Detailed Testimony. , Hamon entered a general denial of Sen ator Gore's charges that he offered the sen ator $26,000 or other loan to ''put through' the $30,000,000 land deal. Ha denied being himself Interested In the McMurray con tracts and said he was in Washington in , the Interest of Governor Haskell of Okla homa. Ha also denied offering Congressman C. . Creagor an "Interest" In the deal. Hamon described himself as an attorney ef Lawton, Okl., the home of Senator Gore. He said he had known the senator for nine years and1, had loaned him money Jn business transactions. "Did you tell Senator Gore that you were ready to pay him $26,000 or $r0,000, and tnt money would not be marked, that there would be no checks, but that tha money would be dear, hard cash?" the witness asked. "I never made sueh an offer," replied ' Hamon. "Did you ever mention to Senator Gore that Vice President Bherman, Benator Cur tis, former Senator Long or former Sen ator Thurston were Intersated in the Mc Murray cntractsT" Hamon was asked., "I never did. I was in Washington In the Interest of some, Indian tribes at a fee of $50 a day and expenses and la tha Interest of Governor Hsskell In tba Muskogee town Vt cases." , Visit te Washington. After making a general denial Of Senator Gore's charges, Mr. Hamon stated ths cir cumstances of his visit to Washington and tho reason for his being there on May 6 last when the senator alleged the offer of bribery took place In the- senator's private Sfflce. Tha witness said ha had intended to leave Washington several days' previously, but that be received a' telegram from Governor Haskell's attorney to remain there. That was the telegram he said which Senator Gore referred to as having come from J. F. McMurray and which as tha senator, prompted the hurried conferenca and the lifer ot bribery. As a matter of fact, sa'd Mr. Hamon. ha had not seen Mr. McMurray for a year previously. The witness said ha occupied part or the apartment of Congressman Mc Gulra of Oklahoma, but that McQulre paid trie noiet run. "Did you visit Senator Gore on May (?" Chairman Burke asked. I think I did. I called on him almost avery day and discussed my affairs with him.. I told him I was in town to take care of Governor Haskell's affairs relative to the indictment of tha governor In the Muskogee town lots cases. The senator apparently was unfriendly to the governor." Gore Flatly Contradicted. ,Now you besrd the testimony of Sena tor Gore yesterday in which be accused you of offering htm $26,000, or $00,000 In con nection with the McMurray contracts, you heard him say that he was told by you that that muoh money would be available to htm If ha removed his opposition to con gressional approval and the money would Dot be marked. What have you to say to these ohargesT" "There is absolutely no truth In them. I never discussed the McMurray contracts with him at all. Senator Gore asked me If I knew McMurray. I said I did and he was a man of high standing. 'Well,' said tha senator, 'McMurray has been making me some trouble.' "That la all that was said. On another occasion the senator took ma Into the sen ate library and closed all the doors so that we could be alone. I don't know the rea son for nothing was said that properly could have been overheard by anyone. Aid talk with the senator about Indian af fairs, but they were minor matters In which I was interested and which had nothing to do with McMurray." Congressman C. E.

Congressman Creagor again testified con cerning his meeting with Jake I. Hamon, charged by Senator T. P. Gore with being a promoter for J. F. McMurray, who held contracts for the sale of the land on a 10 per cent basis. "What was the le'hgth of time of the con versation you said you had with Hamon at the hotel in Washington and at which he' said you might obtain an 'interest' in the contracts If you helped put them through?" asked C. B. Ames, counsel for McMurray. "About two minutes," said Creager. "Did you state to -Senator Gore that an attempt had been made to Influence you?" "I did not. All I said was that at the propen time I would rise In the house to a question of personal privilege." "On about May 6, did Senator Gore call you ut on tha telephone and tell you a lit tle bird had whispered to him something important about the McMurray contracts?" "Ho did not." v ' "You were on friendly terms .with. Mo Murray?," "Yes, I saw him frequently." " Author ot Land Bill. Mr. Creager then said lie 'was the author of a bill providing for the sals for the lands on a $30,000,00 basis. ' ''Did McMurray help you frame that bill?" "Yes." Then that bill expressed the wishes of McMurray V "Some of his wishes. We went over the bill together." 'Were your conferences with McMurray secret?" "No, not secret. We often talked In prl- vate." 'Did McMurray ever make any improper proposition to you to influence you to ob tain legislation for hlmt" 'He never did." V 'Did your bill meet the approval of the Oklahoma delegation In congress?" 'Not entirely. They approved of it as a whole, but disagreed to soma details."1 'In previous testimony you said that Con gressman McQulre of .Oklahoma lived at ths same hotel In Washington with Kamon and McMurray. Did you mean to actually occupy the same rooms?" 'Congressman McQulre frequently was In their rooms, but I think his rooms were one or two stories higher up. Tha hotel was frequented by congressmen generally." Questioned by Senator Gore, Mr. Creager said his bill provided for the sala of tha land by the secretary of the Interior and did not provide for any attorneys fees. If hi bill was passed, he said, the attorneys fees would not have been granted. DENIAL BY VICE PRESIDENT .... hherman Says He Has No Interest In McMurray Contracts. BIG MOOSE, N. Y.'. Aug.

