(By United Press Leased Wire.)
MuSkoGEE, Okla, Aug. 5.-Ja-
cob l.. Hamon, charged by Senator
Gore with offering him bribe in
connection with the McMurray In
dian land contracts, took the stand
and denied absolutely that he had
ever offered money to Senator
Gore.
Hamon said he had made no i'm
proper offer in regard to the con-
tracts and that he had not endeav-
ored to bribe the blind senator
from his own state. He denied
specifically parts Of the conversa-
tion which Gore on the stand at
tributed to him in a conference be-
tween himself and Gore In the lat
ter's office in Washington.
The charge of bribery first made
on the floor of the senate by Sem
ator Gore near the close of the last
congress. The charge was made in
connection with legislation before
the senate which gave certain Off
GERS of the government right to
validate contracts with Indians In
selling lands, Under the present
system the contracts are validated
by the government after cerommen-
dation by the commissioner OF In

THE FOGMAkER,

In addition to the orrifial rain
maker the Pinkeye has added a
professional fogmaker to it's staff.
Subscribers will be taught by mail
to make fog. This will be a great
boon to parents who desire to bring
up their children as burglars. Don't
you want a little burglar in your
home? 1t only takes the same tools
and methods as in plumbing and il
more inyigorating and remunera-
tive. The fogmaking apparatus
consists chiefly of positive and
negative planes with soluble chem
ical affinity. These are attached
to the cuffs. When the two affini-
ties are brought together there Is
a slight explosion accompanied by
a dense fog or vapor which entirely
conceals the movements of the bur
glar. This will enable him to ac-
complish his cission and escape.
There's no fun in shooting holes in
a fog. The Pinkeye night school
for burglary with expert course in
fogmaking should prove immensely
popular. Send so cents and get
complete prospectus, including d.
rectory of plutocrats. The fogmak-
er will be in demand in other lines
of effort. 1t will be able to create
a fog in which he can disappear as
he brings his argument to close.
For lovers who are compelled to do
their cooling on the front porch a
pocket fog-making outfit would be
great boon. Now ish the time to
buy territorial rights. Learn fog

of the primaries. They will be in

SUBMARINE
UPHEAvAL
(By United Press Leased Wire)


WASHINGTON, Aug s.
Astound by the spectacular per
formance of the seismograph at
Georgetown university today, Pro
fessor Lorndorff. the observer,
states that a monster submarine
upheaval occurred within 1000
miles southeast of the national cap
itol.
Lorndorf is of the opinion that
the disturbance was accompanied
by tidal wave, the instruments re-
cording simultaneously vertical aud
horizontal movements of the earth S
crust.
Estimates place the displacement
of the cath at spot some 2000 be-
meath the sea. but with such activ-
ity as the register of the seismo-
graph indicated marine phenomena
probably followed. The needle
moved upward at the same time
