the addresses of welcome to the trust company delegates. Among the speak CTS will be Breckenridge Jones. of St. Louis who has chosen for his subject '"The Trust Company: A Necessity" F. H. Fries, of Winston Salem, N. C.. who will discuss "RaSicalism vs. Conserv- atism," and Lawrence L. Gillespie, of New York. who will speak on New York City Trust Companies Under Present Legislation" A general dis cussion of What Lessons for the Trust Companies Were Revealed in the 1907 Panic" will also take place.

 Judgments Against Haskell.
 "when Mir. Haskell was in New York, various judgments were nled against him. I will not at the mo- ment discuss the charges of perjury and fraud made against him by At torney Albert H. Walker. of New York. in connection with the suit decided by Judge Lacombe, in March. 1902. But the records of the county clerk of NeV York county show that on February 21. 1900, judgment for damages and costs amounting to $42,236.43, recorded in the Supreme Court, was filed against Charles N. Haskell. On April ?, 1900, this Judgment was returned on the sheriffs execution, satisfied to the ex- tent of only S29.S0, and the remainder of 1t remains still unsatisfied. Neither shall I touch upon the various suits of all kinds of reasons. thus 1t Is re- ported in the press under date of Sep tember 19, 1908, that a $500 judgment had been obtained against MT. Haskell by an attorney of Ark who was employed by him to lobby before the city council of Muskogee to get through, franchise. The attorneys fee was never paid but the franchise was granted.
 "Nor again shall I touch upon the facsimile published in the press of Sep tember 25 last. showing Mir. Haskell having three years ago joined an or- ganization to prevent union labor from k6A AIt tr Indeed, as regard this last statement, I wish distinctly to acquit Haskell of being opposed on principle to either trade unions or corporations; for I wish to acquit him of being opposed on principle to anything.
 "Now as to Governor Haskelrs con- nection with the Standard oil Com pany in Oklahoma. Governor Haskell advances the fact that the United States government permitted the Standard oil Company, on the same terms as any all other companies, to enjoy the legal privileges to which 1t was entitled on the Indian reservations of Oklahoma as his Justification for having given 1t illegal privileges to which it was not entitled in the State of Oklahoma. The excuse furnishes the measure of Governor Haskelfs moral quality. The federal act Of March II. 1904, conferred upon the Secretary of the Interior the right to grant permits for oil and gas pipe lines to cross Indian reservations. Reg ulations to carry out the law were drawn up by the Indian officers and approved by the Secretary Of the In- terior April 21. 1904. In compliance with the law and the regulations the Department of the Interior permitted the Standard Oil Pipe Line Company (the Prairie oil and Gas Company,
