A HASKELL CONSPIRACY
McGuire's Secretary So Views
Gore Charges.

Guthrie, Okla, Aug. 4.-Representat1Ve
McGuire's secretary, Earl w. Croxton, out
lined tonight what is understood to be
statement approved by MCGUIRE. he de-
clared the charges SO far as McGuire is
concerned to be a political conspiracy De-
tween Governor Haskell of Oklahoma, Sen
ator Gore and other Democratic leaders
in this state to injure MCGUIRE.
Senator Cores weak attempt to connect
Congressman Bird S. Mcclure with the
McMurray contracts" he SAID, Is not the
first attempt on the part OF the Haskell
machine in Oklahoma to throw aust IN the
eyes of the voters of Oklahoma for the
purpose of defeating Mcclure. A similar
effort was made in the last campaign
Just two months before the election in
November. 1903. Governor Haskell, through
his private attorney. Orvile L Smith, filed
suit against Congressman Bird ). NC
CURE in the Logan county District Court
for 1886 O0o which he alleged MCGUIRE had
received on printing contracts during the
Territorial days. MCGUIRE charged that
the suit was solely for political purposes,
and demanded an immediate trial Haskell
ignored the proposition, and six weeks
after the election Smith informd the court
that he had failed TO get evidence, and the
suits were dismissed.
President Taft submitted all the facts
concerning the McMurray contracts to
Congress two months before adjournment.
McGure's proposition was to leave the ap-
prevail of individual contracts with Indians
and the amount of compensation to the
President and the Secretary of the Interior.
Cores proposition was to leave it to Con-
gress. Taft and Ballinger had twice turned
the contracts down, so it is readily seen
that McGuire's proposition did not mean
the approval of the McMurray contracts.

SHERMAN AND INDIANS
He and Curtis Authorities on
Their Affairs.
From The Tribune Bureau. J

Washington, Aug. 4. - Nice-President
Shermans most otable work in the House
of Representatives was done in connection
with his duties chairman of the Com
nlittee on Indian Affairs. He was one Of
the minority members of this committee
in the SD Congress. and in the following
Congress he became its chairman. He
held this craftsmanship for fourteen years
being at the head of the committee when
he nominated for Vice-President.
In all but the last two years of Mr.
Sherman's Craftsmanship the ranking Re
publican member of the committee was
Mr.. Curtis, of Kansas. Messrs Sherman
and Curtis were always the Republican con-
ferrees on the Indian appropriation bills
When MI Curtis entered the Senate he
was assigned to a place on the Committee
on Indian Affairs. which he still holds
He has a trace of Kaw blood in his viens
and is proud of his Indian ancestry. Ever
since he entered Congress, nearly twenty
years ago. Senator Curtis has made a spe-
cialty of Indian matters, and he is regarded
as the first authority in either branch of
Congress or all matters relating to the
various tribes. For some years before the
dissolution of the five civilized tribes the
so-called Curtis act was the principal law
in the Indian Territory.
Next TO Senator Curtis Mr.. Sherman
took rank authority on Indian af-
fairs. 1t was under his craftsmanship of
the committee that legislation was enacted
for closing up the affairs of the five civil
Iized tribes. including the allotment of the
lands making of rolls of citizens and gen
orally paving the way for the admission
of the new State of Oklahoma The chair
manship of the Indian Affairs Committee
is not a desirable post. 1t means hard
work and plenty of criticism. Mr. Sherman
filled this difficult place with marked sue
cess. He made many summer excursions
to the Indian reservations.
When his name was suggested for Vice
President at the Chicago convention in 1908
his most enthusiastic support came from
Western States, where he was known on
account OF his work the Indian Affairs
Committee. He had the solid vote of Okla
homa, his nomination being seconded by a
delegate from that territory. He received
the votes of all the territories in the con-
vention.

Congressman Loudenslager, secretary Of
the Republican Congressional Committee, in
charge of the Eastern headquarters in the
St James Building, speaking of the stu
alton in Kansas and Iowa yesterday, said:
You never could tell about Kansas. 1t

whether it would be Populist. Republican
or Democratic. AS for Iowa, that situation
is more serious. 1 never before heard Of

picture of the Republican President the

Asked as to whether the administration
of President Taft would be the issue in the
coming Congress campaign, Congressman
Joudenslager replied: 'Republicanism will
be the issue, the Republican party and Re
publican principles. President Taft has
made a wonderful record. and people will
realize 1t more fully some day.
Congressman Mckinley, chairman of the
Congressional Campaign Committee. is eN-
pected at the headquarters here to-day or

BALLINGER MAY STAY AWAY
Some Friction with Officials OF
Conservation Congress.
tBy Telegraph to The Tr,bune.]

