MANY ARE INVOLVED
Garter, Of Oklahoma, TELLS Of Big
Indian Land Scandal
Liberal Offers Made to Congressmen
to Push Crooked Deal
Thieves Fall Out.

McAlster, The "poor In
dian" learned few moro things abou,
the proposed sale Of $50, 900, 900 worth
Of his land in the hearing before the
congressional investigating committee
Thursday. Representative c. D. Car
ter, Of the Fourth Oklahoma district,
testified that In an interview at the
home Of Richard c. Adams, an attor-
ney at Washington, Adams had said
that he had an arrangement by which
he was to secure per cent Of the
profits" to be derived from the Nc
Murray certificates.
"He also told me-" testified Mr..
Carter, "that Congressman B. s. Nc
CURE was In the deal and would get
his share. He also told me that DR..
Wright, delegate for the Choctaw
Indians at Washington, with a salary
OF $6, 900, was in on the deal. He also
said: We got some others, but he did
not mention any other Names"
did Adams say he was going to get
5 per cent of all the money ]. F. Nc
Murray was to realize on the deal?"
asked Chairman Charles N. Burke.
Yes, he said he was going to make
sure of 1t, as McMurray had double
crossed him at other times, but this
time he was going to fix it 80 he could
not lose out, and when McMurray got
his 10 per cent, or $4,000, 900, or
whatever it amounted to, he (Adams)
was going to get per cent of the pro-
ceeds.
81 also met Jake L. Hamon at
Washington. He told me to 20 to
that old man Gore and get him to
withdraw that fool bill of his against
the McMurray contracts.
do you think majority of the In
dams are in favor of these contracts
giving 10 per cent to McMurray?"
"There. is no doubt that they are"
he replied. But there is also no doubt |
that in signing the contracts many
were influenced to do 80 by persons
who had an interest in them."
Adams was described as. a Delaware
indian, who frequently has been men
Toned as having called on President
TAFT in matters pertaining to Indian
affairs. 1t was Adams to whom the
indians in this state were asked to ad-
lress their kilograms urging President
Taft TO approve the sale of the lands.
Before Carter left the stand Nc
hurray's attorneys obtained from him
estimony tending to show that Nc
iuire in previous Indian matters had
Imported measures in congress oppos-
d to the interests of McMurray.
Carriers appearance on the stand fol-
owed another day of lively testimony.

TO the first man met stated NV

the hand as though was his iong-lost
brother.
You are the man for mel" be dc

new-found friend was Socialist. and

creed every time he caught sight of
his red tie in shop window. so. after
slight argument, he remembered a
previous engagement and vanished.

on my way. and presently met a nice
pretty girl, and to her I unfolded nv
philosophy.
I'm awfully glad you've told me"
she said. Il get so tired of all the

would tell me what he really thought

now. You say you get tired Of people
who say silly things to you. but really
you like them"
But 1t happened that she was a girl
who prided herself on being sincere
who explained to herself many times
daily that she only did conventional
things because "one had to-" and So
she was not at all pleased. She told
me In tones of perfect politeness that
was quite mistaken, and went of
to talk to another man who told her
what relief 1t was to meet some
one who was not afraid of calling
spade a spade.
But at last found an old lady. a
beautiful old lady. who was not in the
least ashamed of being old and look
Ing old. To her ! made. as in duty
bound. my declaration of absolute and
truthfulness. but in

she sat up and shook her finger at
me.

who want to pay the most outrageous
compliments begin like that, and I've
heard too many of them" And the
more protested my complete sincere

So what was ! to do? To try to be
sincere with myself was about the
only thing left. After a few more ex-
Deriences Of the same sort, which

and that these men would thus be
given an advantage over all other
candidates.
Whether or not Mr.. O'Neil is direct
ly responsible for that suggestion
could probably never be determined,
but he was chairman of the state
central committee, as he Is now, and
he has never to this hour condemned
that proposal. 1t was his duty, as
chairman, to put his foot upon it the
moment it made its appearance and
stamp the life out of it, but he never
lifted his hand to rebuke those who
insidiously promulgated this idea in
the hope that it would take hold and
lead to such meeting as the machine
people desired.
Mr.. O'Neil's record in this is some

BETWEEN TWO FIRES

Shippers in the Pacific northwest
are rather between two fires in the
fight of the western railroads to in
crease their freight rates, move
which the federal government has SO
far been able to prevent. The rail
roads unable to increase their rates
at once declared that they would
have to economic on expenses, and
$4,000 men have been laid off, some
4,5O0 of these being on the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern. Most of
the men laid off were on new con-
struction work, which has been prac-
tically suspended. The railroads
seem to be in deadly earnest. They
insist that while expenses have been
mounting year by year, labor going
up, material going up, fuel going up,
rates have not been increased, and
as result the margin between re-
ceipts and expenditures has dwindled
until it is hardly perceptible. Hence
the suspension of new work until
rates can be increased. Business men
in the Northwest are not yet willing
to concede the higher rates, yet they
hate to see a crimp put into general
prosperity by the stopping of rail-
road construction. The quicker the
rate question is settled, the better
1t will be for business conditions.

FATHER AND CHILD

When Lansdon gave his O'Neil-
boosting interview at Spokane he gave
his candidate credit for most all that
has been done by the present admin
istration.
Among other things, Mr.. Lansdon
declared that Mr.. O'Neil was the
father of the direct primary. He said
that after the last state convention
Mr.. O'Neil instructed republican
speakers to speak in favor Of the d.
rect primary system, and that, when
the legislature convened, he organic
ed movement which led to the en-
actment of the direct primary law.
Lansdon discovers many things in
his advocacy of Mr.. O'Neil. He
dreams dreams and proceeds to put
them into print. Mr.. O'Neil was new
er supporter of the direct primary.
He had nothing whatever to do with
bringing about the enactment of the
direct primary law. He is a machine
politician. While, so far as we know,
he did not openly oppose the direct
primary system, he was secretly OPP
posed to it. 1t was from him and
those Immediately associated with
him that the suggestion emanated
that we should hold a convention or
conference to recommend candidates.
This was put forth from Wallace. 1t
was intended to serve as the begin
ming of movement for annulling the
direct primary law. The idea was that
politicians all over the state would
join in such movement, hold a con-
vention and nominate their own men,
