TRY TO BRiBE CORE
Blind Senator Tells of
$4,000 Offer.
OVER INDIAN LAND DEL
Tells Colleagues Similar Offer Was
Made to a Congressman to Drop
Opposition to Recognition Of
McMurry Contracts.

Washington. June 25.-Senator Gore
startled the senate by announcing he
had been. in effect, offered a bribe oi
$O50,OOO to withdraw his opposition to
recognition OF the socalled McMurray
contracts for the sale Of Indian lands
in Oklahoma.
The senator went further and add
ed to this declaration the statement
that member of the house likewise
had been approached. This happened
on May last, two days after he had
introduced a resolution prohibiting the
approval Of the contracts.
"On May G." he said, "a representa-
tive Of McMurray came TO see me. He
was a man who resides in my home
town, man who had been friend In
time of need. He came to my office
aud assured me that ii would be to
my interest II would call on the sen
ator from Colorado and advise him
not to report the resolution. There
was a suggestion that $4,000 or $780,
600 would be available If the contracts
were not prohibited. And | am In
formed that a similar proposition was
made Thursday to a member OF the
house OF representatives"
Keeps Names Secret
Mr.. Gore did not mention the name
either OF the agent who approached
him or that of the member Of the
house He also declared that "an ex-
senator from Nebraska and an ex-
senator from Kansas are interested in
these contracts but in this instance
also he likewise failed to name the
men. without indicating other per
sonalitles, he added that there was a
large lobby here pushing the McMur-
ry interests.
Mr.. Gore announced that If the re
cessions of the senate from the amend
ent to the general dechlency bill was
sustained Mr.. McMurry would get $3.-
600 900 as his fee for the sale Of the
Choctaw and Chlckasaw Indian lands.
The amendments in question requi.ed
proper approval Of the contracts.
The declaration OF Senator Core was
preclpltated by the chairs declaring
out OF order his motion to reconsider
the vote by which the bill was passed.
Senator Gallinger met this motion
with one to lay the bill on the table,
which eventually prevailed without a
roll call.
On a plea of personal privilege Mr..
Gore then took the floor and unfolded
his tale OF attempted bribery. The
Oklahoma senator's announcement
was the subject OF decided comment in
the corridors of the capitol and an in
vestigatlon will follow.

AUTOMOBILE PL0W

An automobile plow is in use on the
Graham farms, in Indiana.
Behind the auto is drawn a gang of
eight plows, plowing strip of ten feet
wide each trip across the farm. The
auto, when plowing, travels at speed
of three miles an hour. After the first
trip across the farm it automatically
guides itself, and if the field be free
from stumps it could be started at one
end of the farm a mile or two long, and,
without anyone accompanying it, would
do the work perfectly.
Flowing thirty acres is regarded as
an average days work for the machine.
Thirty horses and fifteen men would be
necessary to do the same work. Only
81 of gasolene is required to feed the
engine day while in operation. All
of Graham's l,6O0 acres are in 200 acre
farms.

CUPID WINS IN RACE
AGAINST MOTORCYCLE
Dare Devil Derkum WedS and He
Promises Fair Bride to
Speed No More

There will be no more motorcycle
racing for Paul J. c. Derkum, better
known to followers of that sport as
Dare Devil Derkum.
At least, there will be no more after
o'clock this evening, for at that hour
he will be married to Miss Ruby b.
Lane of Hanford. The ceremony will
take place in st. Agnes church, Yer
mont and Adams street, the Rev. Fa-
ther Maloney reading the ceremony
The couple will hold reception at the
home of the bridegroom's parents, 1857
West Twenty-fourth street, immediate
ly following, and at o'clock will leave
in an automobile for San Diego on their
honeymoon.
The romance which brought Miss
Lane and the motorcycle racer to the
altar began some months ago, when
Mr.. Derkum went to Hanford to race.
Miss Lane Is an ardent lover of racing,
and was a constant attendant at the
track where her future husband was
performing his death-defying stunts,
and the pair became acquainted. Ac-
quaintance ripened into love, and it
surprised none of their friends to hear
that they we're to be married.
While Miss Lane rejoices in her pros
pective husbands achievements on the
motorcycle track, she has decided that
he has now laurels enough, and has
announced that after this evening he
will ride no more. At least, that is the
agreement both principals and their
parents have made.
The bride and groom will spend about
eight days in San Diego and vicinity
and will then return to this city to
live. They will be at home after July
16 at 1857 West Twenty-fourth street.
