Cincinnati PROBE IS
Causing Much ALARM
PRESIDENT BASEBAIL COMMIS-
SION, AND OTHER MEN BE-
FORE JURY.

BY Associated Press.
Cincinnati. Ohio, Feb 2S.-Surprlscs
were many today In the Investigation
Of public affairs In Cincinnati con-
Quoted by the grand jury of Hamilton
County. No indictments were return
ed, but the prominence Of the men
summoned as witnesses started sur
misses which indicated that the In
qulry Is to become far more reaching
than the indictment OF George b..
Cox would show.
Chief among those before the grand
Jury today were August Hermann,
chairman Of the National Baseball
Commission. and grand exalted ruler
Of the Elks, and Rudolph NJ Hynlcka,
n former county treasurer, Both have
been associated politically with Cox
but no intimation Of their testimonials
Is forthcoming.
Hermann was before the jury
twice. the first time Immediately fol-
lowing Eynlcka, who. after testiiJnR
for half an hour departed for New
Yor'-.
The fact that officials of the West
ern Union Telegraph company and
John A. Payne, former head Of a
concern that distributed racing and
market Information, had been sum-
monod led to the belief that the grand
Jury was turning Its attention to al
legged gambling.

NATION UNCERTAIN.

At meeting Of the public affairs
committee Of tho Commercial Club a
resolution was drawn recommending
the southeast corner OF the High
School lot as the final location for the
contemplated Carnegie library The
body unanimously voted the right
to use this portion OF the present high
school site for the structure. The pro-
position Will be submitted 10 the d.
rectors at their next meeting Tor ap-
proval. II the resolution is passed
upon favorably by the higher body Of
the Commercial Club there Is no
doubt that the site now contemplated
will be finally selected as location.
The action OF the Commercial club
will serve to arouse public sentiment
In the matter which has been hanging
fire for some past time. In case there
aro protests offered. the selection OF
a favorable site will be put to a vote
of the people. Person vitality interest
ed In the erection OF public library
are anxious that definite action bo
taken on this matter to insure the
donation offered by Mr.. Carnegie
1t is feared by some that the do
satlon OF 1000 may be withdrawn in
case the authorities procrastlnate on
the selection OF q suitable site. In
case the donator should be called by
the Grim Reaper, all obligation Of
turning over tho donation would be
void.
The only library Of public nature
afforded by Tulsa is tho departmental
library installed at the High school
building The books are mostly used
for reference. and have been pur-
chased from the proceeds OF plays
given by tho student body.

Two prominent Tulsa alleged boot

Of being caterers Of booze have been
forced to serve sentence.
The men were NJ. j, Johnson, prop

his clerk, w. T. Smith. The incident
created quiet commotlon among at

Report on Gore Charges Says LawtOn
Man Acted without McMur-
rays Sanction.


BY Associated Press.
Washington, Feb. 2S,-The special
committee OF the house appointed
last summer 10 investigate Senator
Cores charge Of attempted bribery In
connected with j. f. McMurrays In
dian attorney contract In Oklahoma
made its final report to the house to-
night,
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, ana that
about June 16, 1910, he approached
Representative Charles IT, Creager
with an improper proposal on the
same subject
The committee finds no evidence
acting "by authority or with the con-
sent or knowledge OF McMurray" on
this ground the committee eXonerates
McMurray OF any connection wlth an
attcmpt to improperly influence mem
bers Of the house Of the senate.
II does find, however, that no used
more than "undue Influence" to Sc
cure the support Of Chief Green Nc
Curtain and his son. d. c. MoCurtain
in getting these contracts by transfer
ring n contingent interest Of S25,o0O
In tho contract to d. c. McCurtain.
The committee" says the report
further believes that the mental con-
dlton existing among members Of the
Choctaw and ChlclSasaw tribes inde-
tending TO the good faith Of the Uni
ted States government In dealing with
thom has been largely brought about
through an effort Of McMurray and
,Amer Ners OF the tribe financially I'm.
> teresto6 or sympathically cooperative
with him to create n sentiment de.
signed to aid McMurray In obtaining
lucrative contracts with the Indians
which otherwise would have been Inn
possible.
The committee finds that no Nom.
her Of the house or senate has had any
interest whatever IN the McMurraN
contracts The intlmatlon that Rep.
resentatIve Bird S. MCGUIRE OF Okla.
homa had some such interest Is found
20 be without foundation, and to have
arisen from the friendly relations ex.
isting between Mr.. Mcclure and Mr.
McMurray.
The connection OF former Senator
Chester I. Long Of Kansas and former
Senator John NJ, Thurston of Nebraska
with the McMurray contracts is held
TO have been entirely proper, being
simply the interest OF attorneys prop.
erly employed. Both were employed
in legal way after they had left the
senate.

said there were members of Congress
who never saw a farmer except when
they passed through the country in
