SAID TO HAVE ENACTED THEM FROM EVERYBODY HE
 COULD.
OTHERS ALSO GOT FUND
Entire Amount Paid Attorneys Not Yet Revealed at Inquiry-Mc- Murray to be Placed on
 Stand Again.

Sulphur, Okla, Aug 22.-Though an entire day was consumed in cross questioning J. F. McMurray, the con- gressional committee investigating the Indian land affairs did not finish with the witness.
 It was brought out in the testimony of McMurray that he held as many as half a dozen contracts with the In dians for legal services, all covering the same period of time.
 McMurray testified, under question ing that for general services he had two contracts with the Chickasaws at $5,000 a year each; two with the Choc- jaws at $5,000 a year each; another contract for special services at fee of $15,000 only $3000 of which was paid; a yearly expense allowance of $2,700 under one contract and another for general expenses amounting to $1S0,000. All of this money was in addition to the $150,00O allowed his law firm as a contingent fee in what are known as the citizenship cases, and, in addition, also to the contracts by which he now seeks to obtain 10 per cent, or $3,000,000, as a contingent fee on the sale of $30,000,000 worth of asphalt and coal lands.
 Others Also Got Fund.
 How is it that while having so many contracts to represent the h. dains generally on regular salaries you got special contract on a contin- gent fee basis every time any special case bobbed up?" asked Representa- tive E. w. Saunders of Virginia, a member of the committee. Isn't it strange that the Indians had to sign so many contracts in order to get their affairs strengthened out when the gov ernment was supposed to look after a great part of that work?'
 McMurray replied he had been iden- tified with the Indians for so many years that they had come to look to him to take care of their legal affairs. He said hardly an act had been passed by their tribal councils without the sanction of his legal firm. Many of the expense allowances, the witness said, had been collected by him with out the knowledge of the department of the interior Also, he said, many acts passed by the tribal legislature were not submitted to the president of the United States. as it was assert ed was required.
 Asked by Representative Miller of Minnesota whether his work had not tended to lead the Indians away from a close relationship with the govern ment, McMurray said he always had done his utmost to bring the Indians and the government together.
 It was also shown that the Indians had employed other attorneys besides McMurray, each tribe paying 5000 a year, and one of the tribes S12,000 a year for special counsel
 How much money in the aggI gate the Indians have pledged themselves to pay to attorneys has not yet been determined by the committee. Me Murray is to be questioned further.
