Standard Oil and other vast aggre-

Therefore they use their influence
with our government to prosecute the
enemies OF Diaz in this country.
During the past three years the po-

detective agencies in the employ OF
Diaz, Mexican detectives, Mexican con-

permitted to assume powers such as

$4,000 BRIDE
WAS OFFERED NE
SENATOR GORE
Oklahoma Man Says Syndicate Of
Lawyers Tried To Sway Him on
Indian Contracts.

WASHINGTON. June Ex-senator
Gore yesterday afternoon charged that
an attempt had ben made TO bride
him In the interest Of a syndicate of
lawyers who are seeking to enforce
Indian contracts that would yield them
a fee OF 100000 at the expense OF
the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians.
He made the charge ON the floor or
the senate.
Gore said he disliked to mention
that even anybody could approach him
ON such q matter but said he had
been approached by a man living In
his home town and an old friend.
This man intimated to him 1t would
be worth $4,000 IL he should use his
influence to keep in committee legis-
lation that would interfere with the
contracts. Gore charged that a men,
Der of the contract-holding syndicate
also attempted TO bride a member OF
the house.
Il appears from Cores statement
that this syndicate obtained individual
contracts with about 10000 Choc,aw
and Chickasaw Indians to collect as
their agents In the sale by the Indians
Of the immensely valuable coal and
oil lands In the reservation OF the two
nations.
The percentage for the agents Il the
contracts should be carried out was
placed by Gore at 100000. In order
to block the raid Gore introduced an
amendment To the general deficiency
appropriation bill providing that con-
tracts with IpGjans should not be
valid unless approved by congress.
The conference committee changed
the amendments so as to permit tie
president and secretary OF the In
terror to- ratify such contracts. The
amendment Is in such a form that led
Gore to exclaim:
Under this amendment the condi-
ton OF tho Indians would be ten thou.
sand times worse than under the pres.
emit law. II II is not changed the
amendment, intended to be a shield
for the Indians, will be converted into
q sword or dagger in the hands OF
their enemies"
Gore said that ex-senators of Ne.
braska and of Kansas were members
Of the syndicate holding the contracts
He declared that 1t was "a scheme to
perpetuate gigantic steal from the
defenseless Indians Of Oklahoma"
Gore said that Senator Hale has
promised that he should have q
chance to be heard on the subject be
fore the conference report on the gen
eral deficiency bill was adopted by tn,
senate. The report was adopted
by the senate. The report was adopt
ed, however. during his temporary
absence and was sent over to the
house for approval. Gore made mo
ton that the report be called from
the house, but the motion was laid on
the table by vote of the majority OF
the senate.

!. TAIAL FOR MURDER
Woman Is Charged With Staying Her
Husband in Pullman Car
s,... In the West. 49,

LIBBY, Mont, June 25.-Closely
guarded in a suite OF the leading MOTEL
in Libby, Mrs. Vera Prosser, who Is
facing trial for the murder of her hus-
band. spends her time collecting and
reading newspaper clippings concern
ing her case, and taking walks, gather
ing four-leaf clovers. She now has
several hundred OF these carefully pre-
served.
IL am sure these four-leaf clovers
are going to bring me good luck" she
said. IL am not superstitious ordinar-
lily, but now it's different, you know"
Mrs Prosser is not confined In Jail,
because Libby boasts of no such in
stitution. She is, however, confined TO
her rooms In the hotel and allowed TO
talk TO no one except her guard, who
stands watch outside her door.
Indications are that her trial will
be held in August, and she is smiling
and confident of acquittal.
Sentiment, which a month ago was
strongly against her, has veered about
completely. The lumber jacks and
the rough COW punchers of the ranches
have been won by her pretty, cheerful
face, her dainty frocks and her Won
derful self-possession.
Mrs. Prosser was arrested at Libby
on June 1. She and her divorced hus-
band, Reese II. Prosser, Seattle auto.
mobile agent, had left Seattle the day
before for the east on the same train.
He did not, however, know that his
former wife was on the train until
someone told him that she was In the
Pullman ahead.
Il don't care" he said II have
nothing to fear from her. I've fooled
her for years, although she's threat
ened TO kill me a hundred times and
guess I'll be all right this time"
Shortly before the train arrived at
Libby Mrs. Prosser went to the draw
ing room compartment occupied by
Prosser and later was seen by the por-
ter sitting on her former husbands
lap.
AS the train came to a stop at LIBBY,
Mrs. Prosser hurriedly left the car and
rushed to the telegraph office, where
she remained until the train pulled
out. A few minutes later, Prosser was
found in pool of blood, bullet hole
In his head. He died before regain
ing consciousness.
Mrs. Prosser was arrested almost
Immediately thereafter. She made
the coroner's jury wait two hours
while she dressed. Then she swept
into the room In wonderful gown,
wearing more than $4,000 worth of dia-
monds The coroner was a gruff old
fellow, and the jury was made up OF
cowpunchers wearing their guns. Lum-
Der jacks stood against the wall and
gaped at her.
Mrs. Prosser was cool. She In
formed the coroner that she would say
nothing until she consulted her lawyer.
And she didn't.
