BODY That Investigated Alleged indian
Lands Graft Case, Finds Improper
Proposal Was Made.

Washington. The special commit
tee of the house appointed last
summer to investigate Senator Cores
charges of attempted bribery In con-
nection with j. w. McMurray's indian
attorney contracts in Oklahoma MADE
it's final report to the house.
The majority OF the committee mas
that Jake l.. Hamon actually did.
about May 6, 1910, make an improper
proposal to Senator Gore respecting
the McMurray contracts; and that
about June 16. 1910, he approached
Representative Charles F. Creager
with an improper proposal on the
same subject. The committee finds
no evidence, however. to show that
Hamon, was acting "by authority OF,
or with the consent or knowledge OF
McMurray."
On this ground the committee ex'
onerates McMurray of any connection
with an attempt improperly to intu'
ence members of the house or senate.
1t does find, however, that he used
more than undue influence" to Sc.
cure the support of Chief Green Nc

lar Election of Senators Will
Continue Battle

Washington.--By vote of "a to 80,
two-thirds not voting in the afirma-
tive, as required for constitutional
amendments, the senate Tuesday de-
feated the resolution for the direct
election of United States senators.
Responsibility for the defeat was d.
vided between nine Democrats, who
voted against the resolution because
they feared that federal election laws
might be invoked to carry out the
provisions Of the resolution, and six
Republican lame ducks" who voted
against their colleagues who will re-
main in the senate after March 4. All
told, the senators from Is states split
on the roll call, being in every In.
stance except that of West Virginia
members of the same political party.
Senator Gallinger at first voted
against, but later said it was an in
advertence and asked to be recorded
in the negative. The absentees were
Aldrich, Crawford, Frazier and Ter
rell of Georgia. 1t was announced that
had they been present Frazier would
have voted aye and Terrell nay. There
was no announcement about Senator
Aldrich.

Efforts were made daily by friends
and foes Of Mr.. Lorimer to influences
the votes of the senators for orr
against him, and during the last two
weeks Mr.: Cullom received an ava
ianche of letters and kilograms so:
large it was feared his health would
break under it.
The Lorimer fight has been one Of
the most sensational in the history Of
the upper house. When the commit

turned report declaring that no evi-s
dences of bribery having influenced
the legislators in The election of Mr..
Lorimer had been found. It was con-
sidered that he was amply vindicated
and that his senate seat was secure.
This report was prepared by q sub
committee and was the outcome of an
exhaustive investigation both at Wash;
tngton and Chicago. In which the
charges Of bribery at Springfield were
thoroughly gone into.

TO PROTECT DITCH
HOUSE DECIDES BY RWHELM-
ING VOTE TO FoRTIFY
PANAMA CANAL.
AID is GIVEN BY DEMOCRATS
Twenty Republicans Refuse to Sup
port Measure Providing for Bat
teries to Guard Big Waterway
Sentiment In Senate Is Favorable.

Washington.-By an overwhelming
vote the house of representatives Sat
urday might appropriated $3,OOO,O0O to
begin work on the fertilization of the
Panama canal. The total cost of pro-
tecting the big waterway will be about
$12,000,000.
There is no doubt of the result in
the senate, where the sentiment is
said to be two to one in favor Of pro-
tecting the waterway with land bat
teries. 4
The house disposed of the question
after nearly fiye,hours OF debate. The
real test came on an amendment pro-
posed by Representative Tawney of
Minnesota, chairman of the committee
on appropriations, providing that no
part of the 100000 should be used
until the president of the United
States had attempted to negotiate
treaties with all of the leading mari
time nations guaranteeing the neu-
trality and international protection of
the canal.
The Tawney amendement then was
voted down by 1870 to So. A motion
by Representative Keifer of Ohio to
strike out all provision for the fortifi-
cation of the canal was lost by vote
OF 1876 to 81.
The real interest in the debate
seemed to center in the TaWney
amendment, and the speeches made
for and against it by Mr.. Tawney and
Mr.. Sherley. Mr.. Tawney, a stalwart
Republican, looked to the Democratic
side for sympathy and applause and
received both. Mr.. Sherley. one Of
the Democratic leaders Of the house,
was accorded an ovation by the Re-
publican members. The detection of
about twenty Republicans from the
general policy Of fertilization was off,
set by similar detection on the Dem
ocratic side in favor of fertilization.
In passing the sundry civil bill car
rying approximately $140.000,000, and
Of which the canal fertilization pro-
vision was the last feature to be con.
sfdered. the house made new record.
Never before has this biggest of all
supply bills been put through in two
days without any sort Of gag rule. "
It IL taken as another evidence that
the house is doing all it can to avoid
an extra session.
