GORE CHARGES BRIBE ATTEMPT.
Oklahoman Creates Sensation Among
Congressmen-Fees Aggregat-
ing sS,G0O,O09 Involved.

Washington, June 24.-Senato1
Gore, of Oklahoma. disclosed in the
senate today what he interpreted as
an effort to bribe him in connection
with legislation affecting the fortune
in attorneys fees, claimed by J. F
McMurray, of Oklahoma, for services
rendered to the Choctaw and Cricka-
saw nations in land and town-site
cases.
The charge created sensation IN
the senate, which later extended 10
the house. The latter body, in con-
sequence, sent back to conference the
general deficiency bill, in the item
relating to contracts between the In
dians and their attorneys.
AS the result Of the announcement
Senator Gore finally involved mem-
Der of the senate committee on In
dian affairs, member of the house
committee on Indian affairs, two for
mer Senators-one from Nebraska
and the other from Kansas-but
whose names were not made public
in debate.
1t is not improbable that an inves-
tigation will be ordered.
Mr.. Gore was compelled to address
the senate three times before that
body was fully aroused to the Sc
riousness of the charges which he
made. His first effort was in connec-
ton with the conference report on
the deficiency bill. AS passed by the
senate that measure contained an
amendment which would render null
and void contracts made by the Choc-
taw and Chickasaw nations, and by
Individual members of these tribes,
with their attorneys. unless tie con

the house of representatives"
Ex-SCuat0rS InTOlved?

Ex-SonatOrs Involved?
Mr.. Gore also charged that an sex
senator from Nebraska and an ex
senator from Kansas are interested
in these contracts" and declared
that large lobby was maintained
in Washington in that interest HI
said that he felt in honor bound t
continue the efforts to prevent. this
steal from those defenceless Indian:
in Oklahoma"
Learning that the house had mo-
yet acted upon the conference report
Mr.. Gore hastened to the other cham
ber, where he told the friends of thu
efforts that had been made to corrupt
the members. When the conference
report was brought up in the house
representative Murphy, Of Missouri
called attention to the situation. He
declared that an attorney had bee7
lobbying in the capitol for long
time in the Interest of legislation
which would validate his cause with
the Indians.
Name the attorney" demanded
several members.
81. F. McMurray,". replied Mr.
Murphy.
The attorney was seated in the
gallery at the time.
Rejected by House.
The house almost unanimously re-
jected the conference agreement.
: When the action of the house was
reported to the senate Mr.. Hale NOV
ed that the senate further insist up
on it's amendments to the bill and
asked for further conference.
Mr.. Gore re-entered the chamber
at this juncture and obtaining recog-
milton reiterated his protest against
the provision inserted in conference.
Another sensation was created
when he declared that the friend in
need" had told him during the con-
versation of May 6 that "a member
Of this senate, a member of the In
dian affairs committee and a mem
Der of the house committee On In
dian affairs were interested in these
contracts"

Enormous Attorneys Fees.

This provision was in accordance
with a resolution introduced by Mr
Gore, on May 4, last. 1t was design
ed to prevent Mr.. McMurray from OBJ
tanning fees, which it is said wou'd
aggregate s3,OO0,00O and which Mr..
Gore complained had not been earn
ed by the attorney.
The conference report had been
adopted by the esnate when Mr.. Gore
entered the chamber. He announced
that he had recedd from tn amend
ment, requiring the approval by con-
gress of tribal agreements; but Mr.
Hale assure him that the matter had
been promperly safeguarded. He ad-
ded that, as agreed upon in the con-
ference, these agreements would. re-
quire approval by the president and
the secretary of tn interior before
becoming effective.
Mr.. Gore accepted the explanation,
but said if the contracts were to be
recognized, Mr.. McMurray would re-
ceive s3,O00,OO0. 1t was in this con-
nection that he first announced that
improper influences had been exerted
by a representative of Mr.. McMurray
in an effort to defeat the provisions
recurring congressional action upon
the contracts.
"ConceiYed in Corruption"
Characterizing the McMurray
claims as having been Conceived IN
corruption and brought forth in cor
ruption," Mr.. Gore said that he had
been approached by an outsider, who
desired to interest hi min the McMur-
ray conference. He lost no time in
returning to the senate chamber,
where he moved to reconsider the
vote by which the conference report
had been adopted The presiding Of
fcer informed him that the report
had passed out of the possession OF
the senate. Mr.. Gore then moved to
recall this motion upon the table. A
rule against debating the Gallinger
motion was enforced and Mr.. Cores
motion was tabled.
Mr.. Gore explained that on May 4
last he had offered resolution, SIM
liar in terms to the amendment he
had placed in the deficiency bill in
the senate, and that it had been re-
ferred to the committee on Indian
affairs. On the following day Sena-
tor Hughes had been directed to
make a favorable report on the reso-
luton, he said.
"Improper Suggestion" Made.
"On May g." exclaimed Mr.. Gore,
"a man came to me with an improper
suggestion. He was a representa-
tive of Mr.. McMurray, a resident OF
my home town and had been my
friends in time of need. He assured
me that it would be to my financial
interest if I would call on the sena-
tor from Colorado and advise him not
to report the resolutions. There was
a suggestion that $4,000 or $4,000
would be available if the contracts
wa~e not prohibited. And I am in

ent or skill in him gives to every
mans labor in the city a new WORTH
and if an ignorant negro slave in the
old days was worth $1,000, certainly
we may assume that a thrifty and in
telligent white Westerner, bringing
not only himself, but in most cases
substantial accumulations as we'll,
should be worth many times as much
as an asset to the State.
The last census year North Caro-
lima had only 1900 white people. 1t
should have 100000. South Caro-
liua had less than 100000 whites
when it should have ,OO0,000-and
would then be even with it's 100000
negroes, only one-tnird as thickly
settled as Massachusetts! Consider
for a moment how much more in
f1uential our papers would be, how
much more important every institu-
ton in the State would be, how much
more varied would be our industries,
how much easier 1t would be to get
good roads in counties in which the
white population is now too small to
maintain them, how easy it would be
to double the usefulness of our pub
lie school, how quickly We should
build railroads in sections which
must otherwise remain dormant and
! backward for long, long years, how
important our cities should become,
and how much more attractive would
be country life in our thickly settled
communities, and how much easier
it would be. to get telephones and
water-works and trolley lines and To-
cal libraries and all the advantages
of twentieth century rural life!
