testimony referring to Vice President Slier
man follows:
Sir. Burke In your conversation, with
Mr. Hamon you stated he named a very
hitch official that he said was Interested
In these contracts. You omitted his name.
Mr. Gore I ssy again tnl 1 should very
much prefer not to name It. I am, however,
subject to the will of the committee.
Mr. Burke The committee is here to get
the (nets and we must have all this con
versation. Mr. Gore He suggested that Vice Presi
dent Sherman was Interested, In the con
tra da.
Thomas II, Owen, Counsel for Mr. Gore
In what connection you spoke of any
article appearing In a Kansas City news
paper that two gentlemen had called on the
president. 1 wish you would say who waa
mentioned In that file.
Mr. Gorr In the newspaper of April 14
Vice President Hherman and Senator Curtis
were named as having called to discuss
the segregated coal and asphalt lands. I
tlrjnk before the senate met the next day
the Information .came to jne. 1
Senator Gore explained that lie believed
VVe President Sherman was favorable to
the 'contractu and' a short, ,tjme later he
introduced a resolution lu; j(Uq senate that
would require further action'- ot, congress
before the contacts could" be approved.
Committee Nemilon Urulua.
Oaliator Goro appeared before the special
Investigating committee which convened
here today as a direct result of churges
made by him In the United Status seriate
on June 24. .
yvnen cauea upon oy me cnairman or tho
immlttee, Charles H. Burke of South I
comrn
Dakota to testify, Senator Gore told his
story.
"In 1U08," said Senator Gore, "President
Iloosevelt refused to give his approval to
certain contracts which: McMurray had
secured with the Indians as- tribes. Under
tho law the contracts made with tribes of
Indians were not .valid until approved by
"this president. In 'the' Satiie"jiar McMurray
prpcurred contracts Individually with about
10,00i' of the Indians, whereby the Indians
were, to give 10 per cent of the gross re
ceipts of the sale of their lands. McMurray
catiie to my of fit's at 'Washington and
wanted mo to support; hla contracts. .1 told
blrh I would not do so, but oh the other
hand, I thought It would be absurd for the
Indians tq pay that vast sum of money for
services which the government was duty
bound to perform. The McMurray interests
then went to the president and I sent a
telegram to the president urging him not
to approve of the contracts.
"II was notable" how active were the
Mc&lurray Interests. When I called the
secretary of the Interior, balllnger, to pro
test against the contract I was told not
to talk so loud, as ex-Senator Long of
Kansas was present and he was interested
In. the contracts. V ; , , -J',
. What Hamon' Said.'
"I had introduced in the senate a reso
lution requiring that all ' contracts made
with Indians should be approved by con
gress before they became valid. tin May 6
last the committee having, it under con
sideration Instructed Senator Hughes of
Colorado to report it favorably.
"The very next day Jake Harmon of Law
ton, Okl., came to my office and said he
had a telegram to visit me and was inter
ested in the McMurray contracts.
"Harmon said, "There's a lot of money
tied up in this deal, and a big fee for some
body.' t
"He then explained he wanted me to
withdraw my bill or, at least, have It re
ported unfavorably. It seems he did not
know It had already been reported favor
ably." "When I told him he wanted me to see
Senator Hughes and agree not to press the
measure. "There will be ,000 In it for you
or perhaps 60.00iV-lf you want it.' said
Harmon. He suggested that I call together
tha entire Oklahoma delegation to congress
and have them remove all opposition to the
contracts. , , ,
"In reply to all these offers I told him
that H6.0UO or 150.000 was all the same to
me in a matter of that sort and that I
would have nothing to do with It.
"Harmon then mentioned a' certain, sen
ator and ald he was interested in the con
tracts." ... . .
"What was the name of that senatorT"
asked Chairman IKuke. ,
"I do not want to saybut it was the
same senator who had. Interrogated me a
short time before concerning the rouivuets."
On being urt;ed by the. committee to tell
all he knew. Senator Gore said: "Well, I
might as well tell Who it was. It .was Sen
ator Curtis who Harmon suid waa Inter
ested in the contracts. While I am about It,
I might as well aay that he (Harmon) also
mentioned Congressman . McGulre as being
Interested In the contracts.
rentier Tells of Hamon.
