REPRESENTATIVE MARTIN
IN TILT WITH CHAIRMAN
Western Press

Western Press
WASHINGTON, d. c., July 27.-
The house yesterday afternoon took
up the general deficiency bill and a
sharp colloquy ensued when Repre-
sentative Martin of Colorado sought
to have transferred from the Indian
appropriation bill an item of three
million dollars to pay for lands of
the Ute Indians now reported in needy
circumstances in Colorado.
Chairman Fitzgerald Of the appro-
priations committee said the lawyers
in the case had received quarter of
million dollars from the Indians in
fees. He said he would exert every
effort to prevent the passage of the
item. The money, he said, would find
its way into the possession Of "astute
while gentlemen" and the Indians re-
ally would be acquired by the same
poisons at attractive prices.

Western Press
OYSTER BAY, July 27.-Savage
assault upon Organism as well as Ry-
anism will characterize the speech be-
fore the third party convention in Chi
cago, Aug. 5, when Colonel Roosevelt
will exploit the progressive ideas upon
which his campaign for the presi-
dency is to be founded.
The ex-president intimated today
that he intends to tear Bryan the
ories to tatters. Roosevelt regards
Bryan as platform orator who
shoots arrows in the sky. He urges
that BRYAN expounds vague ideas in
his effort TO strike the solution of the
economic problems of the days, ideals
that, as the colonel puts it, would be
as harmful as would free silver. The
entire Democratic platform, he in
sists, reflects Organism and looks to
no definite working out of the indus
trial crisis facing the country.
