HASKELL CONDUCTING OWN
DEFENSE IN FEDERAL COURT
Ex- Governor Takes Oath Required to Practice
in Federal Court---Plaintifs Introduce Note
and Rest Case---Defense Will Contend
That Note is Invalid on Account of
NOn-FuIflIment of Agreement

OvershadoYing all else, in the mat
ter of public interest in the proceed
ings of the federal court here is the
trial today of the suit of the Column
bus Trust company, of Columbus, o.,
VS.. Ex-Governor Charles N. Haskell,
on note approximating $4,000, drawn
in favor of the Columbus Trust COM
pany and signed by the ex-governor
and his wife.
When this case was called this morn
ing, Haskell asked to take the oath re-
quired as an attorney to practice in
the United States court for this dis
trict. Mr.. Haskell is a member of the
state bar, but since statehood had not
been admitted to practice in the fed
eral courts until today Judge Camp
bell administered the oath.
The plaintiffs in this suit are rep
resented by Preston C. West, of Mus
kogee as leading counsel and Attor-
ney Griffith, of Columbus, O., as as
sociate counsel. Mr.. West made the
opening statement for the plaintiffs
and Mr.. Haskell made the opening
statement in his own defense.
The only evidence introduced by the
plaintiffs was the note signed by Mr..
and Mrs. Haskell. The plaintiffs then
rested the case and the court adjourn
ed for the noon recess.
This afternoon Ex-Governor Haskell
and his attorneys Leith, Baker & Per
sci, of Muskogee and James S. Daven-
port, of Vinita, will attempt to prove
the contention of Mr. Haskell in his
opening statement, in which he con-
tends that the note is not a just debt,
inasmuch as the agreement, under
which the note was given, was not
complied with.
Mr.. Haskell in his opening statement
said that originally he and Mrs. Has
kell had signed a note in favor of the
trust company for $4,000, with which
they paid for Mrs. Haskell's stock in
the Indianola Construction company
Later he stated that this note was re-
duced to $4,000 Then came the de-
mand from the National Contracting
for an assessment of approximately
o.
company, which at the time was con-

TELEGRAPH WAR OF WORDS
SEQUEL TO MAGAZINE FIGHT
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
Washington, d. C., Mar. S.-A sequel
to the recent fight in congress over the
matter Of increased postage on mag.
azines developed in the house today
when former Representative Calder
head of Kansas. showed the president
exchange kilograms between himself
and Governor Stubbs of Kansas. Gov
ernor Stubs telegram said;
Il am advised upon excellent auth
ority that the proposed increase on
second class postage is aimed direct
ly at the progressive magazines and
that the rates proposed will practical
ly ruin every popular periodical in the
county and deprive the people of the
only free press"
Calderhead's reply follows:
Dear Governor: Message at hand
and as usual you are wrong. Con
gress is not an enemy of the people,
and the press is not in danger. Wish
you would get some correct informa-
tion."

When this demand was made Mr.. Has
kell says it was understood that each
of the stockholders should pay a pro-
portionment assessment. Accordingly
he paid his note to the trust company
for the assessment Now he contends
that other stockholders, including the
manager and treasurer of the trust
company, had never paid any assess
ment, and that by reason thereof the
defendants held that the note was not
valid debt and refused to pay
In the opening statement Mr.. Has
KEEL gave no indication of how the de
tense would attempt to prove it's con
tention.
1t is expected that the testimony in
this case will all be in this afternoon

Practically the entire force OF
twenty thousand men is now en- route
to the frontier. The troops are equip
ped with ball cartridges although it is
the inevitable practice to supply them
with blank ammunition for peaceful
maneuvers. Notwithstanding this the
officials at Washington are still main
tanning that the movement is merely
plan of practice to determine the
efficiency of the army in mobilizing on
short notice.
Leavenworth, Kans., Mar. S.-All
local preliminary arrangements are
completed for the movement of twelve
hundred troops, in the thirteenth in
fantry and third battalion of engineers,
ordered to San Antonio. The officers
are unable to state just when the
troops would entrain. 1t was expected
however, that they would leave late
this afternoon.
Colonel Louhbourgh, in command of
the post here, said this afternoon that
he expected to have five trains of sol
diers and equipments speeding south
ward before midnight. The first de-
tachment it is believed will depart
about five o'clock this afternoon. The
soldiers do not seem to believe the
progress will stop at the border. "On
to Mexico seems to be the spirit. The
Rock Island pushed the first of the
fiat cars into the loading grounds at
eleven o'clock today and the troops
began hustling the equipment aboard.
Behind the barracks men are firing at
targets testing their rifles. Buglers
made the grounds resound, anvils
clinked in the post smithier as horses
were reshod as for the field. AS fast
as the equipment cars arrived new
companies went to work loading The
Rock Island is rushing transportation
equipment to the loading yards as fast
as it can be collected.
Quartermaster Sergeant Fred Sny-
der, of the thirteenth infantry, order
to San Antonio, shot and killed him
self today, Immediately after bidding
farewell to his sweetheart, Kansas
City girl. He was sitting on the bunk
in his quarters when he fired the fatal
bullet No cause except that he is
respondent over the prospect of being
separated from the girl. Lieutenant
Snyder's company said his accounts
were in good shape and that he was
an excellent soldier.