Congressman Creager did not take the
stand until late In ithe day. Asked it he
had ever met ll.unon, be replied, "yes, I
met til 111 by appointment at his rooms at
the Occidental hotel. In Washington He
Invited me there, saying he wanted to talk
ver a little iii:itti-r. At that time effoits
were being made to have the president ap
prove of the McMurray contracts. I already
hail gone on record . us being opposed to
their approval. Well, when I got to the
hotel and wa sitting- In a room with
Hamon, he begun to urge me to with
draw my opposition. He suggested I might
have an interest In the contracts."
"Did he say low much Interest you uilght
have?"
Mi CniiMrr: "No. I aid not let it go
as far that. I mad my language pretty
emphatic that I was oppJed to tha con
tracts U' d won id not be Influenced."
Cungiessmun Stephens: "You mean to
aay that you regarded the offer of such
a character as to arouse your Indignation?"
Mr. Creager: "Yes, that's It. I regarded

It as an offer to Influence my attitude to
ward the contracts. It was even suggested
that 1 call together all the officials ,fl
could and defeat the measure, opposing
the approval of the bills."
Congressman Miller: "What kind of
rooms did Sir. Hamon and Mr. McMurray
havo at the hotel?"
McGulre In Soil.
Sir. Creager Oh, three or four front
rooms. Representative McGulre 6f Okla
homa occupied part of the Hamon and
McMurray aulte. I met Hamon later at
different times. When he heard I was
coming to testify before thla committee
he urged roe not to. He expressed the
hope that 1 would make no statement be
fore this committee.
Recalled to the stand Senator Gore waa
asked to mention the name of the em
ploye of the Department of Justice who
had told him that another employe or an
official In that department waa inter
ested in the contracts.
"That I could not do," replied Senator
Gore. "The matter waa Imparted to me
in confidence, and I regret that It waa
mentioned at a.l."
"Now, senator," interposed . Congress
man Campbell, "don you think it un
fair to go as far before this committee
ana yet not tell all ; ou know? You
know we are here to learn the truth, and
we would like to have all of it made
known."
"No, I would rather not. It is well
known that heretofore employes of that
department have lost their positions for
g.vlng Information, and l would ramer
imi thla feature of the Investigation be
dropped.'
r -
B. P. Hill, an attorney for the Choctaw
tribe of Indians, then asked the senator
what he knew of Preoldont Taffa atti
tude toward tha Mcurray contracts.
Taft Turns Them Itowa. '
l'I think some people interested": in the
contracts went to see the president on April
28," said the witness. "The president stated
that former Senator. Long already had sub
mitted the matter to him and that Mr.
Long's clients, meaning the McCurray In
terests, might have their day In court. J
think the president and everybody mifht'
have his day In court, but that it wouM
take a good deal of argument to convince
him that the amount of fees asked for In
the contracts (3,000,000) was jUBt. In fact,
I think the president made it plain he was
opposed to the contracts."
Senator Gore testified he and Hamon long
had been friends and had been -interested
In business transactions at Lawtott ,Okl.,
In which money loans' were Involved. , Mr.
Hamon is an attorney of Lawton, which is
also Senator Gore's home town. If amoh is
37 years old and married. Aside .from re
publican chairmanships he Jias .been-city
attorney of Law ton and has praticed law
In Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.
References to invitations to "frogleg"
banquet and to alleged assertions by Hamon
that Senator Gore was "going back on his
friends" were made in thee testimony of
D. F. Gore, private secretary' and brother
to Senator Goree.
D. F. Gore state dthat he waa In his
brother's private office at noon on May t
when Hamon appeared.
Hamon Insistent.
"I stepped into an adjoining office and
left the senator and, Hamon alone, except
that once In a while I went in and out.
When tha quit talking, in about thirty or
forty minutes, Hamon came, out into my
room.
" 'Well,' he said, 'Dick, the senator is get
ting awfully bard on hla friends. I want
to make a lot of money, Dick, and I don't
care how I make it.'
"I did not know then what they had been
talking about, but when Hamon left the
senator said he had been talking about
the McMurray contracts' and Hamon had-
offered him $26,000. .' v.
"The senator said -Hamon offered' to in
crease the amount. That was all said lo
me about the matter at that time. Later
McMurray oame to me and said that he
was sure the senator did -not understand
those contracts and he wished he knew of
some way of making him Understand. He
invited me to the hotel to talk it over, so
I could tell the senator. He' also wanted
to know if I would attend frog-leg ban
quet which he was arranging. I declined
all of these invitations."
