Hamon Makes Charge Against
Oklahoma Representative
- at Graft Probe.
INDIANS ARE WITNESSES
Congressional Committee Hears Xevr
Sensation in Investigation of
Scandal or Land Contracts
Bared bj Gore's ' Charges.
MOLESTER. Okl.. An. . A chares
that Representative C. E. Creager. of
the Third Oklahoma district, had "so
licited sums" of money from J. M. Mc-
3turray. holder of the Indian land con
tracts which are being subjected to a
Congressional investigation, was made by
Jake L. Hamon before the. special com
mittee appointed by the National House
of Representatives today.
The charge developed In connection
with the inquiry Into Senator Thomas
P. Gore's declaration that he had been
offered a ICS.OOO or $0,000 bribe to help
put through" Congress a McMurray deal
by which he asserted McMurray and his
associates would be able to secure $3,000..
00. or 10 per cent, as attorneys' fees,
in the sale of 450.000 acres of coal, as
phalt and timber lands now belonging to
the Indians In this state.
t'reagrr Implicates Hamon.
Senator Gore said Hamon had offered
the bribe in McMurrsy's behalf and Rep
resentatlve Creager also had testified
that Hamon had "suggested" that he
Craer might secure sa "tnteresf" In
the contracts. If be helped to remove all
opposition to their approval by Congress
and President Taft.
Appearing before the committee today.
Hamon made the counter charge against
Creager. Ha said the Representative had
solicited money from McMurray during
the pendency in Congress of a bill that
had been drawn up by McMurray and
which Creager Introduced.
hale of Lands Provided.
Thta bill provided for the sale of the
surface lands to private individuals and
for the aale of mineral wealth to the
Government. Although the McMurray
contracts were not referred to in It. the
bill. Hamon said, wss so termed that
McMurray might have been enabled to
put in a claim for the attorney s fees.
The measure, however, waa not passed.
"I want Mr. Creager recalled to the
stand to answer these charges." said
Hamon. I want him to explain why
lust after he Introduced tbst bill, he went
to Mr-Murray and under the guise of
loans, demanded from McMurray large
sums of money. I think It will throw
considerable light on the Indian land
situation at Washington if Creager is
recalled and Is ssked about his repeated
demands from McMurray."
Hamon Woald Present Witnesses.
On being Informed by Representative
Charles H. Burke, chairman of the com
mittee, that it was doubtful If Creager
would be recalled. Hamon asked to be
allowed to Introduce witnesses to testify
to his charges. Ills request wss taken
under advisement.
It was "Indian day" at the hearing.
Many Indiana testified they hsd signed
the McMurray contracts allowing 10 per
cent attorney's fees because they had
fcecome Impatient at the Government. As
wards of the Nation, they said, they hsd
concluded they hsd to employ attorneys
to fight the Government, in order to se
cure whst money had been promised.
85 Per Cent Sign Agreement.
It was pointed out that S6 per cent of
the Choctaws and Chickaaawa had
signed the 10 per cent agreement. This
represented a large portion of the 110.000
Indians in this state, which contains
more than one-third of all the Indiana
In the I'nitcd States. That McMurray'a
agents had gone among the Indians and
asked them to sign the contracts and to
send telegrams to President Taft urging
him to approve the sale of the land on
a 10 per cent "attorney's fee" basis, was
the burden of most of the Indians testi
mony. "We have become used to the It per
rent Idea." declared Parke Anderson, a
Choctaw.' "Most of the Indians In this
stato have to pay 10 per cent on all
debts and borrowed money. We have
"become so dependent on attorneys that
they have a hand in almost everything
we do."
"Do you mean to say that to sell your
land yon are willing to give McMurray
$0,000,000 or enough to hire all the law
yers in Oklahoma?" asked Representative
C. R. Miller.
"Ye, we have waited so long for the
Government to act that we would give
la per rent It that would cause a quick
relief. We need the money to develop
the land on which we live. It wss es
timated by C. C. Choate. a Choctaw,
that If his Isnd were sold through the
McMurray contracts, hla share would be
IjOOO, with a reduction of $500 in fees.
"Now." he said. "I would rather have
(&oo whi'.e I ara living than to wait
until the Government acts and get
$is0 when I am dead."
"Why Is it that while yon have at
torneys on a regular salary and ap
proved by the Government you employ
special attorneys?"
Special Attorneys Work Harder.
"Because our regular attorneys get
paid whether they work or not. while
the special attorneys on a contingent
fee. work because they expect to be
paid."
A singular appearance was presented
fcy Charles Lalafore. a Choctaw, who.
as Captain of Police, bad participated
la many a battle of the plains. He
had only one eye. three of his Angers
were shot off sad his body was covered
with bullet wounds. Asked about the
activity of McMurray'a agents, he re
lated that he had been approached by
George W. Scott, acting for McMurray,
and had been Induced to algn a telegram,
the wording of which he himself had
not dictated, thla being a telegram ad
dressed to Richard C. Adams, of Wash
ington, an attorney and a Delaware
Indian.
Approval Is Kx pressed.
The substance of that telegram was
that the Indians approved of the eon
tracts and asked Adams to call on Presi
dent Taft and urge him to sell the
land without delay.
"Who did you think Aflame was?
"Why. I thought he was somebody

