FORMER ARDMORE MAN TELLS
CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE
OF INDIANS SIGNATURES.
INDIANS ASSEMBLED At SULPHUR
Indians Believed Payment of Several
Million Dollar Fee TO McMurray
Was the Quickest Way to Realize
From the Government.

McAlester, Okla, Aug. 10.-SiX
hundred Indians assembled in war
council at Sulphur, okla. and wrote
their signatures individually to the
McMurray land contracts, although
informed that McMuTay, the holder
of the contracts. would net a profit
of from 100000 to $3,OOO,OOO in
attorneys fees.
The Indians We're advised that
this afforded the quickest way for
them to realize on their own land.
In addition to the land contracts,
McMurray had the Indians sign con
tracts for the tax cases against the
government at fee of $40 per
head. The land fee was 10 per cent
contingent upon the sale of the land.
James II. Godfrey, a Chickasaw
Indian by intermarriage, gave the
foregoing testimony before the CON
pressional committee today. Godfrey
said he induced the Indians to as
semble at Sulphur to persuade them
to sign the contracts, almost 10000
of which McMurray had previously
secured. McMurray, he said, had
been successful in previous litigation
for the Indians and the Indians be-
lieved that if they paid him ten per
cent attorneys fees, he would be
able to urge the authorities at
Washington to expedite the sale.
DO you mean to say that you
told the Indians it would be a bar
gain to pay McMurray several mil
lion dollars to do something which
the government had already promis-
ed to do?" asked Senator Gore.
yes, We thought it would be a
bargain, for the government had
not done anything replied Godfrey.
Jake L. Hamon was recalled be-
fore the congressional committee TO-
day. Hamon said that the day that
Gore made his sensational speech
before the senate. Creager had asked
him (Hamon) to arrange a luncheon
with McMurray for Creager but
that he failed to do so. While Crea.
ger and Hamon were eating, Nc
Murray came in. Creager. he said
asked McMurTy to assist him ID
denomination. He told McMurray
that he needed $1,000 for campaign
expenses.
Creager then took the stand and
admitted that he had attended
luncheon and asked McMurrays sup
port, and said he needed money. as
he had a millionaire opponent.
"Didntyou in May, last, ask Con-
gresham C. D. Carter to urge me
to withdraw my bill holding up the
McMurray contracts?" asked Sena-
tor Gore of Jake Hamon today.
Il did not" replied Hamon.
Hamon continuei, "At a luncheon
in a restaurant at the house of rep
resent atives in Washington, on
June 4th. last. Congressman Crea-
ger said he needed $1,000 to con
duct his campaign in Oklahoma. I
took the remark as a direct request
on McMurray. After luncheon l ask
ed McMurray why he did not give
81 900 to Creager. McMurray replied
that he could not give money to

NEW ORLEANS
ILLOGICAL POINT -


II facturers have found the South
= land difficult field in which
z to introduce their goods, al
though it is a well known fact that the
South is UNNECESSARILY rich and a section
destined to lead this entire country, both
in natural resources and manufacturing
activity.
New Orleans is not only themerop-
oils of this great rich Southern country
but is the focal point for all the CONNER
cial activity of the Southwest, South
American Countries, Cuba, Haiti and
Mexico. Owing to the peerless location
of New Orleans, buyers from all this Sec
ton would be able to visit New Orleans
and attend this Exposition, whereas,-if To-
Gated at the proposed more distant point,
only small percentage would be able to
pay the immense transportation charge
With the opening Of the Trans-An-
dian Railroad, Buenos Aires, on the East
Coast Of South America, will be brought
nearer by SIX or eight days to NewOrleans
by way Of Chile and the West Coast of
the Panama Canal than steamship line d.
rect up the East Coast.
New Orleans is by far the nearest
large North American Seaport city to
the Typographical and population center
of the great zone most Immediate yafected
by the opening Of the Panama Canal and
most Immediate y interested in the new
markets the canal will open up.
Exhibitors at the Worlds Panama
Exposition in New Orleans would be Of
fered the chance of lifetime to exhibit
their wares before a public representing
the richest territory IN the World. More
Southern trade could be secured In this
way in a few months than five years of
urgent soliciting could possibly produce,
and at fraction of the expense
New Orleans IS nearer to the center
of the population of the United States
than San Francisco and more than half
the people Of the United States could at
tend the Exposition at an average cost of
about S 500 each-two cents a mile.
Less than 5 per cent could possibly pay
their way or spare the time required to go
to the most distant city.
1t is directly to the interest of every
Eastern manufacturer to see that New
Orleans Is chosen as the site for the great
est Exposition ever held in this country
and celebrating the most colossal human
achievement the world has ever known.
