Senator from Oklahoma Says
That Civil Actions For
Lands Not Pushed

Washington, April 7.-Senator
John w. Harreld, Republican, Okla
homa, made voluntary statement to
the Senate Department of Justice in
vestigating committee today relative
to his activities in the prosecution of
the Miller Brothers Indian land fraud
cases.
The Senator had been mentioned
in this connection in the testimony
of former U. S. Attorney Peck of Ok
lahoma, who worked up the cases.
Senator Harreld said he had heard
that Peck was to be replaced because
the Miller Brothers "wanted to get
him out of the prosecution before
the cases came to trial. "He went
to Attorney General Daugherty, the
Senator continued, when he heard
that Mr.. Todd, Mr.. Daugherty's form
cr law partner, had been retained by
the Miller Brothers. He urged that
Peek be retained to prosecute these
cases and this was done. His chief
interest, the senator said, was to
"avoid any scandal
Senator Harreld said he was sur
prscd to hear that pleas of guilty
had been accepted in these cases by
direction of the Department of JUS
tice. Later when he heard that nc
civil suits had been filed to recover
lands involved he reported that fact
to the Indian brother.
Friends Of the Miller Brothers had
asked him to "intercede in their be-
half in Washington" but added that
he did not care to go into that un
less the committee desired to press
it.

Mr.. Harreld said Daugherty did no
know at that time that Todd hat
been retained by the Millers.
Senator Harrcld explained that HI
thought there was "scene for Scan

PREUS, YOUNG
DISAGREE ON
THIRD PARTY
MinnesOtan Believes 1t Is
Strong in Northwest; Con-
gressman Young Differs

Washington, April 7.-Views diff.
fering from those of Governor Preus
of Minnesota as to political cOndi
President Coolidge by two Republi-
can members of the house from that
section. Governor Prcus, who was
White House luncheon guest stated
that third party, headed by Senator
LaFollctt3 of Wisconsin, virtually
would sweep the northwest.
Called on President
Representative Young, Republican,
North Dakota, called on President
Coolidge to tell him that the MINNIE
sofa governor was mistaken, so far
as North Dakota was concerned, and
Representative Larson, Republican,
of Minnesota, took direct issue with
the executive of his state regarding
Republican chances i'm Minnesota.
Governor Preus seems to be un-
duly perturbed over the political
situation in the northwest, Repre-
sentative Larson said in a formal
statement. He imagines that Mag
nus Johnson, who defeated him for
senator last July, still is chasing
him. LaFollette is now his hobgob-
lin, who he says, will capture some
nine states in the northwest by
merely allowing his name to 60 on
the ballot.
Confident of Minnesota
II will not undertake to say what
will happen in the states other than
MINES ota next November, but / am
confident that Minnesota will be
found on the Coolidge column. 1t is
true that there is some political
discomfort among the people of my
state, particularly among the farm
ers, but it is on the wane. The peo-
pie have confidence in Coolidge and
believe that he is sincerely doing
his utmos: to relieve them in their
present economic plight.
q do not know what Governor
Preus purpose was in throwing
this scare into the Republicans. The
governor should not be taken too
seriously. A defeated senatorial
candidate may be simply pouring out
his gloomy pGssimism.

first; and behind him, on a disrepu-

So now. as the two riders approach

THE dusty little man had been
riding with bowed head. weaving

guessed that he had been drinking.

THE hour that followed was for
Paltrey a long one. He had been
given permission to sit down under
tree. Dan sat near him. eyes mild,
but there was a vigilance in the very
ease of his attitude. The younger
men drew apart, smoked cigarettes,
talked together in nervous tones. The
slow minutes ticked away. and the
overhead. made the heat blisterng.
Paltrey vacillated between despair
and hope II he could prove who he
was, he must at least delay the thing
which had for a moment seemed SO
imminent. Even then he might be
held to answer for the crimes he
had done instead of for those of

and shameful treachery. Nell might
have gone to search for him, might
have discovered old Charlie in his
blankets, so still. She would have
understood that Dave was abandon
ing her: her loyalty could not be: ex-
pected to stand that test He thought
with a shudder that a score or SO of
angry men might be already hot
upon his track. In such reflections
the agonizing minutes passed like
hours.
But If Paltrey felt the terrific strain
of this interval of waiting. the young
er men among his captors felt it
equally. Their voices become loud
er, their laughter more forced. For
all the fact that circumstances had
forced them to play a grim and diff
cult role, they were only boys: and

trey was desperately afraid, but. at
the same time, he had d sense OF un-
reality, a certainty that such a catas-
trophe as this could not destroy his
plans II was not that such things
did not happen. They had come un-
der his eye before, but hitherto his
viewpoint had been more disinterest-
ed. His racing thought sought to
find some circumstance which he
could adduce to destroy the structure
of their accusation.
He remembered that the thing he
had left behind him in White Cow
could not yet have been discovered
II he could persuade them that he
was indeed Dave Paltrey, and a
trusted and responsible citizen, he
must shake their certainty of his
present guilt. Leaving White Cow
the day before. he could not have
travelled with sufficient speed to take
part in the robbery which had oc-
CURED that same afternoon. But
there was no way to establish his
movements without going back to

mind for that return.
