HASKELL GIVES
OUT A LETTER
GIVES HIS SIDE or THE PRAIRIE
OIL PIPE LINE CONTROVERSY.

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 26.-Governor
marels N. Haskell. passing through
this city tonight on his way from Chi
eago to Guthrie. gave to the Associated
Press a letter addressed to President
Roosevelt defending his attitude to-
ward the Prairie Oil and Gas company
and assailing the president fer grant
ing before statehood q franchise in the
indian Territory for the Standard Oil
pipe lines at the request of Senator
IChauncey M. Depew.
You know" writes Haskell, that
Senator Depew was the greatest
Standard Oil agent In the senate
Governor Haskell's letter says:
"1n regard to the Prairie OIL and
Gas company oil pipe line franchise
In Oklahoma It is said that the secre-
tary Of the interior granted this fran
chise before statehood; that the fed
eral court would prevent our state
interference and that we are com.
PEELED to treat 1t as we find the grant
and that hence ! properly dismissed
the suit brought by our attorney gen.
eral, without by approval.
'~Ex-Secretary Hitchcock says he
did not grant any franchise. Secre-
tary Garfield says he did, but that
the states power is not in any way
limited to control it and that am
quibbling. The press reports this morn
ing say that Hitchcock in hearing
that company's application for fran.
chise In the year 1904 (three years
before statehood) hesitated granting
1t Whereupon Senator Depew and
others went over Hitchcock's head to
you, Mr.. President, and got an order
to the secretary to make the grant
Under this grant, says MI. Haskell,
the Prairie Oil and Gas company laid
a pipe line. It vas a foreign corpora,
ton. When It wanted to lay q new
pipe line 1t could wait, but the land
owners, the merchants and the oil
producers could not. They appealed
to him and he stopped the attorney

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 26.-Thomas
u. Hisgen, candidate Of the Independ-
party addressed a large crowd
in Turner hall here tonight. During
the day he was rendered a luncheon
BY the city club, made up Of business
men, was taken on an automobile trip
about the city and Just after the even
Ing meeting held 9 reception ia the
parlors Of the Baltimore hotel.
Mr.. sHisgen spoke of the resigna-
ton Of Colonel Dupont and Charles
N. Haskell, anddeclared that IN these
cases resignation Is equivalent to CON
lfession. He declared that MI. Bryan
had known Of the charges against
Haskell months ago and he spoke Of
the Democratic candidate as a polit-
ical faker, saying:
II Bryan ID sincere let him get
right withsthe people" In the course
OF his speech Mr.. Hisgen said:
HSince the beginning OF the indie
%pendence party campaign Mr.. Hearst.
myself and other speakers have been
trying to impress upon the minds Of
people that there Is an urgent de-
smand for . new party. We have ad-
vocated this because Of the fact that
the two old parties have fallen into
the control Of the same public, the
corporate wealth Of the country.
To-day the new Independence par
sty IN its first national battle and with
in q few weeks has established the
truth Of our assertions In . way that
has startled the country and checked
the leaders Of the two old parties.
Daniel Webster once declared a
suicide is confession, in his argu-
ments in connection with q murder
case he was trying. II he were living
today and taken part in q national
campaign he would be compelled to
assert that resignation Is confession.
THE independence party and MI.
Hearst charged Senator Foraker with
being a tool Of the Standard Oil trust.
Foraker has confessed and has prac-
tically stepped down and out Of the
grand old party.
"The independence party, through
its speakers charged the Republican
party with having put at the head OF
its speakers bureau, T. G. Dupont,
one Of the owners Of the powder trust.
which the government Is now fighting.
Dupont did not, Of course, attempt to
deny this and today you can read his
resignation in the newspapers as q
conspicuous figure in the Taft cam
paign. .a5 +.
$50 much for the Republican party
at this time. We charge that 1t is
being run by the trusts and we claim
that we have made good the charge.
I'VE have the same charge against
the Democratic party, and showed
that Charles N. Haskell, treasurer Of
the Democratic national committee
was connected with the Standard Oil
company as one Of the powerful po-
iitical friends OF this great corpora
tion. Haskell denied 1t and Bryan
rushed to the support Of his friend.
To-day you may read Of Haskell's
resignation and his resignation Is .
confession. because he hung on be-
fore as long as he could without being
kicked out BY the decent Democrats
who still believe that they ear recon
struct the old party"

pressed with the clean-cut work Of

tain Chance selected Ruelbach to pitch
the first game with Killing behind the

choice was fully proven by the 5 to o
shut out scored by Reulbach, and.
Chance sent the same battery back to
work in the second game.
Reulbach did not seem to be q bit
tired. He played his position SO effec-
lively that a three to nothing shut out
was the result. Superb baseball in

itors and the only one to make a mis-
play was Reulbach in the second CON

ing the city for some trace of the man
who committed what now appears to be
one of the most battling crimes in the
city's criminal history. His victim, the
young woman whose body was found
last night in a padlocked and barricad-
ed apartment at 3137 East Eleventh
street, has not yet been identified and
a thorough search of the rooms reveal
ed nothing which will aid the police in
their task Every distinguishing mark
had been removed from the womans
clothing and pictures had been cut from
their frames and burned, together with
several pieces of paper which may have
borne addresses.
On every hand there was to be found
evidence of the crafty care used by the
murderer to battle pursuit.
The discovery of the crime came
about through the anxiety of the jani
tress of the f1athouse to collect rent for
the apartment nearly two weeks over
due The man and woman who occu-

pied the rooms more than two months
had paid promptly up to the first of the
present month, but since that time the
apartment had been closed, the door
locked with a paddock on the outside
and neither the man nor the woman
had been seen. Last night the janitress
decided to enter the apartment to make
sure the tenants had not removed their
trunks without her knowledge and the
police were called to assist her in open
ing the door. When an entrance was
forced the woman's body. with the head
almost severed, was lying on the blood
soaked bed. The room was in con-
fusion. Broken chairs were scattered
about and wearing apparel which had
been removed from an open trunk was
strewn about the room. Under the wo-
mans body lay razor. It's edge hack
ed and broken. The condition of the
body indicated that the woman had
been dead not less than two weeks. On
the doorknob and on the sheets were
the finger prints of the murderer.

it bears.
