DEXVER, Sept. SO. In a speech con
suming less than SO minutes. W. R.
Hearst, chairman of the Independence
party National committee. In Denver to
night renewed his charges against Sena
tor Foraker. of Ohio, and Governor
Charles N. Haskell, of Oklahoma, and
read additional lettera and affidavits
bearing upon the charge Two letters
addressed to Mr. Foraker and signed by
John D. Archbold. In which were en
closed certificates of deposit for 5000
and lin.oco. respectively, each bearing
date of lStw. were read.
In this connection Mr. Hearst referred
to the statement of Mr. Foraker that
he (Hearst) had not made public any of
the letters which would prove Mr. For
aker's Innocence. "I have no such let
ters In my large collection. he said.
Iroof of Kninitr to Inlons.
In support of his statement that Mr.
Haskell was a member of the Citizens'
Alliance of Muskogee. Okla.. Mr. Hearst
read an affidavit dated September 21,
irig. and signed Morgan Carroway, of
Muskogee, who declares that he was sec
retary of the alliance and had received
money for dues from Mr. Haskell, and
had frequently talked of policies to be
pursued by the alliance with reference to
organized labor. A letter from John Far
rell. of Muskogee, was also read, which
siij that the signer was seleuted as
setgeant at arms of the alliance through
the Influence of Mr. Haskell.
Mr. Hearst paid his respects to Presi
dent Roosevelt and Mr. Bryan and com
pared the action of the President In re
pudiating Mr. Foraker with that of Mr.
Bryan, who. he said, was willing to take
the responsibility of Mr. Haskell's con
nection with the Democratic National
committee.
"Well, let him take the responsibility,"
he continued.
ft I II Hates Roosevelt.
Resuming his comments on Mr. Roose
velt Mr. Hearst said It was not true that
he and the President "had altered our
opinions of each other and are now work
ing hand In hand," aa the Democrats
charge. He continued:
"I dislike Mr. Roosevelt personally and
have every reason to dislike him. When
I was running for Governor of New York
Mr. Roosevelt sent his present mouth
piece. Tweed's ex-defender, into New
.York to say what was false about me
ami hat Mr. Roosevelt knew to be false.
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. But while Mr. Roosevelt Is
PresWont of the Vnlted States my atti
tude toward him Is that of any loyal
citizen of the Vnlted States."
Mr. Hearst denied that he was trying
to elect Mr. Taft, a statement he cred
ited to Mr. Bryan.
OH Money for Foraker.
In concluding his remarks, Mr. Hearst
read the following letter:

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.
"Mr. Bryan says that Mr. Haskell
ought to hare a healing in court. I say
that he ought to have several hearings
la court."

Ennls Case at Pocatello Counterpart
of Thaw Case.
POCATELLO. Idaho. Sept. 30. (Spe
cial.) "Dementia Americana," or emo
tional insanity, will be the defense of
John Ennls, now on trial In the District
Court In this city before Judge Alfred
Budge for the murder of his old friend,
Evan Davles. The killing occurred In
the Short Line blacksmith shop here on
the morning of July a.
Ennii' lS-year-6ld daughter on the after
noon preceding the crime gave birth to an
illegitimate child. She told the mother
that Evan Davles. a friend of the family
for SO yearSj was the author of her ruin.
Mrs. Ennis communicated this statemont
to her husband, who. after spending -a
sleepless night, entered the railroad black
smith shop at about 9:30 o'clock next
morning, approached Davles from behind,
and, without warning, shot him through
the left temple. Death was Instantaneous.
Ennls gave himself up. saying to ar
resting officers that Davles had ruined
his daughter. His attorneys are endeavor
ing to prove that Ennls was laboring un
der emotional insanity at the time of the
firing of the fatal shot. This case Is al
most the counterpart of the Thaw case.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. SO. Tn sustain
ing a demurrer by the Government to an
application for an injunction filed by the
Southern Pacific Company seeking to re
strain the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion from establishing a rate upon lumber
between Oregon and California, the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals
today rendered a decision which upholds
the authority of the Commission to fix
freight charges upon what it considers a
Just and equitable basis, and sustains,
in its direct application, the most Im
portant clause of the rate law, namely,
the right of the Commission to relieve
shippers, when In Its Judgment they
are entitled to such relief.
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. So brief
were the proceedings that but a single
representative of the Southern Pacific
Company bad put In an appearance
at the time and the ' court had ad
journed when the other attorneys
reached the Federal building.

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 UNIVERSITY. Cal., Sept.
90. (Special.) Stanford student voters
are Indignant over what is believed by
many to be an attempt to intimidate

allowed to register, but a great number
of them have recently received letters

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.

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.
