which are given the desired kink OF
curve on the cutting table. A sub
stantial cement foundation from a foot
and a half to two feet thick should be
laid for the structure and put deep
enough to extend below the post line

OF hollow blocks are laid in cement,
and between every other course. II the
hollow blocks are OF the small size.

gives added strength and stability to

about six feet cement braces extend
across the doorway. these being re-en-
forced with steel ties attached to the

commended for this silo. but this is not
vital. one Of metal or wood answering
the purpose very well. The advan-
tages of the hollow block silo are that

not warp and shrink when empty. that
II VIII not rot and that the dead air
spaces Of the wall make the structure
the warmest possible. The cost Of a

200 tons Of ensilage. will range from
$3.50 to $3.50. depending upon accessi-
bility Of materials. etc. A considerable
economy oan be effected where several
silos of this type are TO be built In the

WENT TO CIRCUS
Sheriff Tracy Permits ~ Trusties to
Go ungunr,lcd-au Returned TO
Cells after show Was over.

Montpelier, Aug. l0.-Much has been
written regarding tho humane policy
adopted by Sheriff Frank II. Tracy in the
treatment OF prisoners committed to his
charge, an1 new instance of his kind
ness accidentally came to light to-day.
Eleven prisoners in the Jail, who ordnar-
fly work outside. but who had no work to
do Monday were provided with tickets
to the circus. were placed on their honor
that they would return Immediately after
the show. and were allowed TO go with
out an escort. Some of these were long
time men, and the opportunity to escape
in the darkness and the crowd was ex-
coilent. Within 15 minutes after the circus
performance was over every man was
back in his cell al the Jail and all were
loud in praise Of The man who has won
their confidence.
OF the hundreds OF men Sheriff Tracy
has worked outside the Jail without es-
cor, in the past four years only two tried
to escape. They were caught, one OF them
after several months, and are now doing
time in penal Institutions.

Name of a Washington Attorney
Involved in the Congressional
Investigation.
FIVE PER CENT. HIS SHARE
Beside Adams It Is Testified That
Congressman Mcclure Was
In on the McMurray Deal
for S3,Oo0,ooo.

McAlester. Okla, Aug. 10--"1o, the
poor Indian" learned few more
things about the proposed sale OF s5o'-
900 worth of his land In the hear
/ ing before the congressional invesu-
lgating committee to-day. Congress
man G. n. Carter of the fourth Okla
homa district, testified that at an in
terview at the home of Richard G.
Adams, an attorney at Wa shinEton
Adams had said he had an arrange
ment by which he was to secure fve
per cent. Of the profits" to be de-
rived from the McMurray contracts.
'IIe also told me-" testified Mr.. car
ter, that Congressman B. 8. Mcclure
was in on the deal. and would get his
share. He also told me that pr.
Wright, delegate for the Choctaw
Indians at Washington, with a salary
of $4,000. was in on the deal He also
said we've got some others but he
didn't mention other names
Did Adams say he was going to

crossed him at other times. but this time
he was going to fix It so he wouldn't
lose out. and when McMurray got his 10
per cent, or $4,000 rL) or whatever it
amounted to, he (Adains) was going to
get five per cent. of tho proceeds.
II also met Jake l.. Hamon at Wash
ington. He told me to go to that old
man Gore and get him to withdraw that
| fool bill of his against the McMurray
contracts y
Congressman Carter, who is part
| Cherokee Indian and who was for two
years mer1ber of the House committee
on Indian affairs, was then asked:
"Do you think a majority of tho In
dlars are IN favor of these contracts
giving 10 ier 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 in
! fluenced TO do so by persons who held
an interest in them.
ADAMS OFTEN SAW TAFT

Indian, who frequently has been mention
ed as having called on President Taft in

the contracts, by which. according tC
Senator Gore. 10 per cent or s3oc1, 900
