UNFAIR TO GOV. HASKELL.

Frank :. Monnett. who was attorney
general OF Ohio and lost his job on ac-
count of prosecuting the Standard Oil
is making stump speeches in the IN
terest OF Mr. Bryan. He also stumped
Oklahoma for Governor Haskell. IL
there is a man in the United states
who hates the Standard Oil with deep
and undying hatred that man is Frank
s Monnett of Ohio.
Mr.. Hearst charges that Governor G
n. Haskell of oklahoma was accused
by Mr.. Monnett of an attempt at brlo-
erv in connection with the Standard Oil
case being prosecuted in the name of
the state of Ohio. Governor Haskell
insists that il must have been some
other Haskell. The charges have been
made before and were threshed out in
the Oklahoma campaign, when Mr..
Monnett stumped the new state In be-
half OF Governor Haskell.
That there was an attempt at brib-
cry is matter of record. At the time
the scandal first attracted the atten-
ton of the public il was believed Gov
ernor Haskell had some connection
with the attempt, but he was never
given a chance to clear his skirts in
open court. the Ohio court. presided
over by a Republican judge, declining
to hear evidence. Since the publication
OF the Hearst attack Governor Haskell
sent Mr. Monnett a telegram demand
ing an explanation. and received the
following self-explanatory telegram in
reply:

While carrying mass of stuff cal

report failed to take cogniZance OF this
feature of the case. showing the offer
of Governor Haskell to appear In the
supreme court of the state of Ohio

for an instant that Frank 5. Monnett
would support Haskell if he thought
him a Standard Oil striker.

.SOUTHERN'S CHIEFS
LOSE 10 PER CENT
OF THEIR SALARIES
President Finley and All
General Officers Vic
tins of RetrenCh-
ment.

Following closely on the reduction in
the clerk force the Southern railroad, as
predicted in The Times several weeks
ago. has made a 10 per cent reduction
in the salaries of all the officers OF the
corporation. This reduction begins
with President Finley, includes all the
vice presidents. general officers, and
chiefs of divisions. That it Will eyentu-
ally strike the clerks, If it has not al
ready done so, there is little doubt
President Finley viii not admit or
deny that the salaries Of the clerks are
to be reduced. He says the reduction
in the salaries Of the general officers
was determined upon after long DELHI
Grafton and serious thought.
Cut Was Predicted.
Early in December. when more than
loo employees OF the Southern were let
out. il was rumored that "a large slice
would be taken of each and every sal
airy paid by the railroad corporation
This was vigorously denied by Southern
officers. but the order issued yesterday
confirms the report The order follows:
President Finley, Of the Southern
Railway Company. stated this after
noon that, in view Of the falling off in
business, and the decrease in revenues,
the management of the Southern Rail-
way Company has determined, as a
steD in it's program of reducing eN-
penses, TO put into effect, after Febru-
airy l. 1908, a reduction of 10 per cent in
the pay OF the president vice pTesi-
dents. and the general officers, and
their Office forces
Officers Are Silent.
No officers OF the Southern would
discuss the order today or last night.
1t was explained that the order spoke
for itself. and nothing would be added
or taken from it,
The reduction is believed to he due TO
the railroad legislation recently enacted
In Virginia Georgia, and Alabama de-
crease of freight and passenger trainc
in the South and the large amounts
OF interest paid on money borrowed 10
imprON z the road.