J. Leroy Thompson, stenographer to Sen
ator Gore, testified he also was in and out
of the senator's room when Hamon was
present. He, too, was Invited to the "frog-
leg" banquet, he said, but declined.
Congressman Campbell: "How long were
the senator and Hamon at conference to
gether?"
I. on a- Talk Together.
Thompson: '"About thirty or forty mln
utes. When Hamon came out I overheard
him say he wanted to make a lot of money
uud he did not care much how he made It.
"Did you hear anything that was suld at
the conference?"
No, I did not. Usually when Hnmon
called, I heard everything that was said.
They never before hud been any effort
to conceal it. But this tlmo it was dif
leieut."
"In what way was it different? Did Ha
inon act differently?"
"Yes.he appeared not to want to say
anything when I waa in the room which
was quite opposite from his usuu
manner."
That the Choctaw Indians who had pro
lusted against giving 10 per cent attorney'
fees to McMurray had been asked to re
scind their action, formed the substance of
testimony offered by W, A. Durant,
Choctaw Indian and a member cf the
Oklahoma slate legislature.
Durant asserted that at a Choctaw co.ua
sc-1 meeting a resolution had beau pawed
.walnut McMurray contracts. Later he
aai da number of peraons had gone out
into the Choctaw nation urging the Indians
to sign a document declaring themselves I
f:.vor of the contracts, but most of the
tribe he suld. opposed their opposition.

TOPEKA, Aug. 1 United States Senator
Charles Curtis, when told today about the
alb gatlons mado by Senator Gore at the
Mi:skogee congressional inquiry Into fne
Indian attorney fee matter, In which his
name was used as one of those interested
In the MrMurray contracts, emphatically
der.!ed having any connection with the
matter who.te.ver and gave the president
and members of the cublnrt and fellow
senators an witnesses to prove bis asser
tions. Senator Curtis today sent a dis
patch to Chairman Burke of North Dakota
of the board of Inquiry and Congressman
t'an.pbell of Kansas, member of the board,
in which he declared that the uso of his
rame in connection with the McMurray
contracts was without foundation and that
he would appear before the commission
at any time and place.
After sending these dispatches Senator
Curtis made the following statement for
the Associated Press:
'The use of my name In connection with
the McMurray land contracts is with
out foundation. I am not and have not
been interested with either of them directly
or Indirectly. I have taken the position
that the Chlckasaws and Choctaws did not
need attorneys to assist them in the sale
of their reserved coal and asphalt lands,
nor in the sale of their reserved timber
lands. I have contended that it was the
duty of the government under the law
p&sted by congress to hardle the property
for the Indians. This can be verified by
tho president, members of his cabinet and
senators."

PROVINCETOWN'S TALL TOWER
Completion anal . Comlag, Dedication
of Memorial to the fllcrln
, 'Fathers. '
The pilgrim spirit has not fled.
It walks in noon's broad light.
And it watches the bed of the . glorious
With the holy stars by night.
It watches the bed of the brave who have
Diea
And shall guard this Icebound ahnra
Till the waves of the bay where the May-
iiower lay
Shall foam and freeze no more.
80 sang the Revt John Flerpont, poet,
descendant of the pilgrim fathers and grand
father of the famous financier who took
his Christian names from him. The pil
grim spirit of which he wrote will have
occasion to rejoice this .ummer In its own
quiet, subdued manner, for it will receive
convincing evidence that it has been trans
mitted to the descendants tof the men and
women who founded New England. , The
evidence has taken shape In the lofty pil
grim memorial at Provlncetown, Mass..
which awaits the convenience of President
Taft for its dedication.
The pilgrim memorial Is the outcome of
the efforts of several years by patriotic
men and women who saw unbecoming neg
lect of the memory of an Important historic
occurrence In the fact that the place of
the first landing of the pllgirin fathers in
America was unmarked by a fitting monu
ment. Almost every one who thinks hlm-J
self acquainted with the primary facts of
American history believes that the pilgrim
fathers and mothers set foot first on the
famous rock at Plymouth. The town on
the inner side oc Massachusetts bay Is
made the destination yaany by thousands
of patriotic travelers. Sut they err In
thinking that in paying veneration to the
rock under the stone canopy at Plymouth
they are setting foot on the first place In
New England trod by white men. That
honor belongs to Provlncetown, Mass., the
village on the inner Bide of the fish
hook barb of which Cape Cod is the shaft
It lies across the bay from Plymouth In an
easterly direction. The date was Novem
ber 1, 1G20, old style.
