interested in a contract pending be-
fore the secretary OF interior for ap.

Chickasaw and Choctaw Indians.
The contract was negotiated, it is
said, through the firm of Mansfield.
McNlurray & Cornish of Oklahoma.
Recently the representatives of the
Choctaws went to Washington and
recommended the approval of the con.
tract. But it has not been approved.
Assistant Secretary Frank Pierce is
reported to have declared that it
would never be approved. Mr.. Nc.
Harg is reported to have negotiated
the contract when he visited Oklaho-
ma as the special attorney of the gov
eminent in the Mexican. Kickapoo and
other land fraud cases.
When asked about the matter Mr..
McI1arg said: Go to the interior de.
partment and ask if my name appears
anywhere in that contract"
The matter will have to be passed
upon by Secretary Ballinger, for whom
Mr.. McHarg has been very vealous in
the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy.
Regardless of the merits of the con-
tract, it will be a very delicate ques-
lion for Secretary Ballinger to pass
upon as it is expected he will have to
do as soon as McIIarg retires from of
