tribe, answered, 4 don't remember y
before the special congressional in.
vestigating committee today, when ask
ed how it was that he was able to
deposit the $4,000 to his personal
credit few days after McMurray had
received $750,000 as attorneys fees.
Johnson had testified that he always
had approved of what are known as
the present McMurray contracts, which
provide for the sale of $30,000,000
worth of land belonging to the In
dians and which would allow McMur-
ray 10 per cent or $3,OOO,O00 in fees.
He also has urged other Indians to
sign hem.
He testified in what are known as
the citizenship cases several years
ago: taht he approved of contract in
which McMurray got a salary of $4,000
a year and $2,700 a year expenses.
A short time afterward he approved
of another contract of which McMur-
ray obtained for doing the same work
a contingent fee of $750,000. The lat
ter fee was to have been $1,500,000,
but was cut down one-half by the
governor.
"Why was it you were willing to
give McMurray $750,000 for doing
that for which he already was paid
'salary?" asked Representative c. B.
Miller Of Minnesota.

AROUND THE WORLD
Dr.. Simpsons Story of His Visits to the Countries of the
 Old World
Continued from last week.

Calcutta was a very unimportant place and had been founded by Job Charnock 60 years before. When Olive heard of the black hole incident he started for Calcutta. On the way he met the brave and high minded gover- nor who had fled down the river leav- ing his people to be destroyed He also met the doughty warrior, the com mander. in. chief, who had followed the good example set by the governor. He told those two gentlemen what he thought of them. He also told the authorities in England what he thought of them. Yet the English afterwards appointed Drake, the governor, to high position, higher than Give him. self held. Drake must have had pull with Jirl Hill. Give defeated Dowlah and drove him out of Calcutta. He would have followed him, but he had less than two to Dowlah's fifty thou sand. Dowlah allied himself with the French and Give concluded to depose him and appoint his general, Mir Jafer, in his stead. The agreement was signed, one Omachand, who was in the employ of Dowlah, doing all the dirty work. He was blowing hot and cold, was act ing as a spy both for Give and Dowlah. He was found out several times, but they could not get rid of him, as he knew too much. Give and the other members of the council drew up straw paper agreeing to pay a certain sum which he demanded for keeping quiet When all was over Omachand was told he could have nothing, and he had a spasm or paralytic fit. Give met Sin | ajah Dowlah on the field of Plassay. He had 5000 men, one.third of them white. Dowlah had sixty thousand, several regiments being French. None of his officers trusted him. The Eng 1 fish were winning the fight and Mir Jafer drew off with about half the army. Give crowded the rest, and traitors advised Dowlah to run for it. He rushed to his palace, gathered up as many wives as he could take com fortably and fled for safety. But his own people, those whom he had mutil- ated, tortured and ilI.treated, followed and took his wives from him and he spent the next three or four days dy ing. He was not worrying about the presidential election or Joe Cannon's troubles, as he had other things to think about They pulled off his finger and toe nails one by one, drew his teeth, trimmed off his fingers, toes, ears and nose half an inch at time, burned patches in his skin and did other little playful things which probably amused both him and them When he died his body looked like a great beef roast ready for cooking. It was paraded about the town for day or two and it was found necessary to afiX label and have the crier call out from time to time that it was the body of the late Sinajah Dowlah. He died aged twenty six.
 Mir Jafer was appointed Nawab and it gave England virtually control of Bengal. Give went back to England and Warren Hastings followed his foot steps and policy. The men had much in common-both began as clerks, both were small men, brave, had giant intel lects and strong wills. Both were honest and tried to put down grating; both were treated by their country with base ingratitude. Sixteen years after

URION ENTERS DENIAL
WHEN PUT ON STAND
Counsel for Armour & Co. Declares
He Did Not Hinder Eosf
Inquiry.

Chicago. - A general denial of
all the charges made by the federal
grand jury against him was entered
by Alfred R. Urion, general counsel
for Armour & Co., on the witness
stand before Judge Kenesaw M. Ian
dis. He denied having attempted to
obstruct the investigation into the
beef trust" and denied that he had
conspired to block the grand jury's
demand that stenographers' notebooks
be turned over to it by ordering them
destroyed.
The general counsel displayed a
lack of knowledge as to the exact time
these mysterious notebooks became
fuel for the furnace, as did w. w.
Shaw, chief stenographer and custo-
dian of the books, who followed him
on the stand. Much uncertain test1-
mony concerning the time of the de-
struction Of the books crept into the
records, and the problem is still en-
veloped in a dark cloud.
Mr.. Urion denied emphatically that
he ordered the stenographers' note
books, which the grand jury wanted
destroyed He denied that he knew
the books were wanted and further
denied that he even knew that Mr.. Ed
lmunds, head of the stationery depart
ment, had been subpoenaed to ap-
pear.
Charges that third degree" meth
DDS were employed in the federal
grand jury room, hurled at the fed

Mayer, marked the hearing of evil
dence in the charges of obstructing
justice against Urion and employees of
Armour & Co. Legal representatives
engaged in hot debate regarding the
admission of certain grand jury testl-
mony as evidence, and time after
time Judge Lands himself took
hand in the verbal fray.
While Patrick ]. Lofts, a janitor
employed by Armour & Co., was on
the stand and was being examined by
Special Assistant District Attorney
Wilkerson it was sought to show that
in his testimony given before the fed
eral grand jury Lofts set the date on
which he burned the stenographers'
notebooks. He at first denied that
he had set Friday, August 5, as the
positive date, but later admitted it
and then became hopelessly tangled

MINERS IN TUMULT.
Lewis-WaIker Controversy Throws In
dianapolis Convention Into Uproar.

Indianapolis, Ind Tumult broke
out in the special convention of
the United Mine Workers of America
which in measure foreshadowed the
coming battle over the Illinois coal
strike contest between President T. L.
Lewis and District President John S.
Walker.
the uproar followed a statement
made by M. F. Purcell, member of the
international executive board from
Montana, that he mot only opposed
the Illinois compromise proposition,
but caused the adoption of an amend
ment to refer its compromise to the
Illinois strikers for adoption or re-
lection"
This statement brought nearly half
of the delegates to their feet and in
their enthusiasm over the position
taken by Purcell, yelled and cheered
themselves hoarse. So great was the
noise that it could be heard far down
the street and when President Lewis
raped for order and attempted to
read from the record the words of
Board Member Purcell at the "compro-
mise conference" the noise increased.
President Lewis was forced to aban-
don the attempt to read from the rec
ord, devoting several minutes by
means of vigorous use of the gavel to
restoring the gathering from howl
ing mob to an orderly, deliberative
body.
After a semblance of order had
been re-established and the noise had
subsidized sufficiently to be heard, Pres
ident Lewis fired a broadside into the
camp of his opponents.
There is one man in this conven-
ton that you are not going to excite,
said he, land that's the man who is
holding the gavel."