It was Jinst before the landing was made
at the spot which is now Provlncetown
that the pilgrims signed their immortal
agreement for the "better ordering and
preservation and furtherance'' of their col
ony that has been called the first written
constitution n the world. Abraham Lincoln
declared that thla document did more for
human liberty than the great charter won
by the barons from King John at Runny-
mede.
There will bo Imposing ceremonies at
Provlncetown when the new memorial is
dedicated, probably in August. In addition
to the president of the United Statea, dig
nitaries 01 the commonwealth of Massa
chusetts and others will be present. The
historical address will e . delivered by
President Emeritus Eliot of Harvard. The
cornerstone of tha monument was laid Au
gust 20, 1!W7, by former President Roose
velt, but he probably will be in the west
when the monument is dedicated.
The monument is VJt feet 7 inches high
and is constructed of Maine granite. It Is
modeled after the famous tower of the
Paluxzo Publico In Siena, Italy, which is
considered one of the most beautiful cam
panties, or bell towers, of Italy. The con
struction of the Proviwcetown tower waa
supervised by army engineers . It rests
upon a concrete foundation six feet thick.
The monument cost about IIOO.OUO, of which
$40,0u0 was contributed by the national gov
ernment and U0.000 by the state of Massa
chusetts. Tho remainder was raised by
private subscription through tUo efforts 01

FAMOUS PELDQE THAT FAILED
Recolleetloaa of Allan O. Tharaan
and Presidential' Campaign
of 1SM8.
The death of Allen O. Meyers on his stock
farm in Ohio several day ago has recalled
to Ohio democrats and others an Interesting
episode In his life when he was one of the
crack political correspondents of the Cin
cinnati Enquirer. -
In IS88 Allen Graabery Turman, the
"noble old Roman'1 democrs of Ohh, was
nominated at 8t Louie f. vice president
at the time Cleveland as renominated
ror president. Cleveland l. his first admlh
iitration, in the estin .don of old time
democrats, had been a little too partial to
the Independent votts -of the . country,
and Thurman's nonilitlon fer vice pres
ident waa a recognltjn of the democrats
who believed that the democratic na
tional administration should have been more
friendly to democrats seeking public office.
Nothing though, could have saved Cleve
land in that election,, in the Judgment of
many of his old time friends, for the rea
son that he had preatpltated the Mills
tariff bill upon tha country on the eve of
the national election, and in the opinion
of the late William C. Whitney and other
democrats, some now living, . the people
had had too abort a.Mrpo in, which to di
gest the merits of the Mills . bill and ac
cordingly Cleveland And, Tburman went
down to defeat. That part, of the record,
however, haa little to do. with the Mjrs
story. ,. .
As tha 1888 campaign progressed Calrln
Stewart Brlce, then chairman of the dem
acrotlo national committee. . conceived the
Idea, of having a grcat demonstration in
Madison Square garden, ' New York City.
He believed it would 9, good thing to
nring inurman on from tyg ijome in.joium
bus to speak' on 'that 'o'ecataon to the demo
crats of New York'Cfty? So one day Brice
sent his private car t0"Columbus to bring
Thurman on to the metropolis. That car
was well atocked with all pleasant things
in the way of food and drink.
1 nurman Deiore leaving , nis noma . and
boarding the car had been Importuned by
his wife, whom he fondly addressed as
Mary, my dear." : not to drink anything
on hla trip to New York. ., Thurman at the
time was 75 year old. He had been ac
customed to stimulants for sixty - years.
