THE MEN HIGHER UP.

What happened in the private office
of United States Senator Thomas ?.
Gore at Washington at noon last May
6 formed the basis of sensational
charges, involving the names OF Vice
President Sherman, Senator Charles
Curtis, of Kansas; Congressman b. ).
Mcclure, of Oklahoma, and others, IN
hearing before a special congressional
investigating committee at Muskogee,
Okla, yesterday.
During the 80 or 40 minutes of a
conference held in that office Senator
Gore testified that he had been ap-
preached by Jake l. Hamon, former
chairman Of the oklahoma territorial
republican committee, and also former
chairman Of the Oklahoma state re-
publican committee, and that he had
been offered bribe of$25, 900 or $5O,-
900 to remove certain legislation pend
ing in Congress, so that $500, ,OOO,O 600
might be paid to J. +. McMurray, an
attorney at McAlester, Okla, and his
associates.
The money was to represent attor-
news fees" OF 10per cent. $50, 600, 900,
which was to be secured from New
York syndicate for 450, 900 acres OF
coal and asphalt lands now owned by
the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians IN
Oklahoma.
Vice President Sherman name was
mentioned by Mr.. Hamon, Senator
Gore testified, as being interested in
the land deal to the extent OF fayOrlng
the approval by Congress of what are
known as the McMurray contracts with
the Indians.
What happened in another private
room in Washington, and also where 1t
was alleged Hamon made more over
lures" relative to the land deal, was
told by Congressman c. f Creager, OF
the Third oklahoma district.
The charges have caused the greatest
sensation.
The vice president who is on his way
to the Adirondacks has authorized the
following denial:
The statement credited TO Senator
Gore in the investigation into the Nc
Murray Indian contracts matter at Mus
kogee, Okla, yesterday, is absolutely
without foundation insofar as it refers
to me. There is not vestige OF truth
in any charge or statement duplicating
me in this affair. "
United States Senator Charles Curtis,
when told in Topeka, Kan, yesterday
about the allegations made by Senator
Gore at the Muskogee Congressional IN
quiry into the Indian attorney fee mat
ter, in which his name was used as one
of those interested in the McMurray
contracts, emphatically denied having
any connection with the matter what
ever. He gave the president, mem
bers of the cabinet and his fellow
senators as witnesses to prove his as
| sertions.

THE RISE OF SOCIALISM.

What is considered the most mo-
mentous question America will be call
ed upon to face-socialism-was point
ed out by Archbishop Ireland in an ad-
dress in Duluth, Mimi, yesterday.
If there is one sign Of alarm in the
skies of the future for our country as
see it" said Mgr Ireland, 1t is that
there will be an effort to chain indlvid-
ualism, to give all into the hands OF
the government, and to bring every
one to a common level, which in that
case must be the level OF mediocrity.
We are equal in liberal and equal rights,
but equal in talents never. The most
perilous problem ever presented to hui
manity is before America. There are
clamorings for division OF property,
for special laws, and there are mobs
and rioting. II these 60 on and in
crease the hour may come when
America will say, 1 msst maintain
order at any cost; il not with liberty,
then with powerful centralized govern
ment.

THE TENNEssE ELECTION.

Indications are that the Independent
judiciary ticket has swept Tennes-
see.
Scattering reports from many sections
show that the republicans voted in
force for the independents in.the noun
tain districts. An unusual thing was
the presence of scores Of negroes about
the polls wearing straight democratic
badges.
The overshadowing interest in the
contest centres i'll the bearing on the
political fortunes OF Malcolm r. Pa
terson, twice governor Of Tennessee and
nominee now for third term before
the November election. A Supreme
Court, free from the domination of the
executive, is the prime issue involved.
This issue grows out OF the celebrated
Cooper case, three OF the judges OF the
present Supreme Court having charged
Patterson with attempted coercion in
connection with this case.
The issue means political death or a
third term for Governor Patterson.
Back of the feeling is revenge for the
death of former United States Senator
f. w. Carmack, and Patterson's par
doning of Duncan B. Cooper, who was
sentenced to 20 years for his assocla-
ton with the crime. In this campaign
it is charged that Patterson endeavored
to tamper with the Supreme Court OF
Tennessee. favoring pardon for Cooper
and his son Robin Cooper. The Su-
preme Court refused his political offer
and Patterson launched another ticket
in the field against the candidates for
Supreme Court and Court of Civil Ap-
peals.
Patterson and his followers declared
the regular candidates "bolters, say
ing his was the regular democratic
ticket. The bolters declared Patterson
himself stood for the pardoning OF all
conyicts and for general lawlessness
throughout the state and corruption In
Office.
Families have been separated In tins
campaign. Fathers have disapproved
of sons beliefs and mothers have
PRAYED for the success of the boiling
ticket. because they thought it meant
an end of Patterson and corruption.
The independent republicans have
lined up with the boiling democrats.

ing that DR.. Crippen poisoned his wife
The assertion is made that the police
are now investigating the purchase OF
January 19 of five grains OF hyoscin
from the drug firm OF Lewis 4 Bur.
rows, New Oxford street. A hall
grain OF this drug would be a fatal
dose.
The Telegraph prints a similar story,
with the additional statement that Grip
pen signed the register at the drug store
in his own handwriting and with his full
name. This firm, the paper says, knew
Crippen and knew also that he had a
medical college.
Asa result OF these developments
the authorities are hunting for poison
in the remains found in the house
which Crippen and his wife occupied
in London and where the body was
found.
Solicitor Newton, who has been re-
tanned 10 defend Dr. Crippen, has filed
formal application asking the AIthorl-
ties to permit an Independent physician
to examine the bits of human flesh
found in the Crippen cellar. 1t is un-
derstood that Newton will contend that
they were not identified as having be-
longed to tho body Of Belle ElmOre.

sUNKEN SHIP UNDER GUARD.

Believing they have a S4OO, 600
treasure in their grasp, men employed
by Detroit syndicate are guarding
night and day the wreck of the steam
er Atlantic, off Long Point, in Lake
Erie
The Atlantic was sunk in collision
in 1852 by the steamer Ogdensburg
and $50 lives were lost. Many OF
those on board were drowned in theiI
berths, so quickly did the ship go to
the bottom.
The wreck was located recently by
the tug Racy and propeller Douglas.
1t lies in 15S feet OF water and the
extreme depth makes the use OF a
specially made suit of armor necessary.
In the hold, it is believed, the diver
will find two safes containing $40O, ,0OC
in gold.
The wreck of the Atlantic was found
practically intact. There was a great
hole in the side.
