THAT Settled the Lawyer.

The Smith (Ga-) Pioneer tells this
one on a leading lawyer:
Mr.. Sample had been retained by a
man who had been injured on the
Calamity branch. Suit was brought
against the company for $1,000 dam
ages, and Ed won the case. The COM
pany appealed TO the supreme court
but here also the verdict was in favor
of Mr. Samples client. After settling
up the claim Ed handed his client a
silver dollar What is this for% asked
the man. That is what is left after
taking out my fee, the cost of appeal
and other expenses The man re-
garded the dollar a moment, Their
looked at Ed What is the matter
with this?' he asked. Is it bad?"

COST OF FEDERAL DETECTIVES

No business institution of our coun-
try would last thirty days If it were
run on the same basis and with the
same methods used in the conduct Of
governmental affairs. Under the prop
er system cur departments could be
run for one-ha1f what they are cost
ing today. The salary force should be
reduced to the needs of the depart
ments, incompetents should be weed
ed out, the men should not be given
places because they were ward POLL
ticians and had rendered some service
to the party in power. Usually the
dumping ground for those who have
rendered political service has been in
the detective service. Just a few years
ago a few hundred men were employ
ed in the government detective ser

tive service mum bers thousands. Re-

CORE MAKES
4 BRIBERY
CHARGE
Declares Money Was Offered
Him to Put Through Claim
of an Attorney.
SAYS CECIL LYON
WAS INTERESTED

Washington, D. c.. June Ex-senator
Gore. of Oklahoma, disclosed in the SEN
ate Friday what he interpreted as an
effort to bride him in connection with
legislation affecting the fortune in at
torney's fees claimed by j. F. AlcMur-
ray, of Oklahoma, for services rendered
to the Choetaw and Chickasaw nations
in land and townsite cases.
The charge created sensation in the
senate which later extended to the house.
The latter body in consequence sent
back to conference the general deficiency
bill, which carried an item relating to
contracts between the indians and their
attorneys.
As the result, senator Gore finally in
volved a member of the senate commit
tee on indian affairs, a member CT the
house committee on indian affairs, two
former senators-one from Nebraska and
the other from Kansas-but whose
names were not made public in debate.
In response TO a suggestion by senator
Bailey that he should name the senate
members of the indian affairs commit
tee. Mr. Gore demurred, but declared
that he would welcome an investigation
of the charges so that the whole matter
might be brought out before body
authorized to deal with his allegations.
Characterizing the McMurray claims as
having been conceived in corruption and
brought forth in eruption Mr.. Gore said
he had been approached by an outsider
who desired to interest him In the Nc
Murray claims.
ION Nav g." exclaimed Mr. Gore, "a
man came TO me with an improper sug-
gestiOn. He was u representative OF
MI McNurray, resident OF my home
town and has been my friend IN time
of need.
He assured me it would be to my
financial interest If l could call on sen
ator Hughes, from Colorado, and advise
that would have affected the claim
There was a suggestion that $4,000 or
$4,000 would be available If the con-
tracts were not prohibited.
Il am informed that q similar PROPOSE
ton was made yesterday to member OF
the house." he said.
This is one of the biggest steals ever
ATTEMPTED TO be put through congress,
said Mr.. Gore. After naming AlcMIrray

the alleged scheme through, he said Nc

committee of Texas and national Repub-
lican committeeman from that state
Senator Gore today presented reso-
luton providing for an investigation OF

longing to the ChickasDw and ChOctaw

missioner Of banking, statistics, insur-
ance and history, would do credit to

medieval tiPes.
The outgoing of Mr.. Hawkins will be
as painless as possible under the cir
cumstances- The senate has never COM
firmed that official, he having been
appointed in vacation time, and the au-
gust body will never set the oppOrtu-
nifty. The governor will simply refuse
TO submit his name for confirmation,
and if there is no way of vacating the
office during the special session it will
become vacant at the expiration of that
time by the automatic workings of the
law
In that manner the appointee Of gov

be separated from the office and its
enoluments. A S. Hawkins, candidate
for lieutenant governor, who resigned
