HOT SPRINGS. Va, July 13.-Mr. and
Mrs Taft have escaped the summer re-
sorting habit. They are at a summer
resort, but they have, with rare judy
ment and discretion, refused to be in

summer resorters.

mania II H. not characterized by fits

A maelstrom. always at top speed, al
ways bewildering and terrific. 1t is
worse than gambling. Gamblers haze
a chance TO get their money back.
Summer resorting, which Mr.. and Mrs.
Taft have escaped, has as it's most evt-
dent symptom the mad desire to be do

fly yesterday afternoon between 5 and
s o'clock were the most violent and
destructive for many years. AT least
nine persons are believed to have lost
their lives by drowning in the branches

partly filed gas bag acted as a sail

Haskell Answers Charges Made by
the President.

Guthrie, Okla, Sept. Ex-Governor
C. N. Haskell issued a statement to
the Associated Press in reply to Pres
ident 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 child labor bill,
that he dealt extensively in Greek 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 a 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 lille
gally in Indian lands Haskell dis
misses as false and handles the uni
versity charge made by the president
in like manner. s

National Committee Will.
Take No Action.
SOME URGE HIS REMOVAL

Others Express Hope That He Viii
Resign as Treasurer Unless He Can
Clear Himself in Every Particular
of the Allegations That Have Been
Made Concerning Him by the Pres.
ident and Hearst.
New York, Sept 25.--No action will
be taken by the Democratic national
committee with reference to the
charges that have been made against
Governor Charles N. Haskell pending
an investigation of the matter which
is now being made by Mr.. Bryan.
Meanwhile national committeeman
here are expressing hope that the
treasurer will resign from the commit
tee unless he can clear himself in
every particular of the allegations
that have been made concerning him.
It is known definitely that several ma
tional committeeman are urging that
Mr.. Haskell be removed. National
Chairman Mack said that he had moth
ing to say about the Haskell matter
and that he had received no commun-
ication from Mr.. Bryan or Governor
Haskell on the subject Mr.. Mack
said:
II don't know what is going to be
done and can't say whether Governor
Haskell shall resign or not"
National committeeman expressed
the belief that no official action
would be taken by the national
committee, that the whole matter
would be settled by Mr.. Bryan
and National Chairman Mack after the
candidate had satisfied himself of all
the facts in the case. Mr.. Mack said
he knew nothing of the report from
Washington that Mr.. Haskell had ten
dered his resignation and that he had
issued no order calling meeting Of
the national or executive committees.
