MANY WOMEN BRAVE
DANGERS OF THE AIR
London. The recent terrible acci
dent to the Baroness Delaroche (or.
more properly. La Roche), who fell
from her aeroplane at Rhelms, draws
attention to the number of women to
whom voyages In cloudland have be
come quite a hobby.
"Women will be the last thing to
be civilezed." At least so said the late
George Meredith, but in spite of his
wisdom It Is by no means sure that
he was right In this particular, for
the modern woman goes In for every
thing that is new and fresh and lor
the last word In up-to-date Improve
ments. Women took up telephones,
drove motors as Boon as their worser
halves, went in taxis the first day
that they were on the streets and
have now gone in hot and strong for
tailoons and aeroplanes.
The recent crossi hannel flights
have excited Immense interest; air
ships are built and bought, and the
tig crowd of women that one sees at
Rnnclagh on Saturdays is proof
enough, if any were needed, taut the
airship craze, has caught on In Lon
don. , , , ..i
L p to the present the only royi'l wo
men who have sailed In airships are
the Queen of Wurtemberg. Princess
August Wllhelra of Prussia, and the
Duchess of Aosta. Princess di Teano

not royal, but belongs by marriage to

Liar for Making Charges Crcager
Says Contracts Not Mentioned to
Him.
Muskogee, Aug. 5. Jake L. Hamon
former chairman of the Oklahoma
territorial repuolican committee, took
the stand today and denied he ever
offered a bribe to Senator Gore. He
said he made no Improper offer re
garding contracts and denied specifi
cally parts of the conversation which
Gore attributed to him In ,a confer
ence at Gore's office In Washington.
On the stand Hamon said: "There
is absolutely no foundation for Gore's
story. I did not suggest to him on
May 6th or at any other time that he
could get $25,000 or any other sum
out of the McMurray contracts."
"When Gore suggested that he
might secure $25,000 if he would
fight the McMurray contracts, Gore
lied," said Hamon. "McMurray had
not sought to Interest me. in the con
tracts and at no time did I ever Inti
mate to any man or men I was Inter
ested in them."
"Do you know of any reason why
Senator Gore should make these
charges?" asked Congressman Burke.
Harmon -replied: "I know Gore has
l-een prosecuted on criminal charges
n Texas an 1 that his brother has been
acr.i-ed "f crime, but I don't think
:t.v knowledge of these matters would
lead the senator to accuse me."
Congressman Creager, . republi
can, was the first witness. He said
he had not received an offer of a
shaie of the contracts through Ha
mon. He said: "I have known Ha
mon for four or five years, I first
knew him when he became chairman
of the republican state committee.
He and Congressman -McGuire are
friends and occupied the same rooms
in Washington. As far as I know
Hamon had no interest In the Mc
Murray contracts. He told me he
might get an interest but I didn't
understand our conversation as an of
fer to get an interest in them for me.
Hamon suggested I see McMurray. 1
!' out McMurray did not mention

Gore was out of humor during

before the comm'ttee. Cheager re
plied. "Hamon asked me if I would

Sherman Makes Denial.
Big Moose, X. Y., Aug. 5. Vice
President Sherman today sent a tele
gram from his summer home to the
United Press saying: "The story com
ing to me of Gore's charges at Mus
kogee Is absolutely without the
slightest shadow of foundation. I
never heard my name mentioned In
connection with the McMurray con
tracts. I didn't have any Interest of
any kind in the Indian contracts other
than the interest I have always taken
In the welfare of the Indians. I shall
always have this Interest, but It Isn't
a personal one. The story as far as
my name is concerned, has no foun
dation whatever," continued Sher
man's message.
Ifc'iiials Expected, Says Gore.
Muskogee, Aug. 5. Senator Gore
veas not surprised at the denial of
Sherman and said: "Such denials as
those of Sherman and Senator Curtis
are to be expected." Hamon has ask
ed to be allowed to appear before the
committee. He said: "I think I can
square myself." The committee re
sumed the sessions today.
Want Sherman to Take Stand.
Utica, Aug. 5. Sherman's friends
will urge him to take the witness stand
before the investigating committee,
and refute the charges by Senator
Gore. They contend that Sherman's
connection with the case is merely
unpleasant, as he had absolutely no
interest in the contracts.
Teddy Wont Talk.

newspaper men awaited the arrival of
Colonel Roosevelt this morning at the
Outlook office to question him re
