NJ MURRAY DENIES
OFFERING BRIBE
Lawyer Declares That His Deal
ing With Indians Was
plain Business"

SULPHUR, Okla, Aug 1S.-"It has
been charged that you, through Jake
L. Hamon, offered Senator T. p. Gore
$4,000 Or $4,000 as bride to influence
him in congress to withdraw his oppo-
sition to the approval of your con-
tracts. Did you, or did you not, offer
Senator Gore such bribe?"
j. f. McMurray answered mo" to
that question in the hearing before the
congressional committee investigating
Indian land affairs today.
McMurray.: who holds contracts with
the Chickasaw and Choctaw Indians for
the sale of s30,00O,000 worth of their
lands in this state on 10 per cent con-
tlngent fee basis, was on the stand all
day. The questions were propounded
to him by Cecil H. Smith, his counsel

employe of any department of the gov

McMurray described his contracts
with the Indians as plain business

tain. Choctaw lawyer. McCurtain had
testified the offer had been made to him
in connection with the old tribal con-
tracts. Senator Gore has testified that

SENATORIAL VOTE
PRESENTS PUZZLE
In Spite of Works Long Lead in
Aggregate Spalding May
Be Chosen
Legislators May Be Enabled
to Follow Primary Law
Secondary Provision

In spite of the fact that Judge John
D. Works of Los Angeles has long
lead in the aggregate advisory vote for
United States senator, the provisions Of
the direct primary election law and the
peculiar disposition of the popular vote
may result in making A G.. Spalding
the leading candidate for Frank Fltnts
toga.
While on the face of the completed
official returns it will probably be
shown that Works has lead of ap-
proXimately 10000 over A. @. Spalding.
the same returns may show that the
San Diego man has won a sufficient
number of senatorial and assembly dis
tricts to give him an edge of one or
two votes in the republican caucus
The incomplete returns indicate that
Spalding has probably won plurality or
majority Endorsements in 80 assembly
and senatorial districts. eliminating
probable minority OF Is democrats IN
both houses and districts which ap-
pear TO have Endorsed Meserve. Works
big vote and plurality of 10000 may
represent only As votes in the repubh-
can caucus.
The development of such situation
in the caucus would either throw the
republican legislators upon a second
airy provision of the primary law or
hands of the men whose districts had
Endorsed Meserve.
The primary law provides that SEN
ators and assemblymen may be bound
either by the advisory vote of their
respective districts or vote for the can
didate receiving the highest number
of votes in a majority of the districts
electing legislators in that year.
On the face OF the complete. incom-
plete and partial returnes, Spaldtng has
carried San Francisco. Alameda, San
Diego, MERGED Marin, MendOcino, Napa.
Riverside, San Benito, Santa Clara, So
noma. FL Dorado and Del Norte coun-
ties. The completed returns may show
that he has carried several more north
ern and interior counties.
The counties that are already in the
Spalding column represent So assem-
blymen and senator's after eliminating
those districts which may be conceded
to Works, the known democratic hold
overs and the democrats that probably
will be elected.
The senatorial situation is a puzzle
which can only be solved by the segre-
cation of the official returns by dis
tricts. Even that segregation may not
settle the question of initial leader
ship in the republican caucus. The
action of the caucus may serve. how
ever. to force through the legislature
an aggregate vote amendment TO the
primary law.

AUTOIST FLEES
FROM HIS VICTIM
Robert Iberson Run Down and
Seriously Injured by Speed
ing Car

