President Sherman made tho fol-
lowing statement today regarding
the indian land contracts.
never heard my name men-
toned in connection with the con-
tracts which were the subject of
Senator Cores testimony yester-
day. ! mover had any interest Of
any kind in any Indian contract
other than the interest have for
years had in the welfare of the
Indians and which shall ever
have = no personal interest, l
mean. Tho story, so far as my
name 10 concerned, is without any
foundation whatever. If any per-
son has said I have any personal
interest in this or any othe Indian
contact, he has stated what was
not true"
Sherman further said he met
Hamon once four years ago on a
political matter, and had not seen
him since. He thought that il his
name had been mentioned in con-
neetion with the Indian deal the
mani, thing for Gore would have
been to have informed him of tho
matter.

ENGLAND'S PEACE
OF MIND DEPENDS
ON KINGS ACTION
will He Create Enough New
Peers to Give Liberals De.
sired Majority?
Generally Believed He Will Not
Comply.
THE SITUATION is UNCHANGED.

London, Dec. 16.-whether Eng
land is to be released from political
agitation and consequent business
stagnation, depends today entirely
on the creation of enough Liberal
peers by King George to give the
government control of the house of
lords.
1t is generally beneved by poii-
tieians that the king will refuse the
demand of Premier Asquith. THIS
will leave the situation unchanged
at the conclusion OF the elections as
II is practically the strength OF the
Conservatives and coalitions parties
will be the same as when the panlia-
ment was dissolved.
Returns give the government coal
ition 353 seats and the Unionists
257. The government majority is
SO.
Clearly in the new parliament as
in the last, the Nationalists by COM
bining with the unionists could over
throw the government. but the Liber-
ais, Laborites and Nationalist are
all equally DESTROYS of abolishing
the veto power of the house of lords.
and may be expected to work to-
gether to attain that object