with Influence who would go to the
President and Congress and tell them
what we wanted. We were not so an
xious to give up 10 per cent, but we
thought it would be better to sell on
thst basis than not to get anything at
all. We were in the dark aa to how
matters stood at Washington, but we
thought Adams would be able to fix
things all right."
In a statement to the committee and
without going on the stand. McMurray
declared today that the contracts came
to him originally against his desire.
He said the Indians at a "war council"
had demonstrs ted -their Impatience at
the Government's alleged slowness in
selling the land and had called upon
him to take the Job at 10 per cent.
which he did with reluctance. McMur
ray will go on the stand later.
W. T. Holman. a Choctaw Indian, who
said he was employed by McMurray to
get Indians to sign the 10 per cent con
tract, testified that it was the belief of
the Indiana that their property was
worth from $30,000,000 to $40,000,000
with the understanding that McMurray
was to get 10 per cent of thla
"Waa It the belief or the Indians that
McMurray had some power at Wash
ington by which he would be able to
get money more quickly than if you
left It to the Government?" asked Rep
resentative E- A. Saunders, of Vir
ginia
'We did not know how be was going
to do It. bq,t thought he kuew how."
waa the answer.
D. C. McCurtaln. a Choctaw Indian
and an attorney for his tribe, went. on
the stand and reiterated hla charges
that McMurray In 10. In the lobby of
the Ralelgn Hotel at Washington, bad
offered him a I .'5.00 bribe to withdraw
tribal opposition to the old contracts
which were dlsspproved by President
Roosevelt. He declared he had once
been employed by McMurray while he
was a delegate to Washington, but he
ssserted that the work for McMurray
was in behalf of and with the consent
of the Indiana When the bribe wss
offered, he was not sssoclsted' with
McMurray. and he did not share in the
ITiO.OOO attorneys' fees from the In
dians to McMurray In the clt'senshlp

More of the 10.000 Indians who signed
the contracts are to be Interrogated

CREAGER MAKES STATEMENT
Representative Explains Circum
stance Which Led to Charge. "
MUSKOGEE. Okla.. Aug. . In reply
to the charges made by Juke L. Hamon
at McAlester today that Representative
C E. Creager had attempted, under the
guise of loans, to obtain "sums" from J.
M. McMurray. Mr. Creager today gave
out the following statement:
"I have Just written a letter to Repre
sentative Burke In reply to the charges
made against me by Mr. Hamon this
afternoon In which 1 am explaining the
circumstances In detail and advising him
thst. if necessary. 1 will be glad to go
before the committee and answer any
questions that may be asked In regard
to the matter.
"There Is some foundation for the
statement of Mr. Hamon. but he must
have stated the case In an entirely dif
ferent manner than It waa given to him
by McMurray. Before leaving Muskogee.
In November. I tried to trade certain
Dronerty for 80 acres of farm land worth
$10,000. agreeing to pay the difference
which amounted to $40o. I rouna mat
I could not meet the requirements of the
transactons, so I made application to the
state for a loan from the school fund. Jn
December, after my arrival at Washing
ton. I received a letter from Guthrie de
nying my request. Mr. McMurray hap
pened to be la my office at this time and
1 explained the Situation to him and
ssked him if he knew where I could get
the money. He replied that If he had
the money on hand he would be glad to
make the loan himself.
"A few days later McMurray told ma
that he had the necessary money and
could make the loan, but questioned the
propriety of our entering Into a deal of
this kind. This waa the first time that
the matter wss brought to my attention
In that light and It was dropped then
and there. Mr. McMurray never loaned
me the money."

