HE BLAMES HEARST.
Haskell Says Editor Is Responsible for
Town Lot Investigation.

Muskogee, Okla, Jan. 26.-With the
sitting of the federal grand jury here
today to investigate the alleged town
lot fraud, Muskogee becomes the cyno-
sure of the eyes of half a nation.
That the government regards the mat
ter of great import is evidenced by
the fact that the jury is closely watch
ed and guarded by secret service men
-rumor has it that there is man for
every juror. Additional interest is
AIDED to the case by reason of the inn
plication of the governor. Charles N.
Haskell, in the Investigation. He in
turn, declares the entire matter is due
to the enmity of William r. Hearst.
This ramiflcation of the case is an
echo of the presidential campaign of
last year.
In the years 1900 and 1901 a large
number of lots were disposed of to
purchasers who registered their names
with the government in much the same
manner as when land is HON
ed" Federal. authorities now claim
that interruptions men scheduled the
names of a number of dummies" and
thus obtained titles to a number of
lots when they were entitled to but
one. In some cases, it is claimed, this
was done without the knowledge of the
dummy and in others the dummy
was a mere figurehead and surrender
ed his title gratuitously or for small
compensation. About two hundred
and fifty of these persons whose names
are said to have been used in this man
poenaed by the governmet from Texas,
Ohio, West Virginia, Tennessee, Michi-
gan PENNSYLVANIA, Missouri, Virginia
and Arkansas. They are expected to
testify as to what part they had in the
registering of their names in applying
for land.
1t is confidently expected by many
that several men. thigh up in local
affairs will be hit by the investigation.
The IndianoIa Contracting company,
of which Governor Haskell is presi-
dent, owns many town lats. These lots
embrace from one-fourth of an acre
to four acres.
The grand jury today began it's seS-
sions in the hospital rooms in the fed
eraI Jail. In his instructions to the
jury United States District Judge
Ralph E Campbell charged them to
investigate the evidence and perform
their duty without fear or favor. His
charge was very brief, its delivery
consuming but two minutes time.
Among the witnesses who have ar
rived in Muskogee to testify before the
grand jury are the following:
From Danville. Va: L. B. Conway,
proprietor of cotton mills; H. L. Boat
right, tobacco merchant; A. M. Aiken,
Judge of corporation court; Thomas
Hamlin prosecuting attorney; James L.
Pritchett. owner of flour mills; W. W.
Williamson. president Union Exchange
bank. and E. E. Bouldin, attorney:
From Hastings, Mich: William Cook
newspaper man; A. A. Anderson, cash
Ter of bank; A. E. Renkes, furniture
dealer. AIonzo E. Kenaston, attorney;
William w Clark, merchant: William
n. Chidester assistant postmaster;
Charles F. Fields. newspaper man;
T.ulIe Waters vice president of a
bank and Judge Clement Smith.

said further:
Every once in a while we hear a
general clamor from the consumers
about the high price and scarcity of
meat. AS matter of fact meat is not

too many Americans want only the

For many years he was a glass
blower and an investigation after his
death showed an accumulation of fine
particles of glass which he evidently
had been swallowing during all the
years he was employed about the fac
tory. He drank a great deal of water
and it is supposed this carried the
glass into his system.
