WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 3.
President Roosevelt today gave out
for pub.lcatlon a letter received by
him from W. L. Sturdevant of St.
Louis In which the writer declares
that Gov. Haskell's statement In his
letter of Sept. 30 regarding the lat
ter's connection with the Zeek In-
dlan lands Is so Imperfect that It Is
entirely misleading. The text of the '
letter fojlows:
Gov. Haskell's letter of the date of
Gov. Haskell's letter of the late or
Sept. 30 the following statement:
'Yes, I believe I am a dofendant as to
certain government townsfte lots in
one of nearly eleven thousand suits
that you have brought against as
many different honorable and high
minded citizens of this state during
this presidential catnpaign year and
you will not undertake to deny that
petty politics for the purpose of- re
publicanizing about twenty thousand
Indian voters is your sole motive in
having those suits brought and I i'er. aim. ,. -. v.., - ; (

This statement regarding the town
site suits is so Imperfect that it is
entirely misleading. All those suita
In which Gov. Haskell is defendant,
except one, were filed In 1907, prior
to the admission of Oklahoma as a
state. Ho Is charged with 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
injury thus inflicted. He has not
answered to the merits of a single
case, but all pleas filed by his answers
are purely technical and necessarily
dilatory In effect.
Tho letter goes on to say that all
efforts to obtain expeditious hear
ings have met with no response on
tho part of Gov. Haskell or the other
defendants.

of times and then almost bodily
