TEDDY AGAIN.
Another Alleged Connection With
Granting Prairie Oil Franchise
indianapolis Man Tells
New Story.

1uc CldLt.
indianapolis, Ind, September 29.-
There is in Indianapolis man wh<
declares that he has the positive
word Of T. NJ. Barnesdale of Pitts
burg that President Roosevelt order
ed Ethan Allen Hitchcock, then Sec
retary Of the interior, to grant to the
Prairie Oil and Gas company a fran
chise in the territory of Oklahoma
after Barnesdale, president Of the oil
company, had made a $4,000 con-
tibution to the campaign fund Of
BENJAMIN B. Odell, who was at that
time candidate for governor of New
York.
The man who tells the story here
is one Of the best known men in the
State, but he declines to have his
name used in the matter for the pres
ent. He is interested in the oil busi-
ness in Oklahoma.
"Mr. Barnesdale and I we're to-
gether one day and the conversation
turned to the franchise matter.
Barnesdale told me he had been do
ing business a good many years and
had learned to look ahead and pre-
pare for what he might wish to ac-
complish. Then he told me this story:
"Barnesdale and OdeA were rear
ed together and grew up together and
were fast friends. Barresdale got
into the oil business and made mil
lions Of dollars, while Odell entered
politics. Odell succeeded as a politi-
clan, but never accumulated much
money. Barnesdale applied to the
secretary of the interior for fran
chise for the Prairie Oil and Gas
company to do business in tie Terri
tory Of Oklahoma and he saw at once
that he would have great difficulty in
inducing Secretary Hitchcock to
grant it.
"Barnesdale went to New York
and called on Odell. Odell predicted
his own election, but said he was ham
pered for money to make the canvass.
Bamesdale told him not to worry
about the matter, for he had made
money and would be only too glad to
help him out. Barnesdale gave Odell
$4,000 as a contribution to his cam
paign fund.
"Odell was elected and inaugural
ed as governor Of New York. It was
probably a year after the contribu-
tion was made that Barnesdale found
that the Prairie Oil and Gas company
could not obtain it's franchise from
Secretary Hitchcock unless Presi-
dent Roosevelt were to order its is
suance. He then asked Odell to 60 to
Washington and lay the matter be-
fore the president. So he and
Barnesdale went to Washington and
called on President Roosevelt at the
White House.
"Odell explained to President
Roosevelt that Barnesdale was a very
god friend of his and that he lad
done him many great favors. Odell
asked the president to take care OF
the matter and to see ITO it that the
franchise was granted. Roosevelt call
ed Secretary Hitchcock to the White
House and instructed him to grant
the franchise asked for by Barnes
dale. Hitchcock objected strenuous
ly, but President Roosevelt told the
secretary that he wished the fran
chise granted, and gave positive Or
ders that it should be done.'

Taken unawares.

1t is likely that the most emtar-
raised man could be found in a Sixth
avenue store, says the New York
Times. He was a mild inoffensive
looking man He stood leaning over
the balcony that surrounds the first
floor OF the store, looking with inter-
est at the crowd below. Presently his
eye alighted on small boy who was
being rushed from counter to counter
in tow of very large woman. Just
as he looked down at the boy, the
boy looked up at him InstinctiveE
perceiving. with dlabolic instinct,
what would be his own youthful pro-
pensity If he occupied a similar point
of vantage, the boy struck a beseech-
ing attitude and called out in implor-
ing accents:
20. Mister. please. Mister, don't spit
on mel"
For a man with no intention of
splitting on that particular boy or any
one else the situation was certainly
awkward. and the man retired in red
faced confusion.
