Gore Not Surprised.

MUSKOGEE, Okla, Aug. s.
Senator Thomas p. Gore is not
surprised at the denial made by
Vice President Sherman of the
charges made yesterday by the
Oklahoma senator before the
congressional committee which is
investigating alleged attempted
bribery in connection with the
McMurray Indian contracts.
"Such denials," said Gore to-
day, "as those of Sherman and
Senator Curtis are to be expected. /"
Charges Made in Senate.
The charge of bribery was first
made on the floor of the senate
by Senator Gore near the close of
the last congress. The charge was
made in connection with legisla-
ton before the senate which gave
certain officers of the government
right to validate contracts with
Indians in selling lands. Unde
the present system the contract
are validated by the government
after recommendation by the com
missioner of Indian affairs. The
Dill introduced in the senate pro-
posed to make changes in the man
ner in which contracts could be
approved SO that, 1t is declared

II "No," answered the girl who
had lived through Is summers, II

this summer l am going on Sun
day excursion. 1t costs $1.75

During the lunch hour that noon
We washed a couple of panes in
our dirty window so that we
might see the city spread out be-
low us and the clouds that piled
up near the horizon. Liz loved
the clouds. We imagined faces
In their billowy shapes, and told
each other our fancies.
Adm Liz could sing. Her voice
was thin little soprano, but
clear and sweet, and every after
noon she and all the other girls
In the room would sing. 1t sur
prised me the first day, when,
about four o'clock, began to
hear little humming tunes all over
the big room. The air of the Pol
ish Hymn of Freedom blended
with the stirring strains of the
"Marseillaise," sung by a dark
faced French girl who pasted la
bells. Two or three girls near
each other, started the chorus of a
popular song and one by one that
whole roomful of girls joined in
until the rumble of the machinery
of the floors under and above us
was drowned.
The girl who had learned a
new song in moving picture show
or dance hall was the heroine of
the hour.

Liz.

planned. 1--WE get so tired we

BRIBERY SCANDAL INVOLVES
MANY HIGH OFFICIALS

friends of those holding contracts
could have them approved.
1t was to withdraw his opposi-
ton to this bill, Senator Gore
said, that he was offered the
bride.
Big Sum Involved.
The contracts which it is al
legged by Gore were affected by
the bill were those in which J..
C. McMurray was said to be inter-
ested. 1t was said that McMurray,
representing a syndicate, had
purchased 100000 acres of land
in the Chickasaw and Choctaw
nations in Oklahoma. The lands
are rich in mineral deposits. The
purchase price is said to have
been $40, 100000, of which 10
and the others interested in the
deal. This was held excessive by
Gore, especially in the light of
the fact that the government
guaranteed to sell the lands for
the Indians without cost to them.
AS the charge was made in the
senate, Gore alleged that the men
interested in the matter were a
syndicate of attorneys. 1t was
also intimated that the deal was
being made in the interest of
another syndicate.
At the time the charge was
made, Gore said, another senator,
a former senator, an Oklahoma
congressman and others were in
volved.
Names Not Mentioned.
The names of all those interest
ed were not mentioned until Sen
ator Gore appeared on the wit
ness stand here. His charge that
Vice President Sherman was in
volyed in the deal is based on an
alleged statement made by Hamon
in the office of Senator Gore in
Washington. Hamon, he said, had
tated that Sherman was interest
ID in the deal, but did not say in
what way.
Senator Curtis of Kansas, &C
cused of having been interested
in the contracts, and who denies
the statement, has part Indian
blood.

RIGHT
To PICKET

The Metal Trades Council has the
right to place pickets to persuade
machinists in peaceful manner
from entering into the employ of the
Puget Sound Iron Works. This was
in effect the decision of Judge

straining order asked by the com
pany which prohibits the pickets
from using force of intimidation
The company contended that the in

the act of picketing.

Many women who would not tolerate

suffer from an unclean stomach, where
food fernents; turns sour and becomes

1t is just as easy for a woman to
keep her stomach clean, as to keep her

cussed at this session has come up
within the past few months. This has
to do with the question OF whether or
not the labor unions may pay labor
members in the house of commons.
They Get No Pay.
The members of the English parlia-
ment receive no compensation for their
work. 1t is purely an honorary posi-
ton
The vast majority Of the members
are of necessity in comfortable finan-
cia1 circumstances before entering pol
tiles With the representatives of the
labor party, however 1t is different.
They are selected from the ranks of
the laboring men. and, of course, in a
majority of cases have no resources.
for this reason it has been the custom
Of the labor unions to pay their ex-
penses.
In suit recently brought in Eng
land, a decision was handed down
which refused labor unions the right 10
use their money for political campaign
expenses and to pay labor members in
the house for their work
The decisionl created Juror in labor
circles and the labor unions now de-
mand that a bill be passed giving them
the right to use their money for politi-
cal PURPOSES. Such a bill would get
through the commons all right, but
would have a hard time in the house
of lords.
1t is possible that the question may
be settled by passing a measure pro-.
viding for salaries for the members of

at this time
E. A. Ross. superintendent of manual
training, reported and declared the
school exhibit at the Ell Paso fair by
far the best that has been shown in
any exhibit in this city during the two
years that manual training has been
taught.
The manual training class work
throughout the system is running the
most smoothly 1T has since it was
started and it is by far the, most eff
fective that it has ever BEEN" he says
I'm the grades it is better than in
most cities. of the United States. and
in the High school, though limited. it
is of excellent quality The: courses
themselves are not standardized, as in
other branches, and must be selected
from the best schools elsewhere and
carefully shaped to meet local needs
We are fortunate now in not having
a weak teacher in the manual train
Ing department. The good results and
harmony resulting far outweigh any
other possible disadvantage. If for any
reason the work could not, be kept up
to high standard, it should be aboi-
ished entirely, as poor work done by
poor teachers is an enormous waste of
time, energy and money"
