SAYS He SAVED
INDIANS MILLIONS
Senator Gore Asserts Fee GRAB
Worth $4,000 oo-Lawyer Calls
"Bribe" Joke.

Washington. Addressing tn
house committee which has been
investigating his charges of attempted
bribery in connection with legislation
validating certain Indian land con-
tracts, Senator Gore of Oklahoma
dwelt on the futility OF exposures al
rected at those who seek to use con
gress for personal gain. He declared
that while intended robberies were
prevented thereby, the one who makes
the attack becomes the target for all
kinds of malice.
Senator Gore characterized the
counter attacks on him as 'prodlgal-
ity of perjury" He said that he be-
lieved silence on his part would have
cost the Indians millions of dollars.
AS it is, he said, he believed that the
Indians had been saved 100000 or.

Cecil Smith, the Texas lawyer who
closed arguments in behalf of j. F.
McMurray of Muskogee, former at
torney for the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw nations, one of the chief benef-
Charles under the contracts in ques-
ton, declared that there was no evil
dence in the record to connect Mr.
McMurray in any way with the bri-
berry which Senator Gore alleged had
been attempted.
Mr. Smith said the evidence proved
that if Jacob Hamon made proposal
to pay $4,000. to Mr.. Gore in return
for his influence in congress, as
charged by the senator, the offer had
been made as joke or else that he
proposed to get Cores support for his
own bill and then made deal with
McMurray whereby the latter would

not less than ten banks each, each
bank holding stock in the association
in proportion to it's capital
Directors elected by these to the
board of branch" associations, one
branch for each of Is financial dis
tricts into which the United States
would be divided Each branch"
board would include a certain proper
tion of men not bankers, but repre-
senting industrial, agricultural, COM
mercial and other interests.
The branches" in turn would elect
10 the reserve association proper rs
directors in ALL among whom must
also be a proportion of men represent
ing interests other than banks There
would be also six ex-officio members
of this board, namely, the secretary
of the treasury, the secretary of com
merce and labor, the comptroller of
the currency, and the governor and
two deputy governors of the associa-
ton.
The governor and deputy governor
of the association would be appointed
by the president of the United States,
and be removable by him for cause.
The association would be the prin-
cipal fiscal agent and depository of the
government, would fix from time to
time the rate of exchange or discount,
and eventually its notes would replace
those of the national banks. Prime
commercial paper, passing up from
the banks through the local associa-
lions and branches, as well as bonds
of the government, could be used as
basis for currency issue.
The plan contemplates also two new
classes of national banks, or depart
ments of banks, to receive savings and
make loans on real estate, and also to
be in effect national trust companies.
National banks would be permitted to
form branches only in their own i'm
mediate communities and they could
also be organized for business in for
eign countries.

HobbIe skirt in Bible Time.

Can any one doubt, asks writer in
a French newspaper, that the ladies of
Jerusalem in Biblical times were i'm
peded in their walk, like the ladies of
today? In the latter part of the
third chapter of the Prophecy of
Isaiah, says the writer before referred
to, we get a glimpse OF how these
daughters of Sion dressed on gala oc-
casions. We learn further, he says,
from a passage in the Talmud Baby
lonian), chapter vi. (Schabbats trans
lation), that the robes of the ladies
were so tight that they could only
walk with short steps. By this means
8 greater opportunity was afforded to
their admirers to observe them. The
writer, quoting from the Vulgate, OBJ
serves: Mill sub sole novium." The
suggestion evidently is that the hob
BILE skirt was in vogue in very far
away times.

Of ten. She is the daughter of an at
tractive lady of society whom the fam

after the orthodox manner of a ladies'

drawing room. AS he did so he be-
came aware that the child had her
great grave eyes, full of inquiry, fixed
upon him.
You don't know what I am doing,

COALITION ROUTS
CANNON FORCES
House Sustains Appeal From
Speakers Ruling.
MILD SCENES ARE ENACTED
Clash Comes on New Rule Giving Ma
Jority Power to Discharge Com
nittee From Further Consid-
Grafton of Bills.

Washington.-Spe Cannon was
fguratively trampled upon by the old
nsurgent-Democratic alliance as he
was in the last session of congress
when the house engaged in the bitter
fight over the rules that led to the cur
failing of the power of the presiding
officer.
BY vote of 145 to 126 the combined
forces rallied to the support of Mr.
Fitzgerald (Dem., N. " and sustained
him in his appeal from the speakers
ruling.
The fight developed as the result of
the second attempt to use the new
rule which gives the house power to
discharge a committee from further
consideration of bill that has been
referred to it. The Insurgents and the
Democrats believed that this rule was
iron clad; that as soon as the consid-
Grafton of bills by unanimous consent
had been concluded the house was
bound by the new rule to take up the
motions to discharge committees from
the custody of the specified bills.
WLSn Cut NOtS nudIIy was CdRCA up
on the appeal from Speaker Cannon's
decision, % Insurgents and all but one
of the Democrats present voted against
the speaker. The result was the de-
feat of his ruling by vote of las to
126. Fourteen members answered pres
ent, but did not vote because of pairs
with absent members.
The Republicans who voted with the
Democrats, against the speaker, were:
Cary, Wisconsin; Cassidy, Ohio;
Davidson, Wisconsin; Fish, New York;
Goode, Iowa; Gronna, North Dakota;
Haugen, Iowa; IIinshaw, Iowa; Hol-
lingsworth, Ohio; Hubbard, Iowa;
Kendall, Iowa; Kopp, Wisconsin; Kus-
terman, Wisconsin; Lenroot, Wiscon-
sin; Madison, Kansas; Morse, Wis
consin; Nelson, Wisconsin; Norris,
Nebraska; Pickett, Iowa; Poindexter,
Washington; Stafford, Wisconsin, and
Stevenson, Minnesota.
Mr.. Saunders of Virginia was the
only Democrat voting against Mr.. Fitz-
gerald in the appeal from the chairs
decision
The result of the vote Is to settle
definitely the status of the new rule.

