Boston. Oct. 25.-The two million and
half dollars worth of products of
the Far East which the British steam
er kasenga brought to this port to-
dav were carried across the seas amid
many perils. The Kasengas troubles
began on June II last. when she was
four days out from Colombo for New
York. The steamer ran into a mon
soon on that Gay and simultaneously
the crew had to fight q fire which
had broken out in ono of the bunkers
Before the blaze was subdued it had
done damage estimated at $4,000. The
I<asenSa rode out the storm safely A
coral reef next brought trouble, the
steamer scraping over it on August
s between Singapore and Kobe, but
managing to work off without seri-
Gus damage.
Hardly had the Kasenga left Cal
cutta on Sept. : for Boston and New
York than she ran down and sank a
native fishing schooner There We're
no casualties. Backing away from the
schooner the steamer landed in mud
bank. The rising tide released her.
While the steamer was loading tea
and rubber at Colombo the British
steamer Janus. in preparing to sail
parted her stern line and ran against
the kasenga. nearly pushing her into
the sea wall. but doing little dam
age.
An Arab fireman. crazed by the heat
of the fire room. rushed on deck while
the steamer was passing through the
Red sea and jumped overheard. He
was not seen again. Half way across
the Atlantic there was another sui
eide; a pet monkey belonging to one
of the officers leaped into the sea.
The remainder of the voyage was
uEeXciting, but Capt. Dohs appeared
unusually glad to make port TODAY.

N,z,rene Church Meetings.

The largest attendance OF the series
was present at the Pentecostal Church
of the Nazarene Wednesday night to
hear Rev. L. Milton Williams. Of Os
kaloosa. on "Restitution.' The sermon
was by far the most pointed and def
mite of the series so far. The speak
er declared that the majority CT the
pulpits IN this day and age are silent
upon this subject. Men may break up
banks. steal and commit many other
fla grant sins, move away into some
new community. put or nice clothes
and there IS always some church which
has a door open and VIII be glad to
take them In with no question asked
concerning the past. They may have
two or more living wives, absconded
and left large debts behind, and in
many other WAYS Wronged their fellow
man. but SO long as the outside appear
ance is smooth and nice no questions
are asked regarding the past.
Among others on the subject he
quoted DR.. Adam Clarke. the great
Methodist commentator: No man
should expect mercy at the hand OF
God who. having wronged his neigh
Dor refuses. when he has it in his pow
er to make restitution. Were he to
weep tears OF blood both the mercy and
justice of God would shut out his pray
er if he make not amends to his
neighbor for the injury he may have
done him The mercy Of God thru the
blood of the cross can alone pardon his
guilt, but 40 dishonest man can expect
this. and he is dishonest man who IL
legally holds the property Of another
in his hands
The pastor Of the church, Rev. w. D.
Merryrnan. and his people. are full OF
expectation of good results from the
meetings.

.CMurray on
Witness Stand
Attorney for the Indians Says that
the Fees Are on a Busi-
ness Basis.

SULPHUR, Okl.. Aug Isl. F. Nc
Murray, whose contracts with the Indians
allowing him 10 per cent attorney fees on
the sale of s3OOOO,OOO worth of land, is the
subject Of an investigation by congress,
went on the stand before the special con-
.gressional committee today Mr.. McMurray
described his contracts as "a plain business
deal"
He, said the relation Of his law firm with
- Indians began in 1899 when he was
n ed by the Chocktaws and Chickasaw
to appear before the Dawes COM
ne ., -AThis commission was empowered
to = z nine for the government who
shoG = & included in the Indian tribes.
There . many who claimed they were

tribe. r. snt with its claim on the
governmt : estimated to be worth
$500 ~
Mr.. McM| Yas asked by Governor
Douglass 10, Ion of the Chickasaws to
protect the interests Of his tribe by keeping
as many claimants as possible off the rolls.
McMurray processes to have kept 3lOO
claimants off the rolls. These claim
ants each would have reduced the tribal
property 5000 1t was held MucMurray' s
firm got a $4,000 fee.
In prosecuting the citizenship cases, Nc
Murray said he frequently was in Wash
ington to confer with members of congress
and officers of the Interior department. At
last an appeal was taken from the Dawes
commission and citizen court was created
whose judgments relative to enrolment was
to be final. 1t Was in the actions of this
court that the 3,1OO claimants were kept off
the rolls. The attorneys fee in this case
was fixed so that McMurray's fee would
have been per cent of the money saved"
to the Indians.
He put in a clLim for almost 81, 500, 600,
but this fee was contested and finally fixed
at $75O,OcO This was subsequently referred
to by Representative Jonn H. Stephens in
congress as a scandal" Mr.. Stephens de-
claring McMurray should be made to pay
back the money.
