TRIED TO BRIDE Z. S. SENATOR

Blind Senator Gore From Oklahoma
Charges That He Was Offered a
Bride of $4,000 to Withhold OPP
position to Attorneys Award in
Chickasaw-Choctaw Indian Claims
Recalls Case of Large Award of
$75O,OOO to Lawyers i'm Indian Ter
ritory.
Special Washington Correspondence
News and Observer of Saturday.
The North Carolina colony is much
interested in the charges that an eff
fort was made to bride Senator Gore
and member of Congress in con-
nection with legislation having for
its purpose the valuation of certain
individual contracts entered into be-
tween J. F. McMurray and the Chick
asaw and Choctaw Indians of Okla
homa.
1t will be recalled that Mr. McMur-
ray received for his law firm a fee of
$4,000 from the Citizenship Court,
of which ex-Judge Spencer B. Adams
was the chief Judge, for his appear
ance in land allotment cases.
Senator Gore fought the valuation
of Mr.. Murray's contracts with the
two Indian tribes, contending that
they were exorbitant, and would
wrongfully take three million dollars
in fees from the Indians Mr.. Gore
says a representative of McMurray
offered him fifty thousand dollars to
withdraw a bill that he had intro
duced to prevent the valuation of
the attorneys claims with the Choc-
taws and Chickasaws.

Officers F1ickered at the Critical Mo-
ment-IlIieit Liquor Selling ut New
Bern.
New Bern, -. C. June 25.-Last
Sunday night Rev. A. G. Schiller.
pastor of the Tabernacle Church.
made an assertion from his pulpit
that he had positive proof that there
were a number Of men in New Bern
who were engaged In the sale Of
whiskey and that there were men on
the city police force who were in
league with this Illicit business and
that he stood ready TO tell their
names al any time.
Last night Mr. W. ID. McIver. the
city attorney, had one of the local
magistrates TO issue a summons for
Rev. Schiller, compelling him 10 ap-
pear before him and divulge the
names of those who were engaged in
the sale of whiskey and TO also tell
the names of the officers who were
in league with them.
The hearing was set for II o'clock
and promptly at that time Rev
Schiller, in company with his attor-
ney, made his appearance at the mag
istrate's office. At 1870 the prose-
cutting attorney who had had the
warrant served, had failed TO make
his appearance and the hearing was
begun without him. Schiller first
read out the names of four men to
whom Government license had been
issue.
The magistrate asked him to tell
what he knew in regard to one Of
the policemen being connected with
this set Of men. Schiller then told
of conversation he had heard a few
days previous. At this juncture he
and asked the magistrate if
he should tell the name of one Of
ficer? The magistrate told him that
he could do as he chose in the mat
ter, and there the case ended.
The court room was packed with
spectators, and each one spoke his
of the entire proceeding,
and declared that the public was not
getting as quare deal.

BIG DEMOCRATIC FIGHT.
Democratic Officials Fight at Polls
CharlOtte's Chief of Police Sus-

Charlotte, n. c., June 24.-Re-
corder D. B. Smith, a candidate for
Solicitor in the Twelfth Judicial Dis
trict, and Chief-of-Police Christen-
bury had an interesting mix-up on
the streets just as the polls were
opening this afternoon, in which the
Recorder smote the chief across the
face with an umbrella, and further
damage might have resulted but for
the interference of by-standers.
1t seems that the Recorder had
been informed that the chief was
taking an active part at the polls, and
the Recorder requested Mayor Haw-
kins to have the chief desist. The
chief denies this stoutly, and told the
Recorder that he was a d-n lie.
Chief sChristenbury was suspended
by the Executive Board tonight I'M
til an investigation is held, the date
of which is next Wednesday, June

Lumberton, n. c., June 2S.-In

evening the congregation listened to
"a strong and powerful sermon deliv-
cred by the Rev. r. NJ. Hoyle, pastor
of that church, on the subject "The

utes of the discourse were devoted
by the preacher to the fact that a
Democratic primary, held in this town
the afternoon before, composed of
243 people, cast 315 votes.
Mr. HOyle says he saw one man put
in several votes at one time and
seems not to understand such pro-
ceedings. He, of course, came here
from another part Of the State and

Warrenton, n. c., June 2S.-The
sudden illness of Juror Hicks in the
Powell case may cause it to be de-
layed. The malady is a serious one
and it is very probable that mistrial
will result
The defense sprung a new sensa-
ton in the testimony of a daughter
of Powell. She testified that upon
the return of her father to his home
after the shooting, he lay down and
went to sleep while the crowd gath
cred. Upon awakening him he went
into the yard and he was fired upon
by Richard Kitchin, a relative of
Paul Kitchin, one of the men whom
Powell had shot. A bullet from
Kitchin's pistol passed through her
mothers hair, SCATTERING a pitcher
and spreading glass over the room.
Mrs. Powell was a bed-ridden invalid
who has since died.
Many witnesses were called upon
to show the cratic behaviour of the
old man, and the fact has been we'll
established that he is not mentally
responsible.
