from the gang some two years ago, and
who now wanted to come back and

Owing to McCook’s effort* to come

that he mav have his wishes In the

PER GENT TO BE REDUCED
The reason for a change In the
figures for the minimum per cent of
butter fat nnd solids In milk as con
templated by the ordinance Introduced

er than those of other cities where tho

The amount of butter fat must bo
not less than 3 per cent and the splids
must go below 12 per cent. At pron-
ont the one is 3 1-2 and tha other 13

THE ADMINISTRATION
RIGHT8 GRANTED PRAIRIE GO-
FOR 8EEKINQ TO PROTECT
WHICH HA8KELL 18 DE
NOUNCED.
NEW YORK, Oct 21.—The Wash
ington correspondent of the World
says In a special:
Has the Htandard OH Company been
persistently favored by the Roosevelt
administration over other companies
socking concessions In Oklahoma?
The foots established by official doc
uments seemingly justify nn affirma
tive answer. These facts, which aro
admitted by officials of the government,
art:
1. That the Prairie OH and On* Co.
Is a subsidiary of the Standard OH
Co. and has a monopoly of the oil
transportation business of Oklahoma.
2. That the Prulrie Oil and Gag Co.
secured Its original pipe line permit
3. That the company has persistent
ly refused to conform to the regula
tions promulgated by Beoretary of the
Interior Hitchcock and that Its refusal
has been sustained by Becretary Gar
field In a modification of the Hitchcock
order of 190$. under tho terma of which
the company is now the only plpr lino
company In Oklahoma that lias been
given inch permit.
4. That the company hna been os
pedally favored by a special set o;
regulations drawn to conform to th*
demand mad*? by the general counsel
of the Htandard OH Company, that the
corporation need not avow Itaelf
"common carrier,”
B. That thla regulation, which
equivalent to a contract between 1
government nnd the Htandard t
Company, gives tho Standard «

6. That the. favoritism shown the
Standard OU Co. by the Roosevelt ad-<
ministration woe in deflance of tho-
policy of the interior department, and
was made ih th® face of a personal
protest by Mr. Hitchcock when he wav
secretary of that department. i
Got Congress to Act *'
Secretary* Hitchcock reached the con--
cluslon early In the flrst 'administra
tion of Tresldent Roosevelt that the
Htandard OH Company, through the
Pmltie Oil and Gna Company, its sub
sidiary company, was trying to mo- '
hopollze the oil business of Oklahoma.
After vainly appealing to Mr. Hitchcock
to issue permits to It to construct pipe
lines, the Standard went to its friend*
In congress In 1904. It appealed to Mr-
Sherman, now tho republican candi
date fo vice president; Senator Pen
rose, of Pennsylvania, nnd Representa
tive Vreelnnd, of New York. Tho re
sult was the passago of a bill to per
mit the construction of pipe lines
under conditions to be Imposed by tho
secretary of tho Interior.
Mr. Hitchcock refused to make th* . <
sort of conditions tho Standard wnnt-8^
ed. Tho into Gov. Higgins, of New
York, wroto to President Roosevelt
complaining of Mr. Hltchcock’a sptlon
and urging him to Intercede with Mr.
Hitchcock nnd have thn permit grant
ed. President Rooaovolt did so, nnd
Mr. Hitchcock, under protest, Iiwu<-d
tho permit In April. 1904. It wns with
in a few weeks of this tlmo that thn
Htandard Oil Company contributed in
a lump aurn $100,000 to tho republican
national campnlgn fund.
Secrotnry Hitchcock stoutly contend
ed that his policy in dealing with th*
oil Industry of Oklahoma was being
overriden by the president through po
litical influence. In order to vlndlerasi
his position Becretnry Hitchcoeg
sued a pnmphlet giving the exact facts
about tho transaction. Tho pamphlet
appeared during the New York stnlo
campnlgn in 1006, when Mr. Hughe:
when ho learned of the action or hi*
secretary of the interior and wlr-1
from Oyster Bay to hav* tho pnmph-
let snmressed. Agents of the Interior
department collected it from the news
paper offices In Washington nnd New
York and a copy Is not now obtain
able. All the copies of It. wero ship
ped to Oyster iBay.
Secretary Hitchcock followed up hie
wnr on the Standard by Issuing an or
der rendering all pipe line privilege*
subject to the control of the laws of
Oklahoma, which hnd the effect of
making them ’'common carriers” snd
requiring them as such to transport
the oil of any company, whether con
trolled by the Standnrd or any other
producing concern. The Standard then
refused to transport tho oil of the in*
dependent producers.
Modified the Order.
Complaints from independent rre*
ducers wero referred to Secretary Gar-«
field, who hod succeeded Mr. Hltoi-
cock. That official demanded that the
Standard comply with the "common
currier” order. Tho Htandard refus
ed nnd Mr. Garfield Anally agreed tn
modify tho Hitchcock order -by elimi
nating tho “common carrier” clause..
Thoro was ft howl of protest from the
independent producers, which Inspired
Mr. Garfield to Issue another ord.»<*
characterizing th© construction of pipe
lines by the Hlnndnrd rh "extensions;*
not subject to the Oklahoma Jaw relate
ing to “common carriers.”
President Roosevelt caused the In*
terlor department to deny the charge
that the administration had favored
the Standard 0!l Company In the fol
lowing letter written by Assistant Sec
retary Peirce:
’The secretary of the Interior ha*
never treated one applicant better or
worse than another and has alwaye
enforced his rules without favor, re
pealing or changing them for one rea
son—namely. to make them moro ef
fectively curry out th* Intent of tho law
nnd Insuro protection to.the interest*
of nil tho people.”
Tho statement, as If to excuse th*
favor shown the Standard Oil Com
pany, added that It had been the prac
tice of the department “to allow ant*
plpo lino company which had already
constructed n line to extend that lln*
If thn public Interest flgmanded."
It is no secret In cabinet circles thaf
the friends of Mr. Hitchcock believe h«
was forced out of the cabinet hccaus*
he persistently refused to aeoede to th*
demands of th* Standard OH Company.
The defenders of Gov. Haskell of Okla
homa any he VU branded by President
Roosf volt an the tool of the Standard
Oil Company because, as governor oe
Oklahoma, he sought to protect the
■any In tho exercise of the very
rights which the president 1
tration hnd conferred upon It a* a ape-*
clal favor. i
