MURRAY OPPOSES
GORE AMENDMENT
DEALS WITH POWER OF INDIANS
TO MAKE coNTRAcTS-WOUlD
RESTRICT OFFICIALS.

Washington, May l2.-Representa-
tive ". II. Murray of Oklahoma has
entered the fight against the adoption
of the Gore amendment to the Indian
appropriation bill which was directed
against attorneys making contracts
with Indians without first obtaining
the approval of the secretary of the
interior. This amendment was incor-
porated in the bill last session by the
house of representatives and accepted
by the senate committee on Indian
affairs. but the bill died by reason of
a filibuster conducted by Senator
Fall OF New Mexico. The house this
session again incorporated this
amendment III the Indian appropria
tion BILL and it is now under fire by
the senate committee on Indian at
fairs.
To that committee on the subject
in question Representative Murray
addressed the following letter:
"iiouse resolution No. 1917, now
pending i'll the senate, contains par
agraph beginning on line s, page Al,
down to and including line 6, page AZ,
which should be eliminated entirely
from the bill, or at least changed so
as not to apply to others than wholly
restricted Indians of more than three
quarters blood Said Objectionable
section is in words following:
"All contracts, written or verbal,

any person or persons, directly or in

der the supervision of the United
States, shall be absolutely void and
incapable of ratification or confirma-
tion unless the consent OF the secre-
tary of the interior and approval OF
shall have previously been
given in writing to the person claim
ing Hereunder to negotiate such con-
tracts, and unless such contract shall
be approved as required by Sec. 800
of the Revised Statutes of the United
States, and any person who shall Sc
cure or attempt to secure any such
contract without the consent of the
secretary of the interior, or demand

LARGER BUSINESS THAN EVER
IN 1912 THERE WERE 100000
VACATIONISTS
What the Summer Resort Business
Means for New England.

New England is undoubtedly doing
this year the greatest summer resort
business in her history. Figures com.
piled indicate that about 100000
people spent their vacation within the
confines of New England in the year
1912, and the reports so far show
that this number will probably be
greatly exceeded this year.
Last year there were 4406 hotels
and boarding houses in New England
with total number of persons &C.
commodated it would probably be fair
to multiply the total capacity by six,
figuring on the average vacation be-
ing two weeks and the season to con-
sist of twelve weeks. This would give
1,332,S4 persons accommodated in
the season. Estimates based on these
figures and from the reports of hotel
keepers would place the amount spent
by these vacationists atfi roughly
100000, 900.
That the summer resort business is
one of New Englands leading indus
tries is indicated when comparison is
made with her agricultural figures.
Teh total value of all of New Eng
lands crops in 1909, as given by the
Census, was $141,113,S29. The total
value of her dairy products in the
same year was $50,720,766, or about
half the estimated amount which
summer visitors spent last year.
There is probably no other region
of this country where so much Is
reaped annually from summer board
ers.
