OKLAHOMA SENATOR SAYS HIS
FATE HAS BEEN THAT OF EV-

HAS SAVED INDIANS MILLIONS
Oklahoma Senator Says That in His
Belief, His Silence Would Have
Cost Indians Three Million Dollars
More.

Washington, D. c.. Jan. 13.-'My
experience has demonstrated how
much easier it is to remain silent
than complain against certain
class of wrongdoers," said Senator
Gore of Oklahoma in a statement to
the house committee investigating
Indian land deals today.
My fate has been the common
fate of every man who makes dis
closures, as l felt compelled to
make to the senate" said Gore. Il
knew that all that malice and
money could 90 to discredit me,
would be done. The results have
justified my anticipation"
Gore characterized the counter
criticism against him as "prodigality
of perjury"
At first, he said he believed that ST.
lence on his part cost the Indians
millions. AS it is, he believes the In
dians have been saved at least three
million dollars.
Cecil Smith, the Texas lawyer, who
closed the argument for ]. F. McMur-
ray, former attorney for the Choc-
taw and Chickasaw Indians, said no
evidence whatever has appeared to
connect McMurray with the robbery
alleged by Gore. He said that the
evidence proved that the proposal to
pay Gore $25,000 for his influence
was made as joke.

to square it with the meter on the

Probably this tale will be denied
but it is true. Some time ago an
innocent reporter wrote a story to
the effect that the only friend of
the real common pee-pul-Jeff Da-
vis-was negotiating for the pur-
chase of an automobile. The report
penetrated 10 Arkansas land the
Hill Billies' arose in mighty wrath.
The tumult was stilled when Jeff
tearfully proclaimed that the Gle"
was the invention of a devil, other
wise a representative of Wall street,
who lies awake nights concocting
schemes designed to remove Jeff
Davis from public life But he did
go to the white house in a taxi
cab.
Senator Aldrich frequently walks
to the white house. So does Joe
Cannon. 1t is recalled that on one
occasion j. P. Morgan walked from
his hotel to the presidents mansion
and back again. The news of the
actual fall nayic tbiC

are shuddering today at the thought
of what the vengeance of the "Hill
Billies" may be unless the unctuous
Jeff ascribes another lie to the
devils of Wall street and gets away
