ton to Quash the indictments against

conspiracy to defraud the government
and tahe Creek Indians i'm the Muscogee
town-lot cases. will be filed in the fed
eral court here next Monday, according
to a statement made tonight by Pliny l..
Sopei, attorney for Gov. Haskell.
Mr.. Soper intimated that the petition
to auash the indictments would contain
sensational charges against the govern
ment attorneys who secured the indict-
ments and the grand Jurors who returned
them.
THE government will not drop its cases
against Gov. Haskell and others involved
in the Muscogee town lot scandal. and
any idea that such action was even con
templated is absolutely absurd and unrea-
sonable."
This statement was made last night
by NJ L. Mott of Muscogee. Okla, attor
ney for the Creek Indian nation, and an
important factor in the prosecution OF
the Haskell cases. Mr.. Mott has been CO.

NOT AWARE Of LOVE AFFAIR
FRIEND OF HERMAN FLEIscH.
NER DISCOUNTS STORY.
Says, However, Young Man Got
Special Delivery Letter Just Be-
fore He Disappeared.

H. T. B. Jones OF 1882 G. street north
west. an employe OF the bureau OF intelli-
gence, Navy Department. and perhaps
the most intimate friend OF Herman
Fleischner. who mysteriously disappeared
from his boarding house, 1923 Vermont
avenue. last Wednesday and was found
yesterday in New York city. told a Star
reporter last night that he could not ac-
count for his friends sudden disappear
ance.
Mr.. Jones said that Mr.. Fleischner
had been irritable for several days pre-
vfouS to his disappearance. but he had
been in such moods before and Mr.
Jones thought nothing of IT.
He said that If his fellow-clerk was
in love with any young girl in this
city. or girl who had been a student In
school here during the past year he had
no knowledge of the fact. as Mr..
Fleischner had never spoken to him of
any particular girl.
He had called on several girls in this
city. but as far as his having been in
love with any of them, l think 1t was
simply a friendship between him and
any OF them. said Mr.. Jones.
ION the day that Mr.. Freischner dis
appeared he received special delivery
letter about noon. He did not tell me
anything about it. or let me see 1t, so
| am unable to say where Ii CAME FROM
vi WHETHER IL was written IN a FEMININE
or masculine hand Mr.. Jones continued
Saw Girls Picture.
When asked If he had ever visited Mr.
Fleischner's room. Mr.. Jones said he had
gone to his boarding house the week
previous to his disappearance and had
taken dinner with F'leischner. After din
ner Mr.. Jones went to his friends room
and remained for some time.
He stated he saw a number of photo
graphs of young girls on the bureau and
about the walls, but that Mr.. F1eischner
made no reference to any of them. Mr.
F. Fleischner had received letters from
Rochester, N. Y. and some place In New
Jersey at various times, but Mr.. Jones
said he does not know whom they were
from
MIR. Jones attributed Mr.. Fieischner' 3
condition to an injury which he received
last fall when he fell from a bicycle and
hurt his head.
He also said that Mr. Fleischner had
been operated on some time ago for ap-
pendicitis. and thought perhaps he might
be suffering from the injury or the re-
suit Of the operation.

BISHOP WILLIAMS RErRAcTs.
Apologies for Words Construed to
Refer to ]. D. Rockefeller. Jr.

NEW YORK, August 14.-In an open
letter which will be published here to-
morrow the RI. Rev. Charles D. Will
liams. Protestant Episcopal Bishop of
Michigan. apologies for a phrase deiiv-
cred here in his sermon on July Is at ST.
Bartholomew Church. and which was
generally construed at the time as re-
ferring TO John ID. Rockefeller, jr.
''One phrase used in the sermon, writ
ten and spoken in the heat OF indigna-
tion," writes the bishop. Il can now see
is in the nature of personal attack
the phrase "a young scion of wealth and
greed. possessed OF more dollars than
ideas That phrase 1 most sincerely re-
greet and apologize for. 1t was undigni-
fed and unworthy of the occasion as
well as unjust"
The bishop continues to explain that
he had no intention of attacking Mr.
Rockefeller personally. but that he did
then and does now take issue with him
on "a certain philosophy of the world
as contrasted with the gospel of Christ
/. e.. the philosophy OF those who ad-
vocate the suppression of the weak and
unfit In the interest of the development
of the strong and capable, as contrasted
with the teaching and practice OF Him
who came TO seek and to save the
lost"

CHARLESTON. S. c.. August Ia
Fifty-three hours overdue. the Clyde
steamship Arapahoe arrived at this port
this afternoon at o'clock in tow of
the tug Rescue. The many passengers
on board looked and talked as though
they had enjoyed a picnic instead Of
having drifted for hours on a vessel on
the broad Atlantic.
At $3.50 o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
when off Diamond shoals the steamship
broke her tail shaft and was rendered
powerless to proceed on her voyage
down the coast. She drifted inshore and
was finally anchored off the shoals.
where she remained until the tug Res
cue. summoned by wireless, arrived and
passed her a tow line. In the meantime
three other CLYDE steamers and other
vessels spoke the Arapahoe and offered
their services.
The passengers on board rather en-
ioyed the experience. They stuck the
company for a number of extra meals.
and they had some good sport fishing
from the side of the ship. The weather
remained clear and delightful. and ex-
cept at the moment of the accident the
passengers felt no anxiety whatever.
