SLUMP IN THE AUTO BUSINESS
Notwithstanding Boosting Efforts
of Manufacturers.

New York.-Indications point to the
bottom having fallen out of the auto
mobile, business. The manufacturers
it is reported in trade circles, are
making strenuous efforts to keep up
a show of continued prosperity, but
it is also said that they are not sell
ing their product, but are storing ma
chimes throughout the country at their
various agencies to prevent the pub
lie realizing the true conditions of the
market.
Several large concerns are laying
off men and giving all sorts of rea-
sons for so doing except the state
ment that they are overstocked. Two

Gently closed entirely, ostensibly for
the purpose of taking inventory, but

these factories will again be in oper-

Is per cent. to so per cent. less than
present list prices within the next
two or three months. He added:
1.-The trouble with the automobile
business is hat the farmers and peo-
pie of the smaller cities and towns
have not taken as kindly to the idea
as was anticipated. The farmers find
that the cost of keeping them in re-
pair and operation is more than the
cost of keeping horses to perform the
same work, and while there was, for
a time, a tendency among the farmers
to invest in the machines, the demand
for cars from this class of buyers has
practically stopped, and l venture 20
say we will not again sell to the farm
ers to any extent until prices are ma
terially reduced"

in his brothers private Office at moor
on May s, when Hamon appeared.
Il stepped into an adjoining office
and left the senator and Hamon alone
except that once in a while | went in
and out. When they quit talking, in
about 80 or 40 minutes, Hamon came
out into my room.
well, Dick" he said, 'the senator
is getting awfully hard on his friends.
/ want to make a lot OF money, Dick,
and I don't care how / make it." l
did not know then what they had been
talking about, but when Hamon left
the senator said he had been talking
about the McMurray contracts and
Hamon had offered him $25,000."
THE senator said Hamon offered to
increase the amount. That's all that
was said to me about the matter at
that time. Later McMurray came to
me and said he was sure the senator
did MOI understand those contracts and
"ISaEo liz htG" Va Sot1C way VI q
ing him understand. He invited me to
the hotel to talk it over. He also
wanted to know if / would attend a
frog leg banquet which he was ar
ranging. / declined all of these invi-
tations."
J. Leroy Thompson, st~enographer to
Senator Gore, testified he also was in
and out of the senator's DOM when
Hamon was present. He too was in
vited to the frog leg" banquet, he
said, but declined.
That the Choctaw Indians who had
protested against giving 10 per cent
attorney fees to McMurray had been
asked to rescind their action, formed
the substance of testimony offered by
w. A. Durant, a Choctaw Indian, and
members of the Oklahoma state legis-
lature.
Durant asserted that at a Choctaw
council meeting a resolution had been
passed against the MeMurray con-
tracts. Later he said several persons
had gone out into the Choctaw nation,
urging the Indians to sign a document
declaring themselves in favor of the
contracts, but most of his tribe, he
said, maintained their opposition.
Mr.. Hamon declined to discuss Sen
ator Cores charges and said he would
make no statement except in response
to categorical questions.
MIR. Hamon declined TO answer ques-
tons. saying he expected to appear
before the committee when he would
tell all he knew.

lands owned by the Indians.
He said the United States govern

In 1905 he said McMurray had 80
tanned contracts with the tribes of In

10 per cent basis. In 1908 President
Roosevelt had registered his disap-
prevail Of the contracts.
In the same year McMurray obtain
ed contracts individually with 10000
Indians, there being then no law
against the execution of contracts
with individual Indians. 1t was this
condition that aroused him to intro
duce a resolution in congress declar-
ing that all Indian contracts must be
approved by congress before they be-
came valid.
"A great many interests were at
work in promoting contracts. The
first I knew that former Senator Long
was acting In behalf of McMurray was
n day when / walked into the office
of Secretary of the Interior Ballinger.
l began to protest against the con-
tracts and was told not to talk so loud

Mr.. McMurray IN an interview said:
Il have level approached any one

they are legitimate and the compensa-
