BRYAN BRINGS MESSAGE
 OF GOOD CHEER TO SOUTH

He commented upon the usurpation of power by the "aristocratic party, the present administration. the head of which he referred to as delegating to himself all the authority of a czar in the manipulation of his high office. But change is surely, if slowly, com ing, he declared, and added that pros poets were brighter than ever for democratic victory in 1912
 MT. Bryan injected considerable hu- nor in his remarks by saying that he knew there were entirely too many republicans in the country for their own good, and for the countrys good, adding that he had been telling about it," for long time.
 In reply to question, MT. Bryan declined to say whether he expected to be called upon by his party again "to tell them about it. passing the query with a broad smile.

 A riot call brought a squad of police who were joined by several score of citizens and Morton was finally cor ralled on a porch At bay the negro continued to fire on his pursuers but his bullets went wild, while volley from the pursuers put an end to the battle. Four rounds of unspent car tridges were found in the pockets of the dead negro.

Mott Started ProceedInos.

St. Louis, February 4.-M L. Mott. at. torney for the Creek nation, asserted to- day that the land fraud investigation in Oklahoma was instituted as the result of evidence which he gathered in connection with civil suits for the recovery of lands alleged to have been fraudulently ob- tained from the Indians whom he repre- sents.
 AThe interest of the government in the present prosecutions is simply that of a trustee" said MT. Mott WHO with Chief Moty Tiger of the Creeks was in St. Louis for few hours en route to Wash ington, where they are to urge the enact- ment of certain legislation. ''The Creeks lost many acres by fraudulent trans actions. Because the government was trustee for the Indians it was charged with the duty of recovering these lands. But it was prevented from properly dis charging its duty as trustee by the frauds. Consequently the interest of the govern ment In the criminal prosecutions Is that of trustee in addition to it's usual police attitude.
 There is no truth in the report circu- lated by Governor Haskell CT his friends that William R. Hearst inspired the suits. was the man who inspired the prosecu- tions, and from the first l have been the most active in forwarding them.
 Tn an open letter to Governor Haskell last fall I charged him with the very frauds for which he is now indicted. He denied my charges and I wrote to Pres ident Roosevelt that l had based my as- sertions upon the sworn statement of 200 persons whom Haskell had used as dum- mics in his Transactions. These state ments were gathered in 32 civil suits which l had instituted on behalf of the Creek Indians to recover lands from which def dod nxxya at,fxt oix Of these suits were started before statehood was consummated and before Haskell was candidate for governor. As they were based upon the same allegations of fraud as the criminal proceedings, I can not see how Haskell can correctly ailege that they were inspired by Hearst or that there are any politics in them

Haskell Goes to Muskosee.

Guthrie, Okla, February 4-Friends of Gov. Charles N. Haskell denied today the truth of the rumors that the states chief executive would resign his office as a re- suit of the indictment peturned against him yesterday by the federal grand jury. Governor Haskell said today he had noth- ing further to say regarding the charges against him, other than to repeat his statement as made last night to the As- sociated Press. He expects to start to- night to Muskogee, where he will appear with the other indicted men on Friday in the United States court and formally offer bond. Many prominent men have offered to sign the governors bond. The indictments have created a sensation throughout the state.

When even strikebreakers, whom

Steel Company's car works at that
place. He is quoted in the press dis
patches to the effect that it was "a
slaughter house and a thousand
times worse' that men were work
ed at starvation wages, and treated
with incredible cruelty. "A pit of
infamy," says Father Toner, where
men are driven lower than the degree
dation of slaves, and compelled to
sacrifice their wives or daughters to
the villainous foremen and little
bosses to be allowed to work.
1t is disgrace to a civilized coun-
try. A man is given less considera-
ton than a dog, and dead bodies are
simply kicked aside while the men
are literally driven on to their
DEATH etc:
The men went out on strike. They
had their constitutional right to
work under conditions which they
thought unfair, or the other consti-
tutional right to quit and starve
quietly while other workers took
their places. Strange to say, they
exceeded these rights which they had
as citizens of a great, free common
wealth, and tried to keep the strike
breakers out by violence. State
troops were sent in, and the riot fol-
lowed. Eleven workingmen, strikers
and troopers were killed, and many
others were seriously injured
Mounted men charged the crowds;
heads were beaten with riot clubs;
strikers who resisted arrest were
manacled to horses and dragged
through the streets.
The men impute the trouble to the

insist that this system is perfectly

wages the next" but that the foreign
