THE 3IORXrG OREGOyiAX, TUESDAY. AUGUST 16, 1910. NEBRASKATO HOLD PRIMARIES TODAY Dption Fight Makes Outcome of Elections Difficult for Prophets. BOTH PARTIES ARE SPLIT thousands of Democrats Will Vote for Republican Candidates and Many Republicans Will Ask (or Balolts of the Opposition. 1JXCOLX. Neb.. Auk. li Special. Political prophets are all at sea tonlgnt ts to the outcome of tomorrow's state wide primary. Thousands of Democrats rill vote for Republican candidates and many Republicans will cast Democratic primary ballots. The Nebraska primary law permits a voter to cast whatsoever ballot he wishes regardless of past po litical affiliations, but it permits no split tickets, that Is. If a voter chooses to support one 'candidate on a ticket he Is limited to that ticket. The issue of county option makes the situation most perplexing. Of the Re publican candidates for all the leading offices, practically everyone is either a rronoanrfd or a near-county optlontst. On the Democratic side the line is sharp ly drawn. R. U. Metcalfe, for United States Senator, is a rampant county op tlonlst. while G. M. Hitchcock and Willis Reed, his" two rivals on the Democratic slate, are openly airainst any change in the present law. Governor ShallenDerger, while originally opposed to county op tion. Is pledged to approve any law the Legislature may pass. "Jim" Daitlman. the cowboy Mayor, of Omaha, is the most radical opponent or any enactment calculated to deprive the liquor interests of the rlg'.its they now enjoy, and' is making his campaign for Governor on that platform. It is not denied that Mr. Dahlman will get many wet" Republican votes. His managers are. making extravagant claims for him, laying .ort Republicans will support him at the primary and that he will be nomi Dated by W majority.

STRIKE XOT INDORSED BV EX-PRESIDENT. Lewis Will Take Floor This Morn ing; to Take Issue With Walker on Illinois Quarrel. , 1NDIANAPOLJS, Aug. 15. John Mitch ell,' ex-president of the United Mine Workers, who appeared in the conven tion of the organisation today, did not stampede the delegates for an indorse ment of the Illinois strike, as was pre dicted by many. Mitchell, after his few words this morning when he refused to take a seat on the platform, took no part in the convention proceedings. The rollcall by districts to obtain ex pressions on the amount of an assess ment to be levied for the strikers waa completed this afternoon and President Lewis announced that he would take the floor In the morning and show that some of the delegates, especially President Walker, had made mistakes in expressing their sentiments. The first hint that an attempt would be made to depose Lewis came during a heated dtsc-usslon between President Walker, of Illinois, and Delegate Hagen, of Kansas. Hagen accused Walker of telling the Illinois delegates that an at tempt would be made to force through the compromise so that the delegates of the Southwest would get the benefit of the strike assessment. Walker denied the charge and Lewis ordered both to their seats, saying that the miners would go home better organised than ever. "Yea. and we'll have a new president, too." shouted a delegate, "No, you won't have a new president, either." replied Lewis. Wyoming delegates said they were fac ing a strike when their contract expired at the end of this month, but were will ing to stand by the International author ities.

