He announced that he had been Informed the Senate had receded from the amendment requiring the ap proval by Congress of tribal agreements, but Mr. Hale explained that the matter had been properly safeguarded. Mr. Gore accepted the explanation but said if the contracts were to be recog nized Mr. McMurray would receive $3,000,- 000. Gore Tells of jjpproacli. - It was this connection that he first de clared that improper inflyuence had been exerted by a representative of Mr. Mc Murray in an effort to defeat the pro vision requiring Congressional action on the contracts., .- Characterizing the McMurray claims as having been "conceived in corruption and brought forth in eruption," Mr. Gore said he had been approached by an outsider who said he desired to Interest him in the McMurray claims. Hearing Hard to Get. Later Mr. Gore examined the provision as agreed on In conference. He lost no time in returning to the Senate chamber, Twhere he moved to reconsider the vote by which th conference report had been adoptd. The presiding officer informed him that the report had passed out of the possession of the Senate. Mr. Gore then moved to recall the report, but Mr. Gallinger moved to lay this motion on the table, which was done. Addressing the Senate on a question of personal privilege, the Oklahoma Senator amplified his charges that cor rupt methods had been attempted in J connection with the Senate provision concerning the Indian contracts. Mr. Gore-explained that on May 4 last he had offered a resolution similar In terms to the amendment he had placed In the deficiency bill in the Sen ate and that it had been referred to the eommlttae on Indian affairs.

He said he felt in honor bound to continue these efforts "to prevent this steal from those defenseless In dians in Oklahoma." He declared that if the -contracts were ever carried Into effect it must be "done with the full knowledge that whether or not there actually had been corruption, it had been attempted." Learning that the House had not yet acted upon the conference report, Mr. Gore hastened to the other cham ber, where he told friends of the ef forts alleged to have been made to corrupt the members. McMurray Hears All This. When the conference report was brought up in the House, Representa tive Murphy of Missouri called atten tion to the situation. He declared that an attorney had been lobbying in the Capital for a long time In the inter est of legislation that would validate his contracts with Indians. "Name the attorney," demanded sev eral membere. . "J. F. McMurray," replied Mr. Murphy. The attorney was said to be seated in the gallery at the time. The House almost unanimously reject ed the conference agreement. When the GORE. action of the House was reported to the Senate, Mr. Hale moved that the Senate further insist upon its amendments to the bill and asked for a further confer ence. Mr. Gore re-entered the chamber at this juncture and obtained recognition, reiterating his protest against the pro vision inserted in conference. Senate Stands Aghast. Another sensation was created when he declared that the "friend in need" had told him during the conversation on May b ttiat a member of this- Senate, a mei ber of the Indian affairs committee and a member of the House committee on Indian affairs, were Interested in this contract. Mr. Gore said he had just seen Mr. Tawney, one of the House conferees, and had asked him who had suggested the provision that was substituted for the original Senate amendment. . "And Mr. Tawney named the very same representative who was mentioned to me on May 8 as being interested in these contracts," exclaimed the Okla homa Senator. "I understand that this member of the House and Mr. McMurray practically live togetner in tne same hotel in this citv. Senators looked aghast at the disclosure make by the Oklahoma member. . The charges, which had been mild at first. piled up in such an alarming manner that even the rush of the . last days of the session was not enough to minimize tne general interest displayed.

V SQUATTERS LOSE IX SENATE Locators of SileUc Homesteads Will Get Lands They Fought For. With the passage yesterday by the United States Senate of the bill author izing the issuance of patents to locators of lands in the Siletz Indian reservation, one of the most spectacular incidents In the history of land fraud investigations, in Oregon is closed. In most part, the lands aro extremely valuable because of the growth of tim ber, and a title to the land means that about 40 persons will be able to realize approximately $10,000 each by the sale of the lands. In 1902, announcement that the reserva tion land might be homesteader caused a rush of settlers to that country. Most of them took the lands undor the law which permitted commutation to be made in 18 months after residence was established, the settler being required to actually make his home upon the lands. The pioneers of thforest cleared some land, erected log cabins, and in some in stances planted orchards. At the ."isht time, they offered their final proofs be fore the land office, which were accepted. The claims were pending for patent in 1905 when disclosures as to frauds in Oregon caused a Presidential order to be issued requiring all timber and home stead filings to be investigated. By that time, the settlers had left their lands. They said it was necessary to go else where in order to . secure employment. In 1909. squatters began going onto the claims for the purpose .of establishing preference rights of entry should the original filings be cancelled by the land office. Test cases were brought In the United States court by A. W. Lafferty, the most prominent being that of Chest er V. Hare against August Blrken field. The court was asked to issue an injunc tion restraining Blrkenfteld from tres passing upon the lands which Hare had entered. On two occasions, the court ruled that the proper relief to be sought by Hare would be an action for damages, and dismissed the case. Attorney Laf ferty then went to Washington and pres ented the situation to members of the House and Senate. Committees on public lands. He recently returned to Portland and announced his firm belief that the measure would become a law. Earle's Marriage Xot Annuled. NEW YORK. June 24.
