Gail money is a little bit sitter this

serted shat the offer Of bribery went
so far that .HamOn said the 5000 or

that 1t would be all clean. hard cash."

ing:
That Hamon told him that a man
The Salt Lake herald-Republican. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1909-1918, 1910-08-05

An account OF that part OF Senator
Cores testimony referring TO Vice
President sherman follows:
Mr.. Burke-ln your conversation with
Mr.. Hamon. you stated he named a very
high official that he said was inter
ested in these contracts. You omitted
his name.
Mr. GOre-I say again that 1 should
very much prefer not to name him. 1
am, however, subject 70 the viii OF the
committee.
Mr.. Burke-The committee is here TO
get the facts and we must have all OF
this conversation.
Mr.. GOre-He suggested that Vice
President sherman was interested IN
the contracts.
Thomas H. Owen, counsel for Mr.
GOre-In that connection you spoke OF
an article appearing in Kansas City
newspaper that two gentlemen had
called on the President. / wish you
would say who was mentioned in that
article.
Mr.. Gore-In the newspaper OF April
IA, Vice President Sherman and Senator
Curtis were named as having called
TO discuss the segregation Of coal and
asphalt lands. I think before the SEN
ate met the next day, the information
came 10 me.
Senator Gore explained he believed
Vice President Sherman was favorable
TO the contracts and a short time later
he introduced a resolution in the Sen
ate that would require further action
OF Congress before the contracts could
be approved.
Congressman creager did not take
the stand until late in the day.
Asked If he had ever met HamOn, he
replied: Yes. 1 met him by appoint
ment in his rooms at the Occidental
hotel in Washington. He invited me
there. saying he wanted 10 talk over
little matter. At that time efforts
were being made 10 have the Presi-
dent approve the MeMurray contracts.
l already had gone on record as being
opposed 10 their approval Well, when
1 was got TO the hotel and sitting In
room with HamOn he began to 'Ige
me to withdraw my opposition. He
suggested / might have an interest in
Congressman Miller-Were any fig
ures mentioned? Did he say how much
interest you might have?
Mr.. Creager-NO; / did not let IL go
as FAR as that. made my language
pretty emphatic that I was opposed
to the contracts and would not be in
fluenced.
Congressman Stephens-You mean 10
say that you regarded the offer Of such
ton?
Mr.. Creager-Yes; that's it. I re-
garded 1T as an offer to influence my
attitude towards the contracts. 1t was
even suggested that call together all
the help 1 could and defeat the meas
ure opposing the approval OF the bills.
Congressman Mlller-What kind or
rooms did Mr.. Hamon ana Mr.. McMur-
ray have at the hotel?
Mr.. Creager-Oh, three or four front
rooms. Representative MCGUIRE of Ok
lahoma occupied part of the Hamon
and McMurray suite. 1 met HamOn
later at different times. When he
heard I was coming to testify before
this committee, he urged me not to-
lie expressed the hope that l would
make no statement before this COM

tracts, and that therefore there was
no reason why Senator Gore should not

higher up, HamOn had replied the vice
president.
That Hamon told him Senator Curtis

That Hamon told him Congressman
Mcclure OF Oklahoma was interested
IN the deal
That Hamon told him an emplOye Of
the department OF justice at Washing

he (senator Gore) knew the name of
the emplOye but would not dfvulge his
name or the name of his informant.

his position
That former Senator Long OF Kan

would take a good deal of argument to
convince him that the amount of the
fee asked by McMurray was justified"
Senator Curtis today sent a telegram
to the committee denying that ne was
IN any way interested in the contracts
and offering to appear before the COM
mittee. Chairman Burke said Senator
Curtis would be subpoenaed TO testify.

