Oklahoma Governor Cheered When
He Appears to Give Bond.
OFFERS NEW EXPLANATION NOW
Declares He Incurred Emnity of Cor
poraticns, President Roosevelt
and Government by Espous-
Ing Cause of Labr.

MUsKoGEE, okl, Feb. s.-Governor
Charles N. Haskell was given an ovation
here today when he arrived from the state
capital at Guthrie to make his appearance
in the federal court and sign bond under
the indictment returned by the grand jury
charging him, with other prominent Okla
homa men. with conspiracy to defraud the
government and the Creek Indians in the
matter of scheduling dummies" in the
Muskogee town lot distribution.
The demonstration was unusual. When
the governor, accompanied by Mrs. Haskell
State Auditor NJ. Z. Trapp and wife, Chair
man Love of the state corporation commits
sion, Adjutapt General Frank Canton and
other Guthde friends, alighted from his
train more than 1000 persons were at the
station with a brass band to greet him.
The appearance of the governor was the
signal for long and loud cheering. Gov
e;nor Haskell and his wife were conduced
TO an automobile that had been decorated
with American flags, and others cars were
filled with prominent local citizens and
the other members of mis- party. With the
band leading the way and playing Hail
to the Chief" and hundreds of citizens
bringing up the rear on foot. the governor
was escorted to a specially reserved suite
of rooms at Turner hotel. When the hotel
was reached the crowd clamored for a
speech. The governor responded from his
automobile.
Haskell Now Accuses Corporations.
In his speech Governor Haskell took a
new departure In offering an explanation
OF his indictment He declared that he had
incurred the enmity of the corporations
OF President Roosevelt and OF the govern
ment at Washington by championing the
| cause OF labor and by preventing the in
sertton OF clause in the Oklahoma consti-
tuition hostile 10 labor in case OF strikes
In the matter Of injunctions. He thanked
his old friends and neighbors for the ex.
preston of confidence in his innocence OF
the crime charged and declared he would
establish his innocence
Later Governor Haskell signed his bond
which already bore the signatures OF hun
| dreds OF Muskogee citizens. This act con.
sumed but a minute OF two.
Governor Haskell held an informal re-
ception al the hotel. shook hands witt
hundreds Of persons and spent the after
noon in conference with his attorneys. II,

IOWA MAN FOR SECRETARY
Edwin Perry of OskRlOOsR Elected By
Miners ON the Second
. Ballot.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb 5.-The re-
suit OF the second ballot taken yesterday
in the United Mine Workers convention for
the election OF a vice president and secre-
tary treasurer, announced today, showed
that E. S. Mccullough. Bay City, Mich,
was elected vice president over j, T.
Dempsey OF Scranton, Pa. Mccullough re-
ceived 1.46s votes and Dempsey LILO
Edward Perry OF OskaIoosa, Ia. was
elected secretary-tressurer. receiving i.a3
votes, while John Fahy of Pottsville, Pa.
his nearest rival, received 1907.
All efforts of the conservative element in
the convention to expedite business by ex-
cludng personal controversy between the
factional leaders seem futile. Early yester-
day a resolution wea adopted that all speak
ers must confine themselves strictly to the
subject in hand. but nevertheless the day
was one OF turmoil.
President Lewis charged Delegate Peter
Quinn of Illinois with having called him
liar The matter under discussion was Ahe
administration OF the strike in Alabama.
Lewis declared Quinn must modify his state
ment or he would have him put out Of the
hall. The stenographic record of the de-
bate was read. but the incident did not de-
velop further.
Inc duOpleu d IcSoidhiOh bhN'
the national executive board had exceeded
its authority in suspending the officers of
the Indiana district for disobeying an order
that the miners should return to work In
the Hudson mine pending the adjustment Of
a strike. This practically was reversal of
the conventions action OF a few days ago,
| in approving the course of President Lewis
| in this matter and indicates that the dele
gates will adopt new Interpretation of the
sections OF the constitution defining the au-
thority OF the national officers. 1t is evil
dent that there Is a strong current toward
restricting the alleged despotic powers of
the national administration.
/ Samuel Gompers' name was brought into
the discussion of the cause OF the failure
| Of the Alabama strife and he was charged
with opposing the miners IN the interest
f., of the state authorities. This was in line
with many allegations that the union lead
ers had ''gone into politics." and that the
Lewis administration was self-seeking.
1t is possible the convention will continue
| into next week.
