Disapproved of
McMurray
Contracts

NOP0SidA " tuo OpdulSu AmeIlSdHJ
Muskogee, OKLA, Aug. 6.-Not on
ly United States Senator Curtis If
Kansas, but also Vice President Sher-
man disapproved of the contracts, by
which an attorneys fee' of three
million dollars was to be allowed in
the sale of $50, 900 worth ofaCg. Fl
the sale of $30,OOO,OOO worth of In
dian lands in Oklahoma.
This assertion formed the SUB
stance of the testimony given by Sen
ator Curtis today before the commit
tee appointed by the house of repre-
sentatives to investigate what is
known as the McMurray contracts.
Senator Curtis related the details of
a conversation that took place in the
White House last April between Pres
ident Taft, Vive President Sherman
and himself The Senator explained
that he was member of the senate
committee on Indian affairs, had been.
for fourteen years member of the
house committee, and that Vice Presi-,
dent Sherman had been chairman OF
the house committee.
"The president" said Senator Cur
It's, suggested the possibility of re-
opening the question of Indian enroll
ment. 1t seems that there are about.
fourteen thousand claimants who as
|sert that they are Indians and who are
left off the rolls. told the president
that it would be serious mistake 70
reopen that question. The president
then asked about McMurray, and
what we thought of allowing ten per-
cent as attorneys fees. Both Mr.. Sher
man and replied that we did not be-
lieve that the Indians needed any at
torneys on the basis of ten per cent,
or on any other basis. We called at
tention to the fact that treaties be-
tween the Indians and the government
called for the sale of the land by the
government, and that no counsel was
needed"
I'VE pointed out" he continued,
that to give attorneys fees simply
would deprive the Indians of that
much profit guaranteed them by the
government. That formed the SUBJ
stance of our talk"
| More charges of attempted bribery
in Oklahoma land deals were made be
fore the congressional investigating
committee today D. C. McCurtain, a
Choctaw Indian, son of the governor
of the Choctaw nation and attorney
for that tribe, testified that ]. F. Nc
Murray had offered him $4,000 not
to approve the land deal.
"That has become the actual belief
That they nave TO give up a good POI
tion Of what they get in attorney:
fees replied Holman.
4 In statement to the committee
and without going on the stand to-
day, McMurray declared that the con
tracts came to him originally agains
his desire. He said that the Indians
at war council" had demonstrated
, their impatience at the govern
ment's slowness in selling the LAM
and had called upon him to take tn
! job at ten per cent, which he di
9 with reluctance.

Ways to Serve Oysters

ing large oysters raw at a womans
luncheon. Most women prefer blue
points or cherry stones.
Raw oysters are more palatsble on
their own shell than on handsome
oyster plates. They must be thor
oughly chilled. and preferably should
rest on a bed OF shaved ice.
The lemon with raw oysters should
be cut m quarters in the rind. or in
the center OF the shell circle have
half lemon with the center partially
filled with horseradish.
II Is more fashionable now to serve
oyster cocktails I'm the shells with a
small slender glass Of the sauce in
the center OF each plate.
Fried oysters for home use are
more delicate when done in bread
crumbs than IN cracker dust. They
should only be dipped once in the
egg and crumb. otherwise they are
too stiff and crusty. Butter is a bet
ter frying medium than deep fat.
For creamed oysters do not cook
them too long in the mixture or they
will be tough. The edges should just
shrivel. These can be served in
rameskins or pate shells, and they
are excellent when creamed In a
chatting dish.
Epicurcs do not like the flavor OF
oysters destroyed with seasoning.
Sherry is occasionally used for some
OF the mixtures, and a bit Of onion
is put in the milk for sauces, but
usually they need little more than
butter. salt and pepper
When oysters are left over from
stews or creamed mixtures they can
be chopped and used as salad or
croquettes. For the former the eye
must be removed, and It is better to
do so for any cooking where the
whole oyster is not essential.
The bacon that comes ready sliced
in boxes is convenient to use for
pigs in blankets Coysters wrapped in
a slice of bacon) when fried in a
chatting dish.
A good filling for pate shells is
made from oysters and mushrooms
cooked together with rich white
sauce.