OSHKOSH. Wis., Aug. ..--Criticism
of the tariff law, which he designated
as a repetition of the pledges of the
Republican party, praise for Senator
LaFollette and severe condemnation for
Senator Aldrich. Speaker Cannon and
Attorney-General Wichersham, were
the principal features of an address
here tonight by Senator Joseph L.
Bristow. of Kansas. In opening the
campaign for United States Senator

In opening his address, he said he
had come to Wisconsin upon the Invi
tation of Senator LaFollette and did
so to render what service he could to
ward promoting the LaFollette idess,
which he said, were fcr the benefit of
the people.
Mr. Bristow quoted the tariff plank
in the Republican platform and said
that the party pledge had bee nbrokerf.
He said that the tariff. Instead of be
ing revised for the benefit of the con
sumer, was detrimental to the Ameri
can standard of living.
At this point he went Into the de
tails concerning the so-called lead
trust, which he said "controlled 00
per cent of the production and also
controlled the cost.1
He .said the "reason Aldrich has se
cured legislation favorable to thla
trust was because the American Smelt

He also spoke In detail of the so
called rubber trust, saying. "This trust
has raised the prive of rubber tothe
consumer about 35 per cent."
He said Aldrich and Cannon had
called him a "liar." but they 'had failed
to specify wherein he had lied and he
wss ready to meet them with proff for
every statement he had made thus far
14n the campaign.
In closing Mr. Bristow said the or
ganized trusts bad no party lines in
reaching out to get control of legis

voters should draw no party lines in
the coming election, but stand by the
men who were trying to defend their
Interests.

The men from Oregon had not Intended
to come, and at the last moment when
they definitely determined on attending
the 31st triennial conclave, no apart
ments were to be reserved at any of the
leading hotels. Brother Templars from
Washington, however, learning of the
plight of the boys from the sister state,
gallantly gave up room 108, which had
been reserved as their headquarters,
along with room 104. Now, on the second
floor of the Palmer House, are to be
found Oregon and Washington side by
side as on the map.
Among those who arrived with Grand

past grand commander, and Sir Knights
D. G. Patterson, of Baker City, and F. H.
Deems, of Albany. Tonight, after ar
ranging their headquarters, the Oregon
men took a stroll through the dense
crowds which lined Templar Way and
later attended the performance of "Are
Tou a Mason?" at the Garrlck Theater.
Those who were the first to arrive from
Washington and prepare the wsy for the
men who are expected tomorrow are
John G. Campbell. ' of Tacoma, grand
commander: H. L. Kenan, of Spokane,
grand generalissimo: W. E. Carter, of
Vancouver, acting deputy grand com
mander, and L. 9. WImans, of Seattle,
grand captain-general. The Washington

Oregon brothers spent the day In visit
ing the grand commanderies of the vari
ous states and renewing old acquaintances
of past conclaves.
One of the busiest of the state headquarters-
is that of Idaho In the Con
gress Hotel. In rooms 1124 and 1126 on
the second floor an elaborate display of
the products of the farms, mines and
flocks of Idaho has been arranged by
Knight Maitland. of Wallace, who is

No Man is Stronger

A strong mis is strong all over. No man can be
strong who is suffering from weak stomach with its
consequent indigestion, or from some other disease
of the stomach and its associated organs, which im
pairs digestion and nutrition. For when the stomach
is weak or diseased there is loss of the nutrition
contained in food, which is the source of all physical
strenth. When man "doesn't feel just right,"
when he doesn't sleep well, hss an uncomfortable
feeling in the stomach after eating, is languid, nervous, irritable and despond
