TELLS HIS PART IN McMURRAY
DEAL. PRESIDENT R00SE-
WELT SPIKED lTHE CONTRACTS
lia iSUS. -
A Welcome Visitor of the Ex-Presi
dents.

Sulphur, OKLA, Aug. 1S.-What
part Cecil Lyon, republican national
committeeman for Texas, took in the
activity at Washington for the ap-
proval of the McMurray contracts
with the Indians, was described by
Mr.. Lyon in the hearing, before the
congressional Investigating commit
tee today. The old contracts were dis
approved by President Roosevelt in
1908. The new contracts, which have
caused the present Investigation, Mr..
Lyon said he had no interest in.
Asked if he was requested to join
in the old contracts, because of his
political influence and acquaintance
with President Roosevelt, Mr.. Lyon
said: rs it possible, but flatter my
self, 1t was partly my business abil-
ity.9
"But it was known that you were
a welcome visitor at the White
House?"
Eyes, | believe so.7
Mr.. Lyon continued, Il told Secre-
tary Garfield that my employment In
the matter was to be open and above
board, and if there was anything not
proper about the contracts, | would
have nothing to do with them. took
Iup the McMurray contracts purely as
business deal.'
after they were disapproved,
said Mr.. Lyon, II had nothing fur
ther to do with them. On the flool
of the house of representatives dul
ing the last session, Representative
Murray of Missouri unjustly attacked
me by saying that McMurray in lob
bying for the present contracts, was
ably assisted by myself. That state
ment was made either in Ignorance
or through desire to misrepresent
| I have done nothing for the contracts
now under investigation"

Sulphur, Okla, Aug. 15.-More de-
tails of j. F. McMurray's activity at
Washington in promoting his ten per
cent fee contract in the sale of $780,
100000 worth of Indian lands, were
related before the congressional in
vestigating committee today. w. B.
Johnson, former United States dis
trict attorney, testified to the dis
missal of certain indictments against
McMurray for alleged padding of
an expense account in the Indian land
cases. They were dismissed after
visit from Cecil Lyon, national re-
publican committeeman for Texas.
Lyon then became interested with
McMurray in the old tribal contracts
and visited President Roosevelt about
them.
Cub Ream an indian, testified that
he was prevented from securing the
position of delegate to Washington
for the Chickasaws because he op-
posed the McMurray contracts.

to meet train No. at Malta. Just
as the stub was crossing the boule-
ward in the vicinity of Malta the bolt
of an equalizer spring broke and 1t is
supposed that portion of the flying
pieces struck the washout plug on the
engine. This released the steam and
hot water and the scalding element
struck Bronson on his legs below the
knees. The cab was filled with steam
and Bronson scrambled to the top of
the coal pile on the tender. Suffer
ing both from the cold to which he
was exposed in his lofty position and
the pain of his scalded legs he was in

At the same moment a door opened
and Gibelin appeared. He was rather
