lannon's Story as Told to the Investi-
eating Committee.

Muskogee, Aug. 6-For four hours
HamOn, former chairman of the Okla
homa state Republican committee, en-
tered a continuous series of denials
before the congressional investigating
committee relative to his alleged rela-
tion with what are known as the Nc
Murray contracts by which, according
to Senator Gore. s., 600, 900 or 10 per cent
of 100000 to be realized from the
sale of Indian lands to a New York
syndicate was to be diverted from the
Indians in the shape of attorneys
fees" Hamon also answered Congress-
man c. E. Creager with a denial. Re
plying to the congressman's charge
that Hamon had suggested that an
Interest in the contracts might be
available to the congressman, if the
latter helped remove opposition to the
congressional approval Hamon testi-
fed:
TT was just this way: was down
here in Oklahoma. attending to my
business when a friend told me Creager
had said I had approached him inn
properly in regard to the McMurray Y
contracts So 1 hoped on a train and
went to Washington. 1 got hold of
Creager and said, Look here, you know
never said any such thing Then
Creager said:
Nov, Jake that certainly was the
impression 7 got-that you suggested |
might get an interest in the contracts
1 replied:
&" you certainly are mistaken Then
Creager said: Well. if you say I
shouldn't, 1 won't go before the in
veStigation committee down at Mus
kogee and testify that you approached
me-"
Among lannon's denials were the fol-
lowing:
He denied that he ever at any time
had been closeted with Senator Gore in
the senator's private office at Wash
ington to urge the approval of the con-
tracts.
Vice President Sherman, Senator
Charles Curtis of Kansas, or Congress
man B. s. Mcclure as being inter

He denied he had ever spoken OF a

or that he ever was interested IN the

He denied that at the time the con-
tracts were being discussed he had call

He denied he had ever said:

SCOURGED BY CHOLERA.
Deaths in Russia Number 6,944 in One
Week.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 6.-Russia's s
scourge. the cholera, continues to
spread with alarming rapidity, partic-
ularly in the southern mining districts
and in ST. Petersburg, where the con-
ditions are fast approaching the pro-
portions of the great epidemic of 1908.
Figures furnished today by the central
sanitary bureau show that in the week
from July "a to July 80, there were
1924 cases of cholera and 6,944
deaths. OF these 4,870 cases and 2,233
deaths were reported from the prov
ince of Yekaterinoslav and the terri
tory of the Don COssacks in south Rus
sia.
A report from the United Mine
Owners association covering As mines
and four foundries gives 2,970 cases
and 1850 deaths. The extent of the
panic among the miners is shown by
figures furnished from IS mines from
which 1900 of the 46, 900 employees
have fed.
In answer to the appeal of the as
sociation for special measures to check
the epidemic and stem the panic,
which threatens to stop the produc-
ton of coal and iron in south Russia.
the government today decided to send
to the mining region a special COM
mission to study the situation and en-
powered to organize sanitary preven-
tive work. ,--.-.-.
The provincial assembly of Yekater-
inoslav today assigned 100000 for the
cause.
The desertion of work by the labor
ers extends also to the railroad en-
ployes and the workmen in the ports
in south Russia threatening to cripple
export movement of gain. Advices
from Yekaterinoslav report that trans
portation of crops is at standstill.
The epidemic continues to make
enormous progress in the capital where
the daily average of cases jumped last
week to thirty Yesterday 1872 cases
or suspected cases were taken to the
hospitals and there were so deaths.
The hospitals now contain 962 cases.
The high record in 1908 was 412 cases
per day.
The outbreak of bubonic plague at
Odessa, however, against which Aus
tria, Roumania, Bulgaria and Turkey
have instituted strict quarantines, is
not spreading
It is noteworthy fact that the
cases of the plague were first report
ed from a body in the same house in
which the epidemic of bubonic plague

Oklahoma Indian land deals were
made before the congressional investi-
eating committee today. d. C. Nc

there I was introduced to Cecil A.
Lyon, national Republican committee
man from Texas. When Lyon left, Nc
Murray said, I have decided to give
you $25,0O0 if you will not oppose
these contracts. If the contracts go
through just as they are you get the
money. If our profits are cut down,
then your money will be cut down in
proportion -
McCurtain said the offer took place
at the Raleigh hotel at Washington.
THE terms were that McCurtain was
not to oppose the approval of the con-
tracts by the secretary of the interior
and by the president said the wit
ness. THE contracts were held by

of Choctaw and Chickasaw lands, said
to be worth from $50, O,OOO, 900 to $780,

McCurtain continued:

CUDAHYS may SPLIT.
Private Detectives Said to Be Gath
ering Evidence for Both.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 6.-A visit
of detectives to the Cudahy home, 100
East Thirty-sixth street, and their
qestioning of the. maids there about
Mrs. Cudhay's conduct in the home
and her treatment of the children, has
given rise to the report that an ac-
tion for divorce is contemplated by
Jack Cudahy Also, the report has
come that Mrs Cudahy has employed
detectives to collect evidence against
her husband to use in a petition for
divorce. r. ]. Ingraham, attorney for
Mrs. Cudahy, did not deny that such
efforts were being made by Mrs. Cud-
ahy. Mrs. Cudahy, however, denies
that she has taken any steps toward a
legal separation from her husband.
Maids at the Cudahy home said that
men who said they were detectives
called at the Cudahy home and asked
them questions about Mrs. Cudahy's S
conduct before the cutting incident in
say for whom they were collecting the
evidence.
81 haven't heard a thing about any
action being brought by Mr.. Cudahy,''
Mrs. Cudahy said at her home, land I
don't believe any action will be
for bringing any action. Mr.. Cudahy
and L have corresponded in an indi-
rect way, but he never has mentioned
a divorce. l don't believe he would
say anything about it if he were to
bring such action. 1 haven't employed
detectives. I believe he knows that
am taking good care of the children
and besides he sees them every time
he is in town. I send them down in
our machine and Mr.. Cudahy brings
them back in a taxicab. There is no
prospect of our ever living together
again.
1t is generally believed that the
Lillis incident in the Cudahy home last
April is not to be made a factor in
the action for divorce.

KISS ENDANGERS BABY.
InfantiIe Paralysis Is Transmitted by
Caress, Says Expert.

New York, Aug. 6.-Lots of moth
ers will not take kindly to the advice
not to kiss the baby on the lips, but
the advice was given today by an ex-
pert, DR.. William H. Parker of the
department of health who is doing
special research work on germ dis
eases at the Willard Barker hospital.
The saliva and the blood are the two
avenues for carrying the dreaded and
mystifying germ of infantile paralysis.
Doctor Flexner of the Rockefeller
institute now is trying to get this
elusive germ in hand, says Doctor
Parker. He is taking the brains of
living monkeys and injecting them
with the brains of the human victims
of the disease. The monkeys will suf-
fer, but their sufferings show the trail
of the enemy of babykind. Some day
the paralyzed monkey may open the
way to the saving of many little lives
from the agony of para1ytic life.
Two years ago there was an cpl
demic of infantile paralysis in New
York. The epidemics come period
ically. So far they can not be con-
trolled, for the men who make the
researches in science have not been
able to uncover the germ. But it Will
be safe to kiss the baby on the cheek
or forehead, mothers.
