Aug. 18.-J. F. Mc Murray, whose contracts with the Indians allowing him 10 per cent attorney fees on the sale of $:W,000,OCO worth of land, is the subject of an Investigation by congress, went on the stand before the special con gressional committee today. Mr. McMurray described his contracts as "a plain business deal." He said the relation of his law firm with uuiiiTis ui'Kun in jnm wuen lie wu Vd l.y the Chocktaws and Chickasaw to appear before the Dawes com Thls commission was empowered ' lne for the government who toV slioi? : Included In the Indian tribes.

McMurray professes to have kept 3.100 claimants off the rolls. These claim ants each would have reduced the tribal property $6,000. It was held MucMurray's firm got a $750,000 fee. In prosecuting the citizenship cases, Mc Murray said he frequently was In Wash re-elected. This Is regarded as the actual J ,n(fton to confer wUh member8 of congress beginning of the real fight on Mr. Cannon. It has been regarded as significant that Mr. Longworth has been called into all of r' the recent conferences of a political char tacter held by President Taft. He was ,ji present yesterday afternoon when the pres ident and vice president talked together. It was reported then that a statement ad verse to Mr. Cannon was being prepared In quarters close to the administration and It was also intimated that Mr. Sherman who, like Mr. Longworth, haa always been a supporter of Mr. Cannon, had become reconciled to the fact that Mr. Cannon must go. TherYnay be further significance In the fact thai Representative Longworth Is go J Ing to Oyster Bay Saturday to spend sev f ' eral daya with his father-in-law, Colonel f Roosevelt. Mr. Long worth's Statement. Mr. Longworth s statement in full Is as follows: "BEVERLY, Mass., Aug. 18, 1910. In view of Mr. Cannon's unequivocal declaration that he Intend to be a candidate for speaker In the next house, I think It 1 incumbent on those of us who are candi dates for membership In the next house.

' Cannot Be Re-Elected. "I am not referring to those who have openly opposed him In the past, but to those who like myself, have supported him. "I am absolutely convinced if there is a, full attendance at the republican caucus , that Mr. Cannon cannot be again elected speaker. "I have a genuine affection for Mr. Can V. lion as a man and the highest respect for hi splendid fighting qualities. I have sup ported him five time for the speakership, having voted four time for his election and once against his removal, but I cannot dfiMo again. ' I repeat : that I shall oppose the re election of Mr. Cannon to the speakership ,a and that I am firmly of the opinion that his re-election is Impossible. I want It especially understood that I say this solely on my own responsibility and on the sug gestion of no one else." - The fact that the statement was given put following the conference at the sum mer Whit house yesterday afternoon re garding plans for the coming congressional campaign la taken here a Indicating that 'President Taft as well a Vice President Sherman is behind the movement to eliminate Mr. Cannon. Vnele Joe Haa No Objection. DANVILLE, 111., Aug. 18,-Speaker Can non when shown the dispatch from Beverly regarding the statement given out by Rep resentative Nicholas Longworth, said: "Mr. Cannon decline to answer any state ment which Mr. Nicholas Longworth may or may not have made until he sees It. I do not answer any statement which 1 be lieve to be fakes that mischievous parties make. "It la time enough for me to answer the president of the United States If he hus any statement to make touching on the re I ublh'anlam of the speaker of the house of repress ntutlves, when ho makes that state ment over his own hand. I will not fight windmills filled by breexes blown from the lungs of political or personal enemies or cowards. "I have no uuariel with Longworth as to who shall be spuaker of the next house and there is no room for disagreement touching on this matter between Repre- sentutlve Ijongworth and myself," suld Speaker Cannon today.

At last an appeal was taken from the Dawes commission and a citizen court was created whose Judgments relative to enrollment was to be final. It ws in the actions of this court that the 8,100 claimants were kept off the rolls. The attorneys' fee In this case was fixed so that McMurray' fee would have been 0 per cent of the money "saved" to the Indians. He put In a cli.lm for almost $1,600,000, but this fee was contested and finally fixed at 8750,000. This was subsequently referred to by Representative Jonn H.

The plurality of Hiram W. Johnson, In surgent candidate for the republican nomi nation for governor, over Charle F. Curry, rib nearest rival, is close to 80,000 and will be slightly increased by the return from precincts still missing. . , Congressional returns give the regulars four and the Insurgent three nominations a gain of two for the latter. The Eighth district, represented by Sylvester C. Smith, was again placed in the doubtful column today, although Smith probably ha pulled through by a narrow margin. John D.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM TREES Young- Chlcaaro Man Compelled to Await New Part from Paris Saya He I a Trae American. ' CHATHAM, England. Aug. 18. John B. Molssant, the Chicago aviator, who Is at tempting to fly from Pari to London, de scended for the second time mar here to day, breaking the propeller and part of tr. frame of the machine In making the second landing. The broken parts must be replaced from Parla and a resumption of the flight to London before tomorrow Is improbable. Neither Molssant nor his mechanician was Injured in the accident. The good fortune which accompanied Molssant In the earlier stage of his flight from Parts and In his record-breaking Journey across ,the channel with a pas senger seems to have deserted him with his arrival on English shores. Motor Defective. Motor defects in the aeroplane, which yesterday had worked without a slip, forced him to make two successive land ings when about half way on the course between London and Tllmanstone, where he ascended at 4:66 this morning. His first descent, a mile from Sitting bourne, about twenty-five miles from Lon don, was due to the displacement of a small pin In the mechanism, entailing an Immediate descent. He narrowly escaped disaster In the landing. Just missing the mouth of a deep chalk pit. a fall Into which would have meant death of th aviator and his mechanician.. Repairs to the machine detained him nearly three hours. He then made a second start, but had scarcely covered ten miles toward his goal when a second accident brought him down at Ralnham, Kent. A rod connecting up the driving gear of the aeroplane was fractured, stopping the engine and forcing the Chicagoan to plane down Immediately to the 'ground. He landed In a field, but only skillful ' handling of th ' aeroplane prevented It plunglng'lnto a clump of trees, '.'. Machine Llarhta IlpaTllr.'. . .'. Molssant made an.abrunt turn to. escape I these and, the machine came down heavily, breaking the chassis and smashing a blade of. the , propeller. Molssant and his mechanician climbed out uninjured, but on looking over the . damage were of the opinion that the repairs could not be done on the spot and they must wait for new parts, for which they immediately tele graphed to Paris. The machine of Molssant at present lies In a most awkward position, every foot of the garden where the landing was made presenting , such obstacles that Molssant and the experts who had gathered to in spect the monoplane can scarcely conceive now he managed to descend without serious Injury to himself and his mechanism. He protests against the' report that he Is of Spanish descent, and insisted proudly today to the visitors, who conversed with him: . . "I am an American. My parents were French. Canadian from America. There Is no Spanish blood In meW DESSAU, Germany, Aug. 18.
