Big Moose, N. Y.-Vice-President
James S. Sherman on his arrival here
from Utica received a telegram say
ing that his name had been mentioned
by Senator Gore at MuskOgee as one
Of those interested in the 100000
McMurray Indian contracts. He gave
out this statement:
THE story that comes to me about
the charges made by Senator Gore at
Muskogee today is absolutely without
the slightest shadow of foundation"
Muskogee, Okla.-Senator Thomas
P. Gore caused a sensation by naming
Vice-President Sherman, Senator
Charles Curtis Of Kansas and others
in connection with the McMurray
contracts with the Chickasaw and
Choctaw tribes, investigation of which
is in progress here by a special COM
mittee of congress. In a recital that
dumfounded the investigators the
blind senator from Oklahoma mar
rated events that happened in his pri-
vate office at Washington at noon
May 6 last, when, he declares, he was
approached by Jacob L.. Hamon of
Oklahoma and offered a bride of $751;
600 or $4,000 if he would withdraw
a bill pending in congress SO that 49,
OOO,O in fees might be paid to J.
F. McMurray, an Oklahoma attorney,
and his associates.
The story the senator told was in
substance identical with the one with
which he threw congress into excite
ment June "a, during the closing days
of the session, but upon cross-eXam-
ination at this time he divulged
names that he suppressed in his
speech from the floor of the senate.
The names mentioned in connec-
ton with the Indian contracts up to
the time the investigators adjourned
were Vice-President James School
craft Sherman, Senator Charles Curtis
of Kansas, Representative Bird S.
Mcclure of Oklahoma; Chester 1.
Long, once United States senator
from Kansas; Jacob l.. Hamon, once
chairman of the Oklahoma Repub-
lican territorial and state committees;
John F. McMurray of McAlester,
Okla, and an employe of the depart
ment of justice whose name was with
held by Senator Gore.
V~ice-President Sherman's name
was mentioned by Mr.. Hamon, Sen
ator Gore testified, as being interested
in the land deal to the extent of favor
ing the approval by congress of what
are known as the McMurray contracts
with the Indians.
What happened in another private
room in Washington, where, it was
alleged, Mr.. Hamon made more "over-
lures relative to the land deal, was
told by Representative C. E. Creager
of the Third Oklahoma district. Rep
resentative Creager supplemented the
testimony of Senator Gore. He said
on June 16 last he had been invited
by Mr.. Hamon to meet him in a pri-
vate room at the Occidental hotel in
Washington. Having gone there, Mr..
Creager testified, he was informed
he could have a substantial interest
in the land deal if he would withdraw
his opposition to the approval of the
McMurray contracts by congress.
Jacob L.. Hamon, accused by Sena-
tor T. P. Gore with having offered
him a $4,000 bride to influence
legislation in congress for the sale of
Oklahoma Indian lands, took the
stand before the congressional inves-
tigating committee and denied that
he had ever-offered a bride to any
body, or that he had ever mentioned

To Close Saloons at Night.

Not content with closing saloons on
Sundays, the excise board at Trenton
passed an ordinance closing them be-
tween one and four in the morning.
For years saloons have been open for
two hours after midnight Sunday.
The streets have been lined with men
waiting for the opening of the sa-
looms, and the matter has become so
notorious that the authorities have
determined to stop it.

DYED FILLER FOR PIES.
Comes From Boston and Takes Place
of Fruits-Chiefy of Coal Tar.

Pittsburg. = Pittsburgers learned
officially that they have been eating
coal-tar dye pies and soap-bark can
dies and creams, and that Boston is
largely responsible for it. That an
nouncement followed the arrest of
twenty-six dealers in store pies, ice
cream, meringues and candies. All
the prisoners are accused of selling
adulterated foods contrary to law.
That sounded tame until Commits
sioner Miller revealed what "adul-
terated foods" means when the term
is applied to pies, candies and creams.
He says that instead of eating lemons,
peaches, apples, apricots, ~raisins,
huckleberries, b1ackberries, grapes
and e%lderberries in their pies, Pitts
burgers merely have been filling their
stomachs with what is known as
Boston filler" which is sent here
from the Massachusetts, seat of intel
