1t is only within the memory of

1T is barely possible that I did see
Senator Gore on May 6, last, when he

Asked to explain some of his busi-

years ago at Lawton, Okla, when the
government decided to sell at public
auction some lands belonging to the
Indians, he, Senator Gore, and others
entered a combination not to bid
against each other so that the prop
erty might be obained cheaper.
All of them secured some of the
land, he said.
Chairman Burke-"Don't you know
there Is a federal statute against a
combination to prevent competitive
bidding?"
Hamon-I didn't know of that law
then, but I have since thought Of it.
1t was just a desire on the part of all
OF us to get the land as cheaply as
possible. 1t was understood among
US that we would not bid against each
other"

that she never had an opportunity to

OF the best boats built by the Con-
federacy. she was by no means a
formidable craft. but fair model of
