INDIAN CHIEF SAYS
EFORGETs $4,000
Money Deposited Shortly After
Payment of S75O,0O0 to Nc
Murray by Tribesmen

SULPHUR, Okla. Aug. 16.-Douglas
II. Johnson. a Chickasaw Indian and
chief of the $4,000 members of that
tribe, answered Il don't remember be-
fore the special congressional investi
eating committee today when asked
how it was that he was able to deposit
$4,000 to his personal credit few
days after ]. F. McMurray had de-
ceived $3.50 900 as attorneys fees.
Johnson testified that he always had
approved of what are known as the
present McMurray contracts. which
provide for the sale of s30,000,000
worth of lands belonging to the In
dians and which would allow McMur-
ray 10 per cent, or s3,o00,00O, in fees.
He was particular friend of McMur
ray.
He testified in what are known as
the citizenship cases several years ago
that he approved of a contract in which
McMurray got a salary of $4,000 a year
and s2,70o a year expenses. a short
time afterward he approved of another
contract on which McMurray obtained
for doing the same work a contingent
fee of s750,000. The latter fee was to
have been $1,000 900, but was cut down
one-half by the government
WHY was it you We're willing to give
McMurray $3.50. 900 for doing that for
which he already was paid a salary?"
asked Representative c. B. Miller of
Minnesota.
Because we thought he earned II"
replied Chief Johnson. He kept off
the rolls 1920 claimants to our prop
erty and thus saved us $4,000 for each
person so kept off, or total of s16,000,
600. | would have been willing to have
paid him so per cent, or $4,000. .00o.'
When YOU became chief or governor
of your tribe, isn't it a fact that your
bank account was only $4,000? How,
then, would you be able to deposit
$4,000 just short time after McMur-
ray got his s750.000 fee? he was asked.
Chief Johnson insisted that he did
not remember. Asked why $500 in
warrants for expenses incurred by Nc
Murray had been made out in his own
favor. Johnson explained that he was
accustomed to pay off the expense bills
incurred by McMurray- Johnson said
his salary as chief executive of his
tribe was $4,000.
Governor c. n. Haskell today tele-
graphed his desire to testify, but prob
ably viii not be called.

SCANDAL
Society Physician Said to Be
Implicated With 'Protec=
tion' Bribery Money
Especial Dispatch to The Call

PITTSBURG, Aug. IA graft scan
dal rivaling the councilmanic explosion
was partly laid bare here today. when
it became known that Dr. c. Leonard
Levan. one of the best known society
physicians of the north side, had been
arrested and placed under $4,000 bail
charged with having solicited bribes
from city dive keepers.
The allegation is that Doctor Levan
secured this money at the instigation
of certain police officials at Pittsburg,
who were in turn to give the complain
ing bagnio keeper protection" The
protection has not been forthcoming.
and Mrs. Frances Foley makes affidavit
that she gave Doctor LeVan $1,000 at
his request, with which to grease the
hand of the men higher up in Pitts
burg The Foley woman. with Pitts
burg real estate worth s150.000, makes
the assertion that every dive keeper
in Pittsburg is being held up to the
tune of $1,000 by those who claim, to
have influence with the present admin
istration.
She asserts that some have been COM
PEELED to pay many times this amount
and that about $780, has been paid
out by the underworld at Pittsburg for
protection it does not get.
The hearing of Doctor Levan is
scheduled for tomorrow afternoon be-
fore Alderman Fugassi The charge
now is obtaining money under false
pretense. but Mrs. Foley's attorney said
tonight she will prefer charges of con-
spiracy with three Pittsburs city off,
cials to hold up the dives of PittSburg.

