LAW FIRM FATTENS
ON WEALTH OF INDIANS
Further Testimony of Fees Paid
to Nc MURRAY

SULPHUR, Okla, Aug. LIT was
brought out in the testimony of ]. F.
MeMurray, before the congressional
affairs today, that he held as many as
half a dozen contracts with the In
dians for legal services, all covering
the same period of time.
McMurray testified, under question
ing, that for general services he had
two contracts with the Chickasaws.
about $4,000 q year each, two with the
Choctaws at $4,000 a year each, an
other contract for special services at a
fee of $4,000, only $4,000 of which was
$3,700 under one contract, and other
general expenses amounting to s1s0.oOo
All of this money was in addition to
the s750.000 allowed his law firm as
contingent fee in what ara known as
the citizenship cases, AMI in addition
also TO the contracts by which he now
seeks to obtain 10 per cent, or $1,000
600, as a contingent fee on the sale of
s3O,0o0,oOo worth of asphalt and coal
lands.
Many of the expense allowances, the
witness said, had been collected by
him without the knowledge of the de-
partment of the interior. Also. he
said, many acts passed by the tribal
legislature were not submitted to thu
president of the United States as 1t
was asserted was required.
1t was also shown that the Indians
had employed other attorneys besides
McMurray, each tribe paying $4,000 a
year and one of the tribes $4,000 a
year for special counsel.

TUNNELCONVENTION
FAVORS BOND ISSUE
Twin Peaks Improvement Gath
ering Unanimously Deter
mines on This Policy

That the proposed Twin peaks tunnel
be municipal property and that the
board of supervisors call a special cleo
tion to determine on bond issue for
its construction of more than $4,000, 900
was the unanimous decision of the Twin
Peaks tunnel and Improvement con-
vention last night in New Era hall,
Market street near. Church.
The report of the ways and means
committee which went into detail re-
garding the cost difficulties and benefits
to be derived from the huge suggested
thoroughfare, more than a mile and
quarter in length, was adopted by the
convention.
Enthusiasm ran high, and following
the adoption of the motion of John L.
Polito asking the board of supervisors
to call an election, dozen suggestions
of improvements ranging all the way
from tunnels to viaducts and subways
were made by delegates. Among these
were embraced the Stockton street tun-
mel, Montgomery street tunnel, subway
lnder Golden Gate park between Rich
mond and Sunset districts, Seventeenth
street tunnel, Folsom street tunnel, Po-
trero avenue tunnel, Twentieth street
tunnel, Hayes street cut, Turk street
extension, yiaduct in the Potrero and
the construction of convention pa :
vilion In a central place. The projects
were referred to the advisory board to
be gone into after the Twin peaks tun-
mel was well under way.
The report of the committee dealt
with three methods of building the
tunnel: The creation of an assessment
district, private enterprise and a
municipal bond issue. 1t was reported
that a fair assessment district could
not be mapped out. Private enterprise
could not be induced to consider the
project unless a SO year franchise was
guaranteed The plan of the bond; is
sue was then detailed.
1t was shown that the area to be
benefited was so great that the result
ant jump in values would more than
pay the interest on the bonds through
the increase in yearly taxes. The turl-
mel cost was estimated at $4,000, ,0O0
including approaches and designed to
accommodate streetcar traffic and gen :
eral thoroughfare. The interest on this
at Az per cent would be $1O3, 500 year
ly, while the estimated increase in tax
alton in the improved region was
placed at 100000 yearly.
Joseph r. Howell presided and
Charles f. Adams was secretary. The
committee that submitted the report
was: Hartland Law, Gustav Brenner,
D. O. Crowley, David Livingston, Louis
H. Peterson, Paul T. Carol Z. L. Van
der Naillen, t. E. Treacy, Dewey Cof-
fin, B. Burns, p. d. Broderick

from 21z cents to cents per ZOE
pounds from points of origin in Okla
homa and Kansas to points in Colorado,
California and other states have been
suspended voluntarily by the railroads

interstate commerce commission re-
ceived many protests against the pro-
posed increases. it being urged that the

west would be put out of business prac-
tically if the advanced rates should be
exacted. When the matter was pre-
sented to the railroads, including the
Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe, the
Missouri Pacific. therRock Island and
the Missouri. Kansas and Texas. they
agreed to suspend the new. tariffs until
November L. Meantime the commission
will institute an inquiry into the pro-
posed advances. The. hearing of the
case probably will be held in Kansas

ber.

Attitude of Coggins

Trustee CoGgins was shown where
Van Liew stood as far as the other
members of the board are concerned,
and this evidently was the reason for
the calling off of the meeting. Cog
gins was given to understand that if
Van Liew did not resign he would be
removed. and as Coggins is the stanch
friend of Van Lew and has been di-
recting the presidents movements in
the controversy, it looks as though he
will have to have a talk with Van Liew
in which the question of resignation
will be the chief topic
The governor presented evidence at
hand which shows that the Clark mat
ter is not the only one wherein Van
Liews reputation has been assailed. He
did not mince matters in the least and
he has the support of Trustees O'Brien,
Hyatt and Rutherford. Trustee Camp
bell, who was not present on account
of illness, is counted on the governors 8
side If the removal of Van Liew comes
to a vote again.

would resign before the meeting called
