Now, there is another Haskell in
Cleveland. I don't remember his ini-
tials, but his name was Haskell. He
lived in that city and he was often
there. He was connected with the
Rockefeller crowd and it was very
easy to confuse the two. Charlie Has
kell was not living in Ohio then; he
was living in New York, and the mo-
ment he Heard that the charge was
made against him he offered to come
back and face the charge; and Charlie
Haskell was the only one Of the bunch
who ever was. Haskell denied that he
had any connection with that charge,
but we didn't get chance to have
him testify, because Of the fact that
the case was dismissed. and not be-
cause he was not ready to come"

Steel company in 1898 while promot-
ing the Detroit and Lima Northern.
The suit is on a judgment obtained
against Haskell in the supreme court
OF New York county. Haskell in his
answer admits borrowing the money
but says the securities in the case are
still owned by the company, and not
by Loder, and he pleads also the stat

cry Of town lots alleged to have been
secured from the Creek Indian ma

Former Attorney General Frank S.
Monnett Of Ohio, came to Oklahoma
City during Haskelrs campaign for
governor, and on September 12, in the
Oklahoma City convention hall, he
made a two-hours' speech, in which
he said:
Charlie Haskell has stood in my
judicial district first as a young law
yer and then as a contractor. He went
up against such men as Calvin Brice
and Sam Thomas, and he asked no
odds or quarter from them. Haskell
never was a politician. Mr.. Sheets has
said that If came here I would tell
you what occurred In regard to the
Standard Oil bribery matter and /
am only too glad to tell it. He has
charged Charlie Haskell, or says that
have charged him through one
Squires, with something which 1 have
ever since tried to give him an oppor-
tunity to straighten out. From the
very first moment the charge was
made Haskell stood ready to straight
en- it out, but Sheets told you, and the
records show, that the case was dis
missed before he ever had a chance
to testify. The charge was made on
the answer OF Squires. When they
asked him whom he represented he
said Frank Rockefeller and Has
kell" We named those just as he
gave them, and the name Of Haskell
appeared, Haskell, OF Clevelaed.

bead for . speech he made In the

young women Of this country with

asserts unat the Philippines can be

the American millions a thus be
held within our. own country. The
congressman will lind that his plan

Of the young women Of this country,
for they can tell the difference be-
TWEEN q Philippine duke and the kind
that are produced In Europe. The
congressman is all right In trying to
