If ever I have an opportunity to even things up with Mr. Roosevelt after he has ceased to be President I shall do ao with satisfaction.

Mr. Hearst then said: "I say that these additional lettera do rot prove Mr. Foraker's Innocence, but on the contrary, they go to show that the services he rendered the Standard Oil must have been very effective to warrant so many heavy payments in so short a time. Puts Bryan In Predicament. "Mr. Roosevelt has repudiated his Re publican Standard Cll Senator. Mr. Bryan has not repudiated his Democratto Standard Oil platform-maker and treas urer nor has he repudiated Mr. Has kell's platform or Mr. Haskell's cam paign collections. Mr. Bryan has forced Mr. Haxkell'a resignation, but he says he still believes In his Innocence. If Mr. Bryan believes In Mr. Haskell's Inno cence and still forced his resignation, he acted in a most disloyal manner, and. If Mr. Bryan does not believe In Mr. Haskell's Innocence and sttll asserts his Innocence, be Is acting In a most dis creditable manner.

Government Scores Victory. While the opinion of the court will probably not be available for several days, the victory of the Government appeara to be a substantial one. Rep resentatives of the United States Dis trict Attorney's office and the Inter state Commerce Commission declared that this Is the first Instance since the enactment of the rate law in which it was alleged that the Commission had erred In a question of discretion and judgment, and the first time that there had been placed squarely before a court of this Jurisdiction the right of the Commission to make or correct rates under such circumstances. The decision was announced Imme diately upon the opening of the bench court. Judge Gilbert who, with Judges Morrow and Ross, occupied the bench, merely stated that the court would not grant the relief prayed for, and that the demurrer to the Injunction would be sustained by the unanimous de cision of the three Judges.

Ethel BarrymoreMakes Severe Comment. WOMEN SELFISH AND PIGGISH People Who Know Anything - - Shunned as Bores. UNFIT TO WED NOBLEMEN Brilliant Actress Says Lords Should Choose Brides in Middle Class. She Would Never Marry Millionaire's Son. ST. LOUIS, Sept. 30. Special.) Ethei Barrymore, whose entree Into the best of American and English society Is unques tioned, impulsively made the astonishing declaration in an Interview here today that the most useless, brainless and pur poseless order of being in the world con stitute the elite of society In this country. "There's no occasion for brain in our society, at least not in that of New York which I have seen, and consequently girls don't prepare themselves or cultivate their capabilities. They have enough for what Is demanded of them and they don't at tempt anything more difficult If you can Join gracefully in the inanities of an ordinary dinner table, you'll pass muster, but If you should happen to touch on any thing that the real men of our country are doing, you would be shunned as a frightful bore. ' Women Selfish and Piggish. , The women of wealth are merely self ish and piggish and are utterly content with comfortable living quarters, a good dinner, a little polo or bridge, or a rapid automobile : or two. They are empty shells and perfectly meaningless and use less to the country. "If a plague were to wipe out the entire society element of New York, the city would be none the worse for It nor would they be missed. They accomplish nothing and give nothing to the world." Middle Class Women Best. Miss Barrymore hastened to add that In declaring that American women are not intellectually equipped for noblemen's wives, she did not refer to the great mid dle class, the working or the accomplish ing class, but only to me society girls. "If the Lords and Dukes and Marquises would only choose their brides from the interesting middle class, they would not be disappointed, for these women are the fin est type ' that are made, but alas! they need the money too badly, poor things." Marry Millionairs's Son? No! "Oh, Lord forgive me, no," Miss Barry more exclal: ed with disgust, when the name of a certain, son of a New York capitalist was mentioned as being her shadow, following her about the country.

