General Leonard Wood, chief of

Such Action Was Lobbying.
Sulphur, Okla, Aug. 22.-What rela-
ton former Senator Chestnut I. Long
of Kansas and former Senator John
M. Thurston of Nebraska have with
the so called McMurray contracts was
described by j. F. McMurray before
the congressional committee. McMur-
ray declared Long and Thurston had
been employed as counsel.
In endeavoring to secure approval of
the contracts the witness said Mr..
Long had called on President Taft and
Mr.. Thurston had called on Attorney
General Wickersham. Asked to ex-
plain exactly what the former sena-
tors were employed by him to do Nc
Murray said they were to advise him
on legal matters.
"You don't call visiting the presi-
dent and visiting the attorney general
advising you on legal matters, do
you?" asked Representative E. w.
Saunders.
McMurray declared the visits were
made in relation to legal phases. It
previously had been shown that Pres
ident Taft at such visits had expressed
disapproval of the 10 per cent on the
ground that it was too high
The witness denied the former SEN
ators had been employed to lobby.
McMurray was compelled to be in
Washington to seek approval Of his
contracts and he selected the former
senators as counsel because he be-
lieved they were we'll qualified to as
SiSt him.

There will be undoubtedly a large

damaged to. an enormous extent by
floods. There will be a shortage in
the wheat crop of France alone of
from 60,000,OOO to 12O, 100000 bushels,
and Germany has been very hard hit
also. Prices are going up rapidly on
the Continent for everything in the
vegetable line. In Paris potatoes are
double in price what they were three
months ago."
Mr.. Patten said, however, that he
