which ended last Saturday were an
nounced today, with a total of $20,-
2l4,02G to it's credit in tho sur
plus of receipts over expenditures,
which is nearly fifteen million dol
lars greater than was recorded for
the previous year of 1907.
The total ordinary receipts for the
year ended August G, 1910, were
$67S, ,s5O,Sl6.
The enormous gain of revenue un-
der the Payne-Aldrlch law Is shown
by the statement, that, with the year
of 1907 omitted, The revenue re-
cciyed under the new law was great
er by $75,0O0,000 than the sum coll
lected In any other year.
The receipts under the new corpor-
atoms tax were only 100000 short
of the amount assessed.
In the total of disbursements, the
item for the construction of the
Panama canal for the last year is
given as $33,2S3.01S, so that II the
treasury were reimbursed by n sale
of authorized bonds, Uncle SANS
working balance today would total
$50, 100000.

among the smoothshaven congress-

ID. c. McCurtain who testified Sat
urday that he had been offered n
bribc of $25,OOO by ]. T.. McMurray
was the first witness today and told
Of being employed as attorney by
the firm Of McMurray, Mansfield and
Cornish.
McCurtain rc-told his story Of the
bribes offered him by ]. G. Murray
in the lobby of the Raleigh hotel
in Washington, saying McMurray
made the offer on the conditions
that he (McCurtain as n delegate
of the Choctaws, would withdraw
his opposition to the contract.
McCurtain said:
81 told my father, Green McCurtain
of the offer made to me when re-
turned home and two years later
told Edgar A. Moore. Six or eight
months ago l told f.. p. Hill my
law partner. Tho offer was made
in 1906, but the first Senator Gore
knew of II was when I told my story
on the stand at Muskogee Saturday"
McCurtain said he opposed tho
contract entered into by the Choc-
taws and McMurray's law firm. In
January, 1908, he said he told Nc
Murray he would not accept the
$4,000 offer and in February Pres
ident Roosevelt disapproved the bill,
which would hove given McMurray
million dollar fee.
McCurtain said he had been prom
ised n fourth Of n $750,00O fee the
firm of McMurray, Mansfield and
Cornish was to get but did not re-
ceive II, and told them he thought
they had acted shabbily.
When other old chiefs are called by
the committee further testimony is
| expected along the line of McCurtain's
| story that he was offered quarter in

would approve 1t.
