TAFT SILENT.

Statement.

Statement.
Beverly. Mass. Aug, IT, Beverly was
completely upset last night when news
came Of the defeat Of Theodore Roose-
welt for temporary chairman Of the
New York Republican state convention.
The fact that Lloyd G. Griscom had been
in conference with President Taft as late
AZ Saturday night and Sunday, added
to the sensation that the dispatches
created.
The statement issued by Mr. Roose-
welt last night, apparently placing him
self squarely on the side OF the progress
sives, has created much comment here.
Senator Crane Of Massachusetts,, the
central figure in the reorganization
plans, was here late yesterday after
noon and spent two hours with the
president. He would not discuss his Wis
it, but 1t is known that he submitted
o verbal report to the president Of his
observations in the West and what he
had learned more recently in New Hamp-
shire and Vermont.

johnson previously testified that he
always had approved Of what are known
as the McMurray contracts, which pro.
vide for the sale Of ssooOooOo worth Of
land belonging to the Indians, giving
MeNlurray 10 per cent. in fees
Chief johnson has also urged other
indians to sign the contracts. He ties.
titled that he was a particular friend
Of McAhrray. He testified in what are
known as the citizenship cases several
years ago, that he approved of con-
tract in which McMurray got salary
Of 5000 a year, and $1,000 year ex-
penses A short time afterwards he
approved Of another contract in which
MrAiurray obtained for doing the same
work, contingent fee Of $4,000. The
latter fee was to have been 81 100000,
but was cut down half by the govern
mcnt.
why is it you are willing to give
McaInrray $4,000 for doing that for
which he already was paid salary

When you became chief Of your tribe,
isn't It fact that your bank account

He was opposed to them"
It has been asserted in previous testi-
mony that Mr.. sherman had expressed
his disapproyal Of the ten
per cent. fee.
Representative c. H. Burke, chairman
Of the investigating committee, pointed
out to the witness that much Of the

land was due to the failure of the In
dians to take their shares Of allotted
land

known as the Chickasaw nation, testi-
fed he signed the Mcsnnray contracts.

persisted internationally in calls,

girls father were living or that she
had brother to call John Avery to
account. She herself shrank from
intimating 10 the young man that his
friendly prerogative should not give
him the rights of n lover, that, in
short. he should ask Avis to marry
him, or clear the field and give others
chance.

The mother noted the girls wistfui

that this young man needed a little
