WERE THEY PAID
LOBBYING FEE ?
That Is Question Investigation Com
mittee Would Have Answer to Re
garding Money Paid Long an)
Thurston by McMurray,
SULPHUR. OklJVy Aug. 20.
Whether McMurray paid former Sen
ators Long of Kansas and Thurston
nf Nebraska to "lobby" measures
through congross favorablo to his
law firm or whether ho paid thorn
legitimate foes for legal work, was
one of tho questions tho congression
al committee that Is Investigating
tho Goro charges, attempted today
to solvo.
After a p:otrasted tilt betwooa Mc
Murray argued tho propriety .of
questioning McMurray on tho sub
jeect. This occupIed nearly the en
tire day.
McMurray was on the stand long
enough, howover, to say that ho em
ployed Long and Thurston In a legal
capacity and that they advised him
In his ventures. Ho admitted that
Ills nine per cent contract providing
for the admission of Indnans to citi
zenship provided that his fl-m should
pay tho expenses and that later con
gress amended tho law so that tho
Indians should bear part of the ex
penso. McMurray In the course of his tes
timony said that he did not think
a single person had been excluded
from tho citizenship rolls who right
fully belonged there, although there
might bo a few names on the rolls
that should he eliminated.
It Is probablo that former Sena
tors Long and Thurston will be call
ed as witnesses.
