the New York company. Wire mes
sages were received here Wednesday
night from the president of the Bos-

pay the same amount and under the
same conditions as the New York

GORE

tons Are False
NEVER MENTIONED BRIBE
Oklahoma Politician Says That He
Had no Interest in McMurray
Contract.

Muckogee, Okla, Aug. with Uni
ted States Senator Thomas p. Gore
re-asserting his charge that he was
offered a bride of $4,000 or $4,000
to influence his action in Congress
and with Jake l.. Hamon, accused by
the senator of having offered the
bride, denying he had ever done any
such thing, the investigation of the
Oklahoma Indian land deals by a
committee of the National House of
representatives yesterday simmered
down to a mass of denials.
For four hours Hamon, former
chairman of the Oklahoma republi-
can state committee, entered a con
tinuous series of denials relative to
his alleged relation with what is
known as the McMurray contracts,
by which, according to Senator Gore,
S3,000,000 or 10 per cent of 100000
600 to be realized from the sale of
Indian lands to a New York syndi-
cate was to be diverted from the In
dams in the shape. of attorneys fees.
Hamon also denied Congressman
c. h. Creager's charge that he (Ha-
nom had suggested that an Inter
est in the contracts might be avail
able to the congressman If the lat
ter helped remove opposition to con
gressional approval.
Among lannon's denials were the
following
That he at any time had been clos
eted with Senator Gore, in the sen.
ator's Office at Washington to urge
the approval of the contracts.
That he had ever mentioned Vice
President Sherman, Senator Charles
Curtis of Kansas. or Congressman
b. S. Mcclure of Oklahoma as beinl
interested in the contracts, as charg
ed by Senator Gore.
That he had ever spoken OF 9
bride to anybody about any legisla
ton or that he ever was interested
In the McMurray contracts.
That at the time the contracts
were being discussed, he had called
mp Congressman Creager on the tel
ephone at Washington asking for al
appointment, but he said Mr.. Creagel
had called him up. Mr.. Creager pre-
viously testified that Hamon asked al
appointment, at whcih the interest
In the contracts was spoken OF.

tor Gore said he was Offering brides

announced he intended to accompan

DUG WELL WHERE Z WOMAN FROZE Authorities Issue Warrants for Arrest of His Two
 Brothers
Laski Homes in Fairfield and Westport Entered by Sheriffs This Afternoon

Bartoni Laski, held. in s10,000 bail for attempted murder of the wife of Joseph Marock in Fairfield, Saturday night, helped to build the we'll on the William Ferris farm into which he tossed the woman last Saturday night. This fact has just come to the notice of the authorities.
 That Laski, rather than Marock, is the instigator of the attempt upon the woman's life, is the belief of the au- thorities today. This afternoon search warrants were issued giving authority to Sheriffs Richards and Burr to break into the homes, if necessary, of Andrew Laski, who runs the sasduck farm" so called, near the sce1fe|sof the attempted murder. and of Jqlhn Laski, in Westport, just east of taMvillage.
 !, hf 4heriffs were also given war re1tsf charging Laski's two brothers with foe5As accomplices in the attempt uponk Mrs. Marock's life, and they will Joe served, and the men taken into 1cllStody this afternoon if the sheriffs find the evidence they are seeking if the two homes.
 EThdy expect that the suit case car ri4d by Jdaski and Marock will be fo t1din one of the houses, and that the 'w5man's missing garments, in- cludin8 flrs, will also be found in the homes. ' The. sheriffs left Bridgeport armed with the writs and warrants in an automobile just before press hour.

The aldermen by a vote of 19 to 5 accepted the prosposal of the United Illuminating Company to furnish 625 magnetic lamps to the city at $73 a I8mp last night.
 By a vote of IS to 6 the aldermen voted not to continue the investiga- ton of the United Illuminating Com pany, which furnishes the lights. The matter came up on a report of the Council Committee on Miscellan- eous affairs. The majority of the committee, Aldermen Paddock, Ma honey and Jackson, reported in favor of making the contract and against continuing the investigation.
 The minority of the committee re- ported in favor of making the con tract but also in favor of continuing the Investigation, to secure a lower rate for private consumers.
 The majority report simply recom- mends a contract for IS months, the terms to be agreed upon between the company and the city attorney.

 Further MT. Day said that the com pany was discriminating against both the private consumers and the pub lie. He declared that an engineer could tell more in 15 minutes after going into theaplant than an investi-- gating committee could after several weeks of long hearings.

 London, Jan. 18.-Unless the Con- servatives take decided brace from the demoralization that yesterday s voting indicated had taken possession of their ranks, the best political fore- casters in England are to-day pre- dieting that the Liberals, with the aid of the Laborites, will control the next parliament without calling upon vote. The Conservative rate of gain is decreasing and there are many to- day who believe that the total gain will not exceed 80 seats. This esti- mate is on the basis of practically a solid Liberal representation from Scotland and Wales. If the Liberals do not lose more than this number of seats they will be able to control parliament with their own and Labor ite votes.
 As the Laborites themselves are making slight gains, the Liberals may be able to lose as many as 90 seats and still retain control. The situa- ton is significant in that it indicates that the Irish Nationalists will prob ably not be able to make too sweep ing demands upon the new parlia- ment.
 While the Liberal leaders expect to work-in harmony with the Irish mem bers, there is no disputing the fact that harmony would be a doubtful quantity if the Nationalists clearly held the balance of power. ss Premier Asquith and other big Liberals are now hoping that they may escape the
