The Chicago public school authori-
lies are preparing to establish a new
high school course of two years, for
the benefit of pupils who for financial
reasons can remain no longer in the
high schools. 1t is believed that by
doing this many rupils who now go
out into the business world from the
district schools could be induced to
take a special course of two years ar
ranged with view to their future en-
ployment. The development is in line
with effort to strengthen the public
schools as institutions for the prepa-
ration of young men and women for
the practical work of life, and it's out

The rush to the newly-discoyered
gold fields of Alaska continues, and
thousands are on their way, notwith-
standing the certainty that many hard
ships and risk of failure to make

of that alleged discovery by a Scran-
ton alchemist of method for trans
muting baser metals into the precious
varieties, with the supposed possibil-
tiles of cheapening values. Evidently
the glamour of gold has not yet lost
power TO lure the adventurous.

CREAGER EXPLAINS THE DEAL

McAlester, Oklahoma. - A charge
that Congressman c. e. Creager of
the Third Oklahoma diuI9ict, had So
licited sums" of money from J. f..
McMurray, holder of the Indian land
contracts that are being subjected to
congressional investigation was
made by Jake l.. Hamon before the
special committee appointed by the
house of representatives.
Senator Gore said Hamon had Of
fered the bride in McMurray's be-
half and Congressman Creager also
had testified that Hamon had ''sug-
gested" that he (Creager) might Sc
cure in an interest" in the contracts
if he helped to remove all opposition
to their approval by congress and
President Taft.
Appearing before the committee,
Hamon made the counter charge
against Creager. He said the CON
gresham had solicited money from
McMurray during the tendency in
congress of a bill which had been
drawn up by McMurray and which
Creager introduced. This bill provid-
to private individuals and for the sale
of the mineral wealth 10 the govern
ment
Wants Creager Recalled.
Although the McMurray contracts
were not referred to in it, the bill,
Hamon said, was so termed that Nc
Murray might have been enabled to
put in claim for the attorneys fees.
The measure, however was not pass
ed.
1t was Indian day" at the hearing.
Many Indians testified that they had
signed the McMurray contracts allow
ing 10 per cent attorneys fees be-
cause they had been impatient at the
government. AS the governments
wards, they said, they bad concluded
to employ attorneys to fight the gov
eminent in order to secure what mon.
ey had been promised.
Large Per Cent Signed.
1t was pointed out that SIS per cent
of the Choctaws and Chickasaws had
signed the ten per cent agreement.

the 10000 Indians in this state, which
contains more than one-third of all
the Indians in the United States. That
McMurray's agents had gone among
the Indians and asked them to sign
the contracts and to send kilograms
to President Taft urging him to APP
prove the sale of the land on a 10
per cent attorneys fee" basis was
the burden of most of the Indians
testimony.
do you mean to say that to sell
your land you are willing to give Nc
Murray $3,000,000, or enough to hire
all the lawyers in oklahoma" asked
Congressman c.. B. Miller.
Yes, we have waited so long for
the government to act that we would
give 25 per cent if that would cause