In the same wanton way that the
late Colonel Laurie Bunten was run
down and left to die by a speeding au-
tomobile, Robert Iberson of 12S Laguna
street, assistant manager of the Golden
Gate cloak and suit house, was last
night struck to the ground by a rae
ing automobile in charge of an I'M
identified chauffeur. as he was alight-
ing from a Haight street car. He was
badly injured and his condition is said
to be grave.
Harry T. Renton of Oakland. an eye
witness of the accident, told the police
that the automobile was travelling at
60 miles an hour when it hit Iberson.
The victim was hurled into the air and
against the stone tagging. The grav-
est of his injuries is a partial fracture
of the skull caused by striking the
cobbles
The chauffeur, without swerving
from his course, increased the speed
of his machine for two blocks of down
grade on Haight street and disappeared
into Market. Witnesses say there was
no slackening of pace at the instant
of the accident, the driver merely
crowding on more speed and looking
ahead
Iberson was returning from his place
of business. He had aliShted from the
Haight street car and started to cross
to Laguna. street. He was struck al
most before he realized his danger.
nearby physician gave him first
treatment and he was later taken TO
the emergency hospital.
The police are working hard to as
certain the identity of the driver. There
is a more direct clew to follow in this
case than in that of the unidentified
person who killed Colonel Bunten.

RENO, New. Aug. A1s.-Testifying
that her husband. Daniel Harris, whom
she married in stockton in 1898. had
to pay for household supplies while
they were living in Oakland and that
she was compelled to work in order to
pay back the amounts, Mrs. Gertrude
Harris, an attractive womans who is
employed in one of the local stores,
was granted a decree of divorce by
Judge Pike today. The decree was
granted on the ground of nonsupport.
The plaintiff testified that her husband
was an advertising man and made good
money at his business. but that he
gambled it all away.
Minnie Lissak was granted decree
from Adolphus Lissak. They were
married on Christmas day, 1883. at
Carlin. New. Nonsupport was the
charge.
Sadie NJ. Ireson was divorced from

Her prayer for counsel fees and ALI

her divorce in another state on ground
of cruelty, Mrs. Anderson moved to
Nevada, where she established a resi-

LoNGWORTH PRESENT
LONGWORTH GIVES
HINT OF BIG FIGHT
ON SPEAKER CANNON

BEVERLY. Mass, Aug 1S.-Refect-
ing the views of the administration, it
is generally believed. Representative
Nicholas Longworth of Ohio today gave
out statement in which he said that
he viii never support Speaker Cannon
again. and that he did not believe
Cannon ever can be reelected. This
is regarded as the actual beginning OF
the real fight on Cannon.
1t had been regarded as significant
that Longworth had been called into
all of the recent conferences of a
political character held by President
Taft. He was present yesterday when
the president and vice president talked
together. 1t was reported then that q
statement adverse TO Cannon was be-
ing prepared in quarters close to the
administration, and it was also init
mated that Sherman, who, like
Longworth, has always been a sup
porter of Cannon, had become recon
ciled to the fact that Cannon must go.
TO SEE ROOSEVELT
There may be further significance
in the fact that Longworth is going to
Oyster Bay on Saturday to spend sew
eral days with Roosevelt.
Longworth's statement in full is as
follows:
Beverly Mass. Aug IS, 1910
In view of Mr.. Cannon's uneouiv-
ocal declaration that he intends to
be candidate for speaker of the
next house, / think ii is incumbent
on those of us who are candidates
for membership in the next House
who have made UP our minds on
our course of action and have posi-
tive views on the subject to state
our position publicly.
Had Mr.. Cannon not made this
announcement and had it remained
doubtful whether he would be
n
to commit myself before election as
to whom l should or should not
support for speaker. But since
Mr.. Cannon has, in his speeches
so far in the campaign and in his
recent declaration, made his can
didacy for the speakership an issue,
/ for one do not propose to dodge
that issue.
/ Shall oppose Mr.. Cannon's cleo
tion as speaker and 1 shall do so
in the ! manner that / consider
proper and effective in the settle
ment of controversies in my party,
namely, in the republican caucus.
l made up my mind before the adj
journment of the last session of
congress that Mr.. Cannon could
not be reelected speaker and nv
opinion has been strengthened
since through correspondence and
talks with my colleagues.
/ am not referring to those who
have openly opposed him in the
past, but to those who, like myself,
have supported him.
] am absolutely convinced if
there is a full attendance at the
republican caucus that Mr. Can
non can not again be elected speak

