there are 100000 acres of coal lands in
Oklahoma, worth s16O.o0o.00o, of which
the attorneys would get s16,000,Ooo un-

said a similar contract had been disap-

Murray as the man who had been trying
TO put the alleged scheme through, he
said McMurray had been ably assisted
by Cecil Lyon, chairman of the great
Republican committee of Texas and ma
tional Republican committeeman from
that state.
These gentlemen" continued Mr.
Murphy, have travelled over the Indian
Territory and have procured contracts
from the Individual Indians. You are
giving to these men who are holding
these contracts from S3o00.00o to Sle,-
600, 900, and presumably more, and they
have done nothing that was worth a

Mr. Gore contends that the conference
provision is ten thousand times worse"
than existing law, which requires the
approval of tribal contracts by the Pres

Lut gives them no authority over indi-

Mr.. Murphy, who was once an at
torney for the Greek Indians, tonight
figured at $20. $4,000 the ultimate
amount that would go to McMurray and
those associated with him under the 10
per cent contract. This. said Mr.
Murphy, is under the Geological Survey
estimate. and is exclusive of the per-
eentage they would get from the pine
lands, which are reserved from allot-

UNJUST TO THE GUARD
Parade Would Involve Unnecessary
Sacrifice.
DR. of The Tribulse

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir Permit me- as an almost lifelong
reader and admirer of The Tribune, to
indorse heartily the position you are tax
ing in respect to the matter Of ordering out
the national guard on July next
l am not member of it. and therefore
feel tHat a protest from one of its warm
friends among the great outside public
may, perhaps, carry more weight on that
account, as expressing the general senti-
ment on the subject.
Your safe and sound editorial in this
mornings issue puts the case very clearly
and forcibly, TO my mind We all have the
highest regard for our boys in the guard
and know full well how readily and cheer
fully they respond to all demands for
their services in upholding law and order
and other necessary calls. Ought We not,
therefore. and especially those in authority,
to be very careful about asking them 10
make any unnecessary sacrifices of times
and opportunities for healthful relaxation
and pleasure?
Another point-While, of course, the reg1-
ments will promptly and ioyally obey
C'Thers not TO reason Why'D If ordered
to make the march, still those who may
look on cannot help knowing and feeling
that i'll the hearts of the boys" there is
a silent, but none the less strong, protest,
and that their service is not rendered,
therefore, in keeping with the spirit OF the
day We celebrate.
The Mayor is undoubtedly deserving tand
is gettns) hearty approval for the many
good things he is doing and trying TO do;
but I think his insistence on a military
parade is a great mistake in more ways
than one, and 1 trust he Will find-as he
will if he carefully reads The Tribune,
as ne ought to do-that SO far as the gen.
eral public is concerned its true wish will
be met in the matter of a safe and sane
celebration of the glorious Fourth. IL the
order for turning out the national guard be
rescnded. f. j. COGSWELL+

WHY PARADEs WERE STOPPED.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Having served in the national guard
from 1858 to iS1S. including service un-
der the United States during the Civil War,
l can state the reasons for discontinuine
the Fourth of July parades in later years.
The usual hot weather at that time would
be considered by regular army officers a
reason for not exposing their men to pos
sibIe sunstroke for a mere show parade
particularly during the hours suggested

Philadelphia in 1875 and know of the nu-
merous cases of sunstroke then.
Also, 1 know that in the later Fourth
Of July parades in New York the num-
Der of spectators on the line OF march

Guardsmen Are Bitter.

Some of the local national guardsmen
were bitter in their denunciation of the pro-
posed parade last night.
why don't they ask Mayor Gaynor to
march at the head of the parade. with a
heavy overcoat on, and see how he would
like it." one of them said. TT amounts to
that with the men, who have to wear their
uniforms and carry twelve 10 fourteen
pounds burden. with their guns and side
arms. I don't believe they will get per
cent of the officers to march unless they
are forced to do ii.
Mayor Gaynor received letter yesterday
from Commander Russell Raynor, OF the
naval militia, expressing regret that some
OF the men had written to the Mayor ex-
pressing their personal opinions in opposi-
ton to taking part in the parade. He as
sured the Mayor that these opinions were
not the opinions of the commanding officer
of the organization as a body. Mayor Gay
nor promptly dictated reply. in which he
said that he was well aware right along
that the overwhelming majority of the ma
tional guard and the naval militia was
ready and anxious TO join IN the celebration
of Independence Day
1t would indicate sad decline in pa
triotism and national pride were this not
So" the Mayor wrote. The few who are
in such fortunate circumstances as TO be
able 10 go out of town with their families
during Saturday, Sunday and Monday
should be the last to object TO turning out
on independence Day. Let them look about
on that day and learn that every one does
not leave town on holiday.

The attorney was said TO he seated in

The House almost unanimously reject

When the action Of the House was re-

amendments to the bill and asked for an
other conference.
Nh Gore re-entered the chamber at
this iuncture, and. obtaining recognition,
reiterated hiss protest against the pro-
vision inserted in conference.
Another sensation was created when

her of the Indian Affairs Committee, and
a member of the House Committee or

manner that even the rush OF the last
aays of the session was not sufficient to
minimize the general interest displayed.
The chamber was filled when Senator
Bailey. the first 10 express his feelings,

Il think the Senator from Oklahoma
owes it to himself and to the Senate to
give the name Of the Senator who was
reported 10 him as being interested in

lion any names, but said he hoped there
would be an investigation of the whole
