Okla.. when the Govern- ent decided to sell st pubMc auction some lands belonging to the Indians, he. Senator Gore and others entered into a combination not to bid agslnst each other so that the property might be ob tained cheaply. All of them secured some of the land. he said. Chairman Burke: "Don't you - know that there Is a Federal statute against a combination to prevent competitive bid ding?" Hamon: "I did not know of that law then, but I believe I have learned of It since. We wanted to get the land as cheaply as possible, and it was under stood between us that we would not bid against each other." . . v "Western Way" Different. Representative Miller: "Tou knew that the proceeds from thst sale were to go to the Indians. Do you think that was honorable toward the Indians?" Hamon: "We did not look at It that way. In fact, we don't do things out West Just the same way you do In the East." In some of his business transactions with Senator Qore. Hamon testified, money loans were Involved. "Just before Congress adjourned," said Hamon. "the Senator came to me and said he had to pay SAX10 which he owed to Senator Owen.

Chairman Burke tonight said: "Cnder the House resolution ordering the investigation, the committee is em powered to investigate-not only the Mo Murray contracts, but all contracts made with the Indians of what are known aa the five civilised tribes In this state. "Almost every tribe has a contract with an attorney. One attorney with, headquarters In New York received a salary of si:. 000 a year. 8uch a contract Is made with the Indians and approved by the Government. It ahall be our pur pose to Investigate the conditions be hind all contracts. "In regard te the Gore bribery charges, we are expected to gather all available data, and. If possible, to come to some conclusion, so thst our findings may be of use to Congress. So far as any action In the bribery matter Is concerned, that, of course, nou Id be a question for a Federal, grand Jury to take up.

"This conference with President Taft should alone set at rest any further consideration of the vague . charges made by Senator Gore In this matter.

Royal Poetess May Follow Visit to Orcron by Tour of Coast -Is Champion of Esperanto. Preparations are being made by the Haniman officials to receive Her Maj esty, Queen Elizabeth of Roumanla. more generally . known as Carmen Sylva, In State upon her arrival in Oregon towards the latter part of the month. Carmen Bylva will be In Washington. I. C, August 8-12 for the International Esperanto Convention. Oregon and the Northwest generally are represented by a large delegation from the Esperanto Association of the Northwest, headed by President J. C. Cooper. The local asso ciation endeavored to Induce Her Majesty to vlstt the Pacific Coast with such suc cess that before the convention they re ceived practical assurance of her coming. William McMurray, general passenger agent. Is trying to devise some means by which the queen can go on a tour, of the Coast In his private car after her visit to Oregon. Some arrangement would have to be made with the Interstate Commerce Commission to accomplish this. Queen Carmen Slyva Is much Interested in Esperanto and long ago promised to attend the International, convention. Should the efforts of the local men be crowned with success. It Is probable the queen will go South on the Southern Pa cific to San Francisco and return to the Atlantic Coast via the Southern route. The convention at Washington is to be flooded with the walnut book, recently issued by the Harrlman roads. The Es perantlsts advocate to some extent a nut diet, and this idea will be encouraged by the accounts of how profitably walnuts may be grown In Oregon. In addition slides of walnut-growing have been pre pared and sent to furnish material for the free lecture bureaus operated In the East by the Harriman railroads.

PROHIBITION FGR COUNTIES IS FARCE Mayor of Tillamook Says Plan Has Proved Failure in ' That Locality. . . CITY CONTROL IS DESIRED From AH Parts of State Leading Men Express Disfavor of Law Pro hibiting Towns From Set tling Question at Home. That sentiment throughout Oregon is radically in favor of the movement to give each locality and incorporated city a voice In saying how Its affairs, as re gards the sale of liquor shall be con ducted. Is shown by letters from busi ness men In all lines of trade, profes sional men, mechanics and farmers in all parts of the state, which have been received at the headquarters of the Greater Oregon Home Rule Association. These letters have been pouring In in ever-Increasing quantities, and they are especially noticeable as coming from dry counties. A letter from Thomas Coates, Mayor of Tillamook City, to H. C. McAllister, man ager of the Greater Oregon Home Rule Association, is a good sample of the let ters which -have been received recently. Mr. Coates' letter follows: "I beg to acknowledge receipt of your esteemed favor of the 29th Inst., and take great pleasure. In signing the appli cation for membership in your associa tion. "For nearly six years Tillamook Coun hod been a 'dry county, so far as the law Is concerned, but I believe there Is Just as much liquor used as ever. A large quantity Is sold In violation of the law. The local officers have honestly done their best to enforce the law, but the difficulty of getting the necessary evi dence la so great that it is almost impos sible to secure enough to convict, and In almost every Instance where there . has been a conviction, the character of the witnesses and their methods of securing evidence haa been so repulsive that the juries have condemned the wltnesrs more than the law breakers. Were It not so deplorable, the situation in Tillamook County, so far aa the law is concerned. could be termed a farce. THlamooK City was always against prohibition, but the rural districts carried the day for it. As a sequence, our . finances have Buffered severely without checking in the least the use or abuse of liquor, besides making it much more difficult to control the places where it is sold. I have heard so many of our cltlsens express them selves that I am sure Tillamook County will go 'wet st the next election, but In any event, I am heartily in accord with the plan to give Incorporated cities the right to govern their own affairs, and I shall be pleased to do anything I can to help in that direction." . : Campaign Is Open. The Greater Oregon Home Rule As sociation is not conducting a gumshoe campaign. Everything is being done open and above board. No spellbiriders are employed to deliver addresses for a stipulated amount and expenses, no private detectives are hired to spy on neighbors, no ' political buncomb is handed out. It is a clean-cut business campaign In the interests of Oregon. Men who have standing In communi ties, with the common welfare at stake, 1 are furnished copies of the constitu tion of the Greater Oregon Home Rule Association, which set out its -purr pose, and are asked to file their appli cation for membership. If they see merit in the organisation . they file their application for membership. If not, they are not molested, annoyed or maligned. The proposition is pre sented squarely to them and the asso ciation recognizes the right of every man to his own opinion. The first week of actual campaigning by Manager McAllister ended yesterday with branches of the Greater Oregon Home Rule Association being established In Sherman, Crook and Gilliam counties. He was courteously received everywhere and merchants, mechanics and farmers In common approved tne purpose oi m organization and not only wisnea to do come members. butoffered their assist ance to rid Oregon of a law that has proved obnoxious. County Branches Forming. The branch In Sherman County started ntr with a membership of 78. witn jo. ,n-num. a prominent business man of Moro. as vice-president of the state or- ionization for that COUntV.' In Crook County Manager McAllhrter was only able to visit Prinevllle. JBend anri Madras, but he organized a branch with UU members with G. N. Clifton, of Prinevllle at its head as vice-president for that county. In Gilliam County the organization ie only started but there are now 97 names on the membership list. Frank-T. Hurl- burt, of Condon, was named a vice-president for thai' county. Thus three "dry" counties in the state reflect the sentiment toward county op tion and the campaign has only -begun. The association decided that the best place to ascertain the real sentiment to ward the present law was to make a test in those counties that nave tried it, and the first three have expressed such willingness to assist in the movement that little difficulty Is expected In the others. Working on the theory that ex perience la the best teacher. Manager McAllister was sent to these counties and will visit other "dry" counties. In order thst communities that have been able to stave off the blanket provisions of the statntea that preclude Incorporaed cities from managing their own affairs, may learn from their neighbors who have tried It. - STEAMER SINKS; ALL SAFE ' (Continued from First Page.) : .
