-JT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MSDBORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, AUGUST 21, 1910. WERE THEY PAID LOBBYING FEE ? That Is Question Investigation Com mittee Would Have Answer to Re garding Money Paid Long an) Thurston by McMurray, SULPHUR. OklJVy Aug. 20. Whether McMurray paid former Sen ators Long of Kansas and Thurston nf Nebraska to "lobby" measures through congross favorablo to his law firm or whether ho paid thorn legitimate foes for legal work, was one of tho questions tho congression al committee that Is Investigating tho Goro charges, attempted today to solvo. After a p:otrasted tilt betwooa Mc Murray argued tho propriety .of questioning McMurray on tho sub jeect. This occupIed nearly the en tire day. McMurray was on the stand long enough, howover, to say that ho em ployed Long and Thurston In a legal capacity and that they advised him In his ventures. Ho admitted that Ills nine per cent contract providing for the admission of Indnans to citi zenship provided that his fl-m should pay tho expenses and that later con gress amended tho law so that tho Indians should bear part of the ex penso. McMurray In the course of his tes timony said that he did not think a single person had been excluded from tho citizenship rolls who right fully belonged there, although there might bo a few names on the rolls that should he eliminated. It Is probablo that former Sena tors Long and Thurston will be call ed as witnesses. - BASEBALL NOTES. -t- Coast League. At San Francisco R. H. E.
