HOW $4,000 FEE
WAS POCKETED
Attorney McMurray Denies
Distribution of Thousand
Dollar Bills
PRESENT ROLLS IMPERFECT
Names Wrongfully Listed and
Others Wrongfully Kept
Off.

Sulphur, Okla, Aug. 19-In the In
dian land investigation, by the Con-
gressional committee, J. F. McMurray
whose thirty million dollars contract
for the settlement and the sale of
Indian lands is under investigation,
was again on the stand. McMurray
was asked concerning $750,000 paid
him by the government as his fee in
what were known as the citizenship
cases. 1T has been said," explained
Representative c. H. Burke, that you
drew the money from the treasury de-
partment in Washington in the form
of thousand dollar bills, and that you
carried them in valise to a hotel
where they were divided between GER
tain persons. Is that the TRUTH" "It
is not" said McMurray. "A warrant
for $750,000 was handed me. My two
law partners and myself then went to
the Riggs National bank and upon sur
rendering the warrant we each re-
ceived one individual check for $780,
600. that is all there is to all these
stories as to what was done with the
money after it was paid over to u.s.
McMurray said the attempt to reopen
the government Indian rolls and
admit thousand claimants to parti-
cipate in the division of lands now
held in the reservation would be re-
sisted by the Indians at present on
the rolls. He told the committee that
a great many are now wrongfully on
the rolls and a great many are wrong
fully shut off, but any readjustment
should be done by special legislation
and not by the re-opening of the rolls

districts affected, particularly in the
town of Tani where the number of
deaths already number thirty.
Church Insists on Quarantine.
Rome, Aug. 19.-Rumors that the
cholera has spread to Rome are en-
phatically denied. Although the dan
ger of infection is not felt here, the
Pope today ordered the Lazarett Of
Santa Marta built inside of the Vati-
can by Pope Leo in 1885 during the
great cholera epidemic at Naples, but
never used because of the absence of
cholera patients, made ready for any
emergency. The influence of the
church is to be used to assist the
civil authorities in fighting the epi-
demic by forcing parishioners to com
ply with the sanitary regulations.
King Victor is preparing to proceed
personally to the stricken districts
where conditions have become more

The figures are those furnished by the
