A United "Press dispatch from Chi
cago says: "The opening of the pre
liminary battle between the govern
ment and the packers has been de
ferred until 3 o'clock this afternoon
when Alfred R. Urion, chief counsel
for Armour & Co., and three de
partment heads will be asked by Fed
eral tfudge Landls whether steno
graphic note books containing dicta
tion were destroyed before or after
they were asked for by the federal
grand jury conducting "the beef in
quiry. Urion, assistant office man
ager, G. W. Willets, W. W. Shaw-
and Wf A. Helander, Armour office
employes, who were cited to appear,
were on hand promptly at the open
ing of court. With them were an
array of legal talent headed by Levy
Mayer and John S. Miller, On the
government side are W. S. Kenyon,
assistant United States attorney gen
eral, United States District Attorney
Sims, James H. Wilkerson of Wash
ington, and Elwood Goodman.. At
torney Mayer asked for the recess,
saying that he had just been caled
into the case and desired a chance
to talk with his co-counsel and the
witnesses. Th session promises, to
be full of action and interest from
tho start. Every attorney of note in
the city who qQuld, was present at
the opening of court. Urion and his
companions are charged by the grand
jury with hindering and obstructing
justice by ordering the note books
destroyed after their stenographers
told of their contents. The steno-
In the Indian- contract inquiry, in
Oklahoma Douglas H. Johnson, a
Chickasaw Indian was severely cate
chised. The Associated Press report
of Johnson's testimony follows:
"Johnson has testified that he has
always approved of what are known
as the present McMurray contracts,
which provide for the sale of $30,
000,000 worth of land belonging to
the Indians and which would allow
McMurray 10 per cent, or $3,000,000,
in fees. He testified he was a par
ticular friend of McMurray. He tes
tified in what are known as the citi
zenship cases several years ago that
he approved of a. contract in which
McMurray got a salary of $5,000 a
year and $2,700 a. year expenses. A
short time afterward he approved of
another contract on which McMurray
obtained for doing the same work a
contingent fee of $750,000. The lat
ter fee was to have been $1,500,000,
but was cut down one-half by the
government. 'Why was it you were
willing to give McMurray $750,000
for doing that for which he already
was paid as secretary?' asked Repre
sentative C. B. Miller of Minnesota.
'Because we thought he earned it,'
replied Chief Johnson. 'He kept off
the rolls, 3,200 claimants to our pop
ulation and thus saved Us $5,000 for
each person kept oft, a total of $16,
0.00,000. I would have been willing
to have paid him 50 per cent, or $8,
000,000.' 'You were willing to give
a little graft money in order to save
that much land, is that it? Now
tell us why it is that a few days
after that $750,000 was paid to Mc
Murray you were able to deposit to
your personal account in, a bank at
Denison, Texas, $75,000. Where did
you get that $75,000?' . 'I don't
remember; I was dealing in cattle
and my account varied, so I don't
remember.' 'The depositing of $75,
000 to your personal account pro
duced so little Impression on your
mind that you dpn't remember.
