Haskell,s statemenl follow!

Haskells statement follows:
President RoOseyelt's letter is be-
fore me, and while this is the first
time in my life ] have been made the
subject of a Cabinet meeting, | am
thankful for the distinction, and |
wish to explain my high regard for the
Office of president and my profound
respect for the wisdom OF our fathers
in making il possible TO change the
occupant of that high Office every four
years, without the right granted to
a crown prince to succeed the king.
assert IL is fair for me to assume
If my case was to be dignihed by an
all day Cabinet meeting that, by the
decision, Mr.. Hearst and his campaign
associate President Roosevelt left no
stone unturned to blacken my charac-
ter. That being true, they certainly
raked Ohio fore and aft concerning
the Ohio Standard Oil cases OF 1899
and finding absolutely nothing reflect
ing on me, the president tried to wave
his charge of last Monday aside by
saying he will make no allusion TO
that He drops this subject because
his original statement was untruthful
and | say now that the president
knows that my statement is true and
| regret that he tries TO brush II aside
without doing me candid justice.
We're to adopt the character Of Ian
guage so commonly used by the presl-
dent | would spell 1t in fewer letters
than falsehood.
Mr.. Roosevelt ! expect to speak in
Ohio soon. May | hope to divide the
time with some partisan of yours or
Prince William, who will defend your
action in this instance?
President Roosevelt comes to Okla
homa and finds a substitute for his
| Ohio failure in the case of state
against the Prairie Oil and Gas com
pany, which he complains compelled
to be dismissed.
Yes, did have II dismissed. We
all know that the Prairie OH company
is a Standard Oil offspring and the
president claims to have known this
also, and | charge that the political
allies, Hearst and Roosevelt, both
know that | acted properly.
First, the-Prairie Oil company got
its franchise in our state from Roose.
velt's secretary OF the interior long
before statehood began and had its
main line built and operating, and
Congress- in our statehood bill, was
careful to declare that our new state
must respect all such vested rights
and existing franchises.
That was all / did, and the federal
courts stood ready 20 call me down
I IL | violated the Roosevelt territorial
franchises.
Now, Mr.. President, who did your
secretary of the interior grant what
you know to be a Standard Oil pipe
line franchise in our then helpless ter
ritory and fasten 1t in our new state
by a permanent statehood bill? viii
Mr. Hearst or the president please
answer?
Knowing all these things the presi.
dent must pardon us for thus taking
issue with the occupant of the high
office we all respect.
Let us hope that in the future he
will appreciate and preserve its dig
nifty and not try to reflect upon the
character of humble citizen. We
fail to concede his false position when
he knows 1t is false,
(Signed) c. N. Haskell.

Disputes Will Be Settled.

The Hague, December 24. -rhe foreign office has been advised that Jos De Paul. UT til recently Venezuelan minister of for e.sn affairs, left LaGuaira today for Paris and The Hague on a special mission from .he new Venezuelan government to open negotiations for the settlement of the ex isling disputes between Venezuela and France and Holland.
 It was learned at the foreign office to- cay that the enforcing of previous or ders prohibiting the exportation of arms and ammunition from Curacao to Vene- zrela depends upon successful adjustment of the matters now in dispute between Caracas and The Hague, and that the recall of Dutch warships from Vene- zuelan waters hangs on the outcome of diplomatic negotiations regarding the fu- iGre relations between Holland and Ven ezuela. Holland removed the restriction against the sending out of arms during her troubles with Venezuela and 1t was generally understood that the munitions Of war that it consequently would be possible to transport were for the use of Venezuelan insurgents.
 Foreign Minister Van Swederin is the recipient of numerous congratula tory messages from home and abroad on his successful handling of the Venezuelan dispute.

Dun & Co.'s Review.

New York, December PAR. G. Dun & Cc's weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Retail sales have been large, both of holiday goods and staples, but season able dullness is noted in Jobbing and wholesale lines. Fall River mills and some ether manufacturing plants closed from Thursday night to Monday morning, but other shops had too many orders on hand for an extended holiday and inven- tories promise much pressure for delivery after January l. Output of iron and steel is steadily increasing, blast furnaces at Gary being added to the active capacity end work.
 No change has occurred in the primary market for cotton goods nor is any to be expected until January. The only buy ing at present is for urgent needs no speculation being attempted even by the most confident. Retail trade in dry goods was not large at the east, but very favor able reports are received from the west. The brief spurt in export trade was not maintained no further interest being shown by China, while the only new bus- Less Is in small orders for prints from Manila and South America.

that country, Special Commissioner w. l. Buchanan is now on his way for a con ference with the government of acting President Gomez and American warships are proceeding in that direction with friendly intentions. The North Carolina, on which Mir. Buchanan is travelling is a swift vessel, but it probably will be week before he has an opportunity for conference with the Venezuelans and is able to communicate fully to the state department on the subject. The gunboat Dolphin, meantime, will anchor at La graira and be in a position to give as- sistanee to the Venezuelan government in preventing disorders shoul1 any arise ard afford protection to the American in- teiests there and to foreign interests as well.
 ~hly passing interest was manifested at the state department today over the statement made by President Castro at Berlin amounting to a virtual abandon ment of his present claims to the presi- dency of Venezuela.

There is cable from Wilemstad bGt no telegraphic communication be- tween Willemstad and Venezuela. The North Carolina has on board w. c, Buch- anan special commissioner of the United States to settle questions at issue.

 Active at Present.
JJBBlNG LINES ARE QUIET
,w York December 24.-Bradstreets

New York, December 24.-Bradstreets will say tomorrow
 Holiday trade expanded further and reached it's maximum this week with majority of cities reporting this class of business larger than year ago few cites report the volume larger even than in 1906, qualifying this by saying that the aggregate money value is smaller owing to cheaper grades of goods bought. In wholesale and jobbing lines the week has been a quiet one with the possible exception of staple wools, which have been sold well at the highest prices oi the year. Attention in wholesale lines is largely concentrated on inventories and calculations as to the entire years busl- ness As to this latter there is very general agreement that there is a per ceptible decrease, ranging from five to 20 per cent from the volume of business done in 1907 and 1906 There was also general agreement that pronts have de- creased. Reports as to collections are not materially changed from last week.
 The iron trade is marking time as usual at this season.

 AT HOT SPRINGS

NJ Cox. wealthy and retired manufac- turer of Portland, Me, had fallen head first from a third-story window of a local hotel to his death on the concrete pave- menl Of Central avenue instead nf having juraped from the window with suicidal in- tent, as was at first reported, was the verdict of the coroner's jury which inves- tfgated the mans death. After accom- panyng Mrs. Cox to the dining room of the hotel, Cox returned to his apartments on the third floor to complete his toilet. A few moments later he was picked up, his skull fractured and in dying condi- tion on the sidewalk At first it was be- lieved that he had jumped from the win dow, but later investigation disproved this theory. Cox, who was a sufferer from nervous neurasthenia, came to this city month ago to spend the winter.
