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,

at the primary and that he will be nomi

NEW YORK. Aug. IS. New York
City la to have a brand-new political
party. Its platform and declaration of
principles have just been mads pah lie
L -,s -T; T,
, f - r '
HAKMOK.
It is the first municipal labor party in
this city since the Henry George cam
Daiarn of 1886.
The organisation, which Is to be
known as the Federated Labor party of
New York, had Its Inception at a meet
ing of prominent labor men on July 28.
According to the organizers, its scope is
for the present to be only local, but
plans for making It a National party
are to be launched in time for the next
Presidential campaign.
The party's platform demands among
other things the enactment of laws to
accomplish the following desirable
ends:
"Ownership and operation by munici
pality, by state or nation of all public
utilities. Including ice plants: the es
tablishment of postal savings banks
and postal express: laws prohibiting
the use. of the Injunction process In
labor disputes: a National eight-hour
law; abolition ot the electoral college
and direct nomination and election of
President. Vice - President, United
States Senators, judges, and all elective
officers, and ballot reform."
The leaders of the movement hope to
nominate John Mitchell, lately leader
of the coal miners, for Governor at the
next state election.

Lewis Will Take Floor This Morn

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

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

TniHa, lanH rnuspri the nresent inves
tigation, sought to show that a large
percentage of tne signers were sun

asaw Indians testified they were will

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

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

landgrabbers" schemes certainly will be
called to the attention of Congress," he
continued. "One man, we have learned.

"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

They Grow Hair
Certain Ingiedients If Prop
erly Combined, Stimulate
Human Hair Growth
Resorcin is one of the most effective
germ destroyers ever discovered. Beta
napbthol is a most powerful, yet abso
lutely 'safe germicide and antiseptic,
which prevents development of germ
matter, and creates a clean, healthy
condition . .
Pilocarpine, although not a coloring
matter or dye. Is an ingredient well
established for Its power to restore
natural color to human hair.
Borax, because of its well - defined
softening and cleansing properties, is
most useful in the treatment of scalp
and hair diseases. Glycerine acts as a
stimulant to the hair bulbs, and has a
soothing, healing and nourishing In
fluence. Alcohol is indispensable In
medicine because of its antiseptic,
stimulating and preservative qualities.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is chiefly
composed' of these ingredients, which
are- compounded In a peculiar form,
and we believe it Is the most effective
remedy known to medical science for
scalp and hair troubles generally. We
personally guarantee it to eradicate
dandruff and scalp irritations and to
grow hair, even though the scalp In
spots is bare of hair, providing, of
course, there Is life and vitality re-
malning in the hair roots.
We want everyone troubled with
scalp disease, dandruff or loss of hair
to try Rexall "93" Hair Tonic If it

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.
