Records Against Haskell
In Washington the Interior Department answered Gov. Haskell’s response to charges from Hearst and Roosevelt. Judge Woodruff exonerated the President on issuing leases to Prairie Oil but found Haskell liable for acting against Oklahoma law by withholding right of way. The department's action rested on a 1904 law granting pipeline rights in Indian Territory and federal rules to apply it.
