GEORGE SCOTT TEsT|R|Es
Before the Gore Investigating Com
mittee, Now Sitting In Sui
phur, Oklahoma.
tHerald Specfal.t

Sulphur, Okla, Aug. 12.-For the
first time since the investigation into
the Gore charges started in Oklahoma
the far sex was represented by the
presence of a number of wealthy wo-
men. In the crowd present at the
hearing today were women, Indians,
congressman and other spectators.
George Scott, son-in-law of Chief
Green McCurtain, was the first wit
ness called this morning. He denied
that McMurray was to pay him for his
services in behalf of having the Nc
Murray contracts approved, saying
that he was interested only in a gen.
eral way in seeing the Indian affairs
settled. He made this declaration in
the face of the fact that it was shown
that he had given up his position as
McCurtain's secretary at salary of
$500. Scott said he was not reim-
bursed for the payment of kilograms
sent to Washington or for his trip
there in the interest of the contracts
The evidence this morning tended
to show the simplicity of the Indians.
When Scott was on the stand it was
shown that the Indians were willing
to sign away their rights to millions
of dollars where they would be I'M
willing to sign tax contracts because
the latter calls for the immediate
payment of $40.

The committee on liquor traffic met

bills introduced at the morning ses-
sion.

afternoon that he had advices from
Senator Bailey to the effect that he
would not be here tomorrow evening
to address the legislature.
Shortly after 8 o'clock quorum
was secured and the proposed amend
ment was defeated. Several other

stroying it's effectiveness. All we're
voted down and the bill was passed
