Democratic Candidate for Governor
Pays Tribute to This Prairie. Then
Talks Politics to Good
Sized Audience.

Hon. James Il. Hawley, demo
cratic candidate for governor. spok,
to good sized audience last Thurs
day night at the opera house on the
issues of the present campaign.
He spoke at length upon the imam
ces of the state and the Carey ACT
projects as handled by the present
state land board. He did not say
that Governor Brady had proftsd
personally by the way the affairs
had been managed but that other
members had pro6ted from the deals
that had been made, and that they
took advantage of their positions snd
secured lands in their own names
and that most of his Information had
been obtained from republicans
themselves. He referred to the
Twin Falls project which was put on
the market some years ago at SIS
an acre for the water and that the
price had been gradually increasing
until now some of the projects we're
charging SOS an acre for the water,
and competent engineers have made
examinations and claim that the
water could be furnished at a profit
at S45 per acre. he referred to the
Lost River tract where settlers had
come out from the eastern states
and spent all their money and lost
it on account of the dam across the
river not being constructed right.
He stated that he was in favor Of
the initiative and referendum which
is in the democratic platform and
that he was in favor of the present
local option law and wanted it 10 be
given bsttsr test than it has yet
had. he attacked the republican
blank in favor of statewide prohibi-
ion by constitutional amendment as
icing put in the platform for votes
My, as the republicans knew that
inough counties of the state had
dominated candidates for the state
enate who we're pledged against 1t
efore the platform was adopted and
would be an impossibility to pass
UGH an act by the legislature. He
aid that the railroad commission
hOuld be left with the people and
nat if they sent members to the
legislature who would pass such a
leasure he would gladly sign the
i'll.
His talk was entirely free from
ouse and was more of a business !
Tx than a political speech. He
ED Governor Brady responsible for
any of these acts because he is
ot only member Of the land board !
Ut is also chairman of il. Q

SANITY NOT IN QUESTION
JUDGE PUGH RULES IN POLICE
COURT CASE.
Hearing, He Says, Has Nothing to
Do With Mental Examination
in Proper Court.

Consent by the government to an eX-
animation by alienists. where the sanity
Of a defendant charged with a grand jury
offense is questioned, is not obligatory
previous to his preliminary hearing in the
Police Court, according to a decision by
Judge Pugh today in the case of Ross
Wise, charged with HOUSEKEEPING. The
question was raised yesterday, when Wise
appeared for a preliminary hearing. The
case was adjourned until this morning.
1.-The hearing here has nothing to do
with an examination to determine de-
PENDANTS mental responsibility when he
is charged with a grand jury offense,
Judge Pugh said. Police Court judges
sit as committing magistrates in these
cases, and it is only within their province
to, determine whether or not prima
facie case has or has not been made out.
The question Of a mental examination
comes later in the courts where these
cases properly belong"
Witnesses were heard in the charge
filed against Wise, and he was ordered

default of one -thousand-dollar bond.
He was accused of entering an apart

HAD MILLIONS IN SIGHT
SCOTT TELLS OF McMURRAY'S
INDIAN CONTRACTS.
Called for 81 500, 900 in Fees Aside
From 10 Per Cent on Sale
of Lands.

SULPHUR. Okla, August 12-That ].
F. McMurray had contracts with the In
dians by which in the sale of their lands
he would receive not only 5000, 900 as
attorneys fees, but also agreements call
ing for $1,5OO,OOO in other fees, was testi.
fled to by George Scott before the spe-
cial congressional committee today. Scott
acted as agent for McMurray.
Conspicuous among the witnesses called
to testify today was Douglas " john
son. chief of 5000 Chickasaw Indians
Johnson together with SIS per cent of his
tribe signed the McMurray contract by
which, according to Senator T. P Gore,
10 per cent attorney fee'' $4,000, COO
would be withheld from the Indians in
the sale Of $4,000 acres of their land in
this state. This money, Senator Gore
charges, was to have been paid for serv-
ices which the government already has
agreed to render free to the Indians.
chief Johnson has made it known that
he signed the contracts because of impa-
thence at the governments delay in dis
posing of the land.
Cecil A. Lyon, national republican COM
mitteeman from Texas, also is here and
probably will testify. According to pre-
vious testimony Lyon was financially in
terested with McMurray in what were
known as the old tribal contracts, dis.
approved by President Roosevelt in 1903,
but is not interested in the present con-
tracts.

STORE ON THE AVENUE
is LOOTED BY BURGLAR
S. N. Meyer Robbed Last Night OF
Property Valued at
$500.

Burglars visited the store of S. n.
Meyer, dealer in military goods, at 1871
Pennsylvania avenue northwest, last
night and carried away about 500 worth
of property.
The robbery was discovered this morn
ing about $50 o'clock when one of the
employees appeared to open the store. He
found it was unnecessary to use key,
the doors being open. Property had been
taken from showcases and the front win
dow.
Detectives Kleindienst and Cox made
an examination Of the premises and were
given list of the missing property 1t is
their belief that the robbery was COM
mitted by a person who secreted himself
in the store before the closing hour yes
terday.
Light from the big arc lamps on Penn
sylvania avenue made it an easy matter
for the burglar to make what selections
he wanted, although, it is stated, the ar
ticles he took were not the most valuable
in stock.
The fact that the burglar took mex
pensive property, the detectives think.
indicates he was not familiar with the
stock in the store. The property taken
included military buckles. gold brooches.
fountain pens. cuff buttons, fraternity
emblems, rings and raZors.
