Tried to Establish Financial Relations With M Murray 50 HAMMON IEsIIf|Es
The Accused Congressman and a Supporter of Cores Charges Admits That He Tried to Borrow of the Indian Contract Owner.

McAlester. Okla, Aug. S.-A charge that Congressman c. E. Creager of the third Oklahoma district, had solicited sums" of money from J. NJ. McMur- ray of the Indian land contracts which are being subjected to a congressional investigation, was made by Jake l.. Hammon before the special commit tee appointed by the national house of representatives today. The charge de- veloped in connection with the in quiry into Senator Thomas H. Cores charges.
 Gore said that Hammon had offered him bribe in McMurray's behalf and Congressman Creager also had testi- fled that Hammon had suggested" that he CCreager) might secure an in terest" in the contracts if he helped to remove all opposition to their ap provaI by congress and President Taft
 It was Indian" day at the hearing. Many Indians testified that they had signed the McMurray contracts allow ing 10 per cent attorney fees because they had become impatient at the gov ernment. Afterwards, they said, they concluded they had to employ attor neys to fight the government in or der to secure what money had been promised.
 It was pointed out that S5 per cent of the Choctaws and Chickasaws had signed the 10 per cent agreement.
 We have become used to the 10 per cent idea" declared Parke Anderson, d Choctaw Most of the Indians in this state have to pay 10 per cent on all debts and borrowed money. We have become so dependent on attorneys that they have hand in almost every thing we do.''
 Further he said: We have waited so long for the government to act that we would give 25 per cent if that would cause quick sale. We need the money to develope the land on which 10 live"
 It was estimated by c. c. Choate. Choctaw, that if his land was sold through the McMurray contracts his share would be S5.OOO with a reduc- ton of $500 in fees.
 Now" he said. T would rather have $4,500 while I am living than to wait until the government acts and get $5.000 after I am dead"
 Why is it that while you have at tOrneys on a regular salary. and ap- proved by the government you employ special attorneys%
 Because our regular attorneys get paid whether they work or not, while the special attorneys, on a contingent fee, work because they expect to be paid
