to Roosevelt's Letter
Dealing With Four Spe
cific Charges: That the
Governor is Subservient
to Standard Oil; That he
Voted a Child Labor
Bill; That he Dealt Ex
tensively in Creek In
dian Lands, and That he
had Allowed Politics to
Dominate Him in The
Removal of Members of
the Faculty of the State
University.
Special to the Akgcs.
Guthrie, Okl Sept. 24 Governor
Charles N. Haskell tonight issued a
statement to tbe Associated Press in
reply to President Roosevelt's letter to
William J. Bryan dealing with lour
specific charges against Mr. Haskell,
namely; that ho is subservient to Stan
ard Oil; that he voted a child labor
bill, that be -dealt extensively in Creek
Indian lands, and that he had allowed
politics to dominate him in the re
moval i members of the faculty of the
State University and the appointment
f others to succeed them.

"I eay the, .president fcknows new

that he tries to brush itaside without
doing one .candid justice. Were I to
adept the character of language so
commonly used by tho President 1.
would epell it in lewer words than j
'falsehood.""
"Mr- Roosevelt, I hope to speak in
Ohio soon. May I hope to divide the
time with earn partisan of yours or
Prince William who will defend your
action in this instance?
"President Roosevelt comes to Okla
homa and finds a substitute tor his
Ohio failure, .does he, in the ease of tho
State against the Prairie Oil and Gas
Company, which he complains I com
pelled to be dismissed?
"Yes, I did have it dismissed. We
all know that tiie Prairie Company is
a Standard Oil offspring, and don't
forget tho President claims to have
known this also, and I charge that the
political allies Hearst and Roosevelt,
both know that I acted properly.
"First, the Prairie Oil Company got
Its franchise in our State not from mo,
but from Roosevelt's Secretary of In
terior, long before Statehood began
and had its main lino, built and oper
ating and Congress in our Statehood
bill was careful to declarelithat our
new State when organized must re
pect all such vested rights and exist
ing franchises. That was all I did, and
' the Federal courts stood ready to call
me down if I violated the Roosevelt
territorial franchise.
"Now, Mr. President, why did your
Secretary of Interiorgrant what you
knew to be a Standard . Oil pipe line
franchise in our then helpless territory
and fasten it in our new State by a per
manent Statehood bill? Will Mr, Hearst
or tho Presidant please answer? I will
also remind the President that; the
company tried to enlargetits rights so
as to include a gas;aswolla as an oil
Charp Fully
plained.
privilege. Mr. President, your Secre
tary of Interior tried to help the Stand
ard Oil gas privileges against my pro
test by actually granting them a fran
chise to lay an interstate gas line also.
I notified the secretary that with state
hood your days of giving valuable
franchises in our state had passed and
I would resist laying the pipe line
only after you yielded and cancelled
your unlawful act.
I again assert that my aet in that
caso was not only required oy wnat
federal authority had been unable to
do, but that the public interest of our
own people, based on conditions grow
ing out of your original special favor
to the Standard Oil Company in grant
ing that franchise, eequircd of me to
pursue that policy in the case you
crtiicise.
CHILD LABOR BILL.
"The President comes to the local af
fairs of our State and assails me for ve
toing a child labor bill.
"True. I did so, simply because the
bill went too far and included things
not desired by our people. Union labor
representatives approved my veto. I
hope the President will survive this
veto of a loeal bill and permit us to run
ear local affairs.
THE TJNIVKRS1TY AFFAIR.
"The President complains that we
removed certain professors from our
State University, our three State nor
mal schools and preparatory schools in
violation of civil service rules. That is,
the President, in his usual impetuosity
and reckless disregard of others mis
states the facts. Less than one-filth of
the faculties are changed. All changes
were for good cause othor than politics
and done by boards of regents and not
by the Governor.
CREEK INDUS LANDS.
"The President complains that there
are several suits pending against m o to
reefaim Creek Indian land. The presi
dent should have gonefurtber and said
that I was not a deader in Indian lands
and -only cane in as a subsequent pur

dred and eighteen years after the death
of Benjamin Franklin the city of Bos

handsome bequest left by tho far-
sighted statesman-philosopher in lov
ing remembrance of the city of his

century, during which time the modest
bequest of Franklin has grown to large
proportions, the Franklin Union has
become an accomplished fact. Tho
handsome building erected at the cor
ner of Berkeley and Appleton streets-,
and which will stand for years to come
as a permanent memorial to the prac
tical wisdom of the donor, was dedi
cated this afternoon with interesting
exorcises.
The clause in Benjamin Fraitklin's
will which resulted in tbe erection of
the Franklin Union was as follows:

der to remain at interest for another
century and then to bo divided between
the cityf and State. The first hundred
years passed, and twenty-five more
were consumed in debate as te details
of management and expenditure. At
the end of that time the 100-131,
amounting to about $400,000, was used
to build the handsome structure dedi
cated today, and to the amount has
been added by Andrew Carnegie an
equal sum as endowment.
The building is a handsome fireproof
structure of five stories. Class rooms
are distiibuted throughout the build
ing on every floor, and there are large
draughting rooms, studies, laboratories
and special lecture rooms for ohemistry
and physics. On the first floor are
grouped the lobby or exhibition

offices of administration, tho library
and the large picture hall, seating near
ly 1,000 persons, and designed carefully
and scientifically to meet every re

acoustics, light and convenience.
The lobby or exhibition hall is about
fifty feet square and ts treated in
wrought iren and rare marbles. Tho
frieze consists of a series of panels each
containing a painting to illustrate a
trait of Franklin's many-sided char
acter. Each group is flanked by
smaller panels bearing inscriptions
from "Poor Richard's Almanac." The
paintings are arranged chronological! v

(By Special Wire to tho Anatrs.)
New York, Sept. 25 The setting of
the sun this evening ushers in the eel
ebration of Bosh Hashonah, or the
Festival of New Year. This is the be
ginning of the year 5669 of the Ho
braio calendar, which is traditionally
supposed to count from the creation of
the world.
Tho festival is observed by the re
formed and orthodox alike, except
that the former observe one and the
latter two days.
It is a season of rejoicing, and many
families become reunited during its
celebratiou.
While New Year's day services are
of a solemn character, as are the 10
days that follow, the most solemn day
of the year is Yom Kippur, or the Day
of Atonement, which will come as a
olimax to the ten days of penitence.
elaborate preparations tor tho New
Year and other holiday services have
been made by the Jewish congrega
tions throughout the metropolis. In
addition to the regularly established
congregations worshiping all the year
round in places of worship owned or
regularly rented by them-, many im
provised synagogues are needed for
the New Year services because ot the
great number ot Jews, on the lower
East Side especially, wIk i not be
long to any established "igregation,
but who desire to take rart in the cel
ebration of tb fesmai. Thereiore
every available bail i uud place of pub
