M'MURRAY'S CONTRACTS
 ARE INVALID ANYHOW
THE OPINION OF SON OF CLOG
 TAW GOVERNOR.
They Do Not Represent the Collective
 Sentiment of Indians.

McAlester. okla. June 25.-D. C McCurtain, son of Governor George McCurtain of the Choctaw Nation. to- day sent a message of Senator La Toilette. which said:
 The Indians are not opposed tc the immediate disposition of all their tribal property, but are strongly op- posed to the sale of the surface coal lands and other portions of the dis posal plan which would prove an in- jury to the balance"
 McCurtain holds that an individual Indian cannot enter into contract bearing 'on the undivided tribal prop erty of the nation, and therefore he contends that J. F. McMurray's con tracts are not valid. The McMurray contracts do not represent the col lective sentiment of the Indians,' he said
 McCurtain and his law partner have d contract with the ChOctdWs To con duct probate matters for the Indians

ROOSEVELT INTERESTED
 IN NEW YORK'S FATE
AND WILL TAKE PART IN THE
 FIGHT.
An Intimation That Governor Hughes
 Should Remain in 1t.

oyster Bay, June 25-TheOdore Roosevelt may never make another political speech. as he told the news paper men the other day but h. may roll up his sleeves and plunge into the thick of the political fight waged this fall for the control of New York state. The colonel persists in his refusal to talk politics for publication but nev- ertheless. it may be said on authority. that he will devote every effort to save the republican party from defeat which he thinks menaces his state.
 Out of the coming conference be- tween Roosevelt and Hughes will is sue an articulated policy. The gov ernor and former president will go over the entire political situation in New York state Roosevelt will indi- cate his belief that if Hughes accepts a place on the United States supreme court bench. as the governor has al ready signified his intention to do. and thus v,ithdraws entirely from active politics the result may be disastrous to the party.
 Roosevelt may not, and probably will not, request the governor in so many words tO become a Candidafe for a third term. He will present the situation as he sees it, leaving .t tO the governor to decide after he has talked with Colonel Roosevelt. A de- cision to accept a third nomination would carry with it full understand ing that in the event of a republican defeat Governor Hughes would lind himself with neither a seat on the bench. nor in the executive chair
 Colonel Roosevelt gave the news paper men today his first interview of any length since his return rom abroad. He was asked if he had not invited a number of political leaders. both regulars" and insurgents" to accept his hospitality
 With the exception of Governor Hughes he answered. T have invit- ed no one here except to make social visits"
 Shall you see President Taft when you go to Cambridge for the Harvard commencement next week."
 "I don't know" was his reply

DEMANDS A SEGREGATION.

Cincinnati. June 25-C. F. Hunter former chairman of the Oklahoma state republican committee, a Rough Rider, en route west from New York stopped in Cincinnati today. When his attention was called to the accu- satiOn in congress of Senator Gore that a republican state chairman had offered him a bribe, Hunter read the telegram closely. then rushed to the telegraph office and sent the follow ing message:
 cincinnati papers state that some state chairman of the Oklahoma re- publican committee offered you a bribe. If you made such a statement, it is only fair that l should request you to state publicly the name of the bribe offerer The published statement casts a reflection on every Oklahoma republican chairman"
 Hunter declared positively that he knew nothing whatever about the charge of MT Gore.

Narrow Escape of Rivers and HdrbOrS Bill
 THE PIECEMEAL POLICY
Denounced By President Taft In Message Alp proving Bill-Demands a Change in the Methods of Preparation

Washington. June 25-President Taft after signing the rivers and har- bors bill sent a message to congress criticising the "pieCemeal" policy of dividing the funds among many differ ent projects instead of concentrating and completing each separately and economically
 Said he: The chief defect of the bill is in the large number of projects appropriated for. the uneconomicaI method of carrying on projects by the appropriation of sums small in com parisOn with the amounts required to effect their completion
 Figures conyincingly establish the fact that this bill makes inadequate provision for too many projects. The total of the bill $52. .O0O. .O0O. is not un- duly large, but the policy of small ap- propriations. with a great many differ cnt enterprises without provision for their completion is unWise. IL tends to waste because thus constructed, pro jects are likely to cost more than if they were left to contractors author
  in a reasonably short time.
 Moreover. the appropriation of a comparatively small sum for q doubt fIl enterprise is thereafter used bv its advocates to secure a further pro vision from congress on the ground that the investment already made is a conclusive recognition of the wisdom of the project. and it's continuance be- comes q necessity to save the money already spent This has been called the 'piecemeal policy
 Tt is proposed to remedy this defect in the annual rivers and harbors bill. but that hardly avoids the objections cited for such yearly appropriations are likely tO be affected by the state Of the treasury and political exigency.
 The proper policy, 1t seems. would be to determine the best from the many projects proposed, recommend what is most important and then pro- ceed to complete them with due dis patch; then take others and do the same
 Congress should refer the old pro- jects to boards of army engineers and further consider their recommendation Ati''N "'NAu NileADlt us lp hlluN NIdL old works ought to be abandoned
 The frarrters of the bill made as good bill as they could under the 'piecemear policy. I once reached the conclusion that it was my duty to in- terpOse d veto and if possible secure q change of method in framing these bills. Subsequent consideration al- tered my view of my duty It is now three years since d rivers and harbors bill passed. There are projects under way and there is urgent need for fur ther appropriation for their mainten- ance and continuance. It ias been made clear that a delay in the bill this late in the session would seriously obstruct the constructing engineers. l do not think therefore that the defects of the bill. which I have pointed out. justify a postpone ment of all this important work. but do think that the preparation of the proposed bills in the future should be made early. and that congress should adopt the forms suggested; that fail ure to do so would justify the with holding of executive approval even though the rivers and harbors bill failed
