4 Guthrie, Okla, Oct. Sin an open

welt today. Governor G. N. Haskell
asks the president to explain certain
transactions in connection with the
granting OF q lease 5on six hundred
and eighty thousand acres Of Usage
Indian lands to the Prairie OIL and

nor Haskell says In part:
ssIn recent communication re-
quested OF YOU concerning the
granting Of a lease in July, 1906, to
the Indian Territory Illuminating
OH company, a Standard OIL subord-
mate. on CSC. 600 acres Of land be-
longing to the Usage Indian tribe in
this state. III otherwise answering
that communication you entirely omit
this important question. From care
full Investigation, however, the de
tails appear to me as Follows: In
1896 q lease was made by Washing
ton authorities to one, Edwin B.
Foster, covering practically the en-
tire Usage nation. At this time
there was no oil production or de-
velopment. probably nearer than tine
state of Indiana. SO that the lease
was made for SO long a period as ten
years. It gave time for development.
Foster transferred his rights to the
above named company.
Continuing. Governor Haskell

regulations promulg gated by congresa

Macon, MO-, Oct. 5.-Judge Taft
made three speeches in Kansas and
thirteen In Missouri today. Eight OF
the stops in the aShow Me State
were arranged today upon urgent
demands from twons through which
the special was to have passed with
out stopping. This resulted in delay
ing the Taft special more than an
hour and the big audience at this
place had to wait until nearly 10
o'clock for the appearance of the
candidate. Speaking of his recep-
ton at several stops, Mr.. Taft
said: % ~ s-y..s
'.It is augury that. Missouri is go

election that she does not intend to
remain mysterious stranger, but
will become e, regular resident

He told the Missourians about the
Bryan proposition with respect to
the trusts; that the Nebraskan
would destroy them by putting trust
made articles on the free list and
by making law prohibiting the trusts
from manufacturing or controlling
more than so percent of any article
While such a law, Mr.. Taft believed,
would be very difficult to meet, he
predicted that its enforcement
be most disastrous. 2'.E5s 80

Says President Is a Hired
Man-..SO Do Not Be-
IieYe Ii

Bryan was received tonight in de-
lirum of enthusiasm. His arrival
from Lincoln shortly before nine
o'clock in special trolly car, ac-
companied by one hundred members
Of the Lincoln home guards, was a
signal for great demonstrations.
The carriage In which he rode to
the city park where he spoke to q
large audience, composed mostly Of
5Workmen in railroad shops, ran the
gauntlet of red Are and Roman cand-
les, while throngs on the sidewalks
vociferously cheered him. His re.
marks dwelt mainly on the. subject
or campaign publicity, election Of
senators by direct vote Of the people
and the labor planks in the Den
yer platform. He was unsparing IN
his attacks on Speaker Cannon, Mr..
Sherman. the Republican vice presi-
Dental candidate and Mr.. Taft. s
4 The first reference to criticism
that heretofore had been made upon
him for travelling over the country
delivering speeches was made. Mr.
Bryan declared that he had always
believed 1t was perfectly proper to
speak to those who are to vote. He
spoke Of the fact that twelve years
ago he had said that the presiden,
was only hired man employed by
the people to do what they wanted
a president to do and that although
he was criticized by the New York
papers for bringing the high Office
Of president down to the level Of q
hired man, he had decided not t
take the statement back until in his
opinion every public official is a mir
ed man. United States senators
fare hired men," he declared amid
Applause, although many OF them d.
not think SO. Il

SCRAMBLE
The European Powers will
Get All They Can Out of
Present Situation .:-1uf.
. key Helpless

London, Eng, Oct. SIN the anc-
lent capital of Trnoyo the independ-
ence OF Bulgaria was proclaimed to-
day, with the ear of Bulgaria as
ruler. The car Of Bulgaria is rec
ognized to be more than car of Bull
garia because it is a distinct intima-
ton that he regards mis- country as
high sovereign over all people Of that
blood in the east. =. -
, Within a day or two Austria-Hun-
garia, which was working with
Prince Ferdinand In this preconcert-
ed plan, will proclaim the new stat
ute of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
This has been stirring the whole of
Europe more deeply than any similar
question in the memory of the pres
emit generation.
Does it mean war;. From all the
capitals come representatives indicat-
ing that it means, first of all, another
European congress of signers of
treaty of Berlin to consider the sit
.uation and probably to revise the
treaty. Turkey caught in moment
of weakness is the victim of this sit
uation and while some internal ami
mosities have been stirred up,
probably no power is willing to
make war. Reports from the eman-
cipated Turkish press to London in
dictate that the ssyoung Turks" will
swallow this bitter pill as best they
can, and if they do, naturally the
Bulgarians, while willing and eager
for war, will have no cause on which
to base the beginning Of hostility.
From the, British standpoint the
whole affair has been surprise and
more than q surprise, because for
the first time in years the British
government felt itself, with appar-
emily perfect !, understanding with
France and Russia and complete
friendship with Italy, to. fbe in po-
sition where it dominated European
politics, reserving out of this con
sideration a most open enmity be
tween itself and Germany. Prob
ably never in the history of Europe
have politics taken such amazingly
kaleidoscope revolutions. asbt during
the past week. II
Entangling situations will come
| when signatories of the Berlin
treaty meet to consider what action
shall be taken regarding violations
of the treaty.
Great Britain tonight served no.
tice that 1t does not recognize the
fright of any of the parties to this
treaty to violate its provisions with.
out the consent Of others. The con
ference will resolve itself into 9
scramble among the powers to gel
what is termed In European politics
compromising advantages which
Austria. backed by Germany, has al
ready obtained.