IMAGINE AGE GIVES FLAVOR
That Seems the Only Explanation as
TO Why Fresh Nuts Are Never
Served on Shipboard.

OCTFGQ OH SHtDbO9iN'
Whence dc all the old nuts come,
and where do they go?" was the ques,
ton put to a New York Times re
porter by a broker who had just re.
turned from his semi-annul trip to
Europe
ION my many voyages across the At.
lantic and in the eastern seas, the
broker went on to say, II have never
seen fresh nuts on the dining tables
which were laden with all the delica-
cies of the season. The only person
| ever met who had seen fresh nuts
was a grizzled quartermaster, who
looked old enough to have sailed the
raging main with Paul Jones. He
said tersely:
g I've seen 'em wunst. On the Tan
jong Pagan pier at Singapore in
sacks, but they never come aboard
the ship
'FellOw-passenger with whom !
have discussed the problem were OF
the opinion that the steamship com
panies had some big cave where all
nuts were stored for a few decades I'M
til they had aged.
Capt Pritchard, the retired COM
modore Of the Cunard line, once told
me that the island of Tobago, where
Robinson Crusoe lived, was the clear
ing house for nuts, and the companies
sent them there in sacks to be ex-
changed after they had been afoat
for three years. This was corrobo-
rated by Capt. Arthur P. Mills of the
American liner Philadelphia, who said
that an old shipmate of his, Capt.
Ben Brails, had carved his initials on
q Brazil nut and put it back on the
dish while his ship was crossing the
North sea, and got the same nut on
another vessel four years later in the
Straits of Shimenoseh, Japan. This
had such an effect on the mind of
Skipper Brails that he marked all
kinds of nuts with his initials and the
date and wrote letters to all his old
Bhipmates requesting them not to
crack any of his marked nuts If they
met them on their voyages"
Veteran stewards, when asked why
the companies do not put fresh nuts on
board their ships, say that perhaps the
companies are afraid they will dis
agree with the passengers.

Not a Central Bank But a Re-

SCHEME RATHER INTRICATE

and Provides for Management
of Enthusiastically Is
Object Sought.

Washington. The plan drawn
up by Senator Aldrich, chairman
of the national monetary commits
sion, for the revision of the ma
tional banking laws was made public
here. The establishment OF a central
bank is not contemplated. Even those
who have been closest to Senator Aid
rich did not hesitate to admit that the
report came as a great surprise, the
nature of the proposals being for diff
ferent from what had been expected.
The plan was submitted to the ma
tional monetary commission. Senator
Aldrich was hundreds Of miles away
searching for health.
while we have found much that is
admirable in the operation of the vari-
Gus government banks of Europe, none
of them is applicable to our needs

believe, be reached without the crea-

100000 capital, representing what
might be called a federation of local
associations formed by national banks.

dominated by political influence"

ADMIRAL BARRY
FORCED TO QUIT
grace'-His Fleet Offcers
Silent

San Francisco. = Scandal has
cast its shadow over the navy. 1t
has come with the enforced retire
ment of Rear Admiral Edward b.
Barry, commander-in-chief of the Pa
cific fleet, and the knowledge that
his abrupt decision to yield his COM
mand was predicated upon the de-
mand of his subordinate officers. The
demand was made upon Admiral
Barry last Tuesday night after an ex-
posture of his conduct aboard his nag
ship, the West Virginia.
The sudden action was the result OF
a conference with his officers. Wash
ington was notified of the accusations
made by Barry's staff, and Secretary
the presidents authority to retire the
admiral.
Admiral Barry was interviewed in
his cabin on the flagship West Vir-
ginia. He declared that he had asked
to be retired Immediately in order to
prevent the publication of a story
which, he believed, would do great
harm to the navy.
Admiral Thomas will take over the
command of the Pacific fleet.
1--WE expect that Captain Orchard
will recommend to the secretary of
the navy that the West Virginia be
placed out of commission and that
the crew be scattered among other
ships" one of the officers said after
he learned that every man in the
crew knew the admiraPs disgrace
Admiral Barry would have been re-
tired in October of this year.
