WHEN JAKE HAMMOND
VISITED SENATOR GORE
Senator's Wife Tells House
Committee of the
Incident.

Mrs. Thomas Gore, wife of the United
States senator from Oklahoma. whose
name has been prominently mentioned
in connection with bribery charges
bearing on lawyers contracts with the
Five Civilized Tribes, appeared today
a witness before the House commit
tee on inquiry. Mrs. Gore was called
at the instance of her husband. Her
testimony was designed to refute state
ments made by Jake Hammond, who
testified under oath that after the date
upon which he is alleged to have Of
fered bride to Senator Gore he was
received as d guest at the Gore home.
Mrs. Gore admitted that Hammond had
visited the Gore home. as stated, but
she declared that he was an unwel-
come guest. She corroborated the tes-
casion of Hammond's visit their con-
the campaign of Mr.. Gore for the Sen
ate She insisted, however, that the
senator told Hammond that he did not
need financial assistance from him:
Lawrence Corroborates Hammond.
The most interesting testimony of the
day was offered by A. D. Lawrence, an
Indian trader of Oklahoma. He told the
committee that he had called on Senator
Gore in company with Hammond. An eff
fort was made to induce Mr.. Gore to
take an interest in legislation in which
traders generally were concerned. Sena-
tor Gore appearea to be indifferent.
At Muskogee last summer Hammond, in
telling of the visit of himself and Law
renee to Gore, testified that Senator
Gore, after declaring that he had no in
'rcrest in the legislation above referred to,
turned TO Hammond and said: Jake. if
have a chance TO steal anything tor you
VIII steal ii you want me to-
Lawrence testified today that the re-
mark quoted was made by Senator Gore
in his presence.
Cores Statements Corroborated.
Senator Clapp gave testimony in cor
roboration of statements heretofore made
by Senator Gore. Mr.. Gore has repeated
ly insisted that he was opposed to the
passage of the Rowell amendment. under
which J. +. ROweil was to obtain title
to a valuable town site near Lawton,
Oklahoma. Senator Clapp, who presented
the amendment, tod the committee that

Convinced of Its Benefits.

Mr.. Straus believes that the mainte-
nance of the laboratory is especially
beneficial to the babies of the National
Capital. and he fears that the closing OF
the milk station even for a short time
will have its effect on the infant health.
Friends of the institution express the
opinion that 1t will be taken over by the
government and placed under the supervi-
sion of the public health and marine hos
ptal service. While it's maintenance
would involve an annual appropriation, it
is urged that the results of experiments
with pasteurized milk would justify the
expenditure. and that. incidentally. many
babies in Washington would be directly
helped.
They believe that Mr.. Straus would be
gratified to have the laboratory taken
over by the federal government under
such a. plan.
