ney was Instructed to write the fed- ,
eral court to hasten an opinion as it
is essential in the present predica-
ment of the city sewer work. The
decision of the court Is expected be-
fore October 1.
In the event that it is adverse to the
city, and the temporary injunction is
allowed to stand, another answer can
be prepared as it will then come to
trial.
C. N. HASKELL
AT AN ADJOURNED SESSION OF
COUNCIL THIS FACT WAS
MANIFEST.
THEY WANT SPEEDY DECISION
JUDGE COTTERALL WILL BE ASK-
ED TO HURRY UP ON DE-
MURRER.
NEXT RENT IS DUE IN
"I Can't Sere Where the City is Any
Worse Off if We go Into
Court," Said W. H.
Parker.
It would appear that the settlement
of the lateral sewer controversy be-
tween the Shawnee Sewerage and
Drainage Company and the City of
Shawnee was as far from an adjust-
ment as ever. At the adjourned ses-
sion of the council, held Friday after-
noon. It was clear that no satisfactory
agreement had been reached, and the
city attorney was Instructed to ask
Judge Cotterall to give a speedy de-
cision oti the demurrer filed with him
relative to the temporary injunction
secured by the company from the fed-
eral court at Enid.
As the next rent for lateral sewers Is
due in October, according to the state-
ment of the councilmen. It was sug-
gested that several property owners
affected request an enjoining order
from the court, restraining the com-
pany from collect.ng rents. The city
attorney advised that, as the property-
owners now own the mains and are
paying taxes on them, that he did not
believe they could be forced to pay
lateral sewer rent.
Mayor Stearns presided with the
following aldermen present: Lane,
Wayne. Halrston, Day, Prowse, Love,
Pelphrey, Abernathy and Parker.
Abernatny of the committee which
consisted of himself. Love and Wayne,
reported that no satisfactory agree-
ment could be reached with represen-
tatives of the company, with whom
they had conferred. He stated the
comlttee Insisted that the recommen-
dations of the city engineer should
prevail as to whether a lateral sewer
was acceptable and that the
company did not wish it that way,
but offered an agreement that the city-
accept laterals named as being satis
factory, and the others were to be
settled for by allowing the purchaser
the difference In the cost of lowering
them to the necessary depth.
"I don't see where the city is any
worse off than If we go Into court,"
said Parker after it was stated by As-
sistant City Attorney Engart that he
believed the city would win the case
now pending. The council voted unan-
imously to accept the report of the
committee, which was discharged.
On motion by Love the city attor-

LEN HITCHCOCK.
EXPOS CAUSED SENSATION
ADMINISTRATION CIRCLES ARE
DISCOMFITED AND IN CON-
STERNATION.
LOCATES THE BLAME
When He Refused to Grant the Con-
cessions as Secretary of the
Interior—He Received His
Orders.
Special to the Herald.
St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 25.—Ethan Al-
len Hitchcock, former secretary of the
interior, who left President Roose-
velt's cabinet but a few months ago.
In a scathing statement tonight charg-
ed the president with being personally
responsible for the presence of the
Prairie Oil A Gas Co. in Oklahoma.
This Is the subsidiary concern of
the Standard Oil Co. referred to by
President Roosevelt in his attack upon
Gov. Haskell. Hitchcock declares that
the application for a franchise to do
business in Indian Territory was made
by the Prairie Oil Co. and denied by
him. His refusal to grant the conces-
sion caused President Roosevelt to
personally demand that the grant be
made.. This was after Roosevelt had
conferred with several officials and
representatives of the Standard and
I Prairie Companies.
| Full responsibility for the presence
| of the concern in Oklahoma is thrown
back on Roosevelt by his former cab-
imt member.
The exposure has caused a sensation
in administration circles. Hitchcock
left the cabinet with the distinction of
having held the portfolio longer than
any man has ever held it before.
