WdSHiHStOH, ~. y. lOpeCldl) -
Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, dis
closed in the Senate what he in
terpreted as an effort to bribe him
in connection with legislation affect
ing the fortune in attorneys fees
claimed by j. F. McMurray, OF Okla
homa, for services rendered to the
Choctaw and Chickasaw nations in
land and town-site cases.
The charge created sensation in
the Senate, which later extended to
the House. The latter body in con-
sequence sent back to conference the
General Deficiency Bill, which car
ried an item relating to contracts
between the Indians and their at
torneys.
AS the result of the denouement,
Senator Gore finally involved a
member of the Senate Committee on
Indian Affairs, a member OF the
House Committee on Indian Affairs,
two former senators-one from
Nebraska and the other from Kan
sas-but whose names were not
made public in debate.
In response to a suggestion by
Senator Bailey that he should name
the Senate member of the Indian
Affairs Committee, Mr.. Gore de-
murred, but declared that he would
welcome an investigation of the
charges so that the whole matter
might be brought out before a body
which would be authorized to deal
with his allegation. 1t is not i'm
probable that such an investigation
will be ordered.