Baltimore, Aug. At was learned to-
DAY from Bernard N Baker, president OF
the National Conservation Congress. that
the relations between Secretary Balinger
and the officials of the congress are some
what strained. Mr.. Baker said 1t was
doubtful If the Secretary would attend and
speak, and that the one dscordant note
In the correspondence he has received from
prospective speakers was contained in a
letter from Mr. Ballinger, which reached
Baltimore yesterday. The letter was brief.
and Mr.. Baker said there was something
about it which he did not like.
Mr.. Ballinger received a request to be
present at the congress and speak.
Whether this was sent at the time the
other speakers were informed could not
be learned. The Secretary, however, did
not receive it until few days ago, the
letter being forwarded from Washington
to Seattle His reply expresses surprise
at the fact that he had just received an
official notification that the congress is to
be held. and says it is extremely doubt
full whether, owing to the pressure of his
official duties, he will be able to attend.
1t was also learned from Mr.. Baker that
two tentative programmes have been made
for the congress. The first one contained
the names of some speakers who were be-
leved not to be desired by President Taft,
and as the presence of the President was
thought essential to the success OF the
congress a second programmes was re-
pared. Neither, however, was submitted
to the President.
Mr.. Baker will leave here tomorrow for
New York for conference with Mr.
Roosevelt. He has made several previous
visits to the Office of The Outlook" Mr.
Baker said that Mr.. Roosevelt was very
anxious that the President accept, and had
insisted that the big day of the congress
be the opening session, Presidents Day."

Cores Opposition to Contracts.

Explaining what led UP to his op-
posing the approval of the contracts
with the Indians. Senator Gore said that
as far back as 1905 he wrote letter
TO Senator La Toilette calling attention
10 the great wealth of the coal and as
phalt lands owned by the Indians.
He said the Geological Survey had es-
timated the mineral deposits to be
worth S160,000O00 In 1865. he said.
McMurray had obtained contracts with
the tribes OF Indians for the sale Of the
lands on q 10 per cent basis. In 1903
President Roosevelt had registered his
disapproval Of the contracts.
In the same year McMurray obtained
contracts individually with ten thousand
Indians, there being at that time no law
against the execution Of contracts with
individual Indians. II was this condi
ton that induced him TO introduce q
resolution in Congress declaring that all
Indian contracts must be approved nv
Congress before they became valid
"McMurray then came to nv office :.
said the Senator. Il told him | had no
objection TO just attorneys fees. but

April 2S'' said Mr. Gore The Presi-
dent stated that ex-senator Long had
already submitted the matter to him,
and that Mr.. Longs clients. meaning
the McMurray interests might have
their day in court. / think the Presi-
dent said everybody might have his day
in court, but that it would take a good
deal Of argument TO convince him that
the amount Of fees asked for in the con-
tracts $4,000 900 was just In fact. 1

NEEDLEWoRk NOTES.

Just scrap of beautiful oriental
embroidery will give the artistic effect
which is really the making of whole
costume, but it takes an artist to
know lust how to use that scrap of
color to advantage. If put on with
the required dizziness. the gold or sill
yer will have a telling effect. Oriental
embroidery is now used on the backs
of waists quite as much as on the
fronts.
When you get sick of eyelet work
and lace insertion in linen collars and
jabots, here are a few hints of what
can be done in that line: French laid,
padded dots, Wallachian, Venetian
ladder, Italian cutwork, soutache
braiding, cable stitch is1nit. Every one
of these is seen on modish collars, ja-
bots and belts and can be used by the
clever needleworker who is tired of
1.-THE same old thing"
A coat suit from a former season
may be Temodeled and transformed in
to the present style with the aid of
new pattern chosen With judgment
from the many new patterns of the
current season. If, for instance, the
old coat has three sections in the back
and two in front, a new pattern should
be selected having only three back
sections and two front sections The
coat should be ripped apart, sections
cleaned sponged and pressed carefully
and the new pattern laid, section of
the pattern upon section of the coat,
keeping the warp of the material al
ways in mind, of course. A very slight
bias may perhaps be overlooked if
absolutely necessary The changes
are many times smaller than one
would imagine from the finished ap-
pearance of both styles.

End of IanaI GAMBLING.

Nevada, the state of divorces and
prize fights, has done away with legal
gambling 1t is likely too, that it has
done away with gambling altogether.
This rotten borough" among the
American commonwealth was the last
state to enact an gambling law.
And as if to offer compensation for
it's remissness, it has made it's law
strictar than those of the other states.
Gamblers Row in Reno is no more.
Goldfield knows not the roulette wheel
and the faro deck. Neither the effer-
vescent miner nor the innocent tender
foot can now part with his money in
those easy and Improbable ways. The
lid is riveted down SO tight on the sage
brush state that it is impossible even
to shake for cigars.
Nevada needs great deal of rehab-
ilitation. The anti gambling law is the
first step in the right direction A
thorough overhauling of the divorce
statute and q law against prize fight
ing should now be forthcoming so as
to enable Nevada, to hold up her head
with some self respect. There are good
people in Nevada but they are so wide
ly scattered that they find great diff =
Guilty in making their influence felt.
That they have won the battle against
the gamblers may be taken as an in
dication that the redemption of the
