hand to take advantage OF opportuni.

his ability to bring about sale, sent
agents among the Indians to secure
individual signatures to agreements
giving him ten per cent OF the pro-
ceeds If he effected a sale. He paid

natures. A majority Of the Indians

ment should do without pressure, and
then paying special attorneys to do
what the regular attorneys were paid
for. The Indians are still, so their

other ninety. McMurray made des'
perate effort to deliver the goods.
His associates are alleged to have Of
fered money or shares OF profits TO
Senator Gore, Congressman Creager
and possibly others, for support or
passivity. They claimed also to have
the backing of certain high officials,
though Senator Curtis testifies that
both he and Vice-Fresident Sherman,
whose name has been brought into the
case, opposed the McMurray contracts
as involving excessive fees The d.

Murray and his agent Hamon must

On the other hand, the implication OF
Senator Curtis and the vice president
may prove to be altogether unjust to
them. But II certainly Is high time
that the whole matter OF congressional
and departmental relations to Indian

Anyone who knows Senator Gore
will vouch for his honesty Of purpose
and his truthfulness According to
Senator Cores testimony, one Hamon
the former republican national com

to bribe him to prevent legislation that
would virtually kill the McMurray con
tracts for s3,000,O00 fee for the sale
of the Indian coal and oil lands Mr.
Hamon denies II, but his denial will
hardly convince sensible people that
Senator Gore concoeted the story. The
evidence that corruption was afoot Is
strongly circumstantial, and in several
respects is confirmed by the testi-
mony of Senator Cores secretary and
of his brother Then, there is the en-.
tirely independent testimony Of Rep
resentative Creager that an attempt
was made by Hamon to influence his
vote by promises of a share in the