AS MANY AS LEADER
keesIing Is Far Ahead of His
Rivals in the Local Par
tiaI Count
SPALDING CHOICE OF
CITY FOR U. S. SENATOR

~ THE face of incomplete re-
turns at midnight from scatter
ing precincts throughout the
city, Charles r. Curry has carried san
Francisco over Hiram w. johnson for
governor by an approximate plurality
Of $500 votes. Estimating total of
10000 republican Votes east and basing
calculations on the comparative rntio
shown in the carly scattering returns,
Curry's total in this city is about $4,000
votes, JohnSon's is about 1850 and
Anderson's is about $500.
Nehher Stanton nor ElIery figured in
the running in this city, while Ander-
son polIed less than half the number
Of votes received by Curry. The latter
ran strong in every district in the city,
the early returns indicating that he
carried all but four assembly districts.
The four districts in which Johnson
poIled the highest vote were the thirty
fourth in the Mission, the fortieth and
forty-frst. lying along the northern
. section of the city, and the Polk and
Larkin street district. and the big thir-
ty-ninth, comprising the Richmond and
Sunset districts. In none of these is
Johnson's lead great. as shown by the
scattering returns.
The vote for governor in San Fran
cisco on partial returns received up
until midnight from 100 scattering pre-
eincts gives Curry 4,425. johnson 1904,
Anderson 1875. Ellery IS. and Stanton
Il. Indications are that the total vote
is the greatest ever polled at any
primary election in this city.
KeesIing Leads
Francis V. Keesling has big lead
over all competitors for the republican
nomination forslieutenant governor, so
far as the local vote in concerned. On
partial returns from 100 scattering pre-
cincts he has nearly double the vote of
Albert J. Wallace, Hiram Johnson's
running mate. The latter in turn shows
a safe lead over Dick Ferris, while Bert
Farmer is almost neck and neck with
the latter for third place.
Judges Melvin and Sloss have car
ciate justices of the supreme court by
three or four times the vote cast for
Judges William F. James and Curtis
d. Wilbur. Frank c. Jordan has a
small lead over Florence O'Brien for
secretary Of state. with Walter wag-
ner running only a fair third.

Count Will Be Slow

The count will be slow and il is un-
likely that the unofficial totals will be
available before Thursday night. The
indicated total vote shows that the cleo
tors of California availed themselves Of
the privilege of the direct primary law
in manner never approached by the
voters of other direct primary election
states
On the face of the incomplete state
returns available at IL o'clock the race
for the repubIiran nomination as be-
tween Hiraw w. Johnson and Charles
F. Curry was a Chinese puzzle to be
solved by the completed returns from
Los Angeles and the interior rountfes.
The first Incomplete returns from San
Francisco and Los Angeles indicated
that Anderson would be a hopeless
third. with total vote OF not much
more than half that polled by either
Curry or Johnson. Ellery had made no
showing anywhere. stanton made a
strong showing in Los Angeles county,

Proposition 70 Gail North Hnrtlnnd
Evarts Arouses Storm of Protest
--RcsOlutions Adopted.

North !Iartland, March AT the an
nuaJ town meeting yesterday resolution
was adopted by vote of l35 to protest
ing against change in the name of this
village to Evarts, in honor of Maxwell
EvartS.
The protest Is made on the grounds
that the inhabitants of the village are at
tached to the old name and that pre-
cedent would thereby be established
which would endanger many other vii
lages.
The resolution states that the postoffice
department has been induced By certain
inhabitants to change the name of the
postoffice, for the time being at least, to
take effect April /, 1910. 1t also mentions
a certain United states senator from Cali
fornia. who formerly lived in New Eng
land, as having been instrumental In
bringing about the change. and suggests
Ahat the Vermont delegation in Congress,
to whom a copy of the resolutions will
be mailed, should have as much interest
in Vermont affairs and as much influence
with the postoffice department AS the
senator from California. Through this
document the Vermont delegation is call
ed upon to secure an impartial and thor
ouph examination Of the case by the
postoffice department or an investigation
by the congr essional postoffice commit
tee.
Copies Of the resolution will be sent to
the postma ST ter- general his first assistant,
to the President and to each member of
the Congressional postoffice committee.
