GORE CHARGES TRUE.
COMMITTEE FINDS THAT .sENA.
TOR WAS OFFERED BRIDE.
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-
rection with j. w. McMurray's Indian
attorney contracts in Oklahoma made
its final report to the house.
The majority Of the committee finds
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
iMcMurray."
On this ground the committee ex-
onerates McMurray OF any connection
with an attempt improperly to influ-
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
Curtain and his son, D. G. McCurtain,
in getting these contracts. by trans
ferring contingent interest of $685.
900 in the contracts to D. c. McCur-
tain.

months Of January and February by
Senators Bailey, Beveridge, Borah,
Bristow, Brown, Burrows, Crawford,
Cummins, Davis, Fletcher, Gallinger,
Gamble. Hepburn, johnson, Jones,
Owen, Paynter, Root and by Mr.. Lori
mer himself. Mr.. Cullom also spoke,
but was noncommittal as to his col
league. He defended himself and the
state Of Illinois.
Efforts were made daily by friends
and foes of Mr.. Lorimer to influence
the votes OF the senators for or
against him, and during the last two
weeks Mr.. Cullom received an ava
lanche of letters and kilograms 80
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.
tee on privileges and elections re-
turned a report declaring that no evil
dences of bribery having Influenced
the legislators in The election of Mr..
Lorimer had been found, 1t was con-
sidered that he was amply indicated
and that his senate seat was secure.
This report was prepared by sub.
committee and was the outcome of an
exhaustive investigation both at Wash
ington and Chicago. in which the
charges Of bribery at Springfield were
thoroughly gone into.

Uncle Joe,s Cheek,

Col. Henry Casson, sergeant-at.arms
of the house of representatives, has
the original check given by Speaker
Joseph G. Cannon few years ago to
a book agent. and about which an in
teresting story has been told.
h An agent visited the speaker and IN
terested him In an elaborate edition Of
something which Uncle Joe didn't
want, but bought. When the books
arrived Uncle Joe examined them and
decided at once that something had
been put over on him. When the agent
came for his money the speaker de-
termined to make him indorse a terse
sentiment on books. SO he wrote out a
check for $73, the amount due. and on
the back of 1t he inscribed:
Pay to the order of Mr.. Blank, in
full payment for an edition which was
not worth d., and dear at that
price, but for the ease and grace with
which he put 1t over your Uncle Joe
1t was well worth the money."-Hu-
