I HASKELL BLAMES ROOSEVELT. Writes President a Letter Charging Him With' Being Responsible for Oil Company's Having Pipe Lino in Oklahoma. Kansas City, Mo., Sopt. '2G.?Gov. Charles N. Haskell, passing through this city tonight on his way from Chicago to Guthrie, gave out a letter addressed to President Roosevelt defending his (Haskell's) attitude toward the Prairie Oil and Gas company and assailing the president for granting, before statehood, a franchise in In- m dian Territory for a Standard Oil pipe 1 line at Hie request of Senator Chaun- ^ ocy M. Depew. "You knew," writes Gov. Haskell, "that Senator Depew was the greatest Standard Oil agent in the senate." Gov. Haskell says: "I said that Uhe secretary of the interior granted the Prairie Oil and Gas company a franchise before statehood; that tiho federal courts would IM'fiVnnt Olll* Rfcn+.rt's infoi'Pnr/Minn nnd Ithat we are compelled to treat it as _ tvc find the grant and that hcnce I i properly dismissed the suit brought |] by our attorney general without my approval. Ex-Secretary Hitchcock says he did not grant any franchise. Secretary Garfield says he did, but tihat the State's power is not in any way limited to control it, and that I am quiabbling. The press reports this morning say that Hitchcock is hearing that company's application for franchise in the year 1903 (three years before statehood) hesitated / about granting it, whereupon Senator * Depew and others went over Hitchcock's head to you, MY.- President, and got an order to the secretary to make folic grant. _ "The Prarie Oil and Gas company was a Kansas corporation and under that franchise at once built its main lino, from Kansas down about 100 miles into Indian Territory, now the State of Oklahoma, and began opera- p tion. A right was also included to lay lateral lines to assemble oil from wells into the main line, three such ^ laterals being laid to the nearby cluster of wells now in question. Thus q statehood found this foreign corporation with its vested rights under the tl interior department grant embracing All infoi"?fnfn ni'nniM^v 1 ! - VWK >.'?? IV J-?l 1/J '1Mr. President, can we ignore your ^ grant and tear up (hat line under State authority? You know we can c not. Will a domestic corporation _ come in now with that interstate line existing and parallel il to the same wells? Certainly not, no more than a new State railroad would build parallel with an existing interstate road i. to carry an amount of grain production not ample for both. Who wants an additional lateral line in this instance? The owners of that cluster of wells who produce the oil and must market it or go into bankruptcy; the land owners who want their royalties; the laborers who want employment; tilie local merchants whose trade depends upon production and sale of nu^ merous small producers. We would W all like to see this company take out | a domestic charter; our attorney general brought suit to prevent its laying the additional lateral line until it f should domesticate. The oil pipe q company said: 'All right, stop us, Mr. I'';. Attorney General. If you wish, we can wait.' t- ?- i 1 1.U1. IMII iiuuruHllMl I'lUZt'llS HDOVC ioned appealed to me in their ess.
