UNCLE OF PoRTUGAL's KING
 TAKEN TO HELL's KITCHEN.
Wanted to See the Sights of New York-He Saw Them and Departed Quite Contents

New York, Aug. 8.-The Due de Montpensier. uncle of the king of Por- tugal and brother to the French pre- tender, went out to see the sights to- night-and he saw them-
 The dukes pilot was leading him towards Helps Kitchen, where it was promised he would savor ffavors he had never tasted before; but it was not necessary to go so far. Half a mile south of the notorious kitchen a full blown gang fight sprang into ex- istence, just in time for the duke to see IS much of it as re cared to view from the shelter of-a protecting door way. When the smoke of thirty re- volver shots cleared away, one man lay writhing on the pavement, and an- other limped to the nearest corner and fell. Uncertain figures could be seen hurrying off with the less seriously wounded.
 It was all vastly interesting and when the police arriyed-too late to make more than two arrests-he vot- ed to stay till the party broke up. So he and his guide went to the nearest police station, whither the two pris- oners and the wounded were first talk .en.
 Preparations for an ante-mortem statement were just beginning when the more gravely wounded of the two stood up and cursed the police
 .'Pn tell yer nuthin',' he swore, and then fell dead.
 The duke shuddered. He had hardly begun to recover his composure when the dead mans brother walked into the station house, and, seeing the duke beside the body, Inistook him for a prisoner under arrest
 White with passion. he 1eaped for his throat screaming: You did this You, I'll get you for it.
 Policemen caught his arms before he could strike a blow or close with the duke, but the noble Bourbon was visibIy shaken and called abruptly for a cab. Shortly after he left for his hotel quite content for one night with what he had seen of the sights of the Q ci5.iIiz.d .it.r of the z,zl,rld

McAlester Okla. Aug &-A charge that Congressman C. E. Creager Of the Third Oklahoma district had so- 1icited sums" of money from J. E. AIeMurray. holder of the Indian con tracts that are being subjected to a congressional investigation, was made by Jake L..Hamon before the special committee appointed by the house or representatives today. The charge de- veIoped in conn ection with the inquiry into Senator T. P. Cores declaration that he had been offered a $25,000 or s5O,0GG bribe to help put through con eress the AIcMurray deal, by which he asserted -McMurray and his associates would be able to obtain S3,00O.000, or 10 per cent, as attorneys fleets in the sale of 450,O00 acres of coal, asphalt and timber land now belonging to the Indians in this state Senator Gore said Hamon had offered the bribe in McMurray's behalf and Congressman Creager also had testified that Hamon had 'ssuggested'' that he (Creager) might gain an interest" in the con tracts if he helped to remove all op- position to their approval by congress and President Taft.
 Hannon Before the Committee.
 Appearing. before the committee to- day Hamon made the counter charge against Creager. He said the con- gressman had solicited money from McMurray during the pending in con gress of a bill which had been drawn
 
 Introduced. This bill provided for the sale of the surface lands to private individuals and for the sale of the mineral wealth to the government.
 Although the McMurray contracts were not referred to in it, the bill. HaEnon said. was so termed that Me- Murray might have been enabled to put in a claim for the attorneys fees. The measure, however, was not pass ed.
 Hamon Wants Creager Recalled.
 -I want MT. Creager recalled to the stand to answer these charges said Hamon. T want him to explain why, just after he introduced the bill, he went to McMurray and under the suise of loans demanded from McMur- ray large sums of money. T think it will throw considerable light on the Indian land situation at Washington if Creager is recalled and asked about his repeated dena nds of money from McMurrav- On being informed by Congressman Charles H Burke, chairman of the committee, that it was doubtful if Creager would be recalled, Hamon asked to be allowed to introduce wit nesses to testify to his charges. His request was taken under advisem ent.

signed the McMurray contracts allow ing 10 per cent. attorneys fees, De cause they had been impatient with the government.
 We have become used to the 10 per cent. idea declared Parke Anderson, a Choctaw. Most of the Indians in this state have to pay 10 per cent. on all debts and borrowed money. We have become so dependent on attor- neys that they have a hand in almost everything we do.
 Do you mean to say that to sell your land you are willing to give Mo Murray ss.Ooo,o0o or enough to hire all the lawyers in Oklahoma ?" asked Con gressman c. B. Miller.
 Anxious for Quick Sale.
 Yes. We have waited so long for the government to act that we would give 25 per cent. if that would cause a quick sale We need the money to develop the land on which we live"
 It was estimated by c. C. Choate, another Choctaw, that if his land was sold under the McMurray contracts his share would be s5,000, with a reduc- tion of $500 in fees Now he said, =.f would rather have s4.5oo while am living than wait till the government acts and get s5,0e0 when I'm dead"
 Why is it that, while you have at torneys paid on regular salary and approved of by the government you employ special attOrneys?"
 Because our regular attorneys get paid whether they work or not, While the special attorneys a contingent fee work because they expect to be paid.'
 Testimony by Battle Scared Choctaw.
 A singular appearance was present ed by Charles Laf1ore, Choctaw, who as captain of police has figured in many a battle of the plains. He had only one eye. three of his fingers were shot off and his body was covered with bullet wounds. Asked about the ac- tivity of McMurray's agents he related that he had been approached by George w. Scott, acting for McMurray, and had been induced to sign tele- gram the wording of which he himself had not dictated, this being tele- gram addressed to Richard c. Adams of Washington, an attorney. The sub stance of that telegram was that the Indians approved the contracts and asked Adams to call on President Taft and urge him to sell the land without delay
 Who did you think Adams was?"
 Why, I thought he was somebody with powerful influence who could go to the president and to congress and tell them what he wanted. We were not anxious to give up 10 per cent sell on that basis than not to get any to how matters stood at Washington, but we thought Adams would be able to fix things all right"
