ANXIOUS TO AID
GOVERNOR HASKELL
Democrats And Republicans Alike
Would Help oklahoma's Chief
Executive Fight Enemies.

Guthrie, Ok, Feb. 11-Piled high
on the desk of Gov. G. N, Haskell
are letters and kilograms from ey'
cry section of the state ,aswell as
from many distant states, from dem
ocrats and republicans alike, all of
them expressive of the remarkable
sentiment that has been prompted
by the indictment of Governor
Haskell at Muskogee No incident
in Gov Haskell's administration has
stirred the state and brought to his
side friends from every political or
ganization. Offers of financial and
legal assistance in fighting his enc
mics come by every mail.
Several cities ana towns have al
ready taken action through mass
meetings. Woodward county resi-
dents started a subscription fund
which they will give to the governor
as token OF their estimation. At
Ardmore the people adopted resolu-
tions of confidence At Bristow res
olutions were passed endorsing the
action of the legislature in resent
ing the persecution of the governor
by the federal powers.
An instance Of the trend of senti-
ment is shown in the interview with
j. A. Bodowitz, a staunch republican
and merchant of Leon, Garter coun-
ty. The Ardmore Ardmorite quotes
him as follows
"Mr. Bodowitz said the governor
was far from being bad man, and
he wants the people to give no heed
to the in dictment by the federal
jury. Christ, he says. was indicted
while he was here, but the Judge
could find no wrong done and the
same thing will result in the trial
Of the Governor in the event the
case ever comes to trial"
Some of the most eminent men in
national life have wired or written
Gov Haskell rendered him sympathy
and Offering support of any charact-
er in fighting his battle.

AGENTS STEAL
VALUABLE TIMBER
Twenty-Six Lumbermen Are Indicted
BY Federal Grand Jury Setting
at Muskogee.

Muskogee, Okla, Feb. IL. - Indict-
ments against twenty-six representa-
tives of big corporations charging
them with stealing valuable timber
from segregated lands in Oklahoma
we're returned by the federal grand
jury here yesterday An additional
indictment was returned against one
person for impersonating a United
States officer in furtherance of the
scheme of the alleged timber thieves
The alleged thefts occurred chief
ly in the Chotaw Chichasaw and
Seminole nations
Judge Campbell issued strict ord
ers that no names of the indicted
persons be given out until after they
have been arrested and have either
been committed to Jail or have Civ
en- bonds. Tonight United States
Marshall Grant Victor dispatched ten
deputies on a south-bound train to
arrest the persons indicted, who re-
side chiefly in Leflore, McCurtain
and Chotaw counties. They will be
brought here Wednesday and requir-
ed to give bond.
For years the government has been
harrassed by timber thieves repres-
enting big corporations capitalized
in the east which have been stealing
from segregated Indian lands on the
Sugar Loaf, Backbone, Winding Stair
and other mountains millions Of dol
lars worth OF pine, walnut, oak and
other valuable timber. When the
government inspectors reported the
thefts it has been the custom of the
timber thieves to admit their guilt
and to pay certain amounts into the
treasury Of the Indian agency in lieu
of the value of the timber. Then the
thieves would promise not to com
nit any more depredations upon the
forests, only to forget their promise,
and there has been a continual re-
petition of the offense for years.
the United States district at
torney, w. j. Gregg, grew tired of
this way of handling the thieves and
the indictments returned today re-
suited. Government inspectors have
been deyoting many months to the
collection of evidence.

MISS ROSABEL MORRISON
AS A STAGE MANAGER

In this nation of ours, there is a
kingdom. Think of it. a despot in
our democratic midst. The kingdom
is governed by young woman, Miss
Rosabel Morrison and her subjects
are scene-shifters, carpenters, cleo
tricians, baggage jugglers, property
men, and the numerous actors and
singers that comprise the organiz-
alton that is presenting Morrison's
Faust on tour the present season.
When her father, Lewis Morrison,
first produced his dramatic version
of Faust" Miss Rosabel was mere
slip of a girI, who was taken back
of the scenes by her father and al
lowed to roam there at will. 1t is
said that she became very much in
terested in the different scenes as
they developed under the care of the
stage manager, and it is even related
of her, that once upon a time, when
one of the male members of the
company forgot his lines she called
her fathers attention to it, and sup
piled the missing speech AS Miss
Morrison grew older, her father gave
her the part of Marguerite" 1t is
a TACT that she knew every line,
every bit OF business and every piece
of scenery and property connected
with the production. 1t is also said
that one day Mr. Morrison was too
sick to attend rehearsals and his
daughter filled her fathers place so
capably as stage director that there
on the spot he abdicated in her fav
or. 1t naturally followed that the
past few years of his life Miss Rosa
bel staged annually the production
for her father Miss Morrison's care
full handling of Faust" the present
season, has resulted in giving to the
stage the weird spectacular and awe |
inspiring version of Goethe's famous
drama presented upon the English |
speaking stage.
