BRANCH OF STANDARD OIL
PRAIRIE COMPANY OF OKLA
HoMA SUBSIDIARY.
Secretary Straus Quotes Evidence in
Federal Case-Matter Put Up
to Gov. Haskell.

Secretary Straus of the Department OF
Commerce and Labor has addressed let
ter to the editor of the New York World
intended to corroborate the Hearst allie
cation that Gov Haskell of Oklahoma
treasurer of the democratic national COM
nittee, recently interposed to protect the
Standard Oil Company from prosecution.
The letter is as follows:
Ignores the Prairie Company.
''1n your editorial you state, for Mr..
Haskells defense of himself is by no
means conclusive. He has ignored entire
ly the Prairie Oil and Gas Company
charge. and has attempted to shift the re-
sponsbility in the Monnett case upon an
other Haskell, who Indignantly denies
that he ever knew anything about the
affair
You also state: Tt ought not to be
very difficult for him to prove that the
Prairie Oil and Gas Company. which he
recently restrained the attorney general
of Oklahoma from proceeding against I'M
der the laws of the state, is not sub
sidiary corporation of the Standard Oil
COmpany
Excerpt From Evidence.
'As L know you welcome light upon this
subject and that Qualification is very
easily supplied 1 refer you to the evil
dence taken in the case before the United
States VS.. the Standard Oil Company,
now pending before the United States cir
cult court at ST. Louis. In that case,
when the testimony was taken in New
York the latter part of 1907. the Standard
Oil Company upon being required by the
government to put In list OF all the
companies in which it held stock: or IN
which it's subsidiary companies held stock,
reported, among other things, the follow
ing bearing upon this very point:
"Petitioner's exhibit, No. 11)
Prairie Oil and Gas Co.. total capital. $40 900 00O
National Transit Company's proportion 9,999,oOC
From other exhibits in the same case
@ and I'D, furnished by the Standard Oil
Company. it appears that the capital
stock of the National Transit Company
amounts to S25. 49,, 200, of which the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey
owns. according to its own showing, $25,
451. $50
You will thus see that you put up to
Mr.. Haskell very difficult proposition"
