Spain, is almost on the verge Of an
open rupture with the Vatican, due,
among other causes, to friction over
the governmental cenca.e of the Ro-
man Catholic archbishop Of Braga for
suppressing a Portuguese franciscan
newspaper without submitting the or

approval. Since the issue of the royal
decree July IL multiplying the action
of the archbishop the clerical forces,

campaign against the government on

At the same time the Vatican has
been raising difficulties about reflling

| death of Senior Martins d'Antan, the
Portuguese ambassador to the Vati-

ment from the side of the Republicans
on account of the refusal of the king
to redeem the promise made by the
government of an amnesty for political
offenders, including the members OF

The government has been trying to ap-
pease the Republicans by appointing
important members of the party to i'm.
portant positions in the provinces.
The monarchial press fears that this
policy will enable the Republicans TO
turn the election machinery of the
government against itself in future
elections TO the cortes.

Witness Before investigating Commit
tee Relates How Attorney Hired
Him TO Induce other Members of
Tribe to Sign Contracts-Says In
dams Had Become Discouraged
over Alleged Dilatory Methods of
the Government.
McAlester, Okla, Aug. 9.-How the
contracts were procured by which, ac-
cording to Senator Thomas p. Gore,
s3,000,000 in attorneys fees was to be
made out of the sale of land given to
the Indians by the government, was
related before the special congression-
al investigating committee.
w. T. Holman, a Choctaw Indian,
testified he had been employed by j..
F. McMurray, holder of the contracts,
to go out among the Oklahoma Indians
and induce them to sign the docu-
ments. At the same time Holman re-
lated he was paid "a dollar a head"
for securing contracts appointing Nc
Murray to act in tax cases. In this
way McMurray procured 10000 con-
tracts to sell land.
The terms were 10 per cent attor-
neys' fees, or $3,000.OOO profit for Nc
Murray and his associates. To pro-
mote this deal in congress Senator
Gore contends he was offered a $751;
900 or $4,000 bribe.
Holman testified that he himself
had signed the 10 per cent contract
because he. in common with other In
dians, had become discouraged on the
governments promise to sell the land.
II would have given 25 per cent to
McMurray," said Holman, ''if he could
have got us the money quickly"
He said he believed some of the In
dians would be willing to give Nc
Murray rs per cent.
Big Plum for McMurray.
Questioned further Holman testified
it was the belief of the Indians that
their property was worth from $780,
100000 to $40,000,000 and that the un'
derStandlng was McMufTay was u

that McMurray in 1906, in the lobby oi
the Raleigh hotel in Washington, had

draw tribal opposition to old contracts
which were disapproved by Presiden
Roosevelt.

GARD INER-SHEA.
A Great Bout in Prospect for Augusta
In the Near Future.

Manager f. w. Hanks has in contem-
plation bout for an early date that
should attract the fans from all over
Maine. The proposed bout is to be be-
tween Jimmy Gardiner of Lowell and Kid
Shea of Hallowel. Gardiner has been
training hard at Harry Gaths training
quarters and if he can make the weight
that Kid Shea insists upon the bout will,
in all likelihood, take place. Gardiner is
without doubt the cassest fighter in the
country and his work in the ring will
prove a revelation to those who are fort
innate enough to see him in action. He
will meet Leo Houck and Young Lough-
rey the latter part of this month or the
first of November in Philadelphia, and is
undergoing a most thorough course of
training under the direction of one of
the best-known trainers in the East.
Kid Shea, having beaten all the boys
that he has met in the last six months,
including Honey Melody, northumberland
ing the fact that Melody is fighting very
nearly. if not quite. in the best form of
his career has now decided to look for
make a tour of the larger cities, where he
expects to meet such boys as Harry Lew
is, Willie Fitzgerald. Leo Houck, Young
Loughrey, Tommy Quill or any other boy
at his weight.
The only condition that Shea demands
in his contract to meet Gardiner is that
Jimmy makes $50 pounds ringside. AS
Gardiner is confident that he can make
this weight, it looks like a treat for the
fans at an early date.

BOXING NOTES.

Leo HOuck of Lancaster, Pa, had all
the better of the siX-round bout with
Young Otto of New York Saturday at the
National Athletic Club, New Orleans. The
men boxed at catch-weights. Houck did
practically all the leading and the bout
was so uneven that it was embarrassing.
In the last three rounds the New York
boxer did not make more than half a doz-
en- leads.
Pal Moore and Owen Moran will
meet again at the Armory Club, Bos-
ton, tomorrow night. The ability of
both lads, the fact that they are to
box IL rounds to a decision and that
Charlie White is to referee, makes
the affair an unusual attraction. Since
Moran got the decision over Moore
Wednesday night. they are eager fol-
another meeting in the arena.
