H5SKELL PLAYS FDR TIME STCRDEVAXT SAYS HE DODGES TRIAL OF LAND CASES. ' President Gives Out Letter Showing .Many Discrepancies Between Gov ernor's Statements and Facts. WASHINGTON Oct. 8. President Roosevelt today gave out for publication a letter received by him from W. L. Sturdevant, of St Louis, In which the writer declares that Governor Haskell's statement in his letter of September 30, regarding the latter's connection with the Creek Indian lands, to so Imperfect that It is entirely misleading.. The text of the letter follows: "Dear Mr. President I notice in Gov ernor Haskell's letter of date of Sep tember 30, the following statement: " 'Yes, I believe I am a defendant as to certain Government townslte lots In one of nearly 11,000 suits that you have had brought against as many different honorable and high-minded citizens of this state during this Presidential cam paign year, and you will not undertake to deny that petty politics tor the pur pose of Republiounlzing about 20.000 In dian voters was your sole motive for hav ing those suits brought; and I charge you with knowing that there has been no delay In these cases, except that occa sioned by the court's deliberations, tak en by himself as time he deemed neces sary to consider whether or not there Is any merit in the petition filed by your attorney.' 'The above statement regarding the townslte suits Is so Imperfect that it is entirely misleading. All those suits in which Governor Haskell is defendant ex cept one, were filed In 1907, prior to the admission of Oklahoma as a state. He Is charged with a direct participation In the frauds through which the Indians were deprived of their property and the bills seek to hold him personally liable for the lnjurv thus Inflicted. He has not an swered to the merits In a single case, but all pleas filed by his answers are purely technical and, necessarily, dilatory In ef fect Mr. Mott attorney for the Creek Nation, and myself, have many times urged a hearing on the merits of the cases, and I have personally proposed several times to his attorneys of record that they file answers In the case so that a hearing might be had upon the merits and the cases disposed of. Those sug gestions have never met an affirmative response and the result Is that the cases have taken the regular course on a heavy docket We have announced several times In open court snd otherwise that we are ready for an Immediate hearing In any and all suits filed. This has been done with a view of obtaining a speedy adjustment of the controversies and in order to give any person charged with a primary liability an opportunity to ac quit himself of such a charge, if possible, without delay. This course could have been pursued without any violation of ul timate rights, as Jurisdiction over the parties and subject matter cannot be waived In the Federal courts; out for reasons probably sufficient unto them, the defendant have not approved It."

He was affl Tound in tears on bench ln the Boule vard Malesherbes. just outside his own Soo?. having- apparently lost conscious ness of what he was doing just as he was about to ring his bell. He has since been placed under stricter re straint in another asylum. The comedian who has made us all laush is suffering from acute melan cholia. He Is getting slowly better, but still has delusions. He is suspicious of fti lriends. even of his brother, M. Constant Goquelln, who Is naturally a frequent visitor, and he hardly says a word, remaining wrapt In melancholy dreams. At times he fancies that he has gone blind and will, not be con vinced that he can see. The comic actor, now an aged white-haired man with a drawn face, is a pathetic sight sitting gloomily for hours in the gar den of the asylum. However, he Is now better and Is sometimes himself again. At a party In the asylum lately he recited a -monologue, and the old Coquelln cadet seemed to have come back to life. But there was a pathetic aptness In the title of the monologue which he chose, 'The Obsession." Grad ually his moments of naturalness be come more frequent and last longer, and It Is hoped that in time be will be completely cured. England's Old Age Pensions. London Dally Mall.