CANNON BELIEVES
TAFT is CONDUCTING
FIGHT AGAINST HIN

DANVILLE, Ill, Aug 1S.-Despite
the declaration of Congressman Long
worth that he will not again vote for
Joseph G. Cannon for speaker of the
house, Cannon will continue in the race
according to his own statement made
this evening.
He viii go into the caucus as can
didate, no matter how many republican
congressman declare they. will oppose
his reelection. All he asks is that
those who go into the caucus abide by
its vote. and he promises to do the
same. He does not ask any man to
pledge himself to vote for his re-elec-
ton if he believes that pledge will
work against him in the election this
fall nor does he want any candidate
Tor the republican nomination for con-
gress to repudiate his party by failure
to enter the caucus.
CANNON NETTLED
That Cannon was considerably net
tied by the dispatch from Beverly was
apparent this afternoon when a copy
of it was handed him. Cannon is
usually ready to grant or refuse an in
terview without a moments hesitation,
but today he read and reread the
Longworth statement, then dictated
and redictated a half dozen statements
before he got one which finally suited
him.
There is no doubt that Cannon be-
lieves the Longworth statement was
inspired by President Taft. He did not
say so in so many words but he inti-
mated as much when he said:
1T is time enough to answer the
president of the United States if he has
any statement to make touching on
the republicanism of the speaker of the
house of representatives when he
makes that statement under his own
hand. / will not fight windmills filled
by breezes blown from the lungs of
political or personal enemies Or

When daylight broke the vessel was
seen to have foundered. Moissant was
taken off later by the American consul,
who found him dashed to the topmost
rigging of the steamer, which emerged
only few feet above the water.
AS A REVOLUTIONIST
Previous to this exploit Moissant was
reported as handling rapid fire gun
for the Nicaraguans in an attack on
Salvador during one of the recent out
breaks there.
The Moissant brothers, George, AL
fred and John, and two sisters, for
many years had interests valued at
several hundred thousand dollars in
Salvador. In 1907 George and Alfred
Moissant were arrested and imprisoned
on charges of aiding and abetting the
revolutionists of Salvador and with
having secreted the revolutionary gem

BEVERLY ALARMED BY
REPORT OF. POSSIBLE
BREAK WITH COLONEL

HOPEDALE, Mass, Aug. 1S.-Presi
dent Taft is spending the night as
the guest of Governor Draper of
Massachusetts, at his home here. The
president motored down from Beverly
this afternoon. making the 60 miles
or more in a little more than two
hours. Governor Draper invited a
number Of his relatives and intimate
friends in to meet the president at
dinner tonight.
Taft was accompanied frop Beverly
only by Secretary Norton and Cap
tain Butt. Tomorrow the president
will visit Menden, where his ancestors
lived, and. return by automobile to the
summer capital in the afternoon.
PURELY SOCIAL VISIT
Taft's visit here is purely social
and made as a return courtesy by the
governor There is absolutely no po-
litical significance attached to it.
Reports from oyster Bay today,
purporting to indicate that Colonel
Roosevelt believed his defeat at the
hands of the New York state repub
lican committee was the result of an
agreement between President Taft
and some of the ''old guard" leaders in
the state were received at Beverly to-
day with little short of consterna-
ton. AS the reports were not cred
tied to any responsible person, no at
tention was officially paid to them. So
far as the statement. that there was
an agreement to defeat Roosevelt to
which President Taft was a party, is
concerned. there is said to be no truth
in it.
Taft from the first has endeavored
to obtain harmony in New York state.
He urged all the leaders to try to get
together and has been anxious that
Roosevelt's wishes should be con-
suited, and even went so far on one
occasion as 20 exclaim to very
prominent New York politician:
For Gods sake, avoid a fight"
1t also was said at Beverly today
that it was believed that if the per-
son who inspired the statement from
Oyster Bay had been in possession of
the facts, the statements never would
have been made.
LoNGWORTH PRESENT
Representative Nicholas L4ongworth
of Ohio. a son in law of Roosevelt,
has been present at nearly all of the
recent conferences which Taft has
held at Beverly. He was present
oughout all the conferences with
Vice President Sherman yesterday.
Longworth, it is believed. knows every
move the president has made. He will
see Roosevelt at oyster Bay on Satur-
day.