WHITES MULCT RED MEN Congressional Committee Looking Into Gore Charges Against Mc Murray Finds Startling Condi tionsCourt Is Involved. SULPHUR, Okie., Aug. 15. Details of a scheme by whlcf "land grabbers" or ganised systematically to enrich them selves at the expense of minor Indians were related at the Congressional investi gation into Indian affairs today. In one Instance It was asserted that the cost of disposing of the property of one 18-year-old Indian waa $20. o more than the property brought, and the condi tion which permitted this snd similar deals was declared to be a "disgrace to Oklahoma. Hearing that the scheme prevailed gen erally. Representative Phillip r". camp- bell, of Kansas, a member of the Invest! gating committee, . had put on the stand James Yarborough, a Chickasaw Indian by Intermarriage. "Do you call this sort of thing graft ing or lust plain stealing?" asked Mr. Campbell, after the witness had related the circumstance. Courts Involved in Scandal. "Well, the people down our way think It Is a scandal that the laws permit sucn a thing, and we think it is time that Congress takes notice of It." said the witness. "The Probate Court at Durant allowed the guardian to sell for $2800 a tract of 140 acres of what is known ss allotted land owned by an 18-year-old child. "The guardian then nut In a claim on the proceeds. The claim Included $850 for acting as guardian. $1650 for Improving the land, 500 for a barn, w tor posts. 8250 for fences. $68 for witness fees and more money for other purposes. It was found when the deal was closed that the child owed his former guardian $2075, and now the guardian Is threatening to have property of the child sold In order to get $3075. Children Are Defrauded. I know of another 325 acres which were sold for an Indian child and when all the claims were said the child got In another Instance $1600 was received for aoo acres, but the child got only $120. In other words, the children of deceased Indiana In this state, which contains one- third of all the Indians In the United Sti tes, are systematically being robbed of the lands allotted tnem oy tne uov ernment. The property Is sold at prices dictated bv the land robbers. The chil dren are robbed at both ends at one end by their guardians and at the other by the purchasers." Do you mean to say mat sucn xnmgs are countenanced oy tne rTooaie CourU?" Yes. they go on with the full Knowl edge of the Judges. Thousands of acres of property thus are taken from the Indiana and thrown Into the hands of white people. . The Indians are get ting poorer and the land graooers richer." McMurray Presents Defense. Mfut trwiav'a tefltimonv was given i. . . . n t .....-. fn the ilAfpnii. J. B. McMurray, whose 10.000 contracts allowing him a ten percent attorney's fee for the sale of $30,000,000 worth of TniHa, lanH rnuspri the nresent inves tigation, sought to show that a large percentage of tne signers were sun l hla terms A dozen Chick- asaw Indians testified they were will ing to Increase the fee if it would re sult in the prompt sale of allotted lands held in trust by the Government. Thnmam T PrPWR. an SttOmeV Of St. Louis, testified that he had contracts with 700 freedmen. or negroes, wno -i-i ti.. iiinH nr that thev are descendants of former slaves "ot In dians. These freedmen assert they were wrongfully kept off the citizen ship rolls. On the basis of his con . . u- q I H h would be al lowed a S5 per cent attorney's fee. Cltizenshlp Worth $5000. "A citizenship right Is estimated to be worth $5000. The 700 claimants, if successful in litigation, it is said. would acquire a claim on the Govern ment of about $3,500,000. The attor ney's fee involved would be $1,225,000, It was estimated. Mr. Crews said he also had contracts with about 100 negroes who desire to take advantage of a right to purchase 20 acres of land at an appraised valu ation In addition to the 20 acres given them as freedmen. Under the contract. Crews is to furnish the cash to purchase and is to receive in return one half the land. In another set of contracts, he said, about 1200 Choctaw Indians ih Mississippi want to get enrollment on a 25 per cent basis. Every inch of land owned by In dians Is looked upon as the legitimate prey of landgrabbers. Time Congress Interferes. Ths statement was made by a member of the committee which Is Investigating the Indian land contracts. "Some of the landgrabbers" schemes certainly will be called to the attention of Congress," he continued. "One man, we have learned. hoo Knm rnH H ICPTlt a list Of Indians who owned allotted land.

Who la only one of many starting with no capital, now owns lo.ouu acres, lor which he paid the Indians no adequate compensation. "As there are in Oklahoma something like twenty million acres of Indian lands, it seems absolutely Imperative that Congress take prompt steps to prevent further landgrabblng." Indictments Were Quashed. More details of J. F. McMurray's al leged activity at Washington were re lated before the committee. W. F. Johnson. ex-United States Attorney, testified- that certain Indict ments against McMurray in 1907 were ordered dismissed by the; Attorney General. The Indictments were re turned against McMurray and others In connection with a $300,000 expense account which McMurray's firm had filed against the Indians in prosecuting citizenship cases. It was alleged In the Indictment that the expense ac count had been padded. At the time the Indictments were oe Ing Investigated, Cecil Lyon. National Republican Committeeman for Texas, was In Washington. Mr. Lyon had previ ously testified that he had urged the They Grow Hair Certain Ingiedients If Prop erly Combined, Stimulate Human Hair Growth Resorcin is one of the most effective germ destroyers ever discovered.

FIRE PILLAGING GREAT AT BKCSELS CONFLAGRATION THIEVES GET IX WORK American Section, Particularly Fine Art Exhibit, Escapes Flames; Loss Will Be Heavy. BRUSSELS, Aug. 15. It will take many days to place the Belgian Expo sition in a fit condition for the reopen ing, although a large majority of the buildings are still intact. The known loss caused by the Ore which swept through the "white city" yesterday is between $6,000,000 and $10,000,000. This is confined to the Belgian and British sections but the damage by smoke and water has been general and will add materially to the total loss. The American section escaped the fires. The art exhibition was in a build lng two miles distant from the flames. The French loss Is confined to the building In which various foods were displayed and the pavilion of the City of Paris, containing industrial exhibits and models from the schools of arts. The recovery of valuable exhibits of jewels helped to reduce the first esti mates of the loss. The magnificent col lection of precious stones owned by Belgians and valued at $3,000,000 was unearthed from the ruins, unharmed. There was considerable pillaging after and during the fire and thieves made a heavy haul. Gendarmes caught a number of looters who bad in their possession scores of rings and brace lets from the French Jewel exhibit. It Is believed Parliament will vote extra credits for the purpose of clear ing away the ruins and. constructing new buildings. Crippen Time Limit Expires. QUEBEC. Aug. 15.
