DREYFuS OUTRAGE MINIM|zEO
GOVERNMENT AVOIDS RESUR-
RECTIoN OF OLD ISSUE.
Bullet Not Found in Victims Arm.
Gregori's Friends Say He Fired
Wax Pellet.

PARIS, June 1.-THE excitement pro-
duced by the attempt to kill Maj. Alfred
Dreyfus last Thursday by Louis Gregori.
during the ceremonies attending the plac-
ing of the remains of Emile lola in the
national Pantheon. is rapidly subsiding.
1t is now apparent that the Clemenceau
government does not intend to play into
the hands Of the nationalists by reviving
the old issue of which the country is
weary. The republican press. generally.
is cooperating with the government by
minimizing the importance of the out
rage by refraning from speculation as to
whether or not there was plot behind II
and by ignoring the vaporngs of the ma
tionalist press.

NM Maurras and Daudet of L'Action

they were not hauled up to explain their

Bullet May Have Been Of Wax.
The doctors have not been able to 10
cate the ball in Maj. Dreyfus' arm. and
say that possibly it has been elected by

Gregori. however, advance the theory
that he used wax pellets instead of but

These pellets were invented ten years
ago for use in practice with dueling
pistols. When they are fired at dis
lance of twenty PAGES they produce an
abrasion of the skin, but are otherwise
harmless.
Some newspapers today say neither the
revolver nor any cartridges were found
after the shooting.
In addition to the correspondence of
certain generals technical subjects

HAsKELL'S REJoINDER
Made Up of Sarcasm and State
 History.

Guthrie, okla, Sept Ex-Governor C. N. Haskell tonight issued state ment to the Associated Press in reply to President RoOsevelt's letter to Will liam J. Bryan.
 Governor HaskelPs statement fol- lows:
 ITO the Associated Press:
 President Roosevelts letter is be- fore me and while this Is the first time in my life I have been made the sub ject of a cabinet meeting, I am thank ful for the distinction and I wish to express my high regard for the office Of president and my profound respect for the wisdom of our fathers in mak- ing it possible to change the occupant .of that high office every four years without the right granted to a crown prince to succeed the king.
 T spoke the truth when I said I nev- CT in all my life had any interest in connection with nor service with the Standard oil company
 "I say that the president knows now that my statement is true, and I re- gret that he tries to brush it aside. Were I to adopt tit, character of lan- guage so commonly used by the presi- dent, I would spell it in fewer letters than "falsehood
 President Roosevelt comes to Okla homa and finds a substitute for his ohio failure, in the case of the state against the Prairie oil and Gas com pany, which he complains l compelled to be dismissed.
 ''Yes, I did have it dismissed. Yes. we all know that the Prairie company is Standard oil company offspring and I charge that the political allies, Hearst and Roosevelt, both know that I acted properly.
 First, the Prairie oil company got it's franchise in our state, not from me, but from Roosevelts secretary of the interior. long before statehood began, and had its main line built and operat- ing, and congress in our statehood bill was careful to declare that our new state when organized must respect all such vested rights and existing franch- ises. That was all did and the fed eral courts stood ready to call me down if I violated the Roosevelt territorial franchises.
 T would also remind the president that the company tried to enlarge its right so as to include a gas and oil privilege This I defeated and even last April, MT. President, your secre- tary of the interior tried to help the Standard oil against my protest by actually granting them a franchise to lay an interstate gas line also. notified the secretary that since state hood VOt1r days of giving valuable franchises in our state had passed

Washington. Sept 23-President Roosevelt tonight, following a prolong- ed conference with the members of the cabinet at the White House, prepared and gave out his reply to William J. Bryan. the democratic candidate, rela- tive to w. R. Hearst's charges that Governor Haskell. treasurer of the democratic campaign committee, had represented Standard Oil interests both in Ohio and Oklahoma. MT. Bryan had demanded proof of the charges. prom ising that in the event of their sub stantiation, Governor Haskell would be eliminated from the campaign.
 Dismissing the ohio case, which in volved an allegation of attempted brib- cry, with the explanation that he had made no direct charge against Gov ernor Haskell as regards that partic- ular incident, President Roosevelt takes up the matter of the Prairie Oil X Gas company and argues that Gov ernor HaSkCll's action in stopping the legal proceedings begun by the attor- ncy general of Oklahoma, demonstrates conclusivcly that he was controlled by the great corporation to which the Ok lahoma company was subsidiary.
 After contrasting Mir. Bryan's de- fense of Governor Haskell as against Judge Tafts reputation and alluding to Senator Foraker in connection with the Hearst charges against the Ohio senator the president proceeds to de- clare that Governor HaskeIrs utter un- fitness for association with any man anxious to appeal to the American  abundanuy shown in this and in other acts of his as governor of Oklahoma. The president condemns Governor Haskelrs conduct in con- nection with the various matters as disgraceful and scandalOus.

THE VERGE
 OF A RIOT On the New York Baseball

It Came In the Ninth Over a Run That Broke a Tie.

New York, Sept. 23.-According to the official score of the New York Baseball club, the local Nationals won tOday's game from the Cham pions at the polo grounds by a score of to l. The game has been pro tested by the Chicago club, but Pres ident Pulliam denied tonight that he had taken any action in the matter, as he cannot and will not do so un- til the case has been presented to him in the regular form.

 Umpire Emslie was judging the base running and is credited with saying that he did not see whether Merkle went to second or not. O'Oay later on declared that the run did not count.
 While the players were arguing a small riot was going on and a general melee seemed so imminent that the police were easily distinguishable in the midst of the people on the field and what threatened to be a serious outbreak was quelled without anyone being injured.
