New Era DawnS
for the Indians
by Investigation
Committee Will Resume Inquiry To-
day at MoAlester, Home Of
J. F. McMurray.

MALEsTER, okl, Aug. s-Thst a new
era Of wholesale legislation by congress
has dawned for the Indians as a result Of
the congressional investigation into the Nc
Murray contracts is the belief generally
among senator's. congressman and other
government officials assembled here.
The committee appointed by the house OF
representatives. and headed by Charles II.
Burke Of South Dakota, TO inquire into the
charges OF Senator Thomas p. Gore, that
he had been rendered a $4,000 or $4,000
bride to help put the McMurray deal
through congress. arrived here today
from Muskogee and tomorrow will con-
tinue It's hearings
McAllister is the home town OF j. F. Nc
Murray, the attorney who with others
holds the contracts. II is expected more
light will be thrown on Senator Cores
declaration that the sale is contemplated
for S3O,OO0OO0 to a New York syndicate Of
$4,000 acres OF coal and asphalt land now
owned by the Choctaw and Chckasaw In
dams from whom McMurray secured the
contracts that would allow him 10 per cent
attorneys fees, or 81 100000 Also more evil
dence is believed forthcoming concerning
Holman. who is charged by Senator Gore
with having offered the bride TO secure the
approval Of the contracts by congress.
The testimony given by Congressman C..
e. Creager OF Oklahoma. that Hamon
called him to a hotel in Washington and
there suggested" ne might obtain an in
terest" in the contracts IL opposition were
removed together with the Gore charges,
Is not believed to be the end of the dis
closures.
1T is evident that the whole Indian situa-
ton needs to be gone over by the govern
ment," said an official today. The Indians
are the wards Of the government, yet they
have become the prey OF attorneys. For
instance. one attorney received $4,000 a
year for representing one tribe and he re-
sides in New York.
I'm instances only where the interests of
the government and those OF the Indians
conflict. should attorneys be employed. AS
far as the sale OF land Is concerned, the
government itself by treaty has agreed to
dispose of the land and give the proceeds
to the Indians. The evidence that has al
ready developed certainly win enlighten
congress on what ought to be done

PLANTATION except that of murder for re-
venge. The police are not optimistic in
