HASKELL AGAIN INDICTED
Grand Jury at Tulsa Returns Bills
Against Governor of Oklahoma.
FRAUD IN LAND DEAL CHARGED
Numerous witnesses from Ohio and
other states Testify Executive
Says He il BEING Per-
secuted.

TULSA, May 2s.-Indictments charging
fraud in the Muskogee town lot cases were
returned by the United states grand jury
tonight against Governor Charles N. Has
keIl. F. b. Sewers. W. 7. Hutchins. c. w.
Turner, A. Y. English and w. r. Eaton.
The accused men are charged with OBJ
tanning title from the government to town
lots in Muskogee by illegal methods. Bond
in each case was fixed at 5000 and was
promptly furnished. Arrangements for the
trials have not been made, but it is thought
the cases will be heard at an early date.
This is the second indictment for Gov
ernor Haskell in the Tulsa case. The first
bills were dismissed on a technicality. The
federal authorities at once began preparing
new evidence along the lines indicated by
the courts ruling.
The fight before the grand jury had many
sensational features. Numerous witnesses
from Ohio and elsewhere testified. Twenty
were on the stand today.
Governor Haskell in discussing his in
dictment tonight said:
LAS a result of four government attor-
neys and an army of secret service men
surrounding the grand jury and limiting
the testimony to just what suited them,
indictments have been secured against me.
1 am thoroughly satisfied that when the
whole facts are made known in the open
the government at Washington will not
approve Of these cases, which practically
all the people Of this locality know have
no merit and that there has been no viola
ton of law in any particular.
The later disclosures in this case will

the origin and intent connected with them.
The only embarrassment to me in the trial
is that many witnesses must be brought
from a great distance, and will result in
much other expense which, unfortunately,
1 have not the means to bear. However,
my numerous friends in Oklahoma, in
GLIDING many republicans. have gener-
ously shared my expense up to date. a
kindness that I have sincerely appreciated
and 1 only regret the expense of further
proceedings on that account"
Interest in the land fraud proceeding
was heightened by an order from Judge
Marshall citing William Stryker, editor of
the Tulsa Democrat, to appear before the
United States court at McAlester June II
to answer a charge Of contempt of court.
The order was issued on application of
District Attorney w. H. Gregg, who al
ieges tina stryker had been publishing i'm

New York Banker Says Former Presi-

Think.

NEW YORK, May 2S.-"President Taft
will voice into our avs what Roosevelt
voiced into the nations heart. Those,
therefore, who are so mistaken as to sup

Taft is not a reactionary, but progressive. :"
This prediction was made by Henry
Clews, the New York banker, in an
address at the service dedicatory of the
Roosevelt memorial window at the Metro
