Vice-President's Name Is Dragged
into House Committee Investiga
tion of Alleged Offer of Bribes In
Connection With Indian Land Leg

MUSKOGEE, Okla., Aug. 4. The
namo of Vice-President James S.
Sherman was dragged Into the house
committee investigation of alleged of
fers of bribes In connection with leg
islation affecting Indian land con
tracts by Senator Gore this after
noon. Gore also named Jacob Hamon,
Oklahoma national committeeman, as
one man who called upon him In
connection with the matter.
Senator Gore testified before the
committee in support of his charges
that attempts had been made to bribe
him to influence his vote In regard
to killing certain legislation in the
senate.
Xamed Sherman.
Hamon declared, according to
Gore, that, besides Congressman Mc
Gulre of Oklahoma and former Sen
ator Curtis of Kansas, an official
"higher up" was interested In the.
contracts. When pressed to name
tho official. Hamon said It was Vice
President Sherman, according to
Gore's testimony.
Probing Senator Goro's charge
made In the United States senate
that he was offered a 50,000 bribe
to aid In killing legislation which
would havo nullified certain con
tracts for the salo of valuable coal
lands belonging to the Chickasaw and
Choctaw Indians, tho legislative In
vestigating committee of the national
house of representatives today began
Its investigation.
Contracts Involved.
The contracts involved woro ob
tained by J. C. McMfcrray from 10.
000 members of the Indian tribes, it
Is allaged. They contained options
for the stile of 450.000 acres of Ok
lahoma land rich in coal and asphalt.
Senator Gore alleges that the prices
named In these contracts were far
below tho actual value of tho lands
and that tho profit from tho deal
which would have gono to tho pro
moters would have been close to
$10,000,000. Ho questions tho valid
ity of tho contracts on tho ground
that tho Indians aro incapable of
binding themselves without tho aid
of the government.

representatives of Medford Traffie
Bureau Appears Before Interstate
Commerce Commission and De
mands That Rates to This City
Be Put on a Lower Basis.
WASHINGTON, D- C, Aug, 4.
Representatives of tho Medford traf
fic bureau at Medford, Or., today
appeared before the interstate coih
merco commission and demanded
that the Southern Pacific railroad
be compelled to mako rates on ship
ments on the same basis as made to
other cities.
It was alleged that tl.o rates to
Medford wcro higher than tho rates
from southern Joints to Portland. It
was cited as a specific example that
the rate from Sacramento to Port
land is about half tho charge made
on a similar shipment from Sacra
mento to Medford, which is a much,
shorter distance.
The rates involved affect traffic in
southern Oregon.
Tho Medford traffic bureau, aa
organization composed ol Medford
merchants and shippers, whose ob
ject Is to secure rates that will en
able the building up of a Jobbing
and distributing center here. It Is
aimed to make Medford a recogniz
ed terminal, secure terminal rates, as
well as distributive rates, and to
this end the aid of both the state
railroad commission and tho Inter
state commerce commission has beca