Ha was a whisky drinker. - He was no
drunkaid, but waa accustomed to whisky
and water with his meals, especially at
dinner. Nevertheless Thurman made that
promise to "Mary,- my dear," and on the
trip-from. Columbus to New York Myers,
the lata Berlah Wilklna, part owner of the
Washington Post. Allen G. Thurman, Jr.,
and several others had great- fun at the
meala in Brlce'a car in hearing the "noble
old Roman," Thurman, say, "No drinks for
ma on this trip. I promised Mary
wouldn't taka a spoonful.'1
Brice's car waa a small one; it was tacked
to a heavy Pennsylvania train, and from
Columbus to New York there was many a
curve around which that car was snapped
Ilka a whiplash. Several in it were made
car sick. As a matter of fact at the meala
in tha oar Thurman, Wllkina, Myers and
all present believed that the occasion waa
too Important for them to take anything
but coffee or tea or lemonade, and it was
a fraasled and nervous party when it pulled
Into Jersey City. Besides, it waa hotter
than Tophat "
Thurman was quickly : conveyed to the
Fifth Avenu hotel, and that evening he
waa aacerted to the great demonstration
In Madison Square Garden. As he entered
the Garden he was attacked by nausea.
He was able to say only a few words, and
one republican newspaper in New York
City, not knowing the circumstances and
being besides Imbued with strong antl-dem-
ocratlc sentiments, said the following morn
ing that Thurman couldn't speak because
he was drunk, and that his sickness was due
to overindulgence in stimulants on the way
from Columbua to New York City.
Allen O. Myers, Allen G. Thurman, Jr.
and the others ware quite disposed to be
angry over thla, anyway they were very
much chagrined. Tha sickness of Thurman
and bis inability to speak on the occaaaion
mentioned ware due, in tha opinion of a
physician called at the time, to tha fact that
Thurman, who had been accustomed to
stimulants all hla Ufa, had in one of the
great episodes of hla career, involving un
usual nervous tension refused them.
Tha following night Thurman waa to
speak In Newark, 'and Myers and the Old
Roman's son, Allen-G., and others In the
party suggested to,. Thurman that . while
it was all very well to keep bis promise to
"Maay, my dear," perhaps 'Mary, my
dear," did not quits understand the situa
tion, and in his advice the New York City
physician agreed. - 80 running out to
Newark In Brice's private car Meyers gave
the noble old Roman a pretty stiff drink
of whiskey. Just about half an hour before
he waa to speak, and Thurman when he
got upon his feet in a hot and stifling hall
Jammed to the ceiling made one of the
tidiest democratic speeches of his life.
On his return to Columbus Thurman ex
plained In his quaint and quixslcal way
to "Mary, my dear," Just how he waa com
pelled to break hla promise to her, but even
to this day many believe that ktory printed
by that republican newspaper that Thur
man waa drunk at the Mad'son Square

Refuses to Talk
of His Mission
Does Not Deny that He Requeited

Party's Sake.
CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-Senator Murray G.
Crane, who is generally supposed to have
come west tor the purpose of Intimating
to Secretary of the Interior Uallinger that
the secretary's resignation from the cabi
net would be to the interest of the repub
lican party, returned east today.
Just before leaving h refused to either
deny or coniirm the report that he had
asked Secretary Ballluger for his resigna
tion. It developed late today that both
the secretary and the senator were In the
same hotel yesterday and ll Is generally
believed, although it cannot be confirmed,
that a conference was held between them,
bvcretary Uallinger arrived In Chicago at
1 o'clock Tuesuay morning, and Senator
Crane put In an appearance at the same
hotel two hours later. The secretary regis
tered, but the senator did not. Doth were
absent from the hotel yesterday afternoon.
Secretary Balllnger left for Seattle last
night after declaring that he would not re
sign. Senator Crane Just before leaving
for tho east today was asked point blank
If
he had requested Secretary Dallinyer's
resignation. He said: "I came west on a
mi.ision. I have been to Minneapolis and
am now returning home. I saw Mr. Dal-
linger there, but it was not by appoint
ment. We simply talked of general mat
ters." "Were you sent west to secure Secretary
Bailinger's resignation?"
"What I was sent for. If I was sent at
11," replied the senator with a smile, "Is
not of public business. I finished my trip
nd am going home, and do not care to
lscuss Mr. Uallinger, politics, or my nils-
on here."
"Did you meet Secretary Balllnger In
Chlcaeo and did you hold a conference with
him here?"
At this point the senator fled. As he
alked Swiftly through the door and up
Michigan avenue, he said:
"I have told you all I am going to tell.
and 1 shall certainly say. nothing about
Mr. Ballnger." '
