San Francisco, Cal. Jan THE
rivalry between the English aviator
James Radley and Hubert Latham. the
frenchman, was responsible for two
spectacular flights at the opening of

done by Radley, who, in a Bleriot mon
oplane, gave the city its first real
aeroplane thrill by flying from the
grounds and circulating over the
ferry slips and the cruiser fleet in
the bay, Latham, a few minutes after
the Englishman returned to the field

PART SENATOR LONG TOOK
He Admits That He pre-
pared the Amendment
Which Would Have Re
CURED the President to
Approve Indian Contracts

Washington. Jan. Former Senator
Chester l. Long of Kansas told the
special investigating committee of the
mousse this afternoon that he had ar
ranged with ]. F. McMurray, the Okla
homa Indian land lawyer, whereby he
was to receive in addition to his ex-
penses. 10 per cent of the amount Nc
Murray received as his fee in the Choc-
taw and Chickasaw land cases. Long
said his connection with the land cases
was contingent upon the approval or
recognition by the government of the
contracts between 'McMurray and the
Indians
He had represented McMurray. he
said. in two hearings before the attor-
ney general and the secretary of the
interior. McMurray had contracts
with the tribes covering claims of Sc
gregated coal and asphalt lands; and
individual contracts with the members
of the two tribes covering all claims.
Including the so-called LEASED land
district"
In behalf of McMurray. Long said he
submitted all these contracts to the
attorney general and the secretary of
the interior with the proposal that the
federal officials determine what would
be a proper percentage as a fee for
McMurray.
Long was asked if ne prepared and
handed to Senator Gallinger of New
Hampshire an amendment to be in
serted in the conference over the gen.
eral deficiency bill last session. in
place of the amendment Senator Gore
had added TO the bill.
Long admitted that he had, but he
said that the form in which the
amendment finally came from the con-
ference committee was not the form
in which he had prepared it, The
amendment question concerned the So
called McMurray contracts, supposed to
involve fees of about $4,000 for Nc
Murray in case the Indians rights to
the land were fully established. The
amendment as finally reported to the
senate provided that the president
should approve the contracts made by
individual Indians. Long testified that
as he had given it to Senator Gallinger
il provided that the president may
approve them.
Under the authority of the word
shall the question at once was raised
congress had not virtually or
dered the president 10 approve these
contracts, instead of leaving it to his
discretion. Because of this cOnstruc-
ton. the amendment was recalled and
the provision was taken out of the de-
ficiency bill

The last day of the convention did
not produce the excitement some an
ticipated in the election of the new
board officers. The Wyoming dele
gates were disappointed that the name
of DR.. J. NJ. Wilson. of their state,
was not presented for the presidency,
but saw that it would be impossible
to stem the tide in favor of Frank
r. GOoding, former governor of Idaho.
and brother of the retiring president.
The resolutions ask report from
President Tafts tariff board before
judgment is passed on congress.

From the way all the faithful are

the long row of leather medals won in
the campaigns of 1896, 1900 and 1905
ell will be duly handed over to Bryan
II. for his approaching race" That's
all the evening luminary knows about
him and US. AS Mrs. Brown is said
to have remarked TO delegation OF
anxious gentlemen who were trying to
fry some lsh OF their own and waited
on her to find out what "the Governor
was going to do about his successor
in the State of Georgy. II dunno; but
lows Joe Will take it hisself" THAT.

have lived since November. 1905. and
the hope upon which we have rested
SO much of our confidence; that in n
word. is why we have named the next
President of the United States, the
One and Only, who like Freedoms
battle once begun is bequeathed from
bleeding sire to son.
Besides, If we are to be disappoint-
ed in this we are to be disappointed
with Champ Clark and not with Wood
row Wilson. 1t was only the other
day that the papers reported that Mr..
Clark had been picked out for the first
place on the ticket and In our system
of Government it would not be posi-
bic for Woodrow and Champ to run
for the same Office in the same party.