Stanford student voters are Indignant over what is believed by many to be an attempt to intimidate them from voting in the coming Presi dential election. About 300 students were allowed to register, but a great number of them have recently received letters from H. A, Pflster, clerk of Santa Clara i v o Vevr-. t 1 " V Ethel Barrymore, Maker of Bitter . Comment on American v Society W'onien. County, saying that their registration Is Illegal and that unless they voluntarily cancel it before October 3 they will be liable to prosecution under the Califor nia code. The men who have received these let ters are not only those students who have had their registration transferred from home in the customary way, but also many who live on the campus all the year around, are self-supporting and bona fide residents of the county. The student voters will seek competent legal advice tomorrow and learn where they stand. The belief that the attempt to throw out the student votes Is a political move Is strengthened by the fact that student registration was arbitrarily stopped in Palo Alto before the last legal day 'and that no explanation of this action was proferred.

WILL ACCEPT NO BLUFF Oklahoma Governor Accuses Presi dent of Falsehood, Uarns Him Not to Garble Records and Says He Favored Standard. GL'THRIE, Okla., Sept. 30. Governor Charles N. Haskell, ex-treasurer of the Democratic National Committee, has Tlt ten a letter to President Roosevelt. In which he says: "I lay aside my appeal (or justice to you. (or the reason that 1 am convinced that, no matter how dlsrnltied. great and honorable the office of President may be. the present clearly demonstrates the fact that the occupant of that office may be without fairness. Justice or integrity. "You have clearly demonstrated that, by hearsay, dodging and vacillating from ' one charge to another, by admitting that' various of your charges were without' foundation and therefore abandoned, and 1 yet without displaying the manhood to' apologise for the former untruthful state ment, you seek another Issue. It leads' me to assert that I shall seek justice' against you before the people and In a 1 court not subject to your domination. Frankly speaking. I could have arrived! at no othtr conclusion than that you. in' your reckless partisanship and disregard 1 of the rights of others, would pack a ' court or fix a Jury. Says lie Plays Petty Politics. "You said in your first statement that I had suits brought against me to re cover title to Creek Indian lands. I overwhelmed you on' that statement; adopting your usual policy, you flee from that statement without Just apology andi adopt the statement now that it wasi Government townslte lots that, yom charged me with being sued for. Yes, I I believe I am a defendant as to certain i Government townslte lots In one ofj nearly 11,000 suits that you have had1, brought against as many different- hon-t oraDle and highminded citizens of this, state during this Presidential campaign. , and you will not undertake to deny that petty politics for the purpose of Repub licanlslng about 20,000 Indian voters was your sole motive for having those suits brought; and I charge you with know ing that there has been no delay In the cases, except that occasioned by the ' court's deliberations, taken by himself ; as time he deemed necessary to consider1 whether or not there is any merit In1 the petition filed by your attorney. "People Will Be Disgusted." "You say that on the land question you: will see that I get a hearing In court. Yes, sir, I welcome your hearing. Call to your assistance all the power , that your high office commands, present . your case In any form you like. I am ready to meet It and before the conclu sion the people of America will be dis gusted that they ever elected you Presi dent of the United States. Prairie Oil Franchise. "Mr. Roosevelt, I have said that you were responsible for the granting of the franchise to the Prairie Oil & Gas Com pany before statehood, thereby creating : vested rights in that company that our ; state authority Is powerless to Interrupt. . You have tried In your last stat-; ement to evade this Issue. You: have tried to give your readers a wrong impression. In the office of the Interior Department the records will speak as between us. I say that you I granted that franchise. I say that you i did It at the solicitation of Senator i Depew and others and that within a few days thereafter, chiefly by subserlptlons . of Standard Oil men, according to Mr. Harriman, the sum of m000 In caso ! was added to your campaign fund. . ! Will Not Accept Blurt. "I challenge you to publish the records ; of the Interior Department on the sub- ' Ject of this franchise, and mark you now, Mr. Roosevelt, you must not garble the ' records nor suppress any of them. The ! public shall know the truth. It may have I been sufficient four years ago for you to ' wipe out the truthfil statement made by; Judge Parker by simply calling him a! liar, but that was four years ago. and ; your controversy now is with a man who ' will not accept a bluff in exchange for a j receipt in full settlement. In any char- ' acter of statement you make that I have' at any time during my entire life hadj any connection whatever or of any char-1 acter with the Standard Oil Company or; any of Its subsidiary companies, I am' ready to refute such statement.
