Washington, D. C.-President Taft
walked out of the capitol at 1 o'clock
Saturday night smiling. The second
session of the sixty-first congress had
just adjourned and he had signed
practically all matters of Legislation
that had beer placed before him.
Each house Of congress marked it's
closing hour by voting for an ~investi-
cation of the McMurray Indian con-
tracts. Instead of the usual scene of
comparatively undignifed relaxation
from the business of legislation, both
houses devoted exceedingly serious
attention to the charges Of attempted
bribery and other forms of improper
influence made in the senate yester-
day by Senator Gore of Oklahoma and
subsequently in the house of repre-
s%entatives by Representative Murphy
Of Missouri.
Two separate Investigations are pro-
vided for, one in each house. Each
house passed a resolution creating a
select committee of five members to
pursue the inquiry to the bottom dur
ing the recess of congress and to re-
port whether any Of it's members are
or have been interested in any Of these
contracts.