MASON SMULitS OUT PATTEN Omaha Bee Man in Chicago Disprove! Plunger's Allegation. FARMERS NOT AUTOMOBILE MAD Kansns City Bankers Write that They Do Not Hold Farm Mort-Sraa-es as Seearltr for Autos. CHICAGO, Aug. 5. (Special.) -- Kansts City bankers drny In vigorous terms a statement made by James A. Patten re cently that western farmers were Jeop ardizing the prosperity of the country by their craze for automobiles, and that he know of one Kansas City bank which "holds fifty-two mortgages on the B:tmo number of machines," The denials are In answer to letters of Inquiry addressed, by G. W. Mason, Chi cago managrf of the Omaha Bee and the Twentieth Century Farmer, to eighteen leading KSnsai City bankers. Twelvo re sponses were received within three days. Not only do each of tha bankers deny that their Institutions carry loans on automo biles, but thay .resent the Imputation tftst the credit of western farmers Is unstable. "If they rids In machines they at least can affoid to own them, which Is more than can be said of some city motoriBts," is the way some of the bankers character ize the automobile erase among western farmers. 1 Ths answers in part, ars as follows: J. W. Perry, president National Bank of Commerce;- There Is absolutely no trutn in the statement that any Kansas City hank holds fifty-two mortgages on homes, the proceeds of which went to buy autos. We do not have any of that kind of bank ers In Kansas City. F. II. Burrow, vice president National Reserve bank of Kansas Cityi We have never had an application for a loan of this character and do not think any of the banks here make automobile loans. F. P. Neal, president Southwest National bank: It Is my opinion that farmers who have bought automobiles have paid cash for them. i Knoira Not a Single Case. H. C. Lambert, cashier German-Amerioan bank: I do not know of a single case of a person who has bought an automobile find ing it necessary to mortgage property to do so. P. W. Goebel. president Commercial Na tional bank: We have never held a mort gage which was given to secure a purchase note fir an automobile. William T. Kemper, President Commerce Trust Company We are Inclined to think some people of this city ars riding In auto mobiles who can ill afford to do so, but we don't believe this applies to the western farmer. Walton P. Holmes, President Pioneer Trust Company So far as we are able to ascertain the farmers in this section ot the country ars not going wild about auto mobiles. Those that seem to be able to own them are buying them. The farmers owning automobiles are advocating good roads, which, of course, is a thing much desired. Hold No Auto Mortaaares. H. Koehler, Cashier Western Exchange Bank Tftls bank does net lend Its. funds on chattel mortgages. We hold no mortgages on automobiles, ,, . ... James L.,. Lombard, President Corn Belt Bank Concerning the farmers, I think they rarely purchase automobiles unless they feel they can afford to do so or live such a distance from a railroad that time is saved by owning an automobile. . v J. F. Downing, President New, England National Bank Usually tha people who buy automobiles, while they may not have the money to pay for them, have good enough oredtt to get them without mortgaging. Charles E. Walte, vice president of the Drovers' National bank, wrote that he did not know of any Kansas City bank that had been loaning money for the purchase ot automobiles, but he agreed with Mr, Patten that farmers had gone la debt a good deal on the purchase of more land.