PLEADS NON vULT
TO SECOND DECREE
MURDER CHARGE

Following a clash in court between
Prosecutor Wilbur A. Mott and Samuel
]. Mendes, of ounsel for Dorninick
| Popola, during which Mott said This
| mans (Mendes) word Is as value ess
as that of any man l ever deal with"
A plea of non vult to murder in the
second degree was accepted by Judge
Jay Ten Eyck in the Court Of Oye-
and Terminer today.
The clash between the lawyers came
when Mendes baked on pleading his
client to second degree murder, which,
according to Mott, he had agreed to do
after a consultation between Borden
D. Whiting, assigned by the court to
defend Popola; Mendes and Mott yes
terdax. when arrangements for the plea
were made.
Early today Mr.. Whiting was at the
Court House, and again agreed to allo y
the prisoner to plead. He then left for
Elizabeth. When the prisoner was
brought into court Mendes objected to
a plea being accepted.
This man is simply trying to work
an old game on me- said Mott to
Judge Ten Eyck. He thinks l am not
ready for trial, on account of postron-

trial, and move to have the case go on"
Mendes protested that he was not
ready for trial and could not go ahead.
He finally consented to the non-vult
plea.
Popola on Saturday afternoon. March
26, went to the home of his mother, POI
Van Buren, street, from his work. He
became angered because his mother did
not have a clean shirt ready for him,
and, rushing TO a drawer, pulled out a
revolver and shot point blank at his
mother. The bullet entered her breast,
inficting a wound from with she died
the following night at st. James's Hos
pital.
Popola was remanded to Jail today
after pleading to await sentence, which
will probably be given him next Mon
day. The limit for the offense to which
be pleaded is thirty years imprison-
ment.

According 10 revised schedule No. 8,
effective today, the three-story frame
house that formerly occupied the lot
at 80 Pacific street, is due TO resume its
journey to n lot near Adams and
Chestnut streets. That the structure is
likely to make another effort to reach
it's destination is due almost entirely to
the indulgence of the Board of
Works, whose members, after a long
consideration Of the matter yesterday,
voted to allow the movers n more
chance to get tho house on its way.
The owner OF the house, Philip jack
son, Of 245 Walnut street, was required
to deposit a cash bond of $500 today to
indemnify the city in the event of any
damage being done to the streets
through which the house win have TO
pass in it's journey. Mr.. Jackson does
not try to conceal the fact that he Is
thoroughly sick of the whole undertake
ing and he can foresee that if the house
ever does reach its destination 1t will
have cost him more than he can ever
hope to get out Of his investment.
The extension expired on Saturday
last and the house had progressed only
about a hundred feet from its original
site. General Superintendent Hallock
had meanwhile looked the situation
over and arrived at h conclusion tina

at the rate the house was moving it
would take months to complete the
work. He therefore notified the owner
that no further extensions Of time
would be granted ana that this morn
ing the city would begin to tear the
house down, as it completely obstructs
Nichols street and ovsrlaps the euro
line on both sides Of the street.
This notification brought Mr.. Jack
son before the Board of Works yester-
day and he made a long plea for a little
more time. The board wss not at first
favorabiy inclined, but after a While
the ten-day extension was allowed.
Then, too, the Shade Tree Commits
sion may deem it advisable to take a
hand in the matter, as a fine row of
elm trees in Nichols street seems des-
tined to suffer If the present methods
are not improved upon. At present the
house stands %diaRonally across Nichols
street and the upper story is directly
In line with many of the larger
branches Of the trees that it will be
necessary TO pass.
Whatever may be the outcome of this
particular case it is very evident that
the Board of Works will go slow in
granting any more house-moving per-
mits where long stretches are to be
covered and where so many side issues
are to be taken into consideration.

and gifts for the benefit of aiding little
mes aggregating s141 have been re-
ceived for 1.-THE STARS Free Ice and
Outing Fund since yesterday.
There is now 81, 1925 in the fund, and
as its disbursement was begun yester-
day through the distribution of free
ice tickets the mount on hand cannot
grow too rapidly. 1t is hoped that the
fund may be completed and closed
much earlier this year than was the
case in II preceding year, so that the
entire campaign for the relief of the
babies may be mapped out in advance.
A most welcome check for $50 was
received today in the following letter:
